My best friend asked me to open pay pal account for his boyfriend whom he met in the Internet, before doing so, I asked several questions. . To make the story short I agreed. Then them money was deposited to my account, ( but my paypal accont was still on hold because I didn't activate it yet, but the fund was ready .) Seeing the details of the transaction. It was from a certain Mrs.XXX of NJ. details was re: help the wild animals. I became suspicious because it seemed that I was having or running a charity. I don't solicit funds or even ask money from anybody. I spoke to my best friend, telling her that I'm not convinced , it might be a scam, I knew. He never saw the guy even in the webcam. and there were so many allibies , the guy supposed to come here in the UK to visit my friend, but due to an incident he was unable to. I cancel the transaction and told paypal to return the money to the sender.
Even before that, the guy said that he was a dentist (volunteer) working in
Nigeria. I suspected that he was a con. So I phoned Nigeria their headquarters and asked if a certain Mr. XXXX is a volunteer dentist in Nigeria, and to my disbelief that there was no single dentist volunteer in the Country. I told my friend . But still she won't believe me I suppose because she's still contacting this guy. MR> XXXX was so dissappointed because the transaction was cancelled. and I explained to my bfriend that I don't expect the money will be coming from America, if that's the case, Mrs. XXX of NJ can send the money directly to Mr.XXXX of Nigeria using Western Union .
The boyriend told my friend that she doesn't know Mrs. XXX, but he said that he was dealing with a certain Mr. Daniels, who was a traveller who cannot deposit the money to my paypal account. So Mr. daniels instructed Mrs. XXXX(NJ) to pay me. I don't buy the story. Maybe their soliciting fund by running a charity or somewhat, I don't know??? But it was good that I was out of it. But my best friend was still in contact with the guy. I was telling her to be careful.
I want to call the head Office based in Geneva , Switzerland to ask for him. I think this is possible???
My friend believe this guy so much. Maybe she is under a spell everytime she spoke to him on the phone. Is this possibble??? Mr. XXXX maybe using some hulla balloo. So I said to my best friend that tell the guy that you wanted to see his face in the web cam, since it's X'mas . she did, but the guy said that" i don't have a webcam ", I will try to find one. Until now, I'm still convincing my best friend that the guy is a scam??:cwm23:
Why trust smeone whom you never met yet particularly if it involved money. :furious3:
What do you think.??? :Erm:
Mr. XXX also mentioned that all of his credit cards were expried already, that he needed to renew it personally?????
So he really needed the money. By the way he is a volunteeer yet his eight year old son is joining him in Nigeria, (Is that possible) he said that his wife died on an plane crash>
That his son had an accident, was in the hospital for a month and needed a theraphy because his legs were broken,. that he was being burgled, etc....
:doh :doh
