MEN Beware of scams carried out by Nigerian women!
Many of us men have tried or are using online dating sites to find the right partner. Many of us are sincere seekers of this type of woman! Our email alerts us that a woman has sent us a message on that site, and if the message has one, there is an image of an attractive, usually young woman. So of course we click the link or open our browsers to see what she said to her. This person’s bio says that she is from Birmingham, AL or San Francisco, or Vancouver…any relatively normal place for a woman to live within North America.
For any of us who are remotely literate, we note that English is poor… nothing like American or Canadian, but we keep reading anyway. She says things like “I’ve been described as sexy” or “I’m looking for that man who will love me and treat me like a queen” or “I’ve been terribly abused and I’m looking for someone who will treat me true” or “I read your bio and I saw your photo and I think we would make a cute couple” – things that attract us for various reasons, since our needs and desires and what will attract us varies greatly from one man to another. man.
These biographies are a siren’s song, and like the Greek hero Odysseus and his men, many of us simply cannot resist. Like fools, we keep reading anyway… even though that little voice inside of us (the voice that has saved my butt so many times when I’ve bothered to listen) you all know that voice too, I’m sure. ) is sounding little alarm bells like “But the writing is SO bad…” or “Okay… this is too good to be true!” or, if you’re over 50 like me, “What the hell would someone as young (say 22, 21, 31, 28 – pick a number, they’re all there) and as charming as this want with an old man?” 55 years old like me? I mean, come on guys… we all probably still think we’re just as charming in our golden years as we were when we were so much younger, but BE REAL! The alarm bells are REALLY going off NOW! But like I said, (ahem!) we keep reading and maybe later we’ll decide to write again.
The messages may already contain an address for Yahoo messenger or MSN Live or one of the other popular chat engines, or through your correspondence back and forth (and they’ll get back to you) you’ll eventually get a contact address for these chat engines . Ok… here’s another red flag… if the greeting message you originally received takes you to his bio and the chat messenger’s contact information is there for all to see… how many other guys do you think who received the same? generic message? Anyway, we added that person as a contact…and HERE IT IS! LIVE!! We open a dialog to talk to her with a “Hello… how are you… I’m Bob…” or whatever and she responds. And you have this nice dialogue session with this person. Eventually, with the first or more of these dialogues, they’ll start sucking you in with romantic proposals and photos that entice because they’re getting sexier, scantily clad, and gorgeous as models, but probably not photos of them. These are more than likely images you got from a catalog or online, or from any good source you could find!
Eventually, what will come of it is a well-written story with a request for money…something like “I came here from America for a modeling job my roommate recommended.” Which is believable, I mean the photos are of that caliber! “When I got here my boss for the modeling contract wanted to have sex with me but I’m a good Christian lady and I wouldn’t do it so he beat me up and fired me and now I have no food.” If you’re a softie or a basic humanitarian like me and can’t stand to see people suffer, maybe this will touch you a bit. If you’re a smart, tough guy who goes “Aww…fuck this” and completely drops the ball, you definitely have my respect and admiration…my heart always seems to get in the way, heh heh. You tough guys don’t need to read any further, this article is simply not for you!
But… if you’re like me, keep listening. “Can you help me?” NOW the alarm bells are really ringing… the little voice is no longer LITTLE! But maybe you’re a fool like me and you don’t listen either! So, you ask: “Well, how much do you need?” She says “$50.00” Jeez, that’s not a lot of money (to a lot of us) and you wonder how to send it so she asks and she hints at some money transfer service like WU. She contacts them and sends the money and then when she asks for it the transaction confirmation number from WU and she thanks you and maybe a few more pictures of her going from fully clothed to very revealing! Keep in mind that we are talking about a nice Christian lady. Now personally I don’t have a real religion anymore, but living in America or Canada, I think most of us know the principles and “good Christian ladies” won’t show you pictures of their boobs right away, if at all. . ? But being the horny guys that we are, we also ignore this warning. Gods, we are so dumb…so driven by our bodies!
Now let’s think about this for a minute, shall we? A woman who is a beautiful model contacted us with an invitation to chat. She may have told you that she was falling for you (after you’ve known her for 2 hours). She talks to you very sweetly and investigates you to find out about you. She might even ask you for personal information like her bank account, credit card, to fuel potentially deadly identity theft schemes and I know guys have given these things up! She is looking for money from you and now you have sent it. Hit! Probably not… you’ve almost definitely been SCAMED!
These women keep bleeding you and bleeding you for the same amount or maybe progressively more and more money with all kinds of sad stories and tales of their love for you. Sometimes it will even lead to something like “I want to be with you but I have no way to get to you.” And you’ll come up with the “brilliant” idea of sending them money for a plane ticket. These women are SO good at this kind of manipulation…it sounds like it was all your idea! Just like internet marketing geniuses, these girls have found their niche. And YOU’re not the only guy they’re talking to… NO WAY! They’re so good at this they could have a hundred of us or even more kicking these bucks around. Some of them work for bosses from home or in a boiler room setup where they are provided with everything they need to get their money and they get a sweet percentage of what they earn. Can you imagine the income that could be derived from a really good woman working in this market? We’re talking thousands and thousands of dollars a month! God! Am I in the wrong business?
Also, unless you talk to them on the phone, it might even be some ugly hairy Nigerian guy doing the tampering! Even with a phone call, you CANNOT be sure! The internet is the best place to fake ANYTHING! Even male orgasms!
So the safest thing to do is to drop this ball completely! By the time she says she’s in or from Nigeria, and she’ll most likely say it right away because you’ll probably want to phone eventually… she’ll probably even ask you to call! And you will know from the country code where she is … so there is no point in hiding this! Just when you’ve been mined for money or have the plea(s) floating around in your head, RUN LIKE HELL! Trust ALL your alarms!! They are there for a reason!!
If you’re still not convinced about any of this, then YOU offer to fly to them!! Or tell them you’re sending them a non-refundable e-ticket to fly to you. You will find out upon landing in Lagos or by mentioning the words “non-refundable” if you have anything or not. And personally, if I flew there and she didn’t show up, I’d get the hell out of Lagos soon because Nigeria is ONE SICK PUPPY with more thieves per capita than there are kidnappers and cartel workers in the Colombian highlands.
I wrote this because I wanted to spare you the slightly hurt feelings, despair, frustration, anger and shame that I have felt from being scammed. I hope I was able to help.
For you ladies who might have read this, I don’t know if the same thing happens to your lonely hearts as it does to men’s, but if so, then I warn you to watch out too!
Save your money and be patient!! If it’s meant to be, your partner will show up sooner or later.
