a widower with a daughter, and a civil engineer
This is very common with scammers.

he said he
was having to go to Nigeria as he had a project building a 70k road.
Anytime someone has to go to Nigeria it is a scam.
Quote:
The other day he called frantic
that his daughter had a terrible accident on the job site. He asked for money in the thousands.
Another thing that seems to happen with scammers. I am glad you were able to find out he is a scammer and that you did not send money.
Please be sure to tell your family and friends about scammers and how they can protect themselve. Also you may want to sign the petition Shawn started for Scam awareness and education. You can find the link in her siggy.
