7. What else to say?





I could not believe that in spite of all emails and efforts I have given to this case I have received very little response.
Firstly, I warned Microsoft about the scammer and adviced them to block the account - no response.
Secondly, I wrote to both my national embassy in Nigeria and the Nigerian one in my country - no response
Thirdly, my mother talked personally to Interpol about that case. She was told that since the administrative procedure takes up to 6 months (official translations etc), there is no chance to prosecute them - they will have been gone by the time legas authorities finally start doing something about it. I was very upset, because I put much reliance on that. As I said, I was able to locate them - only thing that needs to be done is to check the internet provider and ask for the name of the users. It would be possible to haunt for them, but - nobody will ever do so much effort to do that.
Lastly, I contacted few hackers with an imploring request to crack the scammer's account, block it and send all other potentional victims that it is a scam. As usually, no response to it.
I think that I would have written even to Mother Teresa if she could have helped me. As I found out later, we were not the only ones - internet is full of peple who were takein in by rental scams and I personally know about at least 6 people in my university who share the same fate.
In the end, I would like to thank to every police officer and volunteer who fight against scammers - you do the right job so please do not give up.
Lastly, sorry for any mistakes or spelling errors. Believe me, I do not feel like reading that all over again and reminding it.

Thank you for reading and sharing this with others

sincerely
