| Lonely divorcee Kate Roberts. |
A ditsy mother of three handed £80,000 over a period of nine months to a Nigerian scammer she met on the Friends Reunited Dating website. The man who posed as an American soldier going by the name of Sergeant Ray Smith, successfully dug an internet burrow into Kate Roberts heart and was able to extort the vast sum through setting up a fake internet profile accompanied by dashing pictures of himself as a soldier dressed in the US Army regalia. "Sergeant Ray Smith" made frequent calls to Kate Roberts in his distinctive American accent.He even got his "Captain" to place calls to Ms Roberts assuring her of his departure date for Britain.

The ruse finally came to an end when Sgt Smith abruptly stopped calling Ms Roberts after she handed him £12,000.She contacted his base who had never heard of him.Her mobile phone company traced numbers "Sgt Smith" had used to a Nigerian mobile. Ms Roberts has had to sell off her house to pay her mounting debts she amassed from funding "Sgt Smith". She also had this to say : 'Aside from losing the money I feel like I’ve lost the love of my life. I know he wasn’t real, but the feelings were real to me and that’s very difficult to come to terms with. Hundreds of other women must be getting conned right now.' It is now easily understood how she arrived at such folly with such a luxurious foolish deep statement heavily encased in stupidity and presented in a pink foil wrap of sheer dumbness.
I am convinced Nigerian scammers studied Psychology modules at university.Natural born actors who put to shame all "trained" Oscar winning actors.Connoisseurs in the fine art of scamming.Mozarts in the sweet music of lies, one can almost admire them. They represent the human brain at its nadir. Each new scamming story outshines the other but then again the Grand Masters of scam remain Madoff & Stanford: the Godfathers of 419 at its finest - home grown and reared in the USA. Nigerian scammers are nothing but waiters at the tables of these talented US cheats who have picked up 10% tips from the Grand Masters themselves.

This is very sad. I feel so sorry for this woman and I only wished that this had not happened to her. She was vulnerable and someone took advantage of her. This is really a sad story and I just hope that others can learn from such mishaps. I am sure you would agree with me that being a scammed victim is not funny.
