debosky: Its cool. when its untagged ill delete it. I like the second version. You're right though, though Im not a stranger to money and he was shouting "privacy" But me coming out meaning I wont stand for it, and to warn others that might get in contact with him. |

4 Play:Are you oblivious of the new/recent MRI (bone) scan by the NFF?? On this board alone, I saw people who lauded the actions of NFF and urged to do more. |

ROTFLMAO So is this guy in Nigeria?? |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Nobody: 9:53pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
~Sauron~: It was obvious. . . . His pictures looks like they were taken in Nigeria. And some of his posts were too "good to be true". Then he said he as in UCLA. If he was in UCLA, he wouldnt be posting much on NL. Had his IP checked and it was confirmed. . . . |

~Sauron~: Sharon don't be silly - there's obviously more to this than meets the eye. No one simply YIMs you the first day and asks you to get him an I-20. . . neither do you sit down on your computer waiting to do people favours. Anyone with 70,000 in his account MUST have enough brains to apply for a visa to the US if he needs one and doesn't need assistance. There must have been a personal connection of some sorts for this 'scam' to have happened in this way - the alleged culprit didn't email her out of the blue hence she is clearly saving a good part of the story for herself. |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by platinumnk(f): 9:54pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
~Sauron~: Well as soon as I got the UPS mailing, I realized something was very wrong He promised that he took care of it, the same day I called UPS and they said no one EVER called and the bill was STILL in my name Now. 108 Dollars aint the problem, it the fact that he lied about it , meaning that everything else might be a lie as well. So I called up some collegues and Found out the account was fake. The More I Dig, the nastyier it gets . . ugggh |

FL Gators: C'mon now, drop the IP thingy. IP's can be changed, . . No biggie. I'm more interested in how he managed to deceive you ladies. . . . .well, i mean the clash. But is he really in the US? |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by jaybee3(m): 9:57pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
@debosky plat is a confirmed good hearted Nigerian she offered to help some other dude (stranger) on nl with his visa application. i think she must have paid some fees for the guy as well. What abt the help joshua campaign she spearheaded. Some might call it gullible but i think she is damn right good hearted. |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Sauron1: 9:58pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
debosky: I won't disagree with this bit but then your point of whether there were [i]underground blues [/i]before this scam even makes Platinumnk more vulnerable to the scam and blameless. She probably was too trusting and she got bitten by a Shark. I cannot blame her for trying to assist someone in Naija. Seriously, this dude has just queered the pitch for genuine struggling students who need help to get a Students Visa.
The next thing is for you(as a Moderator-in-Chief) to make Platinumnk tell us the whole shebang. Is there enough bandwidth? |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Nobody: 9:59pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
OMO IBO:[size=18pt] He never deceived me. . . . I knew, but kept my mouth shut because it aint none of my business. I let it out when dude was spreading rumors about seeing what he'll never live to see. Then it went all balls out! If you're going to lie, do so without putting my name in it. Or else, it will get nasty[/size] |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by platinumnk(f): 9:59pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
debosky: Debo I explained everything, what do you think Im hiding? There is always someone who says there is more than meets the eye. I was introduced to him. He gave me his life story, and not instantly accusing someone, I accepted it. I never knew how much the alleged bank account had , until it was sent to me and I coverted it into Dollars. No he didnt email me out the blue, we became friends, and like i said before, I trusted him. I thank God for that UPS BILL |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by debosky(m): 9:59pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
jay bee: Puhleeze - forgive my skepticism. There was a PERSONAL relationship involved. Tell me jaybee - if I told you I had $70,000 would you think I needed your assistance to send an ORDINARY letter to the US? Get real folks! |

OMO IBO: This is why I've been telling these infant girls to stay off this forum, they will never listen. That little girl in Florida will fall hook line and sinker for these men with tall tales |

4 Play: LOL Did I fall for yours when you came on my YIM begging for my hand in marriage? |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by debosky(m): 10:01pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
platinumnk: After he sent you the account details, why on earth didn't you realise something could be up?? For crying out loud - someone has enough funds to come study in the US and needs you to pay UPS for him?? |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Nobody: 10:02pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
FL Gators:Nice one though. Glad none of you got sucked in to his BS. 4 Play:Too right Hombre Too right |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Sauron1: 10:03pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
platinumnk: Cheese n Rice. . . . . . . debosky: Of course, any piss-stained alcohol sodden Lagos nigga can have $70,000 Don't you watch UK Border Force on TV and see how clueless most of the Naija offenders caught look? U think those peops ain't rich paying thousands of cash to some useless Agents to get em abroad? One can be rich and clueless. U cannot blame Platinumnk for that, abeg!!!! |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by platinumnk(f): 10:03pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
debosky: If we never discussed how much he earns how was I Supposed to know since you know every dammmed thing @Jaybee - thanks |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by 4Play(m): 10:04pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
FL Gators: Shush. . it's supposed to be a secret. It's a good idea to expose these people. Hope this is not a false alarm. |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by sjeezy8: 10:05pm On Dec 14, 2009 |

Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by platinumnk(f): 10:06pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
debosky: Go and read over my posts please platinumnk: |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Sauron1: 10:07pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
platinumnk: Debosky is dyslexic. . . . . .U are flogging a dead horse telling him to read your posts again. |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by debosky(m): 10:07pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
I've read your posts - it is inconceivable that someone able to hold enough money to study in the US will need you to help pay for or to send letters for him. It's as simple as that babes - you were way too gullible. |
Re: Is Scamming Part Of Our Culture? by Nobody: 10:08pm On Dec 14, 2009 |
No one's answered my question yet. Is this guy in Nigeria or the US? |
