MET THE SCAMMER ON DEC, 2005. HE HAD A DIFFERENT NAME AND LOOK (ATTACHED)..SAID HIS NAME WAS EDMOND ROBSON AND HE LIVED IN NIGERIA
AND LOST HIS WIFE AND SON IN AN CAR ACCIDENT.
IT WAS A LOVE SCAM FOR MONEY.
HE SAID HE WANTED TO COME TO THE U.S. AND MARRY ME. I FELL FOR IT.
IN JANUARY..I SENT HIM4000.00DOLLARS..PLANE TICKET AND BTA. THEN HE SAY HE WAS ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT AND ASK ME TO PAY A 3,000 THOUSAND BOND. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE NEEDED 1800.00 FOR A LAWYER. AND 1,000 DOCTOR'S FEE WHEN HE HAD TO GET ALL HIS BLOOD DRAIN FROM THE TYPHOID ILLNESS. HE ALSO STATED HE BROKE HIS LEG AND NEEDED 500.00 DOLLARS TO GET OUT OF THE HOSPITAL OR ELSE THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM OUT. SEND A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR CLOTHES HE STATED HE NEEDED FOR JOB HUNTING AND TO HELP PAY TO GO TO THE COURT DURING HIS TRIAL. ALSO SENT MONEY TO HELP TAKE CARE OF HIM BECAUSE HE STATED HE HAD NO MONEY AND WAS HOMELESS.MY INTERNATIONAL PHONE BILL TOP 5,000 DOLLARS.
IN ALL, I WAS SCAMMED OUT OF ABOUT 20,000 THOUSAND DOLLARS WHEN HE
FINALLY CONFESSED THAT HE WAS SCAMMING ME. HE COULD NOT PRODUCE A PASSPORT. HE REAL NAME WAS ALBERT BOLAJI ROBERTS, A WANNA BE PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYER AND HE COMPLETED 3 YEARS OF AN ENGINEER STUDY AT LAGOS UNIVERSITY.

My love,
Being apart from you again is feeling death in slow motion. I think of how things could have been if only we had gotten married. But, what can we do now? Pray for things to come through? I'm lost without you, and I can't think of anything else, but of what our destiny might be. Suddenly, I close my eyes and I imagine your hands caressing my face, fearing that you'll feel the tears running through my cheeks. I know you're hurting as much as I am, but I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I love you and I'm not sorry for loving you, you've giving me so much happiness, and I know you're loving me in your own great way. I miss you sooooooo much and the fear of losing you is making me mad. Don't let our love die through the distance, nor let the faith fall away... I'm waiting for you until you come back to my arms, and make the sun shine once again on these stormy times.

I'm so in love; I get this warm sensual feeling every time I think of you. When I sleep at night, all I can dream about is you. I wish I could hold you in my arms. I dream of the day when I could kiss you passionately on your soft sweet lips and listen to your heart beating because it's sweet music to my ears. All I can say is let me be the one you love; let me be the one whose love you need.
Love always

Hello,i hope you remember me Paul friend of Mr edmond.I walked into edmond house today and i saw the door opened.I also saw that he left hes computer on.I called him and he said he did not want to talk to anyone so then i was wondering what could have happened.I went to his computer and i must apologise for reading the messages you have sent him,for a woman to curse like that to her man is too much,telling him to go to hell.I dont want to take sides because he may have said things to hurt you as well,but i dont think so.Edmond hates trouble and i know thats why he has left.now if i call hm he would not tell me where he is.I think only you can talk to him to come home.i would have to leave out of town again tomorrow and i would not be satisfied if i dont see him feel alright.i pray that he doesnt do anything to hurt himself or probably kill himself.I hope your kids are doing well,i cant remember their names but edmond talks about them like he
knows them.I am learing alot from you and edmond.i am so proud of you two with the kind of relatoinship you keep.Dont disappoint.Make edmond come back.I am sleeping at edmond's house for the night till i leave.Have a nice day and good luck

