The mistakes in English are not typical of one educated by a German. I bet she's never been out of Nigeria in her life.

Hello idoru99 welcome to scamwarners.

It’s a scam.

Your instinct is correct. Lizzy [email protected] [email protected] is a scammer.

The writing style is of a Nigerian man (not a woman) sitting in an internet café. It’s a typical script in dating scams.

The scammer is setting the stage for a money request. Such as being robbed, no money for airfare home, new computer and etc.

The scammer will eventually have you send money to him by western union, money gram or bank transfer. Once the money is sent you will never see it again. If money is sent new problems will arise requiring more money.

Please stop communicating with him and not tell him he is posted here. Thanks for warning others.

She contacted me and asked me to go to gopayment.com and apply and then she told me about an inheritance

Welcome to scamwarners ThomasT,

It is a scam there is no inheritance, she is not in a refugee camp nor are any bank officials involved. She is actually a he. There will be promises of large sums of money once you pay some fee's to release the money. The scammer has no intent to visit / marry you, give you or invest the made up inheritance. The only goal is to steal your money. Once you send money via Western Union, Money Gram or bank transfer you will never see it again.

Please post the scammers email address if it is different from what is already posted. Also it will be helpful to others if you can post the scammer emails removing your personal information. Some people will search part of the scammers scripts they send out.
