Complaint Review: Linda Andres

I was lonely and went(foolishly) to Match.com to meet someone.  I met someone and they wanted us to correspond via our private emails.  So they gave me their email - andreslinda67@yahoo.com - and we started a cyber relationship.  This person said they were in Denison, Texas.  We corresponded approximately 4 months.

After about a month, they said they were in North Carolina and they needed money to pay for some unforseen medical bills.  They asked if I could send money to them.  Over the next 3 months, I sent $150.00, $200.00, $250.00 and $100.00 to Dan F Jones in North Carolina via Western Union.  I've included jpeg copies of the Western Union receipts.

Also, towards the end of our correspondence, they wanted me to send $1600.00 so they could get their "Goods" from Kuala Lumpur released from customs.  They said the "Goods" were worth $80,000.00 and that they could make $20,000.00 from the sale of the "Goods".  Of course the  $20,000.00 would be for us to "...start a new life together..."

I've included a  jpeg copy of the "Customs" notice complete with different font types and sizes and obviously poor use of white-out to change words and amounts.  Finally,  I mentioned it to my room-mate who did some research and found out that the emails were from Lagos, Nigeria.