Dear Mrs Robson,
You just don't know how much I love you. You are the best woman any man could ever ask for. Whenever I have a problem and need some type of comfort, you are there for me. It is you who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I, one day, wish you would have one kid for me . You just don't understand how much I adore you, appreciate you, admire you, trust you, respect you, and over all love you.
I believe this is it, you are the one for me. Being away from you drives me crazy and makes me want to be with you right at this very instant. I just think of this separation as a test. I can deal with it. If this is what it takes to be with you then I will go through it. Well, Honey, I am going to end this letter with I love you more than anything in this world. Remember that now. I love you so much, Babycakes.
Love always,
Edmond

Hey baby Girl,
In life, we receive a wonderful opportunity, and that is to love. Love comes in many forms. You love people in different ways and for different reasons, depending upon how they have touched your life. Love is a very powerful word and can describe a multitude of feelings, but its main context carries the same meaning.
I want to tell you that the love I have for you is undying. It is a love that is strong and enduring and will stand the test of time. I truly feel blessed that you have become a part of my life and I cannot wait for the day that we can join our lives together. I want to lie next to you at night and fall asleep in your arms, only to wake to your beautiful smile. I want to share in your joys and sorrows. I want to be your everything. You are everything to me.
You are everything I do. You see and bring out the best in me. You are the one I want to share everything with - my thoughts, hopes and dreams. Thinking of you makes my
heart feel full. You are such a source of inspiration for me. I will forever be indebted to you for all you have brought to my life. So, to repay you, I promise you my heart and all the love in it for the rest of my life....
Love always
Edmond

Dear Edmond:
I am sorry that you are suffering so much. Really sad.For about9 months you brought joy and pain to my life.We became close. When you told me last night that you would leave me if I talk to you a certain way...well that made me think that your not SERIOUS about us at all if you would let words separate us. Also I got to thinking what I would be exposing my kids too. You are sick with a third world disease. [...] You would have to be treated over a period of two years to make sure that stuff is out of your system and it is not gauranteed that it will be. Your life, your problems, health and otherwise are just too much for me. I am releasing myself from this problem Edmond. This is too much. Just seems like it gets endless and I get further and further away from meeting you let alone having a life with you. You are a beautiful person Edmond. I have done nothing wrong. If you live, hope we can remain friends and in contact with each other. But I cannot carry you financially or emotionally anymore. Have to cut that off Edmond, completely.
I did not create your problem or situation financially or healthwise, and I am not going to play superwoman to solve it. Cannot do this shit any longer. At this rate, I am going to lose more than 15,000 dollars, I am going to lose my mind as well.
Really sorry for your situation. Tina |

Dear baby ,
Life is so unpredictable. Changes always come along, in big or small ways. I don't know what happened that this sudden change has turned my world upside down. I don't know exactly what it is, it just hit me, but there is something really special about you.
It might be all the things I see on the surface, the things that everyone notices and admires about you, qualities, capabilities and a wonderful smile obviously connected to a warm and loving heart; these things set you apart from everyone else. But it may also be the big things ... the person you really are that I hope to know more and see you in person someday. And it might also be the little things ... the way you walk and all your actions. I receive so much joy just being able to see a smile in your eyes. If I ever figure out the magic that makes you so special, I'd probably find out that it's a combination of all these things. You are a rare combination of
so many special things. You are really amazing.
Inside of me there is a place where my sweetest dreams reside, where my highest hopes are kept alive, where my deepest feelings are felt and where my favorite memories are safe and warm. I find that you're on my mind more often than any other thought. Sometimes I bring you there purposely just to make my day brighter. But more often, you surprise me and find your own ways into my thoughts. There are even times when I awaken, I realize that you've been a part of my dreams. Then during the day, when my imagination is free to run, it takes me into your arms and allows me to linger there knowing there's nothing I'd rather do. I know my thoughts are only reflecting the loving hopes of my heart because whenever they wander, they always take me to you.
Only the most special things in my world get to come inside my heart and stay. And now, I realize how deeply my life has been touched by you.
your
loving hubby
Eman

