The exact same thing really Africa and it was pretty girls and locating money .
These are all scams. The one from Nigeria is particularly well known.
Even if everything sounds legit up front, no doubt once you beginning chatting with them they will then reveal their scam.
Trust your gut on this.
All of those are scams. They were recently aired on Dateline NBC. They actually went over seas and tracked these scam artists and used marked packages and so on. They did the hidden camera thing and caught several. Scam artist in third world countries sit in internet cafes all day and do nothing but send these messages out to as many people as they can. They even sell likely names to their friends after they've scammed them once already. They call gullable people "Moo Moo's!" I have no idea how they came up with that name and they didn't cover it on the show.
