Online friend in Nigeria asked for money; I sent $2,400

I was online playing a card game. I received a message from someone befriending me, so I accepted. This began in October 2010. He would come on every day around 7 p.m. my time, and we would chat on Yahoo Messenger. At first he seemed to be a nice person just looking to chat with someone online. We did this every day, talking about family and things we like and dislike. Then he emailed me that he was taking a job in Nigeria and would be gone for a while, but he would keep in contact.

This was in November 2010. A week went by and I did not hear from him. Then someone called my phone. It was him. I asked how he got this number, and he said I gave it to him, but I do not remember giving him my number. We began to talk again, most of the time in the evening because he said he was working. Now we were into December. He said his job would be up in April and he would like to come meet me. I said that sounded okay.

When April came, we had been talking, and by now he had led me to think he wanted to be more than friends and that it would be a good thing for us to meet. Then during one of our talks he said his job was up next week and he would like to come see me, but he could not cash the check he had been paid there. So he needed 200 dollars, and for me to wire it to him. So I did. Then he had to pay the motel bill before leaving, so he had to use that money on the bill, and he asked if I could send 500 dollars this time, because he needed the 200 he had to spend and he needed 300 more to get food and other things for him and his son. That was sent. Then he got in a car accident and needed 500 more to pay the bill, which I sent. This kept going on with one thing or another, all about him and his son coming to meet me.

Now we are in June and July, and he can never make it to the plane, or if he does, he needs more money because of taxes. That got added on. Just last month I sent him another 200 to get on the plane. This time he and his son got in an accident, and now he needs another 500 to pay a hospital bill so they will let them out. When I counted up my receipts, I had sent $2,400. And no one has shown up yet.

I looked up how I could report this person, and maybe it will save another woman from being used in this way. This person is on Yahoo Messenger as Billy Waller. Email: Billyb51@yahoo.com
