SOME ONE EMAILED ME

some one told me that i should help her to get her money. She said she's in camp senegal her name is LINDA DIARA and her email is [email protected], please found out if this girl exist.

There is no need for me to do that.

This is a scam without doubt and is one of the simplest and earliest stories that scammers devised.

To obtain the large amount of money they promise you, you will be required to pay some money to another person, who is actually the scammer themselves. The story is a complete lie and really the person is just asking you to pay them money.

Do you want to pay a stranger some money ? You won't get anything back. They are lying to you.

I can also confirm the 'girl' would be fake. If you scroll to the top of this page, the site search function is on the right hand side. Type the words, senegal scam into the search. You will be amazed at the results shown on the screen. I counted well over 700 entries. What you describe LEONARD is a common scam, sad to say.

Typical refugee scam. The scammer will claim to be the son or daughter of a deposed political or military leader, and they are so destitute that they are living in a camp (Senegal is a popular choice for the story) as a refugee - but also having internet access. They have access to their relative's funds, but not until they are safely out of the country. The scam tries to garner sympathy for the poor young person, but it can also take a romantic turn sometimes.
