   Could you please tell me the name of the girl who was buying Gemstones because I think it is happening to me. I just do not know what to think or do. And can you tell me where she said she was from? I will let you know if it is the same girl who I have been in contact with. Many thanks

   OMG!! It is happening to me as well. While I was reading your mail, I got pale and terrified and even though I had my doubts since the beginnning ( a month ago). This guy gave me a phone number from Seattle, Washington, and when I called I got a message voice that said the name he has given to me! However just couple of days we have talked, he said that he has to travel to England, then 2 days after she had to left UK to travel to Benin republic in Africa, when I checked the header from their email, they all came from Lagos, Nigeria. He sent me pictures, very small by the way, but he said his wife is dead and he doesnt have kids. He talked with my mom, with my daughter in the phone and in the chat. He said he loves me in the saem way you have written here. In this case his story was that he is an international contractor and he was competing for a public licitation in order a big project was granted to him. He sent me Certificates with his Company name, and copy of his COntract signed by Ministry of Works of Benin Republic!! So, I hope you can understand how easy I fall as an stupid!!Now he said there is a international tax is missing and he asked me to lend money in order to dont lose the Contract, he said he doesn’t even have money to pay the hotel where he is…Now, I m heart broken but he maybe didint know that I am broken more than anyone…I work hard for the money and to support my family …I just have know a bitter taste and a felling to being so stupid to believe in charming prince online.

