Online Dating - Wake Up!
Many people will recognise the Nigerian emails that claim to have millions of dollars in a account and they need someone they can trust to transfer this money to. Unfortunately there is always the matter of the transfer which has to be funded first and this is usually in excess of $10,000. This is what they request from YOU. The same people who produce these also target internet dating sites. The whole scam is termed under '419', which is the number in the Nigerian penal code for obtaining money by deception and fraud. These 419 scammers are hard at work everynight in internet cafes in countries far away. Both men and women are targeted and the story is usually one of sadness and woe but they can always pay you back. Here is a real example: 'Can you be of help to me with a little favour. I have been here a while and during this time i have been forced to use my Visa to resolve some problems concerning this project & "stay alive" so to speak. I know everyone can identify with maxing out the VISA to get. Unfortunately, I have had to use mine. Had i known i was going to be here this long i would have planned things better but like i said, these kinds of projects constantly change. Sometimes they end early. I know that i have only known you a short time but, hopefully, I have shown you enough about myself that you will listen to what I am about to ask. Things that come up unexpectedly and need someone in their life to help them along a little. I have always believed that whats goes around, comes around and i have always been there for my friends in time of need. I have this little problem now. I'm all set to travel back to (the) UK next week as i have planned my flight reservation, but i have this little problem. I have used my VISA card for expenses and now i am finding myself unable to meet up with the luggage fee. Would you be able to "loan" me a small amount of money? I realize you may feel a little unsettled about this request, but i believe that if you help someone only good comes back to you. This will be purely a short term loan and i hope you will be so kind to understand my situation and help me where you can. I plan to pay you back as soon as i get back'. The first thing to check is in properties on your email to see where the email originates from. Next, the verb construction and the syntax are clumsy with too many verbs. This has probably been translated in to English by Google or Babelfish on the web. Now, you could suggest that this kind of occurence could be genuine? Well, yes it could. But does someone not have friends and relatives they could turn to first before a virtual stranger on the internet? Don't arrange a date for coffee. Wake up and smell the coffee!
