I’m sure glad my Russian girlfriend doesn’t scam
These are Nigerians - living in the United States. Scamming has to be a national product of Nigeria.
I wonder if they will be deported on finishing their sentences? They would not be too pleased on gracing Nigeria with their parasitic presence.
[fraud scheme that defrauded victims from the United States]
What about....oh, wait, the public face of that Nigerian fraud scheme is a Kenyan.
I know someone who had their mother scammed from someone from Guatamala.
Very similar story.
Jon Whipple, 60, from St. Petersburg, Florida, who was initially a victim of a similar romance fraud scheme, but later participated in the scheme by disseminating counterfeit checks in exchange for small amounts of money,
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They finally caught up with Mr. Whipple, that old reprobate that has a toilet paper squeezing fetish.
What is with all these whacky nigerians? Do they have fraud genes or something???

If anybody is familiar with this type of situation, please help me out here. A neighbor of mine who is 67 has been dating a man for 3 months. Something is just not right. He recently took her to her bank and opened up a joint account with her and he immediately deposited quite a bit of money, more than $50,000, he said to show her how much he trusts and loves her. She said he showed proof to the bank manager that he had over $1,000,000 in assets. I have tried to talk to her to get her to remove her name from that joint account by telling her that he could push through counterfeit checks and she would be on the hook for them if he bolted. She thinks she’s in love and I just don’t know what to tell her. Why would somebody open a joint account with a stranger that they barely know? What could he possibly be gaining and what could he do to hurt her by doing this?
Now, if one of the two were the vice-president of Nigeria, or a Nigerian Prince, I would see the logic in participating.....
