hi friends.... days ago, i received a letter on my mail from a 23 years old girl from a country( name is hidden due to privacy)... she told me that she has found my mail id somehow and intereseted to me even she saw my pictures too( i don't know where?). next to it.. she told me that she is in my love and want a serious relationship. she even said that "love never seeks religion, color, language, country". so she is interested.
i replied her asking where she got my details.. she was silent rather she began to speak her story that in a war she lost her parents and all relatives.. and now she is living in a refugee camp under a pastor's custody. her story is too long and she has no one of her own and so she need a reliable support and acoording to her it's me. ( my symathies are always with her)
she told that she has nearly 4 million dollar on her account from her father, which she wants to transfer to my account and requests to send some money to her so that she can buy air tickets and manage sufficiant documents to come to india to meet me. i am confused. why she have too much faith on me where as she does not know anything about me. so my question is what she really wants? can you help me for my next mail to her because i know that i am about to receive her next letter. any suggestion from you? waiting.... thanks in advance.

Shiby, listen to me very carefully here.
I am only going to say this once.
You stay away from her and you DO NOT mail her back again.
GOT IT??
Those are the kind that take men for suckers.
You will delete that mail from her and do me a favor.
CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS.
RIGHT NOW.
She is a player, my sweetie.
Stay away from her.
TATA.

Scam!Scam!Scam! As all your friends have told you!
This is a very common scam...but it's the first time that I've seen so much of interaction on a personal level. Usually the story comes in the first mail itself.
Why would someone who has millions of dollars want money from you for air tickets and documents?
Next time you get emails such as these, the best thing is to ignore and delete it.

Hello shibham,
I always ignore spam email. She is asking to transfer some money to her bank account, after you do that she is going to sit and laugh. I once got a spam message on my mobile phone, that i have won something and i am going to be rewarded fifteen thousand US dollars.
Where do they find phone numbers??

hi voldi.....
no. perhaps you have misread or i was unable to make you understood. actually, she is asking to transfer her money to my account. so this is the matter that i am unknown what she wants?
yes, once i also found some messeges in my phone no. but i am ignoring them all.
have a nice day.

Hiya shibham,
Really am sorry to sound such like a bucket of Ice Cold Water.
If she has so much money in her Bank Account like she says then why is she asking you for the Money for the tickets and all that?
Does not make sense to me. Because if she really had enough money she would not be in a Refugee Camp or asking you for Plane Tickets money.
Me for one would like you to meet a nice girl but this one sounds hmm well how can I say it.
Shibham I would not take her on. My husband get´s spam e-mails from Women like this too. The trouble is I scrap them all so I can´t show you any to prove it.
One last thing why does she want to put all that money into your bank account. Be very careful shibham she could lead you into problems I mean I am not saying she will but be very careful.
Could it be illegal money she has and is trying to "launder" it?
I hope I am wrong and this is none of my business what you do but you have asked us all what we think. Sorry shibham that is what I think.

hi angel. i think that u have read waht she wrote about the transfer of money. she wrote..."So i will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it you can send some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket to come over to meet with you."
yes, that is an enigma for me that why she wants to transfer all those money? are she really coming to india which seems impossible at this moment where she has nobody there to help her out. it may be a sum of illegal money as u have said which may lead me to danger.
no need to say sorry. i understand all these. have a nice day.

Hiya shibham,
Like I told you before I have trashed several mails of this kind in my Husbands e-mail box. They say more or less the same thing now they go straight to the trash bin in the e-mail.
That´s why you have to be so careful I think you will be wise and careful.
You have a nice weekend too take care now.

shi... I am shocked to read this, are you really falling into the trick?
you said "she wants to transfer to my account and requests to send some money to her so that she can buy air tickets and manage sufficiant documents to come to india to meet me."
Getting money is her main purpose. We have many types of similar emails here, some from as far away as Africa. Can you believe it?
Good thing you posted this here and make more people aware of this. I hope you have read all the responses here before you do anything with her.

hi moon....
at first i though that i have fallen but later i begin to play the game as them but now i have marked all those messages as spam as i have received an another mail from a separate girl with same description. same place,same computer, same refugee camp...
both messages came from senegal but in news i have not found that any war took place in senegal.
yes, i have read all the responses and if this discussion helps someone here, then that will be my ultimate cause to be happy.
have a nice day.

hi shi....
I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that! To think you were targeted twice! Yes, I have heard about scams like that from Senegal or maybe another African country.
Be on alert always!

