A friend of mine joined one of those online dating sites to meet a fellow

Tweet

She was only on there a few days and had some guys contact her but after a few days she for one reason or another didn't think they would be for her. Then one day she receives a really nice message from a fellow who even put up a photo of himself and his newphew and told her he was an Engineer working at Toyota in a city in her State at a Military Base helping them on a project. She was very impressed with him and they continued to write back and forth (up to this point all the writing was done on the site) well he asked for her email address and she gave it to him and after a while he said he would like to talk on the phone with her. Oh did I tell you he said he had an accent and was from I think it was Brussels. To continue on she gave him her phone number and they did talk but she could barely understand what he was saying anyway they continued to write. She keep trying to set up a meeting at a mall or coffee shop but he always had an excuse not to be able to go there then one time he said they could meet at a coffee shop. When the day came for them to meet he emailed and said he had been called out of the Country and would she marry him when he came back. At one point he said he wanted to send her some jewelry but she told him no she doesn't wear jewelry. He said where he was going he wouldn't be able to email or call much. Well when he did email it was like someone else was writing to her and she became suspicious of this and asked me if I could find out where his emails were coming from. I did and found out other things also like he was in Nigera and a part of a scam group trying to extort money from women online. The jewelrly was also part of the scam as he would have told her he didn't have enough money with him to send it to her so good she declined the jewelrly. The number he had called her from was from a number that had been hacked into previously. She stopped writing to him and one day he called her screaming why wasn't she answering his emails and she told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever tried to contact her again she was calling the authorities. She never did hear from him again. The moral of this story is be aware Ladies of Guys wanting to much information about you.
