They may opened generic lines that do not show
they remember you, such as “HOW ARE YOU MY LOVE” – if you confront them on forgetting your
details, they just ignore than move on
The process is standard:-

states “ looking for a real. Lifelong,
true soul mate to give my all to” (its sounds to be good to be true, it
is). If you are a man looking for a woman. Its likely you are emailing a
Nigerian male)

sent one week, ofter 5 paragraphs that sells a nice person. These are canned
letters.

else)
By the Fifthe Week:-

deal and get your credit card or have you mail the check.

If you are balking, they
will:-
a) Use a sob story more and more; or
b) Get down right nasty and abusive “Don’t you love me. You are
uncaring person”.

If they can get even a
minimal money from you, they can empty
your account

are cons and good at what they do
2) They
could trick you;
3) If
it does happen, check the internet resources for help. But, often you’ll find
emotional support but get little help in getting the money back;
4) They
knows each website and work it well, be
that a Jewish, gay, Islam or older websites
