I am also a soon to be divorced female and met a male online claiming to live in TX and told me that he went to Africa, (Nigeria) for a business trip. I had no idea that people were scamming Americans from these countries. I have been chatting with him and he gave me his number and I sometimes talk with him. He has asked me for money several times and told me he lost his passport and needs to come back to the USA.
Believe it or not, have gained feelings for this man from the beautiful emails and poetry he has sent me over the past month or so. I thought something wasnt right because he told me he would be here soon, but something always came up and he couldnt get here. I then researched the website and found that there were Nigerian and Russian scammers out there. I am sure others as well.
Be careful who you talk to on these internet dating websites. If they claim to be out of the country on business and then ask for money, odds are they are just scamming you.
I am lucky that all I lost was my dignity and not my bank account. I sure hope you do the same...
