Hi there! Looks like I've been scammed!! Met this person on local Vancouver, Canada date site OKCUPID, but was talked into corresponding via Yahoo as follows;
[email protected] + email; [email protected]
Have been corresponding with a handsome James Mcbride, electrical engineer, working on contract with US military in Pakistan. Photos were sent of him and his son. Says he was Canadian, although grammar was weak, and seemed foreign. When asked he denied any having any accent.
Traced IP address to Nigeria. Very persistent in leave request for transit grant with the United Nations. Email from UN with attached documents as follows;
PLEASE BE WARE: NEVER GO TO YAHOO to CHAT if met on online date site. Do not send personal info. no matter how handsome picture is.
