First of all, please let me explain something. I met a woman on a social networking website recently who (after having many women try to scam me on there and she didn't) is genuine in what she says. Anyway, she's from Darwin Australia originally, but about six months ago went to Nigeria to help her grandma because she was very sick at the time. She has gradually had to sell off all her dresses and clothes except for 2, her other belongings etc, because the only "work" people would offer her for money was basically becoming a prostitute and she didn't want that, because she is a Christian. She has basically been living in poverty for the past 4 months. When she told me this, I decided to start trying to help her financially, ultimately with the goal of getting her back to Australia and getting her a job and a place to live. It has been a huge burden on me, but I kept going because I knew that if I stopped, she would starve to death, and I don't want that on my conscience. I need to get enough money so that I can get her a ticket home, but after paying my bills now I have next-to no money. To complicate matters, her passport expires at the end of next month (October), so if I can't get her back to Australia by then she will die a slow and horrible death from starvation. Please, I beg anyone reading this, please help me. I don't want to see her die and know I was the cause because I couldn't get enough money for the ticket. I do appreciate all of you, and if you choose not to or you can't, I understand, but I would greatly appreciate any help that any of you could offer me. If I can get enough to get the ticket back to Australia, once she's settled in I'll post a photo on here of me with her, along with a message from her. Please, if you can spare something, let me know. I truly appreciate any help, and if it's ok, once she is safely back in Australia, I will send each of you a thank-you present with a thank-you that comes from the bottom of my heart. My email is accountant_4_Jesus@me.com. Please send me an email there if you might be able to help. And thank you once again for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance to anyone who decides they can help.

You seem like a nice guy... but are you being serious here? dioneta Sep 23, 18:17

are you being serious? because if so, i have to say i am worried about you. now you might not want to hear this from me, but I am sure.... islander Sep 23, 18:20

I understand your concern, but just hear me out, ok? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 23, 19:23

Sorry, it didn't post my internal message. I'll try again... {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 23, 19:23

I second all of that. Get someone else involved, stet. {nm} Jane_Citizen Sep 23, 19:29

Ok, I'll get in contact with someone then. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Sep 23, 19:37

Ok, I'm emailing the Australian High Commission in Nigeria to check up on her. accountant_4_Jesus Sep 23, 20:05

You seriously need to watch Dateline more often. Chris Hansen did an undercover about this very thing, complete with the Nigeria angle. {nm} HarryWarden Sep 25, 18:21

Watch this and then run, not walk, in the opposite direction HarryWarden Sep 25, 18:25

Emailing you some advice {nm} Jane_Citizen Sep 23, 19:28

Brother, I am a person of faith. You need to check out similar stories and see if they are similar, I hope I can speak for most of the HSX {nm} damenchipguy Sep 23, 20:12

My message did not post, I will say that most posters are fond of you; the tell-tell sign of a scam is the urgancy. Talk to friends/family/p damenchipguy Sep 24, 08:06

Jeesh....I get 20 emails a day with stories like that. It is all bull****. If you have sent money to her, Sorry. It is down the tubes. mrbinns Sep 24, 05:19

Do you have a follow up report? We worry...what is the SITREP? {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 25, 20:32

You NEED to read this and compare: http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/content/index.phtml/tag/DatingRomanceScams {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 25, 20:37

yes, what all the others said, incl. that if she was truly starving, she'd not be online. To get online you need to have a laptop or to have Facto Sep 27, 05:36
