I do not know what is happening in Nigeria. Many excroci pose as Christians and have a great persuasion. Talk by David J. Sanders. Sgtsanwomidjs@yahoo.com mail address. himself as a Christian, and says his wife and child died in the bombing of London.
I have not sent money, but he used me to send “donations”, that money he received from women in Nigeria
Minded women that marries them and is very romantic, very nice talk until you’re not agree with him.
Please the soul no longer believe, is a excroc.
Collect a lot of money every month saying that donations are for orphans in Nigeria.
He wants to send money through WU and MG. Do not believe it is a liar.
I asked many questions and I realized that in mind. I am Christian and I know that churches receive money via bank account, not by Wu and MG.
Since I do not help children understand not agree with him, and hurting me, humiliate. I ignore it and everything is in my mesenger.
If anyone knows the police in the city ADO_EKITI, Ekiti State in Nigeria, please contact me at ID my_elena_flo@yahoo.com
These excroci should stay where they belong

I have experience the same as /Debs. the same excuse boxes to ship with awards, medals and US life insurence. But it was sent from Peter James Mcneil.Who has a very well grammar and a lovely way to treat a women. Thanks God I listen to my son and daughter who did notice that it was a scam. Who ever needs money should work for it or ask a family to help him or her. Not a stranger. We must be very carefull.

please will you add my email address as i would like to hear from anyone who as ever heard from capt donald muel.

These men encluding staff sergant james miller are on other sites.

I have asked myself over and over where do they obtain the photos they send.

They all seem to pose as fathers and their wifes have passed away they are
all out fighting in the war.

The men send perfect written emails to begin with then when you start to ask lots of quetions the emails are reduced down to a few lines.

They are all posing high rank men and they start wanting your personal email addy very quick.
The people that are doing this are clever and please do not trust them.

Sadly we all join the dating sites in hope that we are going to find the one person that we let into our heats and trust.

I did a search and found out some information. when you are in the us army no one can apply for leave on that persons behalf leave is not bought.
please email me at

dcarter1@sky.com

I will be happy to pass on this email its very useful and i hope it will help someone else losing money
take care

Since the beginning of November I have been e-mailing a ‘Cecil De-Bright Miller’, supposedly, a Sergeant Major in the US Army currently based in Kabul, Afghanistan who contacted me through Match.Com. He told me he was widowed, like myself, was 49 like me and had a 13 year old son, Mark, who was at boarding school in the US. He told me however that he had a home in Lewisham. It was only after my sister-in-law gave me an article from the Guardian about these scams I became a bit more sceptical, especially when he said he had a ‘package’ of money, medals etc. that he needed to be taken care of but had no family to send them to. It was suppose to be a reward from the Afghanistan Government for the hard work he and some fellow soldiers had done. I was worried a) how legal it all was and b) didn’t want the responsibility of it. When I mentioned why did he not ask the diplomat he had mentioned to place it all in a safety deposit box in a Bank of his choice or that I would have to get some legal advice if he wanted to send it over here, he became a bit more agitated. A few days ago after a couple of hours on the internet my sister-in-law gave me this website and romance.com where lo and behold good old Cecil’s pictures are under various alias’. Cecil never got to ask me for money and had told me he was rich where he had worked so hard all his life. I feel so very gullible.

