Hello, I am Miss Young. This story is about Lynn that contacted me after sending money to a scammer. She sent me this letter: Go to the homepage to see more stories.


Subject: Charles Soludo
Miss Young, I am so glad I found your website. He has contacted me several times before. I sent $250 dollars to him once via Money Gram, but he claimed they could not use Money Gram, so I went and got my money back. prior to sending that money I prayed to God for a sign. When he emailed me saying they couldn't use Money Gram, that was my sign. He has still been contacting me from time to time, but now since I found your website, he'll never hear from me again. Thank you so much I would like to post all the emails I got from him on your website as well. Please send an email explaining how this can happen. The more people that can show how they were or almost scammed by him, the more will know he's a snake. Please don't post my name on the website. You can use my nickname "Lynn".


I have had contact with the same scammer earlier. Read about it here.

Read Lynns story below. Some of the letters Lynns sent are missing, but you should be able to understand it anyway.

LOL...I didn't realize how many relatives I got in Africa until about a year ago. They should all be dead by now by the amount of e-mails I get on this. By the way, my mothers side was from Norway and my fathers from Germany.....I guess quite a few of them must have head for Africa!:rolleyes:

I watched an episode of Judge Joe Brown one time where the sister borrowed $2000 to set up an account so all this money could be transfered to her U.S. account.....she told her sister that her kid needed an emergency operation, the reason to borrow the cash. But instead of paying it back after being scammed she felt that since she lost out....the sister should take the loss. REAL nice sister!

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

I've had several emails along those lines, and of course they're all scams. How dare they make me go to all the trouble of clicking delete to get their crap off my screen!
