this is good....reading..

i was a victim of a scam.

i was talking to someone from match.com

for about 3 weeks.. it was weird because it was
all peom stuff. and i love you and worship you..but it was not real conversation as in what they did.

something like going to a bar and the woman talking from a book to me....

so here is the scam..

i met a girl through match.com
her profile was for leicester, uk then it turns out she live in south africa. so i just play along. in a few weeks it her birthday so i know what is coming. i bet she going to ask me for money. so one week after her birthday i get this message
"Hi darling, I hope you are well.. I have just received a letter from my ISP informing me that my internet connection will expire in two days. I am confused as to how to raise the money as they normally require me to make a payment of 6months once off. I do not want to discuss this with my mum because i understand how poor her finance has been lately and she spent a lot of money for my birthday, that is why i have decided to let you know about it to see if you would be able to assist me with whatever amount you can.. I need to pay a total of 342pounds approximately. I am not asking you to give me everything but like i said, whatever amount you can afford will go a long way.. I hope you will email me soon to let me know what you think.. I love you. xx Portia. xx"


this is the reply i got when i basically said no.

"Don't call me a fool Ian, if you don't want to help me.. you can just say it.. and i won't hold it against you.. There are a million and one things i could ask you money for.. if my internet connection was as cheap as 300rands monthly i wont have asked you for 3,420rands. I am not stupid and i won't trade my love for you for money. I feel really bad to have asked you for money"
i think with all scammers who don't give you there telphone number or facebook account. and the images they send you are from 30k to 60 k in size and look like facebook files. hijacked from someones account including holiday pics and birthdays.
so be careful...ian )