Has anyone come across Dave Mills – supposedly working in intelligence and humanitarian aid with the United Nations in Pakistan. Based in London.
Nice photo! Met on Friends Reunited in October. Wanted to chat on Live MEssenger. chatted for a month – seemed really nice, interesting – seemed tyo know about UN, apparently grew up in USA, though British, was with Marines before joining UN, moving back to UK with wife. Had son, got divorced. Little things didn’t add up when I checked. Said he lived SE16, then Millwall (which is E14) based in London (no major UN offices in London since 2003,). Wouldn’t phone me, but said i could text his pager if I got him T mobile voucher. Afetr a month asked me for money to pay duty for some stuff he’d ordered for a private deal. Niot allowed to access his account while on tour, could only ise his card, which he had a problem with. Asked me to send to a Barclays BAnk account name Margaret Kent. Foolishly I did – can’t believe it now. Then checked emails form him (not many) and looked up IP address, but I think these were fake cos they located him to the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, and it was a proxy server. On looking up sort code, the bank was in Bolton.A later email had a different IP address. He sent more photos – very nice. Then asked for more money , after a couple of weeks of being very nice, and promising he was due home any time, and wanted me to meet him at the airport etc. I stalled and reported him to the police who have taken a statement and all the email stuff, and convertsations I’d thought of saving. But they’ve done nothing which is so frustrating. I did a reverse look up of the pics on google, and have identified the poor man in the photos from his My Space profile – he is from California, USA. He has loads of photos, and is probably unaware they’ve been stolen. There is nothing to suggest he has anything to do with this. I got a hilarious letter on fake UN paper professing undying love and soppy stuff, supposedly sent from a colleague who returned to England. Definitely Nigerian sounding. Managed to get another account no in name of Nicola Brunning in Cambridge, but have not sent money. So wanted to keep him ‘live’ so police could trace him, but I feel let down by them.
Wonder if these 2 women are victims too.
If anyone has heard of him please let me know. I am a widow, and its hard to believe someone could do this, but hard to believe I fell for it.
It seems different from the soldier scam. But he definitely seemed to know about military stuff, world affairs,the UN, Pakistan/Afghanistan border stuff, but I guess he could’ve googled it. Some of the UN stuff wasn’t right. Lots of stuff about his travels – he’d been everywhere!

Hello!!! I’ve been contacted by a so called US Army soldier deployed in Afghanistan Lucas Abel Milner email address abelmilner59@gmail.com. He states single 39 year father his date of birth April 25th which is my bday don’t know how he got my bday information. Well he was very nice charming man to talk too. He mention he has a 6 year old son named David that the nanny took off out of state and now David is left with his neighbour. Lucas asked me send him 700US to help care for his son. I told him he was a scammer and he got upset and stopped talking to me. I did not send any funds. Then 3 days later he messaged me back on face book stating he missed talking to me and loved me. He send me email asking for marriage. He told me that he ruined his day that he was devasted that I called him a scammer. I told him I don’t know u and ur asking me for money and I don’t have any. Anyways this went on for a month. I did some research and asked him to email me from his military account asking him for his Insignia, Service number and unit information. Lucas told me he was going to do it and never did. He called me a fool and I told I’m not a fool this is the Internet and if he says u love me as much as u do this should not be a problem sending email from ur military account. I told him there’s lots of scams going on. I sent a example of one soldier that got scammed indentity fraud and I told him this is sad and there’s lots of low life’s out there. Anyways been 3 days I haven’t heard a thing. I reported him to face book and some other government sites just waiting to hear back. Forgot to mention I’m from Canada. Scams are all over the place. Makes me feel sad that there are this many bad people out there. If anyone need anymore information bel582@aol.com I have pictures he sent me of him and son neighbour other army personel. Lucas says he was using another army personals cell phone to talk to me. I hope he gets caught

Hey Jules (post dated 28 April 2011 – 281)

Looks like Brian Rivera is also Gabriel Rivera And yes he is gorgeous, well the real man is but the man impersonating him is just scum. I got scammed and have now found Brian Rivera on Facebook – http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100003110005838&sk=wall

I am also curious to know if it is possible to contact the real person involved in US Army soldier scam. I met a US soldier who called himself Gabriel Rivera who was allegedly based out in Afghanistan via match.com this year. We chatted for about 5 months and I unfortunately fell for a scam to pay for charges related to emergency leave as the emails did not come from Gabriel but from a Lt Mark Collins who was supposedly in the US Army processing dept. I filled out forms and sent money via Money Transfer and thought it was all sorted when I got one more request this Monday for more money and then discovered it had been a scam. I really want to contact the person in the photos who has the surname Rivera but I dont know if Gabriel is his real name to let me know he is also a victim of this. I have notified UK Police and IC3 and other agencies and have even emailed CID in US Military to help but nothing forthcoming yet. Can anyone help?

