I met a woman at an agency last September and I have been emailing and talking to her on the phone since.

A couple weeks ago she told me she was having trouble with the university- she had been going to law achool at night- and needed money. I asked her what she needed.

She tells me $2500 or $3000- she gave me the figure in dollars- and I told her I didn't have that kind of money. She expressed embarrassment at having asked. A couple days later I sent her $300.

A couple days ago she tells me she needs my address so she can send me something. Today she tells me she still needs my address, and my social security number.

I called her and asked her why she wanted it, that it was very private. I also emailed the agency to ask them what the deal was.

I can't think of any possible legitimate reason she would need it. She emailed me back and said if I didn't trust her the was no reason to waste more time.

I wish she had done this a long time ago, instead of waiting seven months.

Whenever anyone asks for my social, I politely remind  them that in the US
 that number  is only given to the government or a potential employer.

I can't think of any reasonable explaintion for needing your social security number unless she plans to steal your identity after picking your pocket.

Capt

that makes no sense to me at all for her to ask you for your ssn. your address is one thing your ssn is crazy you did the right thing by not giving her the number.

which agency? This one will still be looking and she might have a few friends there. . .

1st,

never send a girl $$$$ unless its for internet fees or to pay for internet services if she does not use a  internet cafe. or for some transportation.
 
 if she is not your girlfriend, never send $$$$, and even if she is, question why



never send your social #  home address and phone # or bank account #   , it sounds like she is trying to give you a " glut trip" to give her the info.

i see no reason why she would need this other than to  do something bad with it.

did you inform the agency you met her in, that she is asking for this info. if one of my girls were asking for this info, i would be the 1st person to call her and ask why she is asking for this.

WOW!

I do not know why you would send her $300.  I tend to not trust agencies.  You never know what the agency tells these girls before hand.  It's a business all around.

If you are looking for a special person, it is much easier and more effective if you buy the contact info.

I love traveling to meet the women but, one thing I  have discovered is that money concerns tend to arise. However, there are some special women out there that are genuine,

Where did you meet this young woman?

[dennislevy]

She didnt waaste the seven months, you did.

You met this girl in September, havent seen her since, and you sent her $300!!!!

I can only shake my head.

I hope to God Im wrong, but is the agency in Bogota, and does this aspiirng lawyer s have the initials KZ

7 months before moving in for the money.  That's odd.  I didn't think the sharks had the patience to circle for that long.  Yeah, check with the agency.  See if somebody didn't get a hold of her contact info while she is away on whatever personal business and was posing as her to scam you.  It might not be your original girl.  If you don't get satisfactory info from the agency, dump them all as a bad bet.

UH??? Talk about bazaar
Needless to say and for the X time NEVER SEND ANY $$$. With that out of the way...

I have heard this thousands of times, It all seems great and one morning POW you get "The E-Mail" the perfect girls does the imperfect act of asking for cash. I have to add that this time this one went a little too overboard. What is she studding to become a rocket scientist?

Now asking you for you SSN is messed up...I would have to say that I agree with the idea of scam trying to played by someone who stole her identity.


I could not help not sharing this little cultural difference that popped in my mind as I was reading this. Some people down here think that SSN is the equivalent to the "Cedula" the form of ID used in Colombia and have the idea that it is required as a form of Identification in the US.

Keep your hands in your pockets, you eyes wide open and your feet on the ground. Don't Idolize ppl.

 Capt. Jim,
 
         It’s not that uncommon for a scammer to string a guy along for months before trying to get some money out of him. I have known guys that this happened to and they found out the woman had been stringing several guys along. I’m not saying that happened to you but it is a possibility.The fact that she asked for your SSN is just too fishy. You also said that $2500 or $3000 was too much but then later sent $300. Have you been sending her money all along?
         From your post you said that you met her once and then emailed and telephoned afterward. I know that long distance relationships aren’t easy but how well can you get to know someone by telephone and email? Throw in a language barrier and that can be even more of a challenge. It could be said
that what happened to you was just the old “fickle finger of fate” but I bet if you think about it, there are things you could do next time that would increase you chances of success. Don’t worry too much about losing 7 months. There are guys that I know of that went through the entire visa process only to be sucker punched when she arrived. I never experienced that myself but I came very close. Just do your best to get to know the next woman and pay attention.

Ladies and gentleman,

This happens all the time, girls working men for $$$, it isn’t nothing new; it’s a common practice around the world. It started in Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine and some smaller countries, but now has spread to Colombia, Peru, panama and some parts of Asia.

Think about it, a girl can work 5 to 10 prospective suckers; also know   as “friends” or “mi amor” per month. If they get  just one or two to send them just  $ 150 to $ 300  they have made a month to 2 months worth of salary, not bad work for a few hours of typing per day.

  I had a friend who told me about her cousin who was doing this in Colombia, she was on just about every internet dating site, Amigos, Colombian cupid, Latin America cupid, badoo ect, working men for $$$$  and she was good at it. She was pulling in about $ 700 per month on average for a few hours of work per day.

That’s the problem with internet dating sites, you never know what or who you’re dealing or talking with.

"That’s the problem with internet dating sites, you never know what or who you’re dealing or talking with. "

The problem is not the internet dating sites, the problem is guys who are sending money to people they don't really know. Trust is earned not given.

[william3rd]

Hmmmm- he said that he met her. In Person? How close were they? Perhaps scammer is the wrong title for this one.

Captain Jim:

What is it that you wished that you would have done SEVEN months ago?

Nevertheless, NEVER, under any circumstances give your SSN to a woman. Never, Never, Never!!!!!

I discuss this in my book. I was asked for my  SSN too by an woman here in N. America. She said that she wanted me to be here beneficiary. "No!," I said. You don't need an SSN to make me your beneficiary.

Not even when you are married 20 years. NEVER!!!! 

Not even when you go to the Social Security Office to apply for benefits. Let that woman behind the counter figure out your SSN for herself...NEVER!!!!!