Dear Baby ,
I have lived for a long time, responsible for and dependent upon no one, answering to no one and committed to no one except myself. During this period of my life, I considered the world mine for the taking and truly believed that I was living life to the fullest. Then, you came into the picture, and all of a sudden, I realized that I was deceiving myself.
I find that my life is not all that I thought it was. In fact, it is terribly lacking in many things, the foremost being love. Now, through some great fortune, I have found that love and along with it, the one person who can make my life truly complete.
You are that person, and I have somehow fallen in love with you. To be honest, I never thought I would ever utter those words, but now, they come forth effortlessly and with great sincerity. I'll be forever be grateful to you for showing me just how shallow my life was. At last, I have a chance to give it depth and purpose.
Your Forever
Eman

Dear Tina,
Since the first day you told me you loved me, I hardly believed it. As
each day went past and our love grew stronger, my mind did not lose the
wonder of whether you love me or not. But lately you've proven me wrong
- my thinking you'd leave me and run. You've stayed with me through all
that I have done.
I may not be the surest of men, knowing what to do and how to be
careful, but I learn quickly. I want this to last. I don't want our love to
burn out because of my mistakes. God has sent you to me and for that I
thank him from the bottom of my heart. You're truly a blessing, Tina,
please, never forget. You've taken my heart and made it to wake. I see
how much you care, and I feel like flying. You're lifting my heart in your
hands and warming it with yours, and it's the best feeling in the world.
I sit right here, thinking of you, and how you make my heart beat and
how I am in love. I could never have thought that I would feel this way.
You know all too well how surprising this is, I just love you so much. I
don't know how it happened, and frankly I don't even care, I just want to
love you and you to love me. I'll love you forever and never leave you.
You'll be in my arms , I promise you.
This may start sounding like a poem, I don't know; must be the rhythm of
my heart that's calling for you. I just wanted to tell you, and the world,
that you are my heart and my every thought. That I love you with
everything I have and hold dear, that you mean more to me than this
bright blue sphere. I miss you so much. You're probably sleeping now, but
when you wake up, this will greet you. In this little letter I'm pouring my
heart, can you feel how I feel for you? Tina darlin, you mean the world
to me... I'll never forget you. I'll be faithful and never leave you.i also want u to know We are meant to be together for the rest of our lives, this we know. Each day that passes I am aware that it means that it is one day closer to being in your arms again. Each night is spent dreaming of your face and wishing you were next to me again
I love you baby
Stay BLessed

Oyin,
From the day we met, I knew that you would hold my heart in your hands and you more than do that - you completely own me and every part of me. When I think of you, my heart is so full of love and passion for you that I can hardly contain myself. I think of spending every minute of every day with you and holding you so close to me. Whenever you think of me, please know that no matter how many miles separate us or how much of our lives comes between us, you are and always will be the love of my life and I will never love anyone as much again. I thank God everyday for letting me meet you and for you falling in love with me because I know that it would never be as perfect any other way. I love you with all that I am.
You brought love and laughter to my empty, sad and boring life. My heart had known only emptiness until the day you came and filled my heart to overflowing with your jovial ways. Your sense of humor
has turned my frown into a smile.
You taught me how to love again, you taught me to give and receive love by trusting in you and believing. You taught me to go the extra mile. And though there are miles between us, I never stop thinking of you, you have brought a change into my life and my heart is forever yours.
I can never forget you, or keep thoughts of you out of my mind. I think of your sweet lips and kisses, feel them as if it was yesterday. Thoughts of you warm my heart. You complete me, you are everything my heart desire.
Loving You Always,
Albert |

When Tina realized that it was a romance scam, she stopped all further contact with the scammer.
Several of the loveletters she received were standard letters. You will notice that they don't contain personal information. |
