Tell me some Nigerian scammer online dating stories.

Typically, they start by creating a very alluring persona. They might say they are successful in business or have a high - status job. Then they quickly form an emotional bond with the victim through sweet talk. Next comes the request for money for some 'urgent' situation like a business deal gone wrong or a family emergency.

I heard of a case where a scammer in an online dating situation pretended to be a wealthy businessman. He charmed the victim with pictures of luxury cars and houses. After a while, he started asking for small amounts of money for various 'business deals' that he said would result in big returns for the victim. But in the end, all the money the victim sent disappeared, and it turned out the pictures were all stolen from the internet.

One of the main patterns in these stories is the over - the - top flattery. Scammers will shower the victim with compliments to make them feel special and lower their guard. They'll also seem very interested in the victim's life very quickly. Then comes the request for financial help. It could be for something like helping a sick relative or getting out of a legal trouble. And they'll keep asking for more money as time goes on, always with new and seemingly urgent reasons.

There was a case where a man thought he had found his soulmate online. The 'lady' sent him pictures of a very attractive woman. She always had an excuse for not meeting in person, like family issues. Eventually, she asked him to pay for her flight to come see him. After he sent the money, she disappeared. These scammers often play on people's emotions to get financial gain.

One common story is about a person who met someone on a dating app. The scammer claimed to be working overseas. They quickly fell in love and then started asking for money for various reasons like a business emergency. Once the victim sent the money, the scammer disappeared.

In another online dating murder story, a young girl thought she had found true love on a dating app. She started seeing a guy regularly. But this guy had a criminal past that he hid from her. One day, during an argument, he lost control and killed her. It's a tragic reminder that we need to be more cautious when getting involved with someone we meet through online dating.

I heard about a girl who went on an online date. The guy she met talked only about his ex - girlfriend the whole time. He compared everything about her to his ex, from her looks to her hobbies. It was such a disaster that she left early.

There's a story of a woman in Nigeria who was rumored to practice black magic for love. She was said to make potions that could make a person fall in love with someone else. A young man once sought her help to win the heart of a girl he liked. But things went awry when the girl started having strange nightmares about being trapped with the young man.

One common CD scammer story in New York could be about those who sell counterfeit CDs on the street. They would claim that these CDs are rare or exclusive versions, but in fact, they are just cheap knock - offs. They target tourists and people who are not very familiar with the music market. For example, a scammer might approach a young music lover near a popular concert venue and say he has a limited - edition CD of a famous band that is not available in stores. When the victim pays a high price for it, they later find out it's a fake.

Sure. One common online scammer story is the fake lottery win. Scammers send emails or messages saying you've won a huge lottery but need to pay a small fee to claim it. People fall for it thinking they'll get a big payout, but in reality, they just lose the fee they paid.
