Happy Ending to the Nigerian Romance Scam

Post by Monkeypoo » Thu Jan 18, 2007 7:32 am

I should have been a freaking Private Investigator. I found Sandra the Scammer's picture on a modeling agency site. Go to: http://www.focusagencyhawaii.com/view_female_models.htm and click on Local Girls - TA DA!!!!

Imagine my amazement when I found out that Sandra had a long lost twin sister named Andi who is a model living in Hawaii and wears the same clothes as Sandra!!

I sent the link to my bro. He's embarrassed, but thankful that I found the link and exposed her. I have no idea if he lost any money. I don't wanna know, really.

PS: See you on the Playa!!! And, trust me, I will find you.

Yep. It`s really twisted shit. It really messes with your perception.

I`d like to think that his miserable fucking existence was punishment enough,...but it`s not.
With luck, someday the law will catch up to this piss ant and his ken.

Good Job MonkeeSlueth!

Does the girl who is pictured have any actual connection to the people conning your brother?

I am sure the modesl Andi has no clue that her pic was grabbed and used.
I read somewhere that there are 3 billion web sites, and over 100 billion web pages oline, and it is growing fast.

Glad to hear it turned out well.

later all.

As long as Africa exports raw materials and not finished goods, it will continue to be the world's largest slave plantation.

Sorry, I meant to say something post-modern and ironically humorous, but I forget what it was.

I've heard that there were folks who fell for these Nigerian scams. Just who falls for them and ends up getting fleeced has always been an enigma to me.

I guess the whole sucker-born-every-minute is still applicable for some folks.

Since when has romance/lust/pangs-of-love ever been a rational process?

Uhhh... Ya! Have you seen evidence otherwise?

"There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him."
-P.T. Barnum

Scams, cons, & rip-off artists are successful because everyone wants to pull one over on the other guy. The "Bank Examiner" scam often works so well, it will be pulled on the same person twice, because the rubes desire for revenge is so great.

Always do your best not to be the sucker. And most people will still get fleeced at least once in their life.