I can’t understand why so many of you allow yourself to be duped (conned). You must of all heard of the saying: “If it sounds too good to be true . . . . then it probably is” Simply don’t get yourself conned and further more, stop believeing what they say – they are coning vulnerable (gullible) people like you !!

Liz and others,
I too have been scammed by a ‘pro’. He used the name ‘Lesley Howell’ and I am certain he is the same ‘Greg Howell’ Liz spoke of. He claims to be a trainer for Dyncorp, lost a fiance several years ago, has an ill mother living in Greece, etc.
I would like to speak with you Liz and compare, as I believe he is also utilizing other aliases. Please contact me at dolceme.1967@yahoo.com
Thank you.

hi ladies, i had been speaking to AREADYHEART man aged 45 from Perth Australia, his photos were just beautiful, he was romantic and said beautiful things, we were planning to meet up in brisbane – i was ready to book my fares and organise 2 hotel rooms next to each other. its the first time ive been on a dating site, we chatted for only a week, but for up to 7 hrs a night, felt a real connection with this guy, he said he was american, his wife had passed away, had a 13 yr old daughter, he worked on the oil rigs, was an ex professional golfer, travelled the world etc etc – all sounded too good to be true. i asked for more photos, and blew them up onthe screen and found differences between the photos i.e. shape of mouth, height, eyes, jaw shape different etc etc. i didnt want to believe it was a hoax, then got on google and searched his name BRUCE ADAMS couldnt find anything to do with golf, couldnt find him as an oil rig contractor, couldnt find anything onthe gold pro am circuit about him. i could have played him along, but decided to ask him to send me a txt or phone call without turning number sending off etc (I wanted to see if it ws an australian number he was calling from) and to establish identity, he didnt answer my email message, i did more internet research, then sent a very assertive letter saying that until he could establish his identity with me i would not speak to him, contacted dating site and an investigation is pending and i have not heard from him since, guess i felt sad as had created a picture in my head of meeting etc etc and he was absolutely gorgous in the photos… i sent another stern email re scamming and insulting people, i also smelt another rat as his grammar and spelling was not as good as it should have been for an engineer i.e. having studied for years etc…. his words were a little pigeon english… so putting two and two together i feel thankful that i was not sucked in. will be wise next time thats for sure. its like living in a fantasy land talking to these faceless people, they can say anything, and trust me, the words were beautiful…. we must only believe what is real, next time im suggesting we talk on webcam, i want to see the face and hear the accent, thats a start. nobody not even friends ask for money so if a stranger asks, thats a sure sign to give them a wide berth – never ever send money to anyone… not ever. we were going to pay our own airfares. he did get a bit short with me tho when i was trying to firm up dates to meet.
one of the photos was him running a marathon and i searched on the club in US and also on his bib number, then sent the photo to all warrior clubs asking them to advise this person that their identity had been stolen, i have tried my hardest to advise the true owner of the photos… but the scarey thing is these scammers also grab our photos and we could be posted on dating sites anywhere using another name, quite a scarey thought really…. does anyone know if there is such a thing as identifying a person from a photo – anywhere on the web as i would like to find the true identity of this person….. scammers preying on ladies (and in some cases men) who just want to find their soul mate and maybe love of their life. busy professionals who dont do the social circuit to meet people, this I thought was a viable alternative, but is fraught with danger signs. do be careful ladies, dont get sucked in, take the words with a grain of salt, anyone can say anything on a chat email, hiding behind a mask of a stolen photo…. ps i also was a bit dubious, thinking a professional golfer who had trvelled the world would have no shortage of ladies wanting to join his group, why would he be on Oasis dating site. If anyone else has been stung by areadyheart please email me at pacificsands@hotmail.com, we can share stories.

