Woman read through the scam
Luckily this woman was not that love-struck and saw through the looming scam before she lost her money.

Twitter user @norman_nelufule shared screenshots of a conversation between the man and woman who had met mere days before the situation went down.
The man asked the woman to lend him the money to fix his car as he apparently needed it urgently for work.
After showing little interest in the man’s situation, the smart lady made it clear that she was not giving him a cent. The man tried his best but couldn't get through to her.
“Ladies be careful of love scams,” read the caption to the screenshots.
Social media reactions
Netizens could not believe the man had the guts to ask a woman whom he had just met for over N355k.
They opined that even if his situation was legit, he should have sought help from a family member or someone he was close to, not a lady he just met and was trying to form a romantic relationship with.
@es_vie_:
“I knew this lady was not going to fall for this nonsense by the lack of emojis and short replies. He knew this one is not having it when she said "Talk about what?"
@RudzaFulfilled:
“The worst is that he only met her in class a few days ago, I have never laughed so hard. She is traumatized.”
@BlazerSkyy:
“A thermostat is supposed to regulate hot coolant! How is it damaged by a burst water pipe? This girl is smart she could smell the scam.”
