Anthony Who?



Extract from conversation FLIGHT
Anthony Brown: so i thought maybe i could ask you
Anthony Brown: right now i need to get a flight ticket for tomorrow evening to heathrow and i am about 150
sandreasimons: right so how can i help
Anthony Brown: to add up to what i have
Anthony Brown: so i could get a BA ticket
Anthony Brown: so i was wondering if u could be of a little assistant to loan me that till i get back on thursday
sandreasimons: i'm not sure i have the funds usually i would have lots but i have ot pay my fees by the 22nd which are 3500 pounds


After Anthony asked me for the money for his flight home so many things went through my head. Could a wealthy businessman not get help from the bank in a foreign country? Why would he ask a girl he’d never met before surely I way down his list of people to rely on? What if he was telling the truth and I was doubting him? am I too trusting? Am I being gullable?
I rang a friend in the end and asked her what she thought, she said I should go with my instinct. So the only way I could sort it out clearly was to check the address of his Hotel that way I would be sure it exsisted at least.


There was no Hotel with the address he’d given me, the address he had given me was a notorious area in Nigeria for scams. The moment I foud out my stomach turned over I felt sad that I had been drawn into this fantasy and that it was over. I felt embarrassed to have fallen for it this far, and for all the day dreams I’d had about us together.

However as an artist I knew I would be able to salvage something from this ordeal.
