I have met someone that needs help really bad. 5 years ago she visited Nigeria and her parents were killed, leaving her stranded, she was born in FL and live as an American till she was 22 and got stuck in Nigeria. There has to be some law that provides aid to people in her situation there just has to be I cant believe that I live in a country that will just turn its back on someone in her situation. Please If anyone has any info to help me please email me at RMu7984331at aol dot com.

how well do you know this person? If a close friend, why haven't you paid for a ticket so she can leave and come home?

I met her 3 months ago but i am going to school right now and only have a part time job and have no help at all with school so all the money that i have is going to just keep me in school and i just thought that i could find some other way to help her till a can get some money

Her ticket will cost $1700 she has saved up $750 I have tried to find a cheaper flight but it is so screwed up that you can fly from the US to Nigeria round trip for around $600 but i cant find one flight out of there

I'm sorry, I'm not buying it. Sounds like you are getting set up to lose some money.

Where is the rest of her family?

The US Consulate should be able to make arrangements for her to come home. If she is an American citizen, eventually her Visa to Nigeria will expire and they will have to send her home anyway.

I agree with the assessment that it sounds like you are being set up here. If this person should ask for you to wire any money or to send anything using a credit card, debit card, or any bank account number, do NOT buy it!

Have them contact the consulate, and then do your dealing to assist her through the State Department. Too many scams come out of Nigeria these days.

I have a great solution to her problem. I just received an email from Mr. John Zuanda, who's father was the Minister of Oil in Nigeria. When he died, Mr. Zuanda's father had hidden $28 million US in a foreign owned bank account. He just needs someone from the US to help him get the money out... and she will get to keep 50% of all the money.
Have her contact me, and I will be glad to forward Mr. John Zuanda's email particulars to her.
Wow!!! I just love it when the system works.

If I had money to just give away i would not care if it was a scam but i dont so I am not going to send any money to her b/c I dont know if she is who she says she is and that is why I am trying to get her here with out sending money b/c I do want to help her if she is for real

 

[GreatwhiteIrish]

Like I said, it sounds like you are getting set up.

Also Carl provided a good link.

 

[GreatwhiteIrish]

I have told her what you have suggested now I know if she doesn't go that she is just trying to get money

 

[GreatwhiteIrish]

I dont know if she has any she as lost her mother and father, if i loose my mother then I will have lost all of my family I have not seen my dad for 12 years my grand mother and grandfather have passed and all of my moms family that are still alive have turned there backs on us. so yes If it can happen to me it can happen to her and no need to bring it up again to let her know that there is no one left that give's a sh!^.
