About Me

I am dedicated to the cause of helping the victims of Nigerian scams. For the past two years, I've been working very hard to educate the public about the scams by going on national Television and giving countless interviews to print media. My primary focus, though, is to warn victims who are about to get caught up in a scam. If the victim has already been scammed, I try to help them find the legal remedies at their disposal.Recently I was on The Today Show talking about the abuse of the Deaf Relay Telephone System by Nigerian scam artists. The Today Show was kind enough to take the time to air the story that I've been working on for so long.. There is also an updated print article on MSNBC.com. here's the link to read the article and to watch me on the Today Show: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15937817/

My Interests

My kids, my husband, and our life together!

Television:

I love so many shows this season! lets see.... Thank goodness for my DVR, so I can watch TV when I have the time, not just 'when it's on'. My favorite shows are... The Sopranos, Dexter, Law and Order SVU, Prison Break, and Without a Trace. Another good one that's new this season is Jericho.

Books:

I read a lot of mysteries. Police investigation books. My favorite authors are: Tami Hoag, John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell, and many more.

Heroes:

My mom and dad. They are the greatest people. They've been married for 44 years, and have always been the best people I know. They adopted me 30 years ago, and have supported me in everything I do. They are also very involved, loving and supportive grandparents. They LOVE their little boys!
