any thoughts
HelloEveryone.  I'm Lydia. I happened upon your site by copy and paste of an email I received. Low and behold this site popped up that it was a scam email which I had already known, I mean who gives away millions of dollars to someone they don't know?! But I m actually in the middle of communications with someone that I believe is a Nigerian Scam. and I would like some advice on how to handle it. I met him on a site called ezmatchup.com. I m a single woman and was looking to meet someone with common interest, etc... anyway I started talking to this guy who supposedly is a 6'7" white male from England originally, now living in South Carolina that owns a shipping company and he is currently overseas in Lagos, Nigeria buying some goods for his customers. Long story short as he and I were talking I told him about some problems with my car and he had his "payment officer" send me 2 checks each for the amount of $4,800.00. I was in shock needless to say. Now in the midst of all this he had been telling me how he had fallen in love with me, wants to marry me, blah, blah, blah. anyway I asked him why he sent me 2 checks of such large amounts, when all i really needed was $600.00 or so for the repairs to my car. He 1st said "Well honey your going to be my wife, so whats wrong with taking care of the woman you love and making sure that she's comfortable and gets what she need." then after I kept questioning him about the amount "all this by the way is taking place in the chat at the ezmatchup site" he turned and said "well after you cash the checks and use the $600.00 dollars for your car repairs, just western union the rest to me so i can pay for my goods and come home to be with my love so we can build a life together" I thought what the H_L? oh this is rich! I mean this guy owns a shipping Company and he's having his payment officer send ME money in the form of checks to cash and then in turn send it to him in Nigeria, so he can pay for the Goods and get out of there to come home to me?! So I called the bank about 1 of the checks, and the account had been closed. but i had already deposited the other one into my bank. I really would like some advice on how to bait and trap this guy or guys!!! "legally of course" i mean who do you call the Scam Police".Anybody out there with advice or a similar situation, i welcome your replys.  and thank you for listening.
