09/28 Love Scams?

Quote From: hpfldrgn

Dear Dee-Dee:

 

Hello, my name is Michelle. I just wanted to share with you some of the contacts I have had with individuals from Nigeria. Several people claimed they are heirs to millions of dollars and wanted me to open an account for them in the United States. I would receive several hundred thousand dollars in compensation for this transaction. The propositions were sent to my email address.

 

In addition, I received several offers to purchase a couple vehicles that I had for sale on craigslist.com. The buyers were from Nigeria and wanted to send me a cashier's check for $3,000.00 for $500.00 cars. I was told to cash the check and send the remaining money with the person who picked up the cars.  I was sent  a cashier's check for $2,500.00 for one car and it was fake. I called the Secret Service and they informed me that if I had cashed the fake check, I would have gone to jail.

 

I do not know much about your situation, but please realize there are a lot of scams out there!!!

 

Sincerely,

Michelle 

These are two of the oldest scams in the book. Have some fun and tell the car buyers you will be happy to do that, but you'll have to hold the check for 30-45 days to clear. And for the wealthy foreigner, tell them you'll be happy to deposit a check into a U.S. escrow company for the funds to be verified.

Dee-Dee,

 

I believe I have been taken advantage as well! I believe its the same man! This guy tells me his name is

Terry Alexandra. Terry was really from Ireland where his mother and son is there. Terry left to go to Nigeria to work for a company called Trinity gas company. Terry told me he was the superivisor over this crew of men. Terry also stated he made a mistake and paid his men first before paying his self and then he had no money for his hotel or food. Now I meet him on the yahoo messenger back in Feburary this year. We have talked for a long time now. I was never ask for money to help him to much time later that we will talking. But Terry wanted money for hotel and travel to get to the nearest airport to get to the states. Yes, to be with me and my girls because he really love me. Now he spoke good English and typed well. I did send him money to travel then he stated he was robbed by some people who shot the driver and he was in the hospital (terry) for few days. The doctors spoke with me too and told me his conditions. Terry did get on the internet at the hospital , he stated. Terry would tell me that he could leave the hospital to go to the airport until the bills there were paid first and he had no money. So yes.......I sent the money but, before I did I sent another guy over to check on him that I talked with in Nigeria. Donald Briggs was his name and he also took advantage of me too. (you think I would have learned by him) Donald told me he did see him in the hospital and Terry was really hurt.......near death. Which Terry told me days after that he was faking when Donald came in because he didn't know who he was. Donald claimed that doctors took him as Terry's next of kin so they took $400.00 of his money and paid Terry's bill. Terry confirmed that to me that day too. Terry said he over heard the doctor and Donald talking about the bills there. When Donald was trying to tell the doctors that he didn't know Terry he was only there for a friend (me) to see how he was doing. Well Donald went back to Nigeria now broke. Terry got some money from me to finish out the hospital bills and traveled to Ghana. Which he is there now, though he says. I sent him money to get food and a flight ticket and he claimed that the employees at the immgration sold him a fake ticket and that was all the money he had. So he went to hire an attorney to get the ticket back. Terry states he made a deal with the attorney that he would give some money now to pay his fees to represent him in court and send rest when home in the states. So I sent money for the attorney! Terry claims now the court has the employees locked up but it is going to cost $700.00 to pay for the clearance of the courts. Terry now wants me to send $700.00 and now hotel bill of $400.00 to get him on the flight to me. I just seen this on dr. phil and now put it all together on this Terry Alexandra. I started searching the my space and found the same picture he sent me and plus the picture you showed on dr.phil.
I did question Terry of this site and he stated that someone is using his picture to take advantage of people and he tried to contact Tom on my space to have it removed. But now this on dr. phil .........I know now I have been used and abused.

I wish I could face this man face to face and beat him to his knees for this. There has got to be some way to get revenege and stop these men from doing this to anyone else? I don't know but I hate I of all woman fell for this! I'm so ashame.

Now I like to focus on pay back some how, some way! Thing is I just found out today so my words may be hard to understand on this email because so upset and not proof reading it.