be safe out there…

I met a person called Curtis Lopez on dating site called http://www.date-christians.co.uk on the 10/10/2011.
We both cancelled the profile and try to know each other. The more I try to find out about him things reviling that he was using someone’s photos to met women. His age given in the site doesn’t match the one he gave me on yahoo messenger. After two weeks He requested money to send him through western Union to Afghanistan British military champ while his money is locked in the luggage. He told me that he will be retired this week to come to London from Afghanistan. He has a lot connection so he can provide a contact details to trap people. I did my research and discovered that this man is not real. He did not want to skpe and see his face. He could not give me his military number so I can call MOD to find out about him. The next thing is he chatted on yahoo messenger and told me never contact MOD. He disappeared for ever. I reported him to the police. i lost £2900

Well I too got caught up with a scam, again he was a sergeant in the US Army and serving in Iraq, and soon to retire, a very handsome looking man ,pictures of him in uniform and also in casual clothing , he was very respectful , loving and church going man, he claimed he was a widow and had no family,and wanted to start a new life with someone special??? Well he did not ask for money , but wished for me to be in receipt of a package on his behalf to be sent to me from Iraq?? Well of course the alarm bells rang and I asked for his ID, which I never received, also I realized looking back, that at the start the emails were consistent, but then once he had my interest the emails were different the writing, the spelling also the color of the font(especially when we chatted on line) which changed as time went on and I realized I was not the only one that he must have been chatting to , it was obvious that he used one color writing for me and another for someone else ,just in case he made a mistake? I immediately cut contact with him or them, and I hope to never again hear from them… I just wish that the likes of them would get caught , I know there are a lot of women out there like me that went on these sites to meet someone nice and good and respectful , but end up with scum like that….never again that’s me finished.. just be careful ladies

I’ve talked to a Captain Steve Spicer in Sudan, and he has now asked for money so he can retire, I have mailed a number of them these pages to him, unfortunately, so I did enough to disclose some personal information was an email address to mailto: usarmydept@mailforce.net, where they wanted some information, and stupid as it was so I left out some personal info. This is his email captainstevespicer@yahoo.com. He is also on fb.

Thanks for the information Annemarie. This guy asked me for money to get him home on leave so he could marry me and I want to thank you all for your letters on here as it was those that made me realise what a tosser he was, not that I would have sent him money, I am a single mum but that didn’t seem to bother him he just wanted the money. So thanks again.

would just like to say that i believe im being scam med at the moment, although im not as naive as he thinks i am, I grew up in the military and my brother is still serving in British army and we have a lot of american family so easier to find out certain things!
Whilst in a conflict zone they are not allowed leave only on compassionate grounds.
I am being told I cant sent him anything, thats a lie because i can send care packages, he has asked me for £450 to get his ticket over to see me for 3 months. I asked his rank which he gave me as Sgt Alfred Barrera, wouldnt give me his grade which incidently my brother found out from the insignia on his sleeve which all soldiers have (clever bloke my brother) All the photo’s were of the same guy and his daughter, this is suspect although the girl actually looks like him!
When i spoke to him about my brother he told me i wasnt to tell anyone about him until he comes over here, he wont phone me or allow me to phone him, although they are not allowed to phone on mobiles so i know that bit id true!
There are some things that ring true and others he is extremely cagey about.
I will however say that on saturday i was asked to pick some money up from the postoffice and send to a collins daniel in Nigeria, i spoke to the guy after i had sen the money that is basically it, i know feel i have helped them scam some poor woman, was mad with myself when i read messages on here and realised what i’d done!
I will not be sending this guy any money have told him to serve his time as thats what he signed up for and IF he comes over here he can come over on his own steam!
Actually doubt if i will hear from him now he realises im on to him after the questions my brother told me to ask!

Search his ip address, this will give you his true location, please don’t forget they are very clever at what they do, sometimes taking months to get you to trust them,and to build a relationship with you,but they do seem to follow a very similar pattern,if he mentions a diplomer, he is a fake as they do not exist, pop onto the American Embassy website, as lots of info about this stuff there.

