Example of a Dating Scam Email
Hannah Daniel, sends you a Nigerian Scam Email via a Dating
Website
Hannah Daniel is another example of a dating scam. It's the traditional
Advance fee Fraud, just send via a dating website. If you are active on online dating
websites, or via classifieds, chat rooms and forums, beware. Some reports
indicate that as much as 30% of the personalities are scams:
- either scammers set out to part you from your money;
- fake profiles intended to redirect you to another website (porn,
gambling or even another dating website); or
- real people looking to date... but they are not who they claim to be!
Even the biggest and oldest dating websites, such as Match.com, eHarmoney,
AOL, etc., are not immune to scammers. Dating has changed since the advent of
the internet and you have to be knowledgeable and have you guard up to find true
love, instead of a real scam!
Here is one report of a scam email. See this page for more examples.

director for a reputable and trustworthy person l can do business with and

l am Hannah Daniel the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs Daniel Koroma.My
father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan here, the economic
capital of Ivory Coast, he was poissoned to death by his business associates
on one of their outings on business. My mother died on the 20th october 1988
and my father took me so special because l am motherless. Before the death
of my father on 29th november
2001 in a private hospital here in Abidjan, he secretly called me on his
bedside,when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why?
(1) he conplained that I am too young to be managing my life,
(2)that I have not finished my university education as he planned for me,
(3)no body to take care of me again as a young girl, but after much crying,
he still passed an instruction to me that he has a sum of US$9.500.000.(NINE
MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) left in a security
company here in Abidjan, that he used my name as the only daughter for his
next of kin in deposit of the funds. He also informed me that the security
company where he deposited the consignment (box) does not know the real
content of the box because he declear it as family valuable for the safety
of the money.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was
posisoned by his business associates , that l should seek for a God fearing
foreign partner in a country of my choice where l will transfer this money
and use it for proper investment purpose ,that I must finish my university
education by the help of a business partner abroad,that he or she should
help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country.
He also gave an out standing instrution to the security company that the
consignment must be transfered outside this country before use, this is to
make sure that I did not begin to make use of the money here so that his
enemies will not get at me.
I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more. l
am honourable seeking your assistance in the following ways.
( 1) to provide a bank account into which this money will be transfered to.
(2) to serve as my gaurdian in your country while I will depend on your

your country. Moreover sir, l am willing to offer you 15% of the
total sum as compensation for your effort /input after the successfull

What can you do to avoid being scammed on dating websites Scammers are
present everywhere on the dating websites. Even if you use established dating
websites, like Match.com, eHarmony, etc., and even the women say they live in
your own country, you may be scammed. Before you invest your emotions into a
long distance relationship, compare what they say against common sense.
Someone who claims to be in love without, sight unseen, never having met you in
person, is mostly a scammer or simply unbalanced. Apply the same common sense
rules of safe dating online as you would in person. |
