I just had two "chicks" contact me. One from a Match.com profile, and the other on a lesser know "dating" site.
I was just playing with it to see where it went, but didn't know it was a scam to this degree.
The two ID's they used are:
lovely_hariettgurl@yahoo.com
lizzy4love@yahoo.com
Why doesn't someone send a bunch of spam to these addresses? hehe
At least it would annoy them!
Anyhow the big reason that I was able to avoid it was the lizzy4love said she was sending me a money order... luckily I gave her a P.O. Box... and needed it cashed so she could get back to the U.S.
She claims to be a geologist finishing up a project in Africa, and needed to cash it to pay for her room etc.
Now, if that was all, and a bank actually cashed the thing, I probably would have been scammed too.
Then she asked if I could loan her some cash to pay for her room "it's just a small amount". Yeah.... I told her "I didn't just fall off the turnip truck honey. You could be a guy in Africa for all I know".
Boy, I didn't know how right I was!
She backed off and said "Okay, let me know when you get the money order cashed".
Later that same day.... the other chick, lovely_harrietgurl is rapping with me.... "ur really cute, blah blah blah". Now, she was supposedly a chick in Austin, TX. Then... "gotta get the phone"..... "just got terrible news from back home"...."mom called and said dad died in a plane crash".
Oh, that's terrible....
FLASH: lizzy4love is messaging me as I'm writing this... HAHAHA!!
anyway, so the voice in my head starts saying "what a coincidence... I'm chatting with this chick and she gets this news".... oh well, just a coincidence, right?
Then she says that she'll be gone for awhile, has to go back home.... understandable.... out of the country.... the little voice is saying "Wait a minute!!"
"Oh really, so where are you from again?"
--"Oh, didn't I tell you?"
"No.."
--"Nigeria"
BAM!!
That's when I knew these both were scams. I hadn't heard of this scam, as I'm brand new to YM, but I got lucky that I had two and two to put together.
ANyway, thought you all would enjoy this story.
Beware and spread these names around.
