To what end?

I have jobs that barely pay my own way, and I would never "rely upon the kindness of strangers" to help me, especially to buy a new car, or something of material value, especially based upon a lie.

You didn't grow up in a culture that encourage scams and in which you have to resort to crime to make a living.

There are just cultures out there where the family business is crime. Whether you call it the Mafia, the Travellers (Lucht siúil), the Gypsies (Romani)... it's all about finding ways to get other people's money into your hands.

I get at least one email from a Nigerian prince per week asking me to help them transfer millions of dollars from their family fortune. They've chosen me to help them. I'm honored! And all they need is my bank account number to complete the transfer. ](*,)
 
I haven't heard from him in nearly five days now, so whatever it was that I thought we had is over.

Maybe he was a scammer and grew a conscious over the weekend.

Who knows?

Was there a little hurt on my end of things? Yeah, but I'm more than ready to move on!

Thanks for the support y'all. :kiss: (*8*)
 
I just realized that all of the pictures that this guy had been sending me over the past several weeks, wasn't of him at all.

It was some guy that this guy had scammed in sharing pictures with him, and he took this guy's identity.

My gawd! How effed up is that? :cry:

:grrr:
 
^^ rather normal these days, if you ask me.
 
The one big warning sign is if they look abnormally hot in their pictures. Why would someone that good looking need to be online to find a date??? It's because....it's not their picture!! (Not all the time though, of course)
 
I got three emails from him today.

Apparently he was mugged, beaten, and robbed Sunday afternoon, and spent the past three days in the hospital "going crazy" that he couldn't contact me.

I pressed him for a reason.

He says that his childhood friend asked him to "run an errand" with him.

When they left a group of "seven or eight" guys approached his friend for money that he apparently owed them, and started beating him.

And that when he tried to stop them from beating his friend, they started beating him, took his phone, his wallet, and other "valuables"

He woke up in the hospital Monday morning, not knowing how he got there.

I know. I KNOW! :rolleyes:

There's a part of me that wants to ride this wave, and see if I land safely on the sand.

There's another part of me that doesn't see the safety of a beach, but just jagged rocks ahead.

How can I turn someone away who hasn't tried to guilt trip me into sending money, and still continues to contact with me after I've already told him that I have nothing to give?

Well, its your choice. Ultimately, as long as you don't give him money, you can go on with this. If the people here are right, then it will just be a waste of your time.
 
I'm a cynical, jaded prick. So take what I say with a bit of salt.

It's part of the game. The best con artists can string the prey along for quite sometime then spring the trap.

You have that little voice inside you telling you what to do - listen to it.

Unless you have other voices, in which case I can't tell you which one to listen to.
 
holy crap tx, did I not just PM you it's not like he's told you of some crazy emergency. and here I check your thread? do I have a crystal ball or what ;)
 
Not to be rude or anything but dude, I could tell this was a scam after reading the thread title and then getting to the word 'Nigeria' in your first post.

Why are you wasting your time with this?
 
THIS IS 1000000000% SCAM!!!!!

First of all, it is too much drama to be even real?!?!! I mean, what kinda f-uped life this guy has? He should write a biography and make money from that! There is only one Augusten Burroughs! So many things happened in such short period of time, it is too dramatic. It's fictional!!!!

And Nigeria - it is even known on Craigslist that almost ALL SCAMS INVOLVES MONEY SENT TO somewhere in Nigeria. In fact, you should already read the tips from Craigslist regarding to scams!

WAKE-UP!!! IT IS A SCAM!!! I am speaking from my own experience (from Craigslist apartment search), and THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!!

I am WARNING YOU! STOP ALL CONTACT WITH THIS SCAMMER! You don't want to waste any more time with this BS.

Oh, dear. You haven't got used to situations like this, have you?
Here in my country both prostitution and stealing photos from other guys are quite normal things nowadays... ](*,)
 
This is a nigerian scam. FULL STOP! NO BUTS!!
If his mother has hight blood pressure why doesnt he fly her over to the Uk and buy her some tablets.

I totally agree with that!

So we've proceeded, amidst the drama of him being mugged and losing his cellphone in the process, and wanting so desperately to be with me before Christmas, to the point that he's actually gone out and found a job waiting tables, that he now wants me to share in the expense of paying half of his airfare to get here.

:gogirl:

I'm not sending this guy one red dime!

Of course I shared with him my own financial problems, and personal conflicts and given him all the reasons why it's just not possible for me to help, because I want to have every available means of looking after us when he gets here (IOW, that's my way of meeting him half way), that I can possibly afford.

I haven't heard from him in nearly three days. :rolleyes:

If I hear from him at all, it will be some blah, blah, blah.

I'm still kinda holding out that this guy might be legit, but honestly I'm not holding my breath. :cool:
