Woman targeted in internet romance scam fights back
On one website, Theresa met a man named Richie.
Richie said he was a Massachusetts contractor working in Nigeria.
"After several weeks, I found myself really thinking of myself having a future with this man," said Smalley.
Richie sent her a teddy bear and said he was looking forward to meeting her. And there was more.
"He said that his boss paid him with U.S. Postal Money Orders and that the banks in Nigeria didn't deal in American currency,
so he asked me if he could send me three of his paychecks to cash at my bank and Western Union him the money."
She did--about $2800 worth. Then came bad news.
"The bank called me and told me the postal orders were phony and I was responsible for paying them back."
Richie vanished.
Scams like this have prompted the FBI to make cyber crime its third highest priority
behind terrorism and foreign counterintelligence.
