Book Description

February 14, 2006
Nigerian Scam Artists bilk American, Canadian, Australian, European and Asian victims out of a reported FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR! Their newest and most dangerous scam is Romance Scamming. Using dating sites as their weapon of choice, these scammers win the hearts of unsuspecting men and women (even promising and/or proposing marriage to them). Once they have won the hearts of these people, the scams begin. They first make direct appeals for money. Then they use other schemes to bilk their victims out of considerable amounts of money.

Cyber Love's Illusions is the story of the broken-hearted victims who have often lost everything in pursuit of love; the cold scammers who will do anything and say anything to win the hearts of the unsuspecting; and our "deep throat" connection who gives us an inside look into the Nigerian Cyber Cafes, the sweat shops, and the people who work them.

Learn how to identify the scammers, how readers can avoid losing their money to the scammers, and how to take action against the scammers. Cyber Love's Illusions is one of those few books that can really change the Internet.

This review is from: Cyber Love's Illusions (Paperback)
For anyone who has been scammed, knows of someone who has been or is in doubt of their cyber love, this is the book for you. The authors have dug deep into the research of this book and it explains all that you need to find out if you are dealing with a scammer. It gives you places to go and information about where to send or research your scammer. The stories in this book are real and it is going to make you stop, look and listen. The Nigerian/Russian scam is so large that it will overwhelm you that so many people have been victims. Buy this book, read it and refer to it over and over again...You will not be sorry. Spend the money for the book before you send your "cyber love" any money it is well worth it.
