This is the email used by Edith Agebe/Edith Bakba
She is a romance scammer using various single and dating websites on the internet.
Her story is a variation of the following combinations.
She is a student/refugee whose father/family have been killed/assassinated by Government soldiers/rebels/ethnic tribes, but before they were killed, her father placed into secure storage a trunkbox/chest/safe deposit box containing cash/gold/diamonds that were to be held in storage for her.
Her wicked stepmother/uncle/other family members are trying to prevent her gaining access to this, and she needs your help in getting this trunkbox/chest/safe deposit out of the country.
You will be introduced to various other people, Lawyers, Barristers, Customs Agents, Security Officials, Government Officials, all with lavish credentials and Certificates, and all needing a payment to facilitate the smooth transaction of this procedure.
At some point, Edith will fall in love with you, and want to move to your country to be with you, if only you could help her with some payments for Visas, passports, rent, food, hospital fees etc.
You will also get requests for further payments to the Officials, and until they are met, she cannot move to be with you. You will be introduced to other close friends of hers, who will at various times, send you emails about how Edith has been taken to hospital due to poisoning by her wicked Aunt/Uncle, and you will need to send more money to pay for the hospital. She maybe shot, robbed, have her flat burgled, her car stolen, all requiring you to send more money.
There is no trunkbox/chest/safe deposit box. There is no gold/diamonds/cash. There is no gorgeous african beauty queen.
What there is, is a Nigerian guy about 25 - 30 years old, usually a student, living in either Lagos or Amsterdam, with access to girlfriends who pose for photos and share in the proceeds of your money.
You are requested to send money via Western Union or Moneygram, which once picked up cannot be traced or recovered. You will face a never ending list of requests for money, from more and more officials, and from Edith, for more and more payments.
When you finally run out of money, and stop writing, after a few weeks, they will contact you again, from a different email, claiming to be from the EFCC, and stating they can recover your money, if only you make an application fee to proceed with your claim.
This is another scam. Your money is gone, and can never be recovered.
