What do you care? Who's paying you to look after the world's stupid people?

This is belligerently stupid on a whole new level. That is pathetic she'd do that.

Sounds exactly like my mother in law.

After my FIL died, it was like he was the the only thing reigning in her insanity.

She met some guy online and he had a "job" for her. She had to open a checking account and let him wire money into it and then she had to wire the money elsewhere. My wife and I both warned her it was a scam but he said he loved her so it was fine.

2 weeks later the bank had a hold on her assets and she owed them all the money that he had her transfer in and away.

Then she meets this POS in Idaho. He refuses to come to SD to meet us, her family, and, after meeting in person once, proposes and she accepts. He then demands she takes out a home equity loan, which he uses to buy a new pickup, has her sell her house, and move out to be with him. He then burns through her remaining life insurance money, then demands she get a job. He works but his income as a Private Investigator isn't so hot (yes, a PI lol).

She moved back here and wants a divorce. He has filed papers of his own claiming the home equity loan and CC debt he incurred was all her doing and she did it without his knowledge.

But my mother in law is a total tool and just keeps making dumb choices like this.

someone send the guy a link to this post.

Anyway...real people do exist in Nigeria, if this chick is looking overseas for a hubby there are tons of people willing to do that to buy in to the US.

Hopefully the wedding is still on when the VISA is denied.
