But since there was no way to check her story, I had to go with it. I didn't have the money for this, but she said her Aunt would lend her $1000.00 of it and all I needed was to send her $500.00. Both of us would be getting the money back as soon as she arrived at my home. I still didn't have the $500.00. We continued to write and I saved up for it and a couple months later, I sent her the money. Now she had $750.00 of my hard earned money and was supposed to be getting her tickets and traveling to my home.

But no, I got another letter the next day asking for $350.00 more. Now she claimed she needed the money for a health exam before they would let her fly. I sent her a letter the following day requesting that she return the money, but she refused to do that...no surprise there. Shelly, is very patient and will wait months for you to send her money. She asks for the money in smaller increments, but in the end it is just as large as some of the other scammers requests for your wallet.
