I think that she should contact Canada Immigration. She should lay it on the line exactly what has transpired. Also I suggest that she contact her local MLA..

I wonder where she met the slug.creep,bottom dweller?.Lets hope he's not infected with anything nasty.The nicest people are always the ones to get hurt.Tell her we are all thinking about her.

Joyce.. What a lovely friend you are.. He is a real git...I wonder if anything can be done about him. Pat

Hi Joyce, Lovely gesture the flowers. I'm sure she will be very happy to receive them. What a wonderful friend you are. As Harold said, lets hope the Bar Steward gets his and soon. These morons are parasites. I'm in two minds here what to do with him. Lock him up, throw away the key, until deportation. No costing the tax payer money. Someone take him out into the wilds of Canada and let him freeze his socks off. Yes. Aileen

My heart goes out to her, your friend sounds like a very loving and caring person, I hope she finds the true love she deserves. x

Thanks to you all for your kind words..she doesn't deserve what he's done . In the past she has ,at her own expense , sent truckloads of stuff to Nigeria for the poor people out there and visited there to do charity work . Forgot to say that she kicked him out of her hotel and Immigration are informed..because he has been there only 2 months he will be deported but they say it could take a year. I only hope that he doesn't come crawling back to her and she takes him in again..She said that he is such a smooth talker....She also said that she has never been so heart-broken...She's lucky that he showed his true colours sooner rather than later..he really could have taken her and her business to the cleaners..that's what I think anyway.. I put this up on the board because I knew that I would get some positive feed-back.....I read the boards every day but dont post very often. Cheers to you all, Joyce

Joyce - that's a lovely gesture - I'm sure if you were there with her you'd give her a big hug. Unfortunately there are still many trusting women out there that get 'taken in' by this sort of thing - my alarm bells were ringing before I'd even read the first half dozen lines above. I'm sure she'll take comfort from your friendship :))

As someone who has lived in Nigeria for 6 years, I can say I am not surprised. I also get con e-mails nearly every day from Nigeria, asking for money. Nigeria is the most corrupt land there is - not my words, but from statistics! Very sad, when such nice people fall into these scum's hands. Sylvia xxx

You're a Good Samaritan.

Unfortunately there are lots of Bar-Stewards around like that,Predators just waiting for a lonely woman to fall into their trap. I feel very sorry for her,but it just shows how careful you must be. Hal.

Oh Joyce, my heart goes out to your friend. What a dreadful thing to happen to her. I'm sure she will be uplifted by your kind gift, and that's a really good idea to get the florist to tell her they are from England. Can you let her know that lots of friends on GR are thinking of her. Love and hugs, Mandy x

Joyce - that is a lovely thing to do for your friend - poor lady must be so distraught - she will need her family and friends round her - and as for sending the flowers - that is exactly what she needs - knowing ther are good people out ther

That is really sweet of you, poor girl can she not do any thing about it, if I was her I would report him. Debs.

i think wat u have done is lovely she will b pleased that someone cares lou x

A few months ago I did some searches for a lady in Canada ( her ancestors lived in my neck of the woods ).We emailed regularly..sent me images of her hotel in Canada..chatted on msn..She told me that she was married to a Nigerian chap who was waiting for clearance to go over to Canada to live with her ...married four years but spent only six months together during that time . A very christian lady ..lots of charity work and suchlike. Any way , to cut a story short ,he got to Canada 2 mths ago , and in the last 4 weeks we haven't corresponded ( I've had flu ). Today she emailed me to tell me he was a con artist , married her only to get into Canada...has had affairs there (already ) and a girl in Nigeria is pregnant by him . What kind of a heel is that ?? Poor girl is distraught ....been to counselling this morning.. I must say that when she first told me about the marriage and circumstances I had a sneaky feeling that he was up to no good...but what could I say ?? I've told her today how I felt at the time and it seems that her family thought exactly the same ...I thought that it was me being cynical!!! I feel so sorry for her , anyway I ordered a flower arrangement to be delivered tomorrow.. I asked the florist in her hometown that when they ring her to arrange delivery to tell her that the flowers are from England.... I wouldn't like her to see them not knowing who sent them until she read the card ...wouldn't want to upset her if she was thinking HE had sent them......they might end up in the bin.....what do you reckon ???
