Answer 1

how in the world can you even talk to someone that asks questions like this, the embassy is the one who will ask you questions, not him! please beware! he will find a way to rob you! do not contact him again and erase him from your contacts, now !

BEWARE !

Answer 2

it is a scam,.....

Answer 3

SCAM.

Answer 4

This is a scam.  No doubt about it.  Nigeria nationals are well known for running all kinds of scams.  This one is very transparent though!  You may want to notify the INS.  You might help them find the a source for some of the scams.

But don't fall for it!!!

Answer 5

Scam:

Clues

Nigeria

W-2s

Bank Statement

Employment Verification.

He would need to apply to the Nigeria department that authorizes travel.  The US might ask HIM for HIS documents, not you for yours.

Sorry sweetie, he does not love you and one of the news shows (20/20? 60 Minutes? Dateline?) did a show on this exact thing.  He will either steal your identity or convince you to send him your money, or both.

And it doesn't matter how much you give, he won't come.

Sorry.

Answer 6

Scam, goodbye identity

Answer 7

As everyone else says, this is a scam to steal your identity and empty your bank account.  US embassies NEVER ask for this kind of information from the US hosts of foreign visitors; every visa applicant must apply on his own and convince the consular officer that he qualifies for a visa without reference to the host at all.

Honey, don't even bother to blow him off.  Just delete his email address and find a better quality boyfriend.  One who already has or can get a US passport.

Answer 8

Do NOT do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 9

Scam..................

You can send him an invitation but nothing more under ANY circumstances.

Answer 10
