Asking for money

Submitted by Christine (United Kingdom), Feb 2, 2014 at 06:32

Would you pay for your girlfriends school fees in Australia ? 24 is a little old to be doing a diploma . If she is in private college then there will be fees .State education is free in Morocco ,there are fees for books . If you send 700 usd ...this will just be the beginning ...Next she will ask for help with other problems .I am not saying she is a scammer ,there are a lot of poor people in Morocco . If you help her she will ask for more .If you don't help her ,she may stop communicating with you . Never ever send money to someone that you have met online . Ask her to send a photo of the bill for 700 usd and offer to pay the fees to the college directly if you really feel that you want to send the money .
