Easy money. I'd say something about posting pictures but I'm not quite so crude. ;-)

I became a letter like this me too. And from 3 different girls!! But the most interesting is I tried to search on the net to this name "Dr Wisdom Kewrell" the late father of the 3rd girl, and I found this site - and the same story (its strange!), so thats why Im here.
So I decided I write my story, maybe it can be a cautionary tale..
Im a hungarian young man (thats why I write a little strange in english) and I thought I try to find a couple through a meeting website. And the girls found me there. The girls (they are beautiful african girls - I became nice pictures from them!) are Lucy with 6.5 Million dollar "offer", then Jennifer with 12.5 M(!), and now Victory with "just:)" 10.5 M.. How rich I could be if it would be true!! Or not??
As every human being I was curious what is behind of this (not because the huge money but because it was strange from the first moment, and I wanted to know more about it). The girls wrote the same stories about their late family (who was rich but brutally killed) and about huge money what they inherited because they are the only next of kin. They was praying for help. So I done what the girls told me: I wrote to the (non existing!) banks and I wrote in my e-mail I would like to help to the girls. Then in the replay (and after a few letters from the girls) was clear what is the meaning of everything:
because of the girl's refugee status they have to pay lots of money to make the paperwork (pay for official lawyer, government official rate on the high court for the money transfer) so they need me to pay all af this (about 1000-2000 euros). But I think after I send the money the next step they disappear.
Non the less Im curious (and I think its not about human helpfulness, no, they take the advantage of curiosity of the people) I dont have so much money to loose so I stopped at this point.
Maybe they wrote the truth? I dont know. But this case will be always unsolved for me..
Now everybody can think about if the stories of the girls are true or not, but I'll not make a step more in these cases.
I dont believe in such a miracles..
