I need advice on a problem?

i have been e-mailing with this woman from africia for three months, a woman who claims to be visiting her mother and every time i try to identify her, it seems like she can not be confirmed. her photos do not seem to be of the same person although there are similiarities, and her english has poor qualities to it that i would not expect from a woman from england. she is asking for money but claims her mother has land and other wealth to her name, and she is 29 but always seems to be asking or depending on her mother. do i have a right to be concerned? i beleive she is a fraud, but am i being fair?I need advice on a problem?
I have had alot of emails from some woman in Africa that needs me to send her money....beware there is a huge scam going on.....don't trust people that you don't know that are looking for a handout....look out for yourself and she probably is a fraud.I need advice on a problem?
IT IS a fraud! I've seen it on dateline NBC.... It's a very common scam. Don't give ';her'; any information and forget about her. I bet she doesn't even exist.


Be careful!





Hope this helps....
She probably is a fraud. Africa is were a lot of the fraudulent active comes from. Date Line even did a segment on it just a couple of months back. I'd stay as far away from her as you can. Besides she may not even excised, she could be someone a guy created to seal your money. That's what they do. They let you think it's a girl on the up and up and the whole time it's a guy stealing your money.
She IS a fraud... common e-mail trick.... and you're falling for it?
This is a variation on a very very old scam called originally 'The Spanish Prisoner'. It is a very common fraud perpetuated via email.





Now if you really want to have a laugh check out this page:

It's a chronical of how one person, fed up with this fraud, actually turned the tables on the scammer and played with/strung along the person trying to do the fraud. It also demonstrates who pathetically stupid some of these fraudsters are. Warning, it is hilarious and I don't recommend reading it while drinking soda (you might laugh so hard it shoots out of your nose).





Really really funny.





As to your question I think you already knew the answer before you asked it. Yes, this is a scam, and it is very likely that you are not talking to a woman at all. Do not give 'her' one cent, but you might string her along for a while just for a laugh - tell her something like you want to make a bank transfer but your bank requires a check from her so you can route the money; see if you can get 'her' to send you money instead of the other way around, lol.
I did many cases involving internet, sad to say a large % of profiles proved to be false, and ANY request from a chat room/email etc asking for money in some form, is 99.9% of the time fraudulent.


These people are emailing/chatting to thousands of people a month, if only a few in every hundred fall for the tale, and send them a few dollars, it adds up.


Put a pic of a pretty student from S.E.Asia on some sites, say you study, but family poor, - you will get 20+ hits per day, ask for help with internet fee's, and later say you are trying to save for a laptop, you will hookma few people for sure !


You could also check the IP address, often they are interesting, they will at least give you the region the emails are from. [ Big chance Nigeria ! ]


Remember they need to have a different, and viable story, there are plenty of homeless/desperate people everywhere, or elderly or children, you can personally help, - dont fall for this rip off !
i would leave it as is and give her no money and say it is not my problem because you want to give your money to a good cause and if you give it to her and she just might get more money from her mother so i wouldnt do anything. ) :
Sounds like a fraud to me.
don't give her any money...alot of people from other countries prey on americans to send them money so they can come to america. Be careful
Do not send her money yet...Especially a check because she might just trace your account. I saw this on dateline on NBC about west Africans. The problem is some West Africans give us innocent Africans a BAD name..I'm from Botswana(southern Africa).





You can continue e-mailing her if she interests you but don't involve money issues yet....Just tell her you do not have money and see if she still wants to keep in touch with you.
I honestly think you really know the answer to your own question but just want someone else to confirm it.





Just from the information you have provided it is clear to me that this is a scam. I would not send her any money, period. If she is being evasive you have a right to be concerned. I would chalk this one up as a lesson learned and move on.





Good luck!
you are being fair.this woman is a fraud.if you want to find otu more about her,how about you do a search on her.and if you dont want to do thatthen just tell her that you dont want to talk to her anymore because you dont no who she really is and you dont no if she is reling on her mother for everything.so tell her that and you might have a load off your chest
are you that desperate? this is a joke right?? do you have NO common sense?? don't give this woman money! if you do, you might as well go to the bank, close out your bank acct, savings acct whatever, go home stand over the toilet, throw it all in and flush... your question made me mad!! lol i didn't know people were so stupid!!!
Iam from Swaziland (AFRICA) and land and other wealth doesn't mean they have money. Example cows are wealth but is also a sacred animal so to us its a cow but is alot more to her/family, Land gets given to them by a chief or a royal so can worthless as they are not allowed to sell it. but medical is very expensive here so don't blow her off yet. she might be telling the truth
ha, ha, ha,.... Go ahead and send me a check after you send her one.
cmon, don;t buy into this. it is everyknown fraud.
You can never trust anyone just like that unless u no them to be sure that they will not turn on u if u no what i mean so i dont think you should be that concerned because its not your problem.
Keep e-mailing her if that is what you enjoy but if you send her any money you are a fool.The mere fact that she is asking a total stranger for money tells me that she has no class at all ,and she probably is a fraud.Keep that in mind when you send your next e-mail.
