Beware of scammers from the state of Florida.  They are running some sort of scam.  They claims she is stuck in Africa, needs money to pay their hotel bill.  They wants approximately $600 in addition to airfare back to the state s.

the hotel theyclaims to be registered in does not exist according to google.

Don';t let them scam you

Ah sod it, we all come across these 'artistes', the knack is to discern them before they spill their beans. Me, I stipulate my requirements, up front in my journal, that ignored, I create more work for the CM admin or whatever they use to obliterate spam.

The other thing of course, is I click on the ''view forum posts'' before I do anything, no input on here, then I am wary.

If you send money to someone claiming to be stuck in Africa, you deserve to get taken.

I once had an IM conversation with a woman who claimed to be stranded in Africa.  She asked me for money, and I patiently explained to her how the US Embassy there could help her out.

Hey DarkSteven - I think I had that same conversation with that same person.  Did she insist that the hotel manager had taken her passport?  :D

FOR FUCKS SAKES.

Are people really THAT hard up that they honestly believe this Bullshit?

I get Angry when I find out how many people actually fall for this shit because it would seem that that many people being THAT stupid should be a sign that there is something wrong with the education system yet no one puts these things together.

Sheeesh....I get one of these contacting me every month.  It is the most common of the scams on the internet and has been going on for years. You just now discovered it??  wow!!    If you fell for it bragging about being taken in is a bit silly.  Read the top of your mail page.....Collarme warns you about sending money to those you do not know. 

You had to research before knowing it was a scam??!!

You fuckers....I was stuck in Africa for the last ten months.  You thought I was on moderation?  Fuck no.  I  was knee deep in death.  If it wasn't for the cunning of my trusted guide Manfred, I might never have escaped the charms of the cameroonian subs....

I ask you fuckers for a few hundred bucks to get home, What do I get?  Bubkiss....You cheap fuckers...you'll gladly spend a hundred bucks on a flogger but won't part with a dime to help a fellow American in need.  Rot in Hell.

Women who speak French or so fucking sexy whilst taking it in the pooper. I have no idea what it means but I think she said ..."Boner."  She is so lovely. If it wasn't for my man, Manfred, I would never have found the strength to leave.

You are a dirty whore.

It's true...If you would have sent me cash you all would have been nothing but enablers....Enabling me to get some of the finest fucking pussy North of the Cape.  

I can feel the Dark Continent calling me back home....Or perhaps that is all my Camaroonian baby mama's voices ringing out in unison.  Either way, I hear Brazil is nice this time of year....Carnival!!!

Domi - I would have bailed you out but I needed some new countertops.  Money's kinda tight, y'know?
