I have $10 million frozen in a Nigerian bank account. The bank tells me that if I pay $10,000 in fees, I can free my money. If you send me $1,000 I would be happy to give you 10%. I accept Paypal!!!

OH wow!.. havent you heard all the hype about the Nigerian money scams? Been around for 10years or so..
Dr.Phil, Oprah and other TV shows have done a lot of reports on these.. And women who have gotten caught up thinking they ‘love” someone who is in financial hardships there..
Sister, they are playing you like a fiddle… Im even surprised they even had enough balls to mention Nigeria.. that would send up a whole shipload of red flags for me…
If he has problems.. all he really needed to do was find the nearest American embassy and they’d help him… (he is lying and the whole story is bogus).. He is sitting in a warehouse packed full of computers with about 15 or more buddies sitting next to him all typing the exact same message to many more niave women.)… block him, move on..

Maybe.
I know a woman who was scammed $2.500.00 in the same way you described.
Don’t give him the money, he has AT LEAST 12 other women that he is feeding the same line and one or more of them have already sent him the money.
You are one of the fortunate ones. Drop ALL contact with this confidence trickster.
