Do you think this is a Nigerian Scam?
I'm well aware of these scammers and their tricks..and this girl im talking to..from a dating site..well she seems to be doing all the tricks..wether its coincidence or not I don't know..but some of the typical things are...she is originally from the US..Living with her granny as her parents died..She is very pretty..she needs a loan of money to renew her passport and come meet me via western union.( I won't be doing this ).when i said i would mail the money she objected and said she wouldn't recieve it..and she gave me a postcode that was 5 digits......heres the tricky part for me....I have seen her on cam and she is real...and I have spoke to her on the phone, I have this number...So could it all just be coincidence ?

You know not all Nigerians are scammers. I'm a Nigerian girl and only prefer dating white guys. Since we have very few of them here, I opted for dating sites. Men get scared because of my location which in turn makes me feel bad being that I'm genuine. The ones I've managed to chat up eventually talk about me visiting them of which I gladly would but haven't been able to.
What most foreigners don't get is that the cost of travelling abroad from Nigeria is insanely high. Most times I let them know I can't afford to but never ever ask for money because I know the reputation of Nigerians being scammers and the implications of sending money to someone you have met online.
She might really want to come over to see you and happens to be bold enough to ask. I know this post is a little too late but if you're still chatting to her, you can suggest you pay the immigration officers yourself as in the case of getting her passport, watch her reaction. Someone like me would gladly agree. If she objects then she probably doesn't want to meet you. Say you'll do all the payments yourself. You can contact an agent who will do everything for her but will go through you. That way you don't give her cash.
If she gets her passport and visa, you buy the ticket yourself and send to her. But then, when travelling, at the airpot, she'll be asked by immigration officers to show her travellers allowance (T.A) to ensure she's capable of taking care of herself abroad. This could be between $1,500 - $4,000 depending on the time of her stay abroad as indicated on her return ticket. If she doesn't have that in hand (cash), she won't be allowed to travel. So if you don't trust her enough, the best thing to do is to come to Nigeria to see her, then travel back with her.
