Match.com scam

Costa Mesa ?, California

I met this handsome man who I thought was a widow with a daughter - we talked on the phone and chatted on yahoo messenger for three weeks. He told me he loved me within two days and sent me love notes etc... I was asked for money and credit card info and then was scammed out of $400.00. I finally realized that I was part of this dating scam and after listening to the two messages I realized he was not Cuban but from Africa!!!! I was SCAMMED

sorry this happened to you...
FYI,, there are also fraudalent postings from 'Efcc' posters in this site..
Below is a copy and paste from the real EFCC website.. so you and others know in case they try to hit you here...

From the EFCC website:

The most common way of accepting cases by EFCC is through a petition written by an individual or organization. The petition will be evaluated and if the case falls within the purview of the commission's mandate, it will be accepted for investigation and possibly prosecution. Petitions that do not fall within the purview of the commission are sent to the appropriate agency, be it the Nigeria Police Force, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), etc. Members of the public can also send complaints electronically to the commission email address: info@efccnigeria.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

The commission has had complaints and also investigated cases where fraudsters impersonated the EFCC Chairman and other employees of commission in order to defraud them. The public should be aware that EFCC does not collect money to receive petitions and does not charge fee from victims to investigate their cases. Emails messages not emanating from our domain (i.e. bearing @efccnigeria.org) should be verified.

The Operations unit is the investigative arm of the EFCC headed by the Director of Operations. Below are the various sections under the Unit:
