Is this your scammer? http://www.romancescam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19104&p=131234

It is unlikely he will do anything, basically you have rumbled him so he will move on to the next potential victim and not give you a second thought.

Very well done on the weight loss and please don’t give up on online dating, just choose your site carefully, spend time communicating through the site before you move to personal email address or phone and investigate anyone you talk to so you know who they are before you get too involved.

Don’t feel humiliated, these people know what they are doing … they do it for a living. Learn from the experience and use it to detect warning signs in the future.

@Linda – Really sorry to hear your story.

A black haired parent and blonde child is not a clear indication of a scammer but the other details you provided all point to a scam.

I have removed the bank details from your comment as these will not help anyone if they are contacted by this person or persons.

Well done on spotting the scam before you sent money.

I’ve checked my email account and nothing from you. My blog records email addresses but I never use them without permission .. as you have asked me to respond to your email I will take that as permission and email you directly.

Many thanks for your help with this (husband and Nigerian woman). I guess I feel a little bitter because in the 18 years of marriage he always promised to be here for me and even though we had issues in the years, no mention that this could be an open marriage. So imagine my surprise when I realized this was happening. I wish him the best because he is a good person, but I don’t think someone you meet on-line can really live up to what your image of wonderful is. Especially when you were only with them for one week. He has now become deceptive and almost arrogant. And that is not the man I married. Once I situate myself, I will give him his divorce and maybe the truth will come to light or maybe they are meant for each other after all (wink). Meanwhile my daughter and I have re-shuffle our lives. This lady asked him to come down at Christmas for the holidays. Forget about me, but he also has a daughter and I think this was a selfish act. I asked him not to go at Christmas, so instead he left for Nigeria yesterday for 11 days. Even though my daughter and I will be gone at the beginning of February, he chose to leave instead of spend the remaining time with her. We have a little issue with that. He says he loves us very much. And I just can’t forget this 18K ring (which he is still lying about) and the hotel bill he has to pay since his work cancelled the trip. Especially when our account doesn’t have alot of money in it anyway. I can forgive, but can’t forget this. Not after 18 years of commitment. Please reply to my email if possible and will supply details of what I have on this woman. Sorry, I can’t find the contact form. Again thank you so much for your previous reply.

What sort of sites have you been joining (eg Match were sold and the scammer level has exploded on their site, the new owners just couldn’t give a monkeys, are you joining free or paid sites, do you go in to forums and chat rooms … so many reasons you might be meeting scammers)? Online dating does work (a couple just deleted their profiles on my site today because they are sure they no longer need our services woohoo) but of course it depends how you go about it and how carefully you choose a site.

Try picking one which only accepts members from the UK (because scammers do exist in UK but not at the levels they do abroad) and test out the admin … are they actually moderating the site? If they are then the chances are the scammers will be much thinner on the ground.

Don’t give up .. she’s out there.