I am at present trying to be scammed by Nathaniel Ian Walker, supposedly with 9 regiment in Tripoli. He too says he is a widower with a 16 year old son. 58 years of age retiring from army shortly. Sent his documents on ahead with a diplomat by the name of Anthony Burke. Document package was held by customs in Ghana last monday as insurance tags were out of date. He now wants me to send £3ooo to have them released and brought to my address by diplomatic courier. We had been chatting online for 6 weeks, while he too declared his undying love and how soon we were going to be married when he got home. He also sent all the love poems and photographs to go with his promises. When I said that there was no way I could raise that amount of money. his attitude changed completely, and said that I was turning my back on him, and how much he wanted to be out of Lybia and home with me and his son. If I cared anything about him at all I would do it and send the money by moneygram. I am very lucky that I found your site first, and though it hurts me to believe people can do this to widows I am glad that I found out in time as I had an appointment with my bank manager this coming monday morning 19th Sept. to transfer the money for him from my account as he was tering my heart to pieces. He also said that his father was British and his mother was Mexican, because after reading some of his emails they appeared to be in broken English as the spelling was quite bad. I met him on Dating Agency at the beginning of August. His email address is natian2011@gmail.com and natian2011@google.com. He uses both, and says that he is an Executive attached to the British army in Lybia and has been with the army for thirty years. So many things were not ringing true when different dates for certain things were given to me and this started alarm bells ringing. It has made me feel very much of a heel because a lot of what he was saying was making me feel so sorry for him. I have not however found his name or any mention of Lybia in any of your corrispondence, though I have come across a Julius Walker in them. I feel very bad if he is telling me the truth but so many others have been on this site with the same sort of story. I hope that I am not wrong on this and that it can prevent others from being scammed .

Thank you James,
it is such a shame the the guys in the pictures that are being used cannot be contacted and warned of what is happening,i am in the UK could a friend of mine in the army here look on the US web site?these scumbags need to be stopped,BBC radio 5 is doing a news report on this scam on the 26 sept at 9pm, i am sure it will be interesting listening.there is also a wall of shame on the web page a soldiers perspective, which lists pictures of soldiers that have been used in this scam.

Ladies I’m a veteran of Iraq and a long time member of the armed forces..I assure you that no true soldier would need money from any of you for any reason..it makes me sick that these scammers are posing as soldiers and using our life stories to take advantage of people..most soldiers can be looked up on usarmy.mil..but its a secured sight so you’ll have to use someone you know in the military to look them up…

Hello ladies,
Well it seems that i have also been scammed by a steve edwards,staff sergeant in the us army,currently serving in afghan,fortunatly i didn’t lose a large amount of money,same story,widowed with a son 19,we had been chatting for about 2weeks before his computer died, so asked if i would send him a new one,no chance i sent him an old 1 i had in my house, address accra ghana!!suprise suprise it didn’t work over there,he insisted that he wished to come and visit me in the uk but would need his diploma to sort papers out, these diplomas donot exist ladies, i phoned the American Embassy in london,so please be aware if any body asks you for money for papers they are extremly clever,it is true that if a soldier goes into afghan on a military flight,but wants to fly out on a commercial flight they do need their legality status verified,only because their passport isn’t stamped on entry to the country so they may be illegal,all this information is readily available from the Embassy web site,including the charges to get the passport verified,no diploma can do this it has to be the military person involved,i met steve edwards on oasis.com, i have reported him there at the moment he isn’t contacting anybody else on the site,so ladies if you are contacted by this man RUN!!!SteveEdwards2010@gmail.com

