I had been on the singlesnet.com site for about a month and received an email from Terry Kewve Smith at
[email protected] He stated he was a single father of one son living in Los Angeles, Ca. He had been in the US for about 9 months and was raised in Ireland. He told me that his first wife died in a car accident and the second wife was found in bed with his best friend. He was working for a company out of Houston, TX as a road construction engineer. He received a contract for a job in Nigeria. I checked out the company on the internet and it looked legitimate. He said that he had about 1 to 2 weeks left on the contract and then he would be returning to the US. As we chatted over the next week, he declared he was falling in love with me and wanted to be with me for the rest of our lives. He was sent by God to be with me, etc. On the week he was to leave, he stated that he went to get his airline tickets and was robbed. The robbers hit him on the head with a gun, took all his money and he was now stuck in Nigeria. He needed to get some more money for airline and hotel bills. After a week of begging, his story was that his son woke up and was breathing too fast. When he took him to the hospital, he needed surgery because he had congenital heart defect. He then was again begging for help, telling me that he did not want “our” son to die in Africa. He even would call me and cry and beg for my help. I asked him a bunch of questions; name of hospital, address of hospital, and phone number. I just did not feel right about sending any money until it was all checked out. After 2 days of internet research and www.hosptialworldwide.com searching, there was no such hospital. I am glad that I checked it all out.
