Hi to everyone,
I am Ann, and I am presently in a whirlwind situation with a man in Nigeria who claimed to be the person of ENGR. SMITH BENSON, his working as a contructor, servicing and constructing oil pipes in the Delta region.
He tells me he owns the construction company. I met him at the website of BEARSHARE under the name SMITH4U6...and using an email add. [email protected].
We had this whirlwind relationship for about a month and in the course of our relationship, I have manage to send him 850USD to pay the travel agency his Visa processing in coming to my country. For the reason that in his line of work he can't just go onshore anytime...he already spent 7 months in nigeria and his contract will finish this June 2009. He reason to me that due to the tight security of the area they are not allowed to just be anywhere except in the rig area of their work.
In our relationship...he was always sounding true and just like a man inlove...we would communicate before he goes to work...after his work...and before he goes to bed...his 8 hours advance in time from my point.
Just this week everything was finalized for his trip here in Canada...his flight #KLO588, booking code ZIVK65. He has to leave Murtala Mohammed Airport 9:30 in the evening Monday and will arrived 8:40 in the morning Tuesday here in Vancouver. BUt what a twist of faith...on his way to the airport he met a vehicular accident and hit a pedestrian named Victoria EZE, which was hospitalized due to her injuries.
Around 1 am Feb.10, i recieved a call from a Nigerian Police named Inspector William Abey, informing me that my husband had an accident and they are forwarding the report to my email. At first i thought it was just a joke but at around 4 am i received again another call telling me that i have to call back because my husband needs me...they're that i went panic..but i can't do anything because at that time im in my work and cannot do anything except to wait for my off.
When I arrived home i openned my email and their was the Police report from Enugu Police Station stating the case of the accident...I called the number the Inspector have assigned for me to contact...only to find out that it was the same number Smith has given me before to contact him. In short we have talked and i can feel that his also devastated by what happened...i was supposed to pick him up in the airport that day if things did not go wrong.
His telling me his sorry and all his things were taken from him including his money. When i talked to the inspector he told me that as a wife all i can do is to send 500 hundred US dollars to bail my husband...
Several times did I convinced Smith to call his friends in Nigeria to help him out but he kept on telling me that he can't let them involve in his problems because its not in line with their business. I don't know what kind of theory was that...
In our short time in the net...I come to love the person in the picture and the thoughts that would chat with me every time...
Every time I call the jail...i don't know what to say but cry to him...begging him that if its one of the scam in Nigeria then he has to end it with me because im not rich and he can't get anything from me anymore...but im deeply involved with the man i thought is SMITH BENSON...
I am reading alot of scam from Nigeria and U.K... and by the way he calimed to be from U.K...and i am afraid i have fallen for one...its not about the money involved but for me its more of the emotional betrayal that's the hardest to overcome...
I don't know how can you help me to know the truth...because until then it seems that there will always be question in my mind about this whole thing.
Im planning to cut evry communication with him...but at the back of my mind how about if after all he is true and not a scam...then I can't forgive myself...
Please help me...
Sincerely,
Ann
