Remember Nigerian Astronaut Air Force Major Abacha Tunde? Still in orbit after 32 years.
is always Good when you have the zeal to be a hitwoman when you out of school,it makes you bold and reall and it makes you more high than any other of your friend.
This is definitely why you will remain and die in poverty, ignorant of good things and easy acknowledgment of bad things and words. Shame on you, you wicked generation children.

I looked at my calendar, and was quite disappointed to see it wasn't April 1st. My goodness, if this astronaut were actually out there, this would be headline news everywhere.

This is a good reminder that even the more "out-there" scams do catch real-life victims. No bait is a waste of time. (Well, it's a waste of time for the lads. ;)) I'm glad the victim figured out what was going on and reported it.

As for the lad, I have nothing to say that hasn't been said a million times before, but... well, they've been said a million times for a reason. Manipulating someone into thinking you're in love with them is despicable. Scamming in general is despicable.

It was brave of the victim to contact the police. Once you realize you've been scammed -- especially with a scam like this -- you tend to feel a lot of shame about it. You don't want to admit it to anyone. You don't even want to admit it to yourself, which is one of the reasons scams like this can go on for so long. Good on this woman for having the bravery and integrity to get out when she did, and to report it instead of deciding to keep it a "shameful" secret.