I also received such e-mails, not only one,multiple e-mails from different people. I think these spams,or the people who sent these e-mails got the addresses on chatting sites. [I do have accounts on different social networking sites,]good thing there's privacy in some sites now, [and I learned my lessons already,no sharing of info or e-mail add.]I even received an e-mail about this guy who would want to meet me somewhere and have some coffee,marry then have a baby,hahaha!does this ring a bell?
this person by the way was caught by the police and was deported to his country.So I would suggest that you should not believe to people who sent spams or e-mails like this,they would just fool you and get your money.

Hi there please do not fall for it! this person only want your money believe me... I happen to know someone who spent over 40 thousand dollars in such a scheme. Actually it sounds very much the same as the letter he got...first he send her 1 thousand dollars and then she needed more because she was capture by some enemies so she needed to pay them for her release...so more money was sent and so on at the end this person [ my friend son] had to borrow money from his mother,sister, and brother to be able to pay his rent! please do not fall for this scam.

have a nice day.

First of she said that she in a refugee camp. If she in refugee camp how she manages to have a computer? How come she being a refugee has so much money- USD 4 million? With USD 4 million she can buy a citizenship in a developing country. If she has 4 million, why she still need your money to buy air ticket? If she can come out of the camp to buy air ticket she can go to the bank to withdraw money for the ticket. Why don't you fly to meet her outside the camp instead? Isn't a better option? Every thing seems so fishy. It is definitely a scam. She is a cheat. Hence, don't respond at out.

Yes you are right... but I don't think she is a she... I think is a him my friend got a picture of [her] taken in a refugee camp... is a girl all right! but she looks like a tramp! now I ask myself who in the right mind[if it is a girl]would send a picture like that?...and how come[ she] can have a camera in a refugee camp?

and you believe that's for real? probably, she's just taunting you... when something is too good to be true, it probably is not true...

this is very strange. are you sure she doesnt want your bank account to find a way to take money from there to her? bcs when you asked her where she found your email she didnt tell you. dont trust this person please. also she told you a very sad story so you will trust her and maybe she can steal money from your account. maybe is not like this but is strange that she didnt tell you the site also she asked you already to transfer money? even she says is her money how you know that in that account there is 4 million? dont trust her.

hi sweet....
who knows? but according to her speech she was not looking for my account rather she wanted to share her account and you know last night she gave me all of her account details. but i think all are fake.
may be she did not speak to me, but i have discovered that site.someone created a profile using my email id.
yeah, no chance to trust her anymore.
have a nice day.

Be so careful my friend. It sounds like spam to me too. There is always someone out there that will try to pull at your heart strings and get what they want. The 4 million dollars is an alert for me..but you even said yourself that she wants your support. Not knowing her....you can't promise her that. Please don't get involved with this..you are treading on very dangerous ground here with your identity and livlihood.

hahaha.... same voice. i have already marked them as spam. its a big alert, its not easy to accept that a girl wishes to give her all amount of money to a stranger only for life support. i have not promised her and after seeing her picture i have no intention to create a relationship either.. hahaha.. just kidding.
thanks that i have recovered myself from that dangerous ground. have a nice day.

Don't take this kind of email seriously. It's Spam. Even I receives this kind of email and majority of my colleagues as well. So for your own safe, ignore her (or him, or who ever is pretending to be someone she's not. If you want to continue with your communication you may do so but do not disclose any bank details or give any money. I'm sure she will definitely ask for your bank details later on.

It is a scam. Do not believe her. She is only trying to take you for a ride, be very careful of such mails, It must have originated either from Nigeria or Ghana if I have not mistaken.
