Middle-class mother who fell in love with Nigerian she met on web,  and didn't hesitate when he asked for £40k to fund oil scam

‘Middle-class, middle-aged, respectable. I was brought up nicely and married well. Our boys went to public school.
‘But after what I’ve been through, I know they’d find me unacceptable around here. Things like this don’t happen to women like me.’
She has a point. For in Caroline’s case, ‘things like this’ means dabbling in fraud and embracing folly on such an epic scale that even her close family struggles to comprehend.
‘Everyone asks how could I have been so silly,’ she sighs. ‘I got more than I bargained for.’
How could she fall in love with a foreigner on the internet and then, despite his many and obvious lies, entrust him with £40,000, money she will never see again?
In fairness, Caroline, now 54, has the honesty and intelligence to talk about her motives and the loneliness which is at the root of her current predicament.
Similar to many women of her age, with two failed marriages behind her, she badly wanted the comfort of a relationship.

Then she came across a man she calls Sab, who seemed so very different from the run-of-the-mill men she had been meeting.
‘Of course, his name is really Steve,’ she says, of the man she now understands is a Nigerian called Stephen Ehiamhen.
‘I call him Sab because, when he first advertised on the site, he called himself Sabastine Roland. He used a fake picture and posed as a Greek, claiming to be an entrepreneur in Nigeria.’

According to SOCA, ‘romance scamming’, as it is known, is more common than ever, with British women at greater risk than those of any other nationality.
One scammer in Ghana, Maurice Fadola, has defrauded 16 women, taking £700,000 from five of them.

shocking

these 9ja scammers get away with this all the time because Nigeria law enforcement does nothing to stop them

^^^^^

Yeah right. Blame Nigerian officials for everything. Who told you they dont do anything to the ones that get caught? Go and ask EFCC or simply go to their websites. Ha. Blame Nigerian offcials for everything. Even if someone fart, he go blame it on government officials.

what do they do?

yahooze all over the place in 9ja walking free

Please spare 5 minutes to read the link.

The lady should be arrested by the Nigerian Government. She willingly agreed to sponsor act of terrorism and economic sabotage.

She is the CRIMINAL here

How does the saying go? A fool and his (in this case, her) money are easily parted. Crimes like this, it is hard for me to feel sorry for the victim. A little bit of common sense goes a long way.

This is one reason why I gave the church my heart,and remain heartless.
No heart for no man to toy with

That made me sad. Not all Nigerian men are bad, not even most of us. Just use reason and common sense; don't let emotions get the best of you.

And if Nigerian men don't work out, plenty of other types! No reason to be heartless.

I can see from her pix she has a tiny lap. If she get booty the boy for still dey.
Just Kiddin

hmm.

let me read the story sef.

our greatest export in nigeria?

male charm abi na charms.



possibly the guy cussed out nigerian women in typical mobo444 fashion and some other ones who wont be named yet.

always a sign of a scammer a man up to no good.

but this is some heavy money we're talking about sha.

lord have mercy.

Caroline accepts that even the earliest signs were dubious.

‘He was vague about his age,’ she says. ‘First it was 47, then 37. He told me that when he applied for a visa to travel to South Africa, he had been advised to say 27 so that he could make out he was a student going tothe World Cup.‘


After two emails, he phoned. I knew the moment I heard him that he wasn’t Greek.’
In fact, while ‘Sab’s’ English was limited, he most certainly did not speak the language of Sophocles, preferring a version of pidgin laced with dialect and slang that is widely spoken in Nigeria.

‘I challenged him about it but he laughed,’ says Caroline.

For all his obvious lies, she found him attractive. ‘We messaged and emailed every day

For all his obvious lies, she found him attractive.

hmm.

All these ugly, fat, desperate English women should learn to respect themselves.

Everyone asks how could I have been so silly,’ she sighs. ‘I got more than I bargained for.’
How could she fall in love with a foreigner on the internet and then, despite his many and obvious lies, entrust him with £40,000, money she will never see again?

Serves her right.


The love of an African block-Os is the beginning of wisdom.
Hope he left her  enough good memories to last her a life time.

My thoughts, actually. . . . .

A clear case of Yahoo Plus (Plus)!
She shoulda seen it coming, after all, it takes two to tango. Kpele madame.

ROTFL.

47 --> 37 -----> 27 lmao!

And if you see how Nigerian men in the romance section place these old whilte fo ols in high prizes.

Puke. Full of broken hears, no wonder they cant stand Nigerians.

IT'S LIKE THEY NEVER NEVER LEARN. THIS IS NOTHING NEW FOR CHIRSAKE!

Most real life Scammers are not so sensible. Its not as if this ugly guy would ever marry a woman better than this White woman; What happens to truly loving her? I bet he's done spending all that money already, Fraudsters outplays themselves at times.

i wonder if the guy is a nler.

chai- see the silly grin on his face.

probably opened a few threads here to tell us how he's bonking a foreign chick who's faaarrrrr better than ugly, unsexy, un-everything naija women.
