Pregnancy scam help!

I think im being scammed by a woman i slept with under a month ago, she claims she is pregnant and wants 350 dollars for the abortion. I used protection so its already highly unlikely. She also sent me an ultrasound picture but i thought these wernt possible this early into pregnancy, it would also help if i understood the numbers at the side of the ultrasound.

Not only does it say january, it is nothing like what a 5 week us would look like!  it is very blurry, almost looking like an abdominal u/s and if what I am looking at is correct, it appears that the "baby" (not necessairly human either) is at least 10 weeks.  At 5 weeks it is a white background with a very very clear black circle with either nothing or a small fuzzy blob in the middle of it. nothing like this!  RUN!  AND DONT SEND MONEY!

i was going to say the date on the u/s says jan 10 00 or 09. she's so scamming you. and you are under NO obligation to pay for even half of an abortion IF she was pregnant by you. there are no laws that require the man to pay anything. if she wants the abortion so bad she can pay for it herself. so no matter how hysterical she gets you can point out the date and the fact you don't have to give her sh!t.

i agree with the other women...run far far far far away from her. ignore the calls, emails. if she doesn't stop i'd change your number and email address.

Yeah, january for sure.  And if she really was 5 weeks pregnant, the ultrasound would look like a big screen full of white noise with a small pitch black circle in the middle of it.  That would be the gestational sac.  

She's trying to get money out of you... who knows, maybe she is pregnant and wants an abortion, but if so then it's not yours and she's using you to get it done.  Either way, stay away from her---after you very plainly tell her you're not an idiot and her attempt at scamming you was pathetic and obvious.

does the ultrasound show a baby? Oh and not all ultrasound pics have names on it. I have 2 with no name on it. Not even the doctors. But at 5 weeks there should only be a sac and maybe a yolk sac. No baby...

Can you trying re-posting the ultrasound picture?  This will be very telling. If she conceived on the 12th March she would be about 5 weeks pregnant and something can be seen on an ultrasound but it will NOT look like a baby and will not have definition at this point - many women on this forum could tell you instantly if pregnancy by you is a possibility based on the US picture.  If details of baby such as hands, head etc. can be made out then she is lying to you.

To post a picture:
go to My Medhelp (to bring up your profile)
on the photo tap there is an "up load photo" option
in the "locate photo" section there is a browse option - browse your computer and select the photo
click on the green "upload photo" button

It might take a few minutes but this should work

Sounds like she just wants some moolah. Ignore her and run far, far away!

Besides, an abortion is the woman's choice and if she wants to have one (without your consent) she should pay for it.

How do i post the ultrasound? no she wont give me very much, just alot of hysterics. I asked her for the contact number of her doctor or the name of the clinic and she hasnt given it to me, all she has given is the ultrasound and the stub of a postive test from with the name of a doctor I cant find on the internet. She is also from peru where i have just found out abortion is illegal, so im starting to be pretty sure this is a scam

It's unlikely with the use of a condom, but it can happen. If you slept together on the 12th of last month it's possible. You should ask her for more details such as when she found out she was pregnant, when was her last period, what is her due date, etc. If you can get all of that information and then repost this question with more detail and the ultrasound picture (if you still have it) then we might be able to give you a better idea.

Also, just because she says she wants an abortion doesn't mean you have to pay for it. You could try talking to her about keeping the baby or giving it up for adoption. Good luck!

I havent really thought about the possiblity of a child to be honest, im still trying to understand if its a scam. I her name is not at the top, i uploaded the photo but im not sure where its gone here. She said she went to a clinic in her hometown in south america. we slept together on the 12th of last month i believe. she then sent me an email 2 days ago saying shed missed her period then the next day produced this ultrasound and demanded 350 dollars.

yes if you used a condom is very unlikly shes pregnant. she might very well be pregnant but not by you. she might not be pregnant and be using someone elses ultrasound (did you see her name at the top?) i kno a guy whos girl did that to him.  when did you have sex? even if she was pregnant with your child....are you really willing to kill your child?
