Nigerian man jailed after fake dating profile scam

[Lurk]

Beware the Nigerian scammer using white man's photo on dating site. $100,000 gets you $16,000 (if the authorities get involved, that is).

"It got pretty intense fairly quickly," the woman told South Bend, Ind., television station WNDU-TV in July on the condition the station not use her name because she was embarrassed that she fell for the scam. "Lots of passion and attention."

But the scammer had a sublime sense of irony.

The photo used on the Hagan profile was taken without permission from Montana Attorney General Tim Fox's campaign website.

In August, Fox's spokesman, John Barnes, said the attorney general was upset his image was used. He noted the con artist chose the photo of someone who oversees consumer protection and warns of scams.

Sending money to someone you never met in person.
Was she in heat or what?

All the dating sites caution people NOT to send any money to people. If it's too good to be true.........
