Nigerian / African Romance scams

I'm not finding any younger women interested me through my two dating sites other than getting scammed by someone who admits to being in Nigeria and jerks me for money. Oh well, I should concentrate on my passions in life. Maybe love will find me on it's own.

You sound like a nice guy I' sure you'll find true love someday.

I'm sorry this has happened to you. It is a really cruel thing for someone to scam another person when their heart is involved. :(

Keep faith. There is a woman out there who will adore you.

Pasquali, I hope you realized it was a scam before you fell for it, right?

It can be so hard to wait. I've heard that love has a way of finding you when you least expect it and aren't looking. :p Hang in there, my friend.

Nigerian scams suck. When it happens, it hurts.

Oh well, I should concentrate on my passions in life. Maybe love will find me on it's own.


I think that is really the best thing to do. Love seems to happen when you are not looking for it. Good luck to you!

It's two days before Christmas, and you can't believe how happy and honored that all of you replied to me: Decent Hostess, Angel, Sheila4pd, Gypsy Rose and Whiterose. I'm grateful beyond words. Yes, Sheila, I did know that they were scams because their profiles in the particular dating service would indicate that they lived close by, but once chatting with them via Yahoo Messenger, I'd find that they were presently in Nigeria. Then, invariably, they'd come up with a sad story of how they were robbed, or something, and would I please wire them, via Western Union, $2,000! I might be love sick and lonely, but I'm not a fool. Thank you all for your supportive reply and may each of you have the happiest holidays ever....:grouphug:
