Hello, I am Miss Young. In this story my friend Jim Wayne
goes dating on the Internet. |
Go to the homepage to see more
stories. |

I join AmericanSingles and find this beautiful lady. She
claims to be from Nigeria. |
|
|
|
I write to her, and she quickly falls in love with me. Then
she sends me a poem: |

I don't think you realize
How I love you so.
You ask me everyday
And by now I'd think you'd know.
Don't you understand,
What you mean to me?
Every minute I think of you
And wonder if you're thinking of me.
So next time you wonder
If I really like you,
Just read this poem
And think of me
And know I'm thinking of you.

I think she found the poem here:
http://www.foreveryours.com/lovepoems/poem89.htm
I answer:
Wow, Jenny... What a nice poem, so romantic and sweet. I am so flattered
that you wrote that for me, especially after having just met you so
recently. Most of my writing is confined to estimates for the custom
homes that I build. What an awesome woman you are! I'm blown away...I
can't wait to see what you'll write next. Hope to hear from you soon
Jenny..........Sincerely, ...

Hmm.....haven't heard from her in a couple of days, let's see if this
primes the pump:
Hello Jenny, Where did you go? did I say something wrong? I really
did like your poem. I hope all is well with you, just wondering if you're
still at all interested. I know I am.

Thanks for mailing me back , Jim I will love to come over and stay
with you so that we can get to know one another what do you think about

it will be 500$ .

i will love to have my own kids some that .

I feel so cheesy lying like this...I just have to remember these people
are scumbags who need to be outed:
Wow, you really want to come and stay with me? I must be the luckiest
guy in the world, to have a beautiful girl like you telling me she loves
me and wanting to come stay with me in Los Angeles. I bet you could
find a lot of modeling work in this town, as pretty as you are. I'm
sorry to hear your parents are no longer alive, that must put a lot
of hardship on you. You need a good guy like me looking after you....and
I would too...Wow, I really am starting to care about you already....when
can you get on a plane to get over here, I can't wait! Truly, ...

It is obvious that this is not the first time that she has asked for
money via Western Union. She could be a rich lady by now, so maybe I
should marry her anyway. On the other hand, "she" might turn
out to be a "he".
My answer:
Hello my sweet one, There is so much more I want to know about you...I
don't want to feel like I am taking advantage of you if you are in an
unhappy situation and just want to leave the life you've known for Los
Angeles. I mean, it is nice here, but it will be unlike anything you
are used to. I don't know if you will like it here, and I want you to
be happy. So tell me of your interests and expectations Jenny. Please
understand I ask this out of respect for you and your happiness. Waiting
to hear from you............

This is getting old...it's looking like a small time $500
hustle. I think I will just alert the people at American Singles as to
how "Jenny" is using their service and call it a day.......... |

As you can see, dating sites, are also used for fraud, so
be aware of who you are sending money too. |