   I almost got scammed. Met my dream guy on singlesnet. What a dream & a reality check that was. Ready!!! here goes.
   Answered 3 separate responses to my profile. One was divorced & two was widowed. All was with one child. the one with the daughter name was Fred Cole & daughter Rose. He was widowed for 8 years, very handsome and a beautiful 15yr old daughter ( the pics that were send ) he even send a pic of his supposedly deceased wife. started immediately calling me sweetie & his true love. started romancing me in about 4days, asked me to marry him in a week. He had a masters degree in marketing , supposedly & worked oversees a lot as a real estate developer. talked about meeting in 2weeks of dating on line. I then asked him for his personal info to do a check, he made the excuses why he couldn’t give me. Red flags popped up but I shoved them aside. The very next day of talking about meeting in person, a bid for a lucrative job in Africa/Negeria came through & he & his daughter Rose was on their way & would get in touch with me as soon as they arrived. 24hrs after the arrival email came with the name of the hotel they were staying. The poor supposedly daughter had a dilema; in the hurry she forget was to packed her ps3 & she was going to be so bored in the hotel when her father goes on the job site. Pleaded/begged to send her a ps3 & soccer games , because her father will not buy her another one. Nexy day I told her father that I just couldn’t afford the expense of the purchase & sending UPS ( $1ooo total ) so he made a bargain with me. His Nigerian driver told him that they could get one there for $465US, so it would be better & less expensive for me to just send the money for purchase. REd flags again which was shoved aside. Insisted that I send the money via Western Union to his driver name. I then insisted that I must send it to him or his daughter & not his driver. I send the money via MOney GRAM instead & converted it to Nigerian currency. told him of the transaction & informed him that his passport maybe needed for pickup. He definetly was not happy that I send it via MG & converted it to Negerian currency. Some thing kept poking @ me even after sending the money. Within an hr of sending the money a little voice told me to go on line & check the Hotel in Negeria, intended was to call to verify if a fred cole & rose cole were guests there. Immediately typing in the name of the hotel a site popped for internet love scams with the posted pics he send me, needless to say I think that I had a cardiac arrest & was immediately revived by unseen forces. I immediately contacted Money Gram told them about the scam & luckily I retreived my money. Apparently he had not planned on me sending the money via MG, in the name of fred cole , in nigerian currency & had to maybe present his passport to collect the money. That’s why he had wanted me to send it in his Negerian driver name. It took him time to figure out how to get the money, which worked in my favor.
   As to the other two responses; when “your future husband fred” wooed me , romanced me & proposed to me I told them that I wanted to ceased correspondence. Victor Zarnowski & son samuel/sammy was also in London working & Lewis Smith & son were in Nigeria working as a building contractor for 3 weeks. They still kept writing even after telling them that I wanted them to stopped. Found out that they were also scams, saw them & their supposedly sons on the scam site. Would you believe that Victor Zarnowski mistakenly send to my email a letter to a poor victim by the name of “JULIA” telling her of his undying love & of his just arrival in London with his son Sammy. A week before He had send me the same letter but saying that he was in Loindon doing a antique furniture show , he is suppose to be an Archietect & engineer but doing a furniture show. But to “JULIA” he had just arrived in London. TO Julia Please if you happen to see this,. this ia a scam. Lewis Smith & his son was asked by me for his personal info so that my detective relative could do a background check. Gave all the excuses why he could honor my request but kept proclaiming his undying love even after I requested him to stopped. I have now blocked these scam artists/criminals from from my line & informed tham that they have been reported. Well of course, didn’t hear from them again. These ruthless & heartless criminals have no remorse, they pray upon people vunerabilities & tragedies. I had just lost my dog of 10 & 1/2 years in a very bad way. But again there were so many red flags popping right & center in my face .
   I now am forced to remember something I learned/read a few years ago; OUR INSTINCTS/ GUT FEELINGS ARE OUR SECURITY GUARDS/SAFETY NETS & THEY ARE 99.99999999999% CORRECT. THEY ARE GIVEN TO US BY OUR CREATOR FREE OF CHARGE, THE ONLY TIME WE PAY DEARLY IS WHEN WE GO AGAINST THEM. DON’T EVER LEAVE THEM BEHIND, FOLLOW THEM WHEREVER THEY GO & OBEY THEM. THAT LESSON THAT I HAD PUT ASIDE FOR A WHILE HAS NOW COME BACK TO ROOSE & WILL STAY THERE THIS TIME.
   REMEMBER ; IF SOMETHING APPEARS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT ALMOST ALWAYS IS. THESE CROOKS GET PHOTOS OF OTHER PEOPLE FOR POSTING. 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES YOU WILL NEVER MEET THESE PEOPLE & THE ONE TIME YOU MAY MEET A PERSON , IT BECOMES VERY VERY DANGEROUS. THEIR ONLY UNDYING LOVE IS TO GIVE YOU A GOOD CLEANING OUT OF YOUR FINANCES & TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT VICTIM/S. YOUR HURT & PAIN MEANS ZERO TO THESE CRIMINALS/ CROOKS. I HOPE THAT BY POSTING THIS ABOUT MY ENCOUNTERS WILL @ LEAST HELP SOMEONE.

     i to was scammed. he came on myyearbook and showed me a pic of himself with this long message calling me beautiful and was single father.about a month afterward he had to goto belguim on a construction contract and would be gone 2 weeks then he would come bye and see me. then it took longer than thought. then couldnt cash his checks cause he wasnt citizen then wanted money  cause he didnt have enough to get him and his son home. which i stupidly did. i kept questioning him and he sweet talk me into belivinghim . i sent him money 2nd time so he could get son home . but supposedly their plane got detaned. and had to go back to nigeria. then sent me a fake check to cash. thank god it didnt go thru and told him to let family help him cause i couldnt anymore. thn supposedly got kicked out of hotel.  i told him he was scamming me and he acted like i was not wanting  to  be with him cause he was homeless. i ended up deleting him from computer and my life.  even though everyone told me to be careful i didnt listen . i went to love scams and a dr phil had  a show about love scams that fit my life for the last five months. thank god i went o this site and woke up from this stupidity of mine. thank god i didnt send anymore money and didnt get into trouble or anything. these scams hapopen to men and women who just want to be loved and no amount of money is worth it.

     Could you, please give me the website that you went on, where you saw their pictures? I am being scammed. I had a lot of red flags, but didn’t listen to my gut feelings.
