Before telling you this new story, I need to know if there is possibility to change my pseudonym on this site.
After that, I need to know the owner of this mobile phone number in this world: +22675483988 and at at the end, I need to know the real details of the bank called "BANK OF AFRICA" in Ouagadougou, Burkina FAso in Africa.
That is so ashamed to relate how I was a victim.
Why does not Western Union lead a missiomn to arrest all these persons?
It is very sorry for me and ashamed too.
I will tell you when I shall have your answer about my questions.

I've put a call out to get help to change your pseudonym, so you'll get a pm about it soon.

First things first. You have nothing to be ashamed of - you aren't a criminal and it's usually because a victim is honest and trusting that they become a victim.

I have dealt with many people who refuse to believe that they are being scammed and keep paying money away to scammers. Even then it is not their fault, but to understand what has happened to you means you are learning by one mistake. In life we all face tragedies, sometimes very major ones, and you learn to get over them. Alongside them losing money is not such a life changing event. I've had my share and after them, you learn to keep things in perspective.

There's no sense blaming yourself and thinking you are a fool. Many very educated and intellignt people have fallen for scams and some of the amounts involved are staggering.

It's unlikely that you'll get your money back as the countries involved don't have very effective police systems and scammers make use of anonymous payment and messaging systems, but if you post copies of the e-mails (with your personal details deleted) we'll tell you what we can, as long as you understand that any money you've paid is gone.

Whenever payment is requested by Western Union you're dealing with a scammer

Hi Jim, Welcome to Scamwarners. As GomerPyle said, there is no need to feel ashamed or blame yourself, if you are a victim of a crime. Many of us first started coming here because we were victims too.

Is this scam you are referring to the same one that you posted about Miss Doris Lovina Kassala?
