I would not tell her you were suspicious. That will make her defensive.

Act as if you are very happy for her and really interested in this new relationship.

Ever show you some of the correspondence.

Obtain the guys email address. And any other information you can about him.

File a report with the local police department or FBI, if they will take it.

Send him a copy.

Alternatively, suggest someone in the family is an FBI agent.
You can try having her declared incompetent, but that is very very difficult to do.

The reality is in United States of America you have a legal right to give your money to Nigerian scammer if you want to.

Take note, women of GLP...

Have some redeeming life skills, don't just rely on a man for survival until one of you dies.

You'll end up like this.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56796188


But you asshole men want us to be helpless so that we have to depend on you. See? Now you know why we don't depend on you for our survival, don't you? Now you know why we can't ever depend on you losers to help take care of us women so I guess we are on our own. And lady, if this woman doesn't understand then you need to seriously slap her upside the goddamned head!
Really! It's a scam and no, she should never send him any money.Fuck those N*****S!

You could talk to the banker where she keeps the insurance lump sum -- they can flag her account for large withdrawals.

They can't totally prevent here from giving away her money but they can make her meet with the banker to transfer a large sum

May be:

Go to bank or call financial services to
Change pin #s
Stop on cards and accounts
Get temporary cards and new cards

If on medicare or the like call them. Ask for
The Office Of Inpector General to alert the Federal Trade Commision and the United State Secret Service Department Of US Treasury.

Collect all evidence you can.

That or just research "id teft bank fraud" on the webs.

I really do not know, so don't believe me.
Maybe U could call each financial institution and ask.

Look, you need to shake some sense into her,ok? She's lonely,ok? That's her real problem. Somebody else did all the thinking for her while she sat on her ass and did nothing for yrs.

Ladies, this is why you never let a man do all the thinking for you because you wind up in situations like this. Being completely helpless is your fault!

www.romancescam.com had couple of links that can help you backtrace the emails to wherever it's coming from. Look on the site and ask for a user named FrumpyGal. It's really a man,ok? He is like the site admin and he can really help you with this. I think his name is Frank.

If you can get pics of the fake man the imposter is using, then post them on the site and see if anyone else has come across those same pics.

What is the fake guy's name? There's a fake profile on FaceBook of a Dude from Ghana who is using stolen pics of a man from Spain.It goes under the name Davis Hayward. He's the only white guy there is and everyone else up there is fucking black! But nobody seems to notice this shit.

She is 50 very sheltered never had a job doesn't even have a drivers license. Sometimes calling the police is a VERY bad idea. If I call the FBI can they protect her bank transactions without seizing the only money she has to live off of? I am not sure what is worse in this situation.
 Quoting: catnahalf


Send her one of those Nigerian bank account emails and she will sign her money over to you, if she is that stupid.

Can't you just explain it to her?

Re: HELP! Gullible sister- inlaw-husband dead 4 months fake Nigerian boyfriend. what to do????
Often, in cases like this, if you call the nearest local office of the Secret Service or the FBI, it is possible to convince a Special Agent to call or stop by and visit her, and often this does work well enough to discourage her from being further victimized.

She won't be in any trouble with the authorities. As a previous poster noted, it is not illegal to waste your own money on advance fee fraud (419) under US law. What happens in these cases is that sometimes the target uses Other People's Money to whom she has lied to in order to obtain funds, and That is indeed illegal in the US and one can be charged for that. But that does not sound like the case here, so trying to get Secret Service or FBI to help you is a "can't hurt, might help" sort of thing.

If you, or she, would like to discuss this matter further with me in private, my email is [email protected] and I've been dealing with 419 matters on a daily basis for over 20 years now. I'd be glad to try and help.

Respectfully

I know there are GLP'rs who can give me good advice. Declaring her incompetent would be ...difficult She is on the fast track to the bath house. For the first time in her life she has a little money and nobody can tell her what to do its a damn mess. FUCK why do I EVEN BOTHER THEY ARE NOT MY KIN, HELL I WAS ADOPTED my parents are not even my REAL parents. It is everything inside me that says this is wrong that makes me want to do something why do I even care if these people get screwed.
