As you are in QLD here is the link to report this scam to QLD police, you dont have to go to a station it can be done online, its suprising what sort of scams they get upto but if they send out a thousand e mails and get 5 fall for their scam then they are onto a winner. There one lady round here who was scammed on a freindship website, she had been in contact with this very nice man!!! from Canada for some time, then he suddenly contacted her and said he was in an accident and did not have medical insurance could she help, well youve guessed it she sent a cheque (Western Union transfer) smells of Nigeria. Then he asked for more the next thing she is taking out a loan on nher house to help him because he was a very nice man (had photos of him as well). She could not believe that it was a scam and the photo was just taken from a dating site, even when told that western union transfer stinks highly of the nigerian scam, her reply was he was such a nice man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.....
