Someone on my friends list (also from Africa. coincidence?) has a very similar message (same name) on his notes from a different user. It was posted several weeks ago. It's probably a spambot.

there was a funny topic when they posted which are the next messages that that "girl" sends, it was called something like: "I think she loves me".
One of the messages says that she is living in a refugees camp and that she is a millionarie, but that she is keeping it secret, otherwise they would kill her.

Sure socialista, they always claim to be in some refugee camp in Senegal. The irony is if their millionare claims are true, then the banks in question would have already traced them and got them out of the camp! This trick has been used from the 1990s to date.
Sweeping away comments from Hoax Chess Scam Thank you. Carry on!
The owner of this account http://www.chess.com/members/view/fsdaweslod has sent me a phony message. I have received similar messages on Facebook severally.
Here's the message they send:

The intention is so that I can be lured into giving my personal details like back account numbers etc. and it usually ends with the trickster getting money if you fall for the trick!
