I am buying this for a friend as compensation when he comes back from his tour, he is the one who takes me around on wheel chair before the operation whenever I need to go out and help me with more other things that might prove difficult for me to do, I hope you have imagined and understood the kind of situation I am in. Willing to round up this transaction before weekend thanks and delete posting from craigslist
P.S. I am having some difficulties with my paypal account presently and need that to be resolved very well, money was transfered off it without my notice, so I had to file a complaint to the Resolution Centre, I'm waiting for response though, but since I can send out the payment in full as soon as tomorrow I dont think we will have problems with that. Merry xmas in advance. Do these people think we haven't seen Dateline? What a crock...

A guy on social city dating website has contacted me to chat. After a few sessions he mentioned to me that he is not able to remove his money that the Ghana Government paid him for a mission he has done. He called himself Major General Mart de Kruif. He even got the bank in Ghana to contact me Dr Abubakar Danlami to verify that the money he need to send to me is authenticated by the department of Justice in Ghana. I made two payments which amounts to approximately 1820usd and it had to be paid through western union bank. They now asked for another 3300ucd to get the money released and i have just realised that i have been scammed. the email address that is being used is generalmajormartdekruif@rocketmail.com. I contacted the international fraud authentication and they informed me that the certificate i received for the moneys to be transfered into my name is fake. Please dont get caught.
I dont know if i am being scammed please help. I am using the social city website on the net to meet people. A guy by the name of Chris Morgan said he wanted to chat. I accepted. We were chatting for 3 days when he told me that he is very worried because he did a job in swaziland and now the company he worked for wants to pay the money to him but he is not available to sign for it. He told me that it is cash money. I told him ok i will help because i was stupid. He told me that the people will get in contact with me to give me the money. I had to pose as his wife. Ofcourse i did not go through with it as i got quite anxious about this situation. He mentioned that they are staying in a hotel near OR Thambo International Airport in South Africa. What will they try next
