I had a message from Katrina Brown Korry on Facebook saying: "Hello if u dont mind the color and the distanve i ll love to get to know you better, cos first thing every white man think when they here you are from africa is a scammer but i tell you dis i am from Nigeria and i am not a scammer... If its ok by u, u can add me up and lets get to know each other better".
At first I thought nothing of it, so I accepted her. Last week I said I wished I could talk or text her on mobile. She replied that she wished she could too but was using a friend's mobile, and said "you can buy me on if you want". At the time I thought, why not, and did not think anything of it. She gave me her details and I sent her 100 pounds via Western Union. Last night she claimed she had the phone but needed another 65 pounds to register it so she could get a line.
This is when I became suspicious. I have been looking into scammers in Nigeria and the different scams, but I did not believe I could have fallen for it.
