Hey Bryon,
Here's the info on this "gal":
Name : Alyssa Lahra John
Country : Nigeria
State : Lagos
Zip code : 23401
That was the info she gave for the Western Union request. She emailed me initially with this:
Lahra John <
[email protected] >
Her initial email is here:
Good Morning dear,

and wanted to say Hi. Well, i'm looking for a relationship and Can you

that we can see what the future can bring for the both of us
Lahra.

I replied, and then her next email was:
Hello ,
Thanks for the email and it was nice hearing from you, i am surprise you got me back.. and i would really like to get to know you better ,but i don't always get on line to chat and am not so good at phone cos as the first time i just don't know what to say, but i always update my private Google mail account,well we both know a little from our profile so i think we can go this way and see what we have in common ....I believe getting to know someone 1st.. That friendships are built. They are built from a strong foundation 1st, and then they continue to grow from there. Yes, it takes Times, there is give, and take involved. I believe in open communication, standing in our truth, being honest, and having integrity. Honoring and respecting each other is high on my list. I treat people the way I like to be treated. I believe what comes around goes around. I am a very compassionate person. I am in no rush, I think it's very important to take the time to get to know someone. That is what builds true friendships. Quality friendships,let me know what you think.I will try in writing you more about me and i will be looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Am looking for a man that will be able to listen to me , communicate his feelings to me , make me laugh, hold and comfort me in need,stand by my side, respect me, passionate lover in every way, support me in every way, love me and only me, make me smile, protect me when needed, romantic time to time ,constantly reactive, and treat me right, I know you will think what is a pretty lady like me doing on here .. Yes the
reason I came on to the internet to find the special person who deserves all the love and passion that makes up my heart and soul is because I do not have the time to meet others out in a public setting, and the fact I feel you can learn so much about someone through letters, as a person has to take there time and think about the words they want to express, so it allows you to gain a better understanding of someone than you would probably otherwise.
As far as i dislikes.I don't like fake people, I don't like man that are all into money and not Kind to caring(sure money is important but there are other things more important). I like a man that is comfortable and confident in his own Word of kind,Caring lIfe.
I hope this message finds you well and hope you can share some photos in telling me more about yourself,ask me anything i always have a hard time knowing what to tell about myself.
Sincerely,
Lahra

Looked pretty sincere to me. Incredible, huh?
Here's the first email that sent up the red flags:
hi hope you are fine over there,i just want to let you know that i will be traveling to west africa in nigeria.so i want you to be aware of it.i will be traveling tomorrow.i will text u wen am there.luv u,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At that point, I knew something was
way rotten in Denmark (apologies to anyone who happens to be from Denmark - lol). Here's the next email:
There is some thing i want us to talk about, i know that is very difficult to get some one that is honest and sincere, but for the fact that you have made me forget my past and makes me happy in life again, this issue i am telling you is some thing i will not like you to review to any body, no body knows my were about, i am telling you this due to the trust i have seen in you, i feel your honest and understanding person, when my parents were alive they never hide anything from me as the only child, after the death of my parent i was able to get my late father's Statement of Account were he Deposited his money, my uncle later got to know about it, that was his reason he was threatening me so that he could be able to claim the money. It contains 5.8 million british pounds and as the only child i am the next of kin, i am giving you all this information due to the trust I have deposed on you. that is why i left ,and i want to let you know that am going to come back next month,dont worry at all i will always be online so that we can chart togther,loving you and missing you
,
from lahra.

No request for anything yet.. just the bait. Whoever this is is patient and methodical.
My reply (lol)
That's great. You'll be able to get a few extras for around the house. I hope your trip goes smoothly.
Take care,

BTW, from the get-go, "she" only has my first name. At most, a gal will get my first and last name, my throw-away email addy, and a google voice # until I've met her in person. This person only has my first name and throw-away addy, nothing else. I always use gmail, so good luck on anyone trying to track header IPs. (Unfortunately, this person is using Gmail, as well).
I'll check out that site you referenced for safe playing with these morons, but just out of curiosity, what do you think I gave away that I shouldn't have?
