Okay, everybody! thanks for your input. I feel like such a fool.I will not send him money and am ending this scam RIGHT NOW.You all are right and i am so lucky to have so many friends on DH ! You have helped me to realize that I have been taken.....
But at least i found out before I sent money and I am thankful for that!

Barbara is that really your picture on your profile ? The picture looks like a reasonably intelligent person. This post doesn't match that assumption. I have to travel occaisionally. I don't carry cash. I carry Travelers Checks and Credit Cards. If lost or robbed, both can be replaced overnight anywhere that FedEx or UPS service. I'm gonna guess that a large part of the money is to buy his ticket home. I won't even fly from Greenville to Atlanta without a round trip ticket, and no way in hell will leave the country without one !! It sounds like his whole story is one big lie, probably including his name.

You are most welcome Barbara
There are some great folks of both sexes in this crazy world of ours
It's just a crying shame that a few bad apples can make decisions and trusting very difficult
Have faith and life can be pretty darn good
And congratulations to all that have offered you help in this matter ,some of these folk have proven to be your true friends...that alone must give us all great hope

Pwin nailed it....
I might have added; How long have you known this guy, to fall in love? I would think you would have a great deal of background on him to trust him enough to fall in love.
For the record, I would never ask a girlfriend for $$. And Pwin was right again that if he can call you he can call his bank!

Hi Barbara, I'm pleased you opened up with this and are doing the right thing...
There are scammers on every site... as soon as you hear a bad luck story and the country of origin 'Nigeria' delete it/block it... this is the best advice anyone can give you.

thank god you came to you senses, I was going to tell you if you send him money do it in person ,and while you are there, pick up this 7.5 million thats supposed to be in a safty deposit box , and they only need your checking account no. its always a scam , you seem reasonable smart, your pics look nice , youve got great legs, so walk away from anything that looks like this ,
