Fred Amah, supposedly a civil engineer from Maryland, and working on a project in Nigeria, has sent me phony checks, promising to come and visit and cash the checks, and pay me what I loaned him and then some. He told me he loved me and wanted to make a life with me etc. I was stupid enough to give him $20,000, over a 2 months time. I want justice, and don't know where to go to get it.

check out the one i got this morning! these guys are desperate, and trying every ploy they can....

I received two letters from the FBI letting me know that I won money in a lottery and that Bank of America has the money waiting on me. All I have to do is send the person in Nigeria $600 to get the $900,000 I won in a lottery by using my email address. To some people this may look real but don't fall into this scam. You have not won any money, did you enter a contest?, I didn't. I have included the address from the scam email letter so you can see it looks like they are real, but don't be fooled.

FBI SEEKING TO WIRETAP INTERNET

I have recently become a victim of a scam. It started with my space last Oct and being contacted by Mark McSmith. He said he lived in West Palm Beach, FL. He works in computers. He has to go overseas to Nigeria to see about problems with getting his merchandise shipped. Then I get emails that he is stranded and has no money...he can't get his cheques cashed. So I send him $100.00 and then I get a Region's Cashiers check purchased by someone other than him and dated 2/27. He has supposedly been in Nigeria since the first of january. I receive a $6,000 check to be cashed and send him $300.00. Now..why would a man that has been stranded for this long only want $300.00. He also now has 2 my space pages with different birth dates and ages. He is a scammer. He is contacting single women on my space and getting to know them as a love interest. The check has been turned over to the bank as a fraud and the FBI has been contacted. The IP address of his emails are coming from a software company out of Sunnyvale, CA.

i keep getting these emails about someone in africa wanting to give me money! is there anywhere where i can report these addresses that keep filling my inbox with this junk?

I have this email in my inbox that wants my personal info to transfer mony to my bank account.

and pay for me to go back to school, he was going to take me shopping he was going to dress me like a queen. Yeah right.....He's probably some broken down man with no where to go. Once he received the money, he was going to call me and let me know the status of the sales, instead I get a call from some supposedly Nigerian doctor who is yelling on the phone that Richie has been shot in the arm and is in a coma, and that I need to send money for his medical bills. At first I thought this was some kind of game, so I hung up the phone. The man called back again and asked is this Regina? and do you know Pretty Richie Jazzmin? and I said yes and the man ask me why did I hang up the phone? Richie needs your help...as I began to listen to the voice I would almost say that it was Richie himself calling and trying to change his voice. I guess my adrenaline started to pump and and I yelled back at him that if Richie is in a coma, he will remain in a coma waiting for me to send anymore money...call his mother or his sister that he claimed was a missionary with her husband who had just lost his job.

I find it very hard to be in a coma, and check emails from myspace....he was online today, and the moment that he saw that I was online he got off. I have sent him several emails requesting that he contact me, but I don't expect to ever hear from him again. The other part that really bothers me about this is that he used God's name in vain, claimed to be a God fearing man.

I have contacted several of the women on his page to advise them of this scam. I have also sent a email to the FBI and BBB.

He gave me the following information to wire the money to him: Pretty Richie Jazzmin 3 IBIOJOKE STREET OREGUN IKEJA LAGOS NIGERIA, 2341

The wire money was sent from Western Union, MTCN # 457-383-7287 on 5/23/08 12:28 AM.

If you would please look into this and let me know what you find out, I would appreciate it and look forward to putting this person away for a long time.

Once we started talking on the phone, he started talking about he hopes there would be no problems with his goods (computers) coming in on time because his customers were waiting for them. The next day he calls me on my cell phone and tells me that there is a problem, his goods arrived, but customs will not release them to him until he pays an additional $6000 and he only has $2000, he then asked me if I could get a loan for this amount and he would pay me back when he returns? I told him that I do not have that type of money and no way to get it, I advised him that he should contact his family to see what they could do for him. He stated that his mother has breast cancer and is on chemo therapy, and now she is worried about how she will get her treatment because he takes care of his mom as well as a daughter (supposedly) named Yolanda who is 12 yrs old. Note on his www.myspace.com/incompleteheartmeek, his profiles he said that he does not have any kids, and undecided if he wants any. We also did a lot of instant messages through yahoo, I have copies of the emails and IM I will send them to you as well.

My name is Regina and I was recently a victim of a scammer in Nigeria who goes by several different names. Pretty Richie Jazzmin & Richie Jefferson. I met him on my space two weeks ago. We began to chat online, and then he said that he was getting ready to leave for Nigeria on business, but that he would return in two weeks after he sold his goods. He claimed that he was born in England and was raised in Albany, GA. This is also where he claims to have a home. Our conversation began to get very intense, he began to tell me that he loved me, and I asked him how could he claim to love me when he does not know anything about me nor has he every met me? He stated that you don't always have to meet people face to face to love them.
