Nigerian Scammer Succeeds in Lady Lake
 

In this day and age, it's difficult to comprehend that some people still fall for this. I wonder if it is driven by loneliness. Regardless it is very sad for the victims.

From the other News site:

A Lady Lake woman sent $5,000 to a man she met online, but when she cut him off, he threatened to post naked photos of her.

The 57-year-old woman contacted Lady Lake police on Oct. 18 to report that she had been scammed by the man she met in June or July on Facebook. He later told her that he had a sick daughter and needed money.

The woman went on Sept. 3 to Wal-Mart and sent a $500 money gram to a Wal-Mart in Nigeria, as the man instructed her to do. Over the next two weeks, she continued to send money grams and iTunes cards to him. She sent him a total of $5,000, according to an incident report from the Lady Lake Police Department.

When the Massachusetts native became suspicious of the man, she stopped sending him money. He threatened to send out naked photos of her that she had sent to him.

The woman showed police a certificate with her name and the man’s name that purported to show that together they owned $13 million in crude oil.

Police told her the certificate was probably fake and that she had been the victim of a Nigerian scam.

When will people learn

She is how old ......... and sending naked pictures of herself!

:shocked: "PROBABLY" ???????

It is unfortunate that this lonely lady was not as intelligent as you posters here.

I had the same thought.

If I sent naked pictures of myself to almost anyone they would send me five thousand bucks to stop.

Post #9051 on the NOTHING thread is appropriate at this point and funny too! Same for me Mrs. GraceGirl! Maybe $50K!

Same here! Just listened to the song linked on #9051 on the NOTHING thread -- very funny.


Cracked up at the lyrics especially:

"I'm a deep-fried, double-wide version of the man I was before ..."

Cut her a break
 

This happens to frequently but this woman like many others has been scammed she hopefully won’t see the rude comments about her falling victim to a scam that’s being done to many people around the world.

Yes, ask for naked pictures and then use them to blackmail. For a “sick” daughter.

Although she is likely far from the brightest bulb on the tree she is/was no doubt desperately lonely and she is not alone (pardon the weak pun) in that position. At least she did not become a "milk bottle" and pick up a STD or three. Sex tourism: Meet the middle-aged, middle-class women who are Britain's female sex tourists | Daily Mail Online
