I am very new to this site. I am not a native English speaker. I am from Brazil. I want to tell my story because I was a victim of a guy I met in the internet. This site and the stories I read from here helped me to be sure that this guy wanted to extort money from me.
I met this person on tangowire (http://italiansinglesonline.com/Browse/ ... ugarbanana). He told me his name is Frederick Edwards and lives in Claymont, Delaware. He said he had to travel to Nigeria because he had a business contract awarded. Then after a week, he said he lost his wallet there with his money and credit cards. He is begging me to send money to him to pay the hotel bills, because the manager seize his passaport. I asked what he was doing in Nigeria and he answered he was a Engineer working for Oil Rigs. He send me his data to send money to him (Name: Frederick Edwards, Address: 40 Standard International Hotel, City: Ikeja, State: Lagos, Zipcode: 23401, Country: Nigeria, phone number: +2347055221438, e-mail adress: sugargate22@yahoo.com). I said he is begging me because I am supposed to send money to him tomorrow (3/11/08).
I think this situation very strange because he is saying he loves me without knowing me and he is begging me to trust him and lean some money. He always called me babe, sweetheart, honey and things like that. He also told me he lost his parents and he has no relatives at all. As I told before, I am not a native speaker of English, but we spoke once on the phone, today morning to be precise, and I thought his accent was not from the USA. It seemed a local speaker.
Ladies, be careful with this guy!
Below there is a message of him asking for money.
My love................?

Hi baby,
Nice to read from you as always.Glad your trip was okay.Did u buy me anything nice..? The weather here is not good as well.Pretty hot here and can't wear suits.I haven't found any help baby which means i can no longer come over.That isn't what is bothering me but for the fact that i am still owing hotel bills and the Manager threatened to throw me out this weekend and also seize my passport till i pay up.I really do not know what to do now baby.I am fed up and could commit suicide if i do not get any help soon.
I really need help baby,can't continue with my work and that means i will be staying longer here.I can't even eat good food,been living from hand to mouth baby............Sometimes i feel bad about this trip but i know there is light at the end of every dark tunnel...........I will definitely find help.
I would have asked that u lend me some money and i would refund even with interest but i don't wanna bother you or be a burden and besides i would be very ashamed asking you for financial help because i know you should be the one to run to me if you need help but i really need help.If i do not get $800 by the end of this week,then i am a dead man baby.I am sorry telling you all these because i know i am not supposed to bore you with it.Anyways,i gotta run now..Can't afford to pay for another hour here baby..Talk to you later.Always remember your King is out here waiting for you.
Thinking of you always
--Fred

I would like to know if I can attach the photos this guy is using and how to do that.
Thank you!
