This is a scam, guy will friend you on facebook, and say he is American, but stationed in Nigeria. Comes on very strong, and I knew instantly he is a "Catfish."  I admit, I was having fun with him ,but things just  never added up. ALL the red flags were there, Blazingly there.  I wanted to see where he was going with this and then today it happened.  He said his dad, in New Jersey, has a birthday tomorrow, and forgot to send him something. Would I help him get something to him? Now I am all about helping people in need, so I was wanting to know if this guy was real and the dad was real. I wondered if he was wanting me to send lets say flowers for example to his dad, from him.  I would call it in, use my debit card, and have flowers delivered to him tomorrow.  This is just in theory now, I was fishing him along to see what he was really wanting. (I was not going to do this, just see if he was willing ) But of course, he didn't want to go that route! (The most logical)  He wanted to buy something so beautiful for him in Nigeria! So he literally asked me to send him money, "800$" Is what he put, what the heck is that?? So that's when I pulled the plug entirely, for a little while, this was entertaining, then it just got ridicoulous! I'm reporting in hopes he doesn't get someone that is not in on to his game... Good luck!!
