Dodgy trojan Email?
I was on a dating website and there was a built in messenger chat room but several girls said the prefered to chat using yahoo messenger is there any reason they would want to use yahoo rather than the site chatroom.
They said they were from nigeria but their photos were of european girls?
Is it possible to access your computer from a yahoo email if it is opened?
The payment method was Netbanx, is this a recommended payment gateway?
Is there anything to worry about?
Thanks.

Whatever you do, DO NOT SEND INFORMATION of your bank account, or DO NOT send any money even if it is to secure 23 million dollars ...
yahoo, like any chat program has it's faults but I believe they want to get you away from the site so as they dont break and rules and can reel in more victims after you.
Your post here sets of several alarm bells and I bet it isn't the whole story. Report these people to the dating site admin. If they are legite they have nothing to worry about, if they aren't then you could of saved your life savings and possibly your insanity.
Read the first part I just wrote, why are you enquiring about netbanx? do a search for nigerian scam on google, be safe and dont become another victim
