    If you watched CNBC investigation reports a few months ago, there are very similar scams going on. If this is any similar, "Yissel Abreu Martinez" or "Dolly" or whoever writes these e-mails and gets the money, probably does not really exist. It is generally not even a woman. In one investigation I watched, the "beautiful woman" who befriended the guy and sent her pictures and conducted a lot of correspondence was supposedly a U.K. bussiness woman who flies all over the world, while her attorney takes care of her affairs while she is abroad. Unfortunately she broke her leg while in Thailand and needed money immediately as she could not get in touch with her attorney ... she was in the hosiptal and had to pay for her operation. So she gets $2,000 from the US person. Then more correspondence..finally she makes him a business proposition for investment. By that time, he informed CNBC. CNBC went to London to meet her, instead meets the attorney who apparently got his law degree from London University... To cut the long story short, The woman did not exist. The attoney was not a lawyer not even a college grad but an illegal immigrant from Nigeria. He wrote those letters pretending to be the beautiful woman and received the money. The photographs were of someone from the internet.
