Nothing stops anyone from opening another account and continuing with their dubious activities..ban or no ban.
Members have to be careful and wise.

alerts like this are very much needed, anyway, so that in whatever angle they take, members would be aware.
I trust most Nigerians anyway to know scams when they see them.

berem: this is serious! buh the babe make sense sha!

I tell ya! If I be guy, I fit fall o! But thank God say I no be guy sha...

There are so many members like that here. Here is a perfect example: www.nairaland.com/jleague

This guy is virtually following all the females on NL. He has no posts...no topics. Perhaps all he does is send e-mails. Only God knows how many gullible souls he has devoured.

NL is addictive. No matter how important/busy/principled/introverted you are, you'll find yourself commenting...and in turn receive responses.

There may be exceptions, but these *exceptions usually choose to remain as *guests. Even if they do register, they don't follow this many people just like that.

This dude's target population is solely made up of females. Hmmm...Ladies, don't do a "Cynthia" o.

Got a message almost a replica of this from a Big brother forum some years back. I was very young then and walahi, i almost fell for d trick. I even consulted some of my frnds for advice. Thank God dat @d nick of time, i started havin doubts and decided to call our 'Romance' quits hehe...I stil have some of the pics of herself she sent to me

Wow...very true.
Some few months ago, i received this same mail from a "girl" i connected with through the bba forum. She claimed to be mary jane sankara.
She started with their usual "i like you alread upon opening you profile", and all those n.onsense.
I never believed her but i welcomed her. She then started narrating that fake a.ssed story to me. Upon seeing that, i immediately ignored her,though she kept mailing me.
As i'm typing now, this "sandra" girl follows me and has already pm'ed me saying she wished we could be friends 'cos i earned her trust and honour when she opened my profile! [quote author=kunletiwoo]
My Dearest,
I am more than happy in your reply to my mail How are you today? How was your day, hope fine? as for me, loneliness is all my daily routine over here in Dakar Senegal.
I know this mail will come to you as a surprise since we have not had earlier correspondence about my aim of contacting you now. Please, try to understand with me. i will really and sincerely appreciate it. try to send me your picture if possible in your reply.
I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my situation here and after reading your profile online and prayed over it. My dear, i believe that you are the kind of person i can talk to and trust with my heart and believe you will not fail me. I am Miss Sandra Alassane, 23 years old girl from Ivory Coast, never married, 5.6ft tall, fair in complexion and the only child of Late Dr. Wilson Alassane.
My late father was the former deputy minister for aviation under the leadership of former president of Ivory coast Laurent Gbagbo, who is now in the Custody of International Criminal Court (ICC) for more detail where he is now facing many court charges ranging from manslaughter, murder, mismanagement after many innocent soul were killed in my country Ivory Coast. My father was killed by government of Laurent Gbagbo, He accused my father of coup attempt when he found out that my father is not in support of all his wicked practices.
I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment i am receiving from my step-mother. She planned to take away all my late father's treasury after she has taken all the landed properties even houses from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Meanwhile, I wanted to escape to Europe but she find out about my plans from my closed friend whom i trusted so much. My step mum now seized my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily for me she did not discover where I kept my late fathers File which contains important and valid financial documents.
So I decided to ran away to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugees here in Dakar Republic of Senegal because she want to kill me since i refused to give her those documents. I am contacting you personally for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in your Country.
My late father of blessed memory deposited the sum of US$ 6.7m (Six Million Seven Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in one of the leading bank in Europe with my names as the next of kin. But meanwhile you should not allow any other person to know about this money since my late father did not disclose it to any body rather do they know about the valuable documents .I have informed the bank of my plans of transferring the money to me here in African to start a new life but little did i know that my late father as enterprise as he will always be when alive had an agreement with the noble bank that : i should be up to 30 years of age before i will have direct access to the money or i must present a partner to stand for me as my trustee to the bank so the bank will make the transfer into my partner`s account.
However, I shall forward you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer of the money to your account till when i will come over to your country for your assistance to invest the money wisely in any good lucrative business in your country. I will also like to complete my studies there since i was in my 1st year in the university when the crisis started. It is my intention to compensate you with 20% of the total money for your assistance and the balance will be my investment capital to start a new life and happiness.
This is the reason why I decided to contact you. Please all communications should be through this email address for save, confidential and documentary purposes. As soon as I receive your positive response showing your interest I will put things into action immediately because life in this camp is hell on earth. As a refugee here i don't even have any right to handle money or whatever because i have not gotten the residence permit of this country.[quote]
