She didn't agree when I made the offer, and she didn't refuse either.
She said I am very helpful but it might be too hard to accomplish.

It's called a Long Con and you are the mark...how about you forget all this sending money nonsense to someone you will NEVER meet and maybe take a walk in the sunlight and go meet some women in your area that you can actually talk to in person instead of some broke a$$ play money dude posing as a chick.

I actually saw this on Dateline.

They were tracking packages tied to fraudulent activity in Nigeria and they also showed rooms full of men on computers in Nigeria and neighboring Benin that spent all day pretending to be women in desperate financial need to con people into sending them money over the internet.

In an effort to give this thread some relevance to legislation, he could choose between

a. burning his money, or

b. giving it to a fat hairy DC lobbyist for their work on the 2010 Reid bill ban.

In the very unlikely chance that "she" is really a she and might have a body that resembles Kim Kardashian send her a plane ticket to your country with the promise that you marry her.

For the sake of the thread ask him, i mean her, to send you a picture of himself, i mean herself and at least we would all have something to look at. Chances are the scammer, i mean her, will send you a picture of Kim Kardashian and that would be great.

What game do you play and at what site? The times you play would be good to.

Good luck.

I recently got an e-mail informing me that a count from a foreign land needed to transfer $34,646,289.10 into my bank account to help him with an inheritance. Once I give him my bank acct. number, and other personal information, of course.

Once this clears I'll be glad to help her out.

Interesting how ?? The prior post I was referencing discussed giving money to a " fat hairy amenian scam artist". In order to make the reference as close as possible, I substituted "DC lobbyist" for "armenian scam artist" from the original post.

I have no idea which DC lobbyists or whether any Armenians might in fact be fat and/or hairy. (I personally am both and also old, but am not a lobbyist nor Armenian)

A few months ago I met a special girl online in a chat box. She is from Armenia and she has graduated in college. During the last few days, she told me how hard life is over there. People like her work their a$$ off to make $300 per month. 40 hours per week with a degree in pharmacy. With that money they have to pay for gas bills and electricity.

Since $300 doesn't mean ***** to me, and it makes a huge difference for her, I came up with the idea of sending her my poker winnings every month.
It would change her life for the better

Now..

If I tell her to make a poker account, and make sure it is linked to a bank account number, can I transfer my poker winnings to her so she can withdraw my money?

Or are poker sites going to object and should I send her my poker winnings via my local bank?

Even though I will never meet her, I respect her a lot and want to make her life more easy.

And in case there are Armenian players over here, is it legal to have a poker account in Armenia?
Have you talked to your parents about this? If not why? You come here asking complete strangers a question you should be able to ask either of your parents or someone else close to you. See what thier reacion is. They know you better than anyone on this forum. I'm betting they tell you to NEVER send money to someone you casually know over the internet. I don't care how many hours you've "chatted" with the other person, it's still a casual relationship.

Good luck with your choice.

FWIW, when I first read it I interpreted it the way TPxCEO says he meant it.

Special as in hard working, well educated, morals and values..
Dude I don't wanna marry her or smth.
I have enough female attention and I don't want anything from her.
You're just way too superficial to understand

I didn't expect anything else since 95% of all winning poker players are egocentric capitalists. But I don't know why you feel the need to go after people with good intentions

Actually in a twisted kinda way they also have good intentions. They're trying to prevent you from giving your money away and finding out you were scammed. They probably think you'd be hurt if you eventually found out that this person is not who they claimed to be.

That and people are having a little fun making jabs about you being super naive. They're exaggerating of course but that's a part of humor. Just be aware of the risks if you start sending this person money.

The fact that you think a woman is special is not the funny part....

If this question is real, then at least your heart is in the right place.
You are clearly putting yourself in bad situations though. Even if she turns out to be 'real,' as a general rule its a bad idea to send money to people you met "online in a chat box." Obviously, general rules are all we have to go on, so that is what our advice will reflect. If you have some other knowledge, or some subtle nuances you've picked up that lead you to believe the situation is genuine, then good for you, but why would you then ask strangers for advice about it?

Furthermore, why are you wasting your time asking pointless questions and then responding to flames?
If you want to send someone you've never met money, then go ahead and do it, it doesn't require any special knowledge.
Just wire the money like any ****ing normal person and shut up, there is nothing complicated going on here.
