I am still talking to her but every time she reply's she says babe or baby. and some of the words are miss spelled. she also emailed me a picture of her passport . I looked at it and it is up to date.She said she had to get it because she had to the UK . She also said that she wonted me to help her get her dads assets that's he lost when i past away. Does this sound like a scam or just a real person?

Welcome to Scamwarners.
That's certainly a scam. Scams featuring widows or orphaned children asking for help getting inherited money out of their country are very common. The "help" always involves the victim sending money to the scammer. Commonly known as advance fee fraud.
Can you post the first email please. Less your personal details of course.

Can you also post what "she" wrote when "she" first met you and when she asked for money?

Scammers (who are most often male, even when they are pretending to be female) often use "scripts," pre-written emails that they use again and again on new victims, even after they change names. Posting these scripts can help others to avoid being scammed.

Also, one note about the bank account information request. Occasionally a scammer really does want to put money in your bank account. When they do, the money they want to put into your account is stolen. They want to use your account to transfer that money, and then either have you send it to them or transfer it to another bank account. Either way, this is money laundering, and when the police are contacted about the stolen money, the trail will lead straight to you--leaving you possibly facing some serious jail time as you can be charged for the crime.

Here is the messages that start to lead to the bank account
Good morning to you and how are you doing?I have always been honest and I got no time for games or dramas here because I want lifetime relationship and don't beleive in divorced...I am sorry it took me so long to write you back.I have been in deep thought and depressed because I had from my mom that my son had been admitted to the hospital for 4days now because he has Dahorea and vomiting and he had been real sick and serious and I have been so worried cause I don't want him to die and my mom told me that according to what the doctor said that my son could die if we didn't make a move about the payment so they can start treating him and get him some pills so I have been running up and down to get but no luck and my friend am staying with refuse to help me for that cause already she is treating me like slave and thats why I have been happy and worried so much and I taught that i told you that my son stays with my mom relocate to Nigeria cause of the threaten that my dad family is given us after my dad passed away,though my mom was only born in Nigeria and she lives here in USA for 52yrs and she is an orphan.My dad met my mom in college in USA and they married each other.My Mom is white in color.One more thing Sweetie is that I don't know what happened to me whether I was crazy or just lonely, all I know is I was sick of being deceived, mistreated, and unloved. Then you came along... I don't know why. All I know is that I felt a connection on our first conversation,something I had never felt before which at first made me feel uneasy, stupid and even a bit childish, which made me go through all kinds of emotions as we chatted and began finding we had a lot in common. I felt like we had known each other from an unknown past.At first I was scared and a part of me wanted to ignore and just believe that you were just someone who was playing a game being that we were both behind the screen. I was thinking I was crazy to have the feelings I was beginning to have for you. I was really upset with myself and became very angry with the way I was feeling. I didn't want to admit to you or anyone else that I was falling for someone I had never actually met. I thought I was becoming insane myself - damn it - I tried to fight these feelings off but they were just too powerful for me to ignore! I tried to convince myself that this can't be for real; that you couldn't REALLY be feeling the same as I was... I was going insane!!! No matter how hard I tried - I just could not fight the feelings I was having for you. because I was scared of being disappointed, but the magnetism that I was feeling was so strong that I could no longer fight it. Our communication became an everyday thing and the feelings just would not go away no matter how hard i tried.I just could not resist the temptation of meeting you pretty soon... all along I could not believe that you were for real, but when we finally first met on here I knew then there was no way I could stop from loving you. I Always have this thought that when we meet, these feelings would just go away, but with the way things are going i don't think they will ever go away((SMILE)). I tried so hard to convince myself that there is no such thing as true love... but you have made me believe differently.I hope you have the same feelings for me and I am given you my heart and I hope you wont hurt it and I wont regret meeting you because I am saying it again that I want life time and someone to get old with in love,joy,happiness,lifetime and family.Baby do you ready for all these?I have to go for now and see if I can get someone who can help me for my son because I am really depressed about this cause I don't want him to die and I can kill myself if anything should happen to Him..Baby, I also want to know if you are ready to stand by me so I can contact my dad lawyer to claim my dad Fund with him...I am tired to been in hard time and things aren't not good for me here at all and I will appreciate if you are ready and willing to stand by me so we can get the fund and let me know if you are ready so I can contact the lawyer to start the processing.

I will come to you when you want me to come but you know am in hard time too and I don't have any money on me to come you but I am happy because i receive an email from my dad lawyer that my dad client who owe my dad $25,500 wants pay my dad back but the client said that that he can only pay though check book so the lawyer wants to send the check to me but i told him that I don't want him to send it to me because i don't want my friend here to know about the check plus i don't trust my friend..Baby, i want to know if I can trust you with this check so i will tell the lawyer so they can issue the check on your name and you can cash it for me and you will send part of the money to my mom and also send part of the money to me so that i can come to you and we can start our family together and be happy.I will also want you to give your sons part of the money and you keep the rest with you till i come to you and we will know what to do with the rest of the money...so let me know if i TRUST YOU with this money? I want to be with you forever because i don't beleive in divorced and I want to be happy forever with you.If you have yahoo messenger let me know so that we can chat there and see each other on webcam..I look forward to hear from you soon.
Love forever,
Cares..Tanya

Welcome to ScamWarners. Both of these examples are perfect examples of the Advanced Fee Fraud (AFF) including the Next of Kin (NOK) scam. To learn more read this information: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3242

It is really best to stop all communication with the scammer. Undoubtedly, you have shared personal information with them that they could use to hurt you and your reputation. Scammers are really criminals and should not be messed.
