How do Nigerian women get my email address from the Personals and is it a scam?

They want me to send $750.00 for her to come to MN. I have talked to the travel agency several times. Global Atlantic Travel Agency by phone. I have everything that was sent to me from the women and the travel agency. Will you tell me if you have heard of this before? Travel Agency phone no: 011-23480-664-26-697. Email:gata02@mail.com. Please do not use my name.

It's definately a scam. It's probably not even a woman that you're corresponding with. They just send you a picture of a pretty woman. When they get all the money out of you that they can get, you won't hear from them again.

Reply:Yes it's a scam. One of the oldest. Don't respond to these emails and absolutely don't send any money.
Reply:dude, dont do it.





Nigerian fraud emails are notorious for ripping people off.
Reply:You are being SCAMMED. Thousands of these scams are out there and most of them come from Nigeria. Do NOT give them any money or any of your personal information. Delete any further emails you get from them - without opening them. Everytime you open one of their emails, they can gain access to information about you. Don't call them anymore. If you continue with this, they will eventually get access to your bank, your credit card info and your social security number.





Do yourself a favor and go to Google.... Enter "current scams" or "Nigerian scams" and you will see what these people do.
