from Nigeria?
I am concerned about a friend!

Dean answers:

Nigeria seems to be the world capitol of scams of all sorts. Never use a debit or credit card to send anyone in Nigeria money. Once they have your account number they continue using it far beyond the original purchase or payment.

They get away with it because there is nothing we can do about it but close our account at the bank. By the time we complete this action, our money is already gone.

Nigeria is also one of the main locations, as well as Bosnia, and a few others where white slavery scams occur. They send you a plane ticket so you can meet your prospective date. You show up and are taken to your “dates” home. Then you are drugged, your passport and all other I.D. Is taken from you, then you find yourself being prostituted time and time again. They keep you drugged and you disappear from the face of the Earth.
