I was on a dating website, frequently emailing a scammer I thought was a girl. Till the scammer had ask me for money, I couldn't believe it so like a idiot I asked the scammer to reach me before I send any money an since then a Nigerian has been texting me. I'm so fucking mad I got played like that, over my better judgement for the name of love. I made a mistake of lifetime I'd never forget, I hate scammers so fucking much!! Is there anything I can do with this number? Or whatever, that money ( AN ALOT) is never coming back whatever gets payback!!![/b]

Welcome to 419eater! First, break off ALL contact with the lad from ANYTHING tied to your real life. Second, block the number sending the texts. Third, report him/her on scamwarners.com. As for payback, get a mentor, learn to bait safe and knock yourself out. The world is your oyster.

Welcome to Eater. I'm sorry you found us like you did. Unfortunately, the simple fact is the money is gone and nothing can really be done to get it back. Scam Warners (www.scamwarners.com) is a great place for support and a place to post your experience and information you have on the scammer. This will severely cut into his future success as others search for his email address and/or phone number.

I agree with everything said above, right up to this:

We never encourage someone to bait someone out of revenge. It's just not wise as you need to be clear-headed and able to walk away without a second thought. Instead, you would be emotionally vested.

^ That makes sense. I withdraw that comment as bad advice.
