to ebabies:DON'T BE CHEATED HERE!!

TO all ebabies:

how are you ebabies? hope you are all fine and enjoy  your new year.

 

but,i am not fine here,i am in a rage—-i was cheated!!!

 

some days ago,i received an email here in englishbaby. someone from SENEGAL,whoes ID is goodlove20,said she want to make friends with me,and gave me her email address. so i sent her one. then she replied and began our contract. after two emails,she told me that she is in a refugee camp in senegal,her parents had died for some reason.  and she said that her father had $550 million in STANDARD CHARTERED BANK UK,and she is the next kin.she has her father's death certificate and something which can prove that she can get the money.but she is in trouble,she said she need my help. so i did!! she gave me the bank's email address and asked me to tell them what she wanted to say. at first,i was puzzled that how can she trust a person she had never met ?  but she said that if anyone in her situation will do so. then i think that if that's true,and on one helps her,that's really very hopeless for her. so i sent the email to the bank. and it replied. and said that they need three thing, one of them is that they need a witness who  is a native lawyer in senegal.  i   told her that. and she gave me a email address of an lawyer,let me to contact. i did so. and they replied that they need my information.

 

i am a little puzzled and wandered that whether i am helping the right person who is the real CYNTHIA GOBAH,and whether there is such a bank in the UK,whether there is a refugee camp in senegal,whether there is such a lawyer ? what can i  do if i am helping to creat a crime? so i kept an eye. i came to englishbaby. i asked someone who is in the UK that if the bank is there. and asked some people who is senegalnese that if the refugee camp exist.  besides,i search the internet to see something about senegal,but there is no useful information except traveling… those kind ebabied replied me. the results shocked me. there is a bank in the UK,but the email addresses are fake. and there is no such a place called the refugee camp in the senegal!!!

 

then i sent to her an email(actually i want to do so at first),and said that i want to see the picture of her ID card.  till  now,no reply…

 

see how foolish i am!!! one of my friends once said that i am a person who has the confidence not to be cheated,but always to be cheated…i denied,but know i think  i am….

 

the so named Cynthia Gobah:

i don't know who are you,i dont know your real   name ,and i also think that the picture you sent to me is also fake. i  hope you can stop!! you cannot use people's sympth to cheat them.!!

 

and ebabies:

do NOT trust anyone so easily, you may be cheated!!!

When they offer to transfer money into your account it is because they will ask for some of th emoney back. Usually they will transfer a few hundred to a few thousand dollars more than they said and then say they made a mistake. Eventually the bank will realize the money was stolen and you will be accountable for the money you wired back, as well as any other money you spent.

It probably was a guy making the marrriage offer too :D

Thanks louisa. Actually reading emails like this and those of others can show that it is work of scammers…. of course, for those who can easily point out a scam when he/she sees it.
