Nigerian Dating Scam
2009 March 5
This is another cautionary tale about finding love online.
A woman is romanced with the criminal finding her and contacting her through her dating profile.
After many conversations and even phone calls, once love was admitted to the requests for money started.
Even though the woman was cautioned by her friends not to send any money, the woman fell victim to tugs of the heart and sent thousands of dollars for a variety of reasons to this Nigerian fraudster.

So, what have we learned? Do not send money to someone you have met online, no matter how sincere they seem.
My motto is “Until you can smell them, it’s not really love”.
