Here is what I got on Sunday, about 48 hrs after he got my money (oh-- this guy is Edward G Jones,
catchlove_joness@yahoo.com, eHarmony: Edward from Clayton, GA). It made me so goddamn mad to have my intellectual and emotional energy sapped by this out-of-the-blue attempt at a seconday scam, that this is why I pretty much stopped beating myself up. I do have to admit that the loss of the affirming messages and phone calls isn't exactly making me thrilled, but what's wrong with me if I am REALLY grieving for the pseudo-romance?
Ok, here's the next (I'm guessing last) part of the scam:

you dumb crap. What do you expect me to do? sell my house and my puppy dogs, and start grooming 10 animals every day until I'm ready to fall into the grave so I can keep some clothing on my back and eat, once I am able to swallow again without puking? your screwing African scam never was funny and I'm choking too hard on tears to pay anymore attention to another single email or phone call from you or the rest of your gang

my second reply, full of the truth, but making it clear that they were assholes for targeting someone of such modest means as me, and wondering if there is one shred of humanity amongst the creeps in this scam ring:
"me" to to nigerdeltamili.

by the way, I guess that you, the kidnapper, picked up two greeting cards destined for Mr. Jones las night. If the contents of those cards would have been read out loud, they certainly would have been an earful. I wonder if anyone is interested in an outcome regarding Mr. Uzor.
I happened to have severe AT&T wiring problems between Tuesday and this afternoon, internet AND voice. On account of the fact that it would have been nice to exchange--no matter how full of intellectual and emotional dishonesty they would have been-- one last set of messages--final farewell messages. What would have been a bit memorable would have been communications aimed at warmth and flattery, and not disclosing that I had just put myself in a position of losing my life savings, messages or a conversation which appeared to be affirming and sweet, it's just too damn bad that the phone was malfunctioning during that time period. You, one of the Niger-Delta assholes, are a human being, too, and you might have actually thrived on some of the happy types of comments I made towards you.
I'm going to ignore the fact that you declared you "don't care" about the state I'm being left in, thanks to your grotesque scheme. I will not have the funds to pay the international long distance calls to UK or Nigeria that I was goaded into placing. But what is even more amusing is that on Thursday, I spend $150 for a haircut and leg waxing. Those funds were, on top of the other losses, dollars which I did not really have at my disposal The beautification services cut into the money set aside for my business adtertising in a church newspaper and my electricity bill. I now get it as to why I heard giggling on the other end of the phone during possibly the last phone conversation that was held, something that was about noontime CDT on Thursday. I ignorantly thought that reporting that I had made arrangements for the haircut and leg waxing were something nice for the gentleman guest who purportedly was interested in arriving in my city for a get-acquainted visit. The smooth feeling of my legs and the sleek hairstyle now make me gag if my mind turns to them.
Have fun with the spoils of your two month-long laying of a criminal foundation, the laying of foundations which would drag me to the point of letting you really clean me out this last week. However, there are some individuals in your line of "work" who might be interested to know that Interpol sometimes can do little to directly investigate incidents, but they are experts in providing tracking of criminal trends and in forensic accounting.
They directed yesterday that my local police had to be contacted first --- turned out to be very simple and well worth the time spent doing so. As soon as the complaint number, police station name, address, phone number, and the investigating officer's name were transmitted back to Interpol by me, they were only too glad to receive a report on your activities, and the Nigerian criminal justice system is accountable to Interpol for progress.
Additionally, our nation's Department of State will be giving attention to your activities regarding one of the two gentlemen whom you are claiming to victimize at present.
tootle-loo.
I'll probably be posting this under many, many topics here. I know it isn't about Jeff Harrison, but the stories from you prior posters were so close to mine, and the moral support some other mbrs of the board offered just struck a chord with me.
