Question

Answer

DO NOT!!    Tell your parents about this person.

Answer

I agree, don't do it. The others have said why.

Answer

No and never ! How do you know she is poor ? she may has more money then you have !

Answer

I wouldn't do that. You don't know where it goes. Only trusted friends would be trustworthy...

Sending money international can be very expensive. 

There could be real need behind that. Usually it isn't. The internet is a cheap way to address a lot of people. If only a few of them answer you have a nice return of investment. Fraud is not limited to Africa, but search for 'Nigerian Connection' to find out more.

Answer

Lol @ chinafan.

I do agree though. Why would you want to send money to someone anyway, jessica? It's not like the other person is really poor because she can afford to use the internet. I'm not sure if it's a real Nigeria-scam but sure enough she will ask you for more when you send her something once.

Just talk with people who don't want your money.
