Hi guys, My name is Patti and I will be your girlfriend. I need some money for internet though or I can't talk to you anymore.
 
Ouch. In a relationship but never seen her? Frankly, what's the point of THAT relationship?

Besides, Nigeria? BIG red flag anyway!
 
I'm a female! I look like Charlize Theron :) Looking for a rich online boyfriend! now! lol...I guess my name Bigmac isn't gonna help is it?
 
Hi guys! Can someone lend me $1200 for my new computer? I look like Charlize Theron i promise :) lol
 
I truly feel for lonely hearts out there but damn. Imagine the hookers he could have had with that money! Geez, at least get some real as$ before spending your cash!
 
lol how can they do these scam dont they need your account number and pin for this scam?

Plus that way you're supporting local business!
 
[citation][nom]pocketdrummer[/nom]You know, he made a terrible decision to take it seriously in the first place, but you can't ignore that the guy is probably extremely lonely. You don't know what he looks like, if he's disabled, etc. He may have chosen a "distance relationship" because he felt it was all he could have.It's sad. No part of this is funny.[/citation]

Damn, I was laughing until I read this.
 
There are a lot of dumb people out there. And to think this dummy had 200K to throw out the window.
 
No vacations in 2.5 years where he could've met "her" yet he had money saved?
Only Americans are that enslaved to their jobs.
 
Some say rich people are idiots, i wouldn't call 200k rich, and most rich people are smart, how do you thing they become rich in the first place?
 
I wouldn't trade Jane (my current fake on-line girlfriend) for anything ...

😍