OMG I am so pleased I found this site!! Has anyone heard of Cpt Elton Christopher Kuti, serving in Kabul Afghanistan? He contacted me via facebook a month ago, i fell for him hook line and sinker for the first 10days that is! He said he has been widowed 3yrs ago and was ready to find love again. He has one son Aaron, who is in football academy in Florida. So he says?! He says he is well off and expecting inheritance from his fathers property who died 28yrs ago, thats when the alarm bells started ringing, thats along time to wait for that coming through! We talked mainly on fb for the first few days then he asked me to join yahoo so we could IM each other every night at the same time, 11pm my time and 2am his, thats a strange time he should be getting his sleep i said he said a soldier never sleeps!! Also he has his own house out there because of his rank with a pc, printer and tv, but no webcam! also he cant talk via phone as telecommunications are blown up, id have thought he wouldnt be able to get internet if thats the case?! he has sent me nearly 20 photos of himself and 2 of his son. he even gave me his sons IM so we could talk. I went on next night and there was his son, the first thing he said was ‘Hi Sweetie’ just like his dad, very strange way to talk to your fathers girlfriend i thought lol. didnt answer him came off straight away. He says he is a captain but when i googled the badges on his uniform in the photos, it came up as sergeant! He writes in his messages as if he is foreign and his spelling is bad. He says he will retire when he has done his duty in afghan he will be 49 and he will have been there for 2yrs, thats a long time!! His fb is blocked all i can see are his pictures and info, there are several women on who have commented on his pics. when i confronted him about his fb being blocked he said he didnt know how it has happened and that it must be from my end, yeah right lol.He has told me that he loves me and wants to marry me when he retires next year, of course i said yes, got to keep him going to see how far hes going to go! He asked me to send email to the military to set up a wireless connection so we can talk via phone, i pretended i had at first. then 2 days ago i did out of curiosity. WOW they want $880 to set it up lol, thats what i was waiting for the money sting! he didnt contact me at all yesterday. He IM me this morning when i was checking my mails and told me he had a broken arm and had been in military clinik all day!! He isnt being sent home as he still has to be there for a mission!! lmao!! i told him about the fee for the connection and he said that he wanted me to pay it so we can always chat on phone, like yeah soon as i send it youl be off lol! ive told him to give me 2 weeks to get the money together then i will send it off. More like i want time to warn the other women in that he has on facebook!! What really annoys me though is that he is using someone elses pictures and identity, the poor soldier in the photos could none the wiser or even worse past away. it really boils me that someone can be so evil to do this, use someones identity to rob women. The email address he gave me for the connection application is militarycallingdepartment@usa.com, its quite a convincing mail you get back untill you read it again and see that there are lots of spelling mistakes and also speak as if foreign, and the links to website are under construction!! I really wanted him to be real at first he was so charming and good looking, i just feel now for the real soldier in the photos. If you have also heard of him please let me know, i will let you know how i get on informing the women on his facebook. Good luck girls

I too have been talking to a soldier from the US also in Afghanistan. His pictures he has sent are of a very handsome man. His name is Daniel Wheelbarger and I’ve just been asked about making a phone connection which is going to cost me £250 so he can talk to me! and I get to pay for this priviledge. Says he lives in Stratford UK and is on tour for 6 months oh and has a son of 13 years. I’ve been beginning to smell a rat as his English isn’t too great when he writes, looks like a copy and paste job sometimes. Have other people been scammed by this person too – I’m outraged and very glad I have found this site.

Whenever you use online dating just be careful.

Do an IP address check, which will tell you where they are. Of course you need an email from the person you are wanting to check out, which needs to be into your normal email account. Then expand full headers and look for the IP address.

They are quick and easy to use and will tell you all you need to know.

I use this one

http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup

Do try it out on a friend’s email address, this will put your mind at rest that it is accurate.

Dating is site is not a bad place to meet Mr right but the members are bad people!! ask youurself why should a man travel miles from USA to marry someone in UK? this can only happen once in a million time especially on dating!!! why can a soldier ask for money? or why can any man whom you have never met ask you to give them money? warning !! this people are all over dating sites and some are here claming that someone used their husband`s profile and etc be very careful and think before you leave your email address on web you don`t know who is reading your messages…Lastly I guess it is better to report this people to police they can help and protect your privacy!! be aware that this people are smart and they know you can search for the truth and report them…I know how it feels to be a victim and this people can really waste peoples time and destory peoples lives..saying this from my own experience…we need to take our time and date people in our own area, if you like someone who lives far try to meet each other and take one step at a time…It is hard to pick up the pieces of a broken heart please don`t do this to yourself..ALL THE BEST WITH LOVE

I live in Australia… and it has made its way onto a dating site here.

Colonel Marcus Robbles. Widowed 9 year ago. Wife couldnt have kids… just about to get out of the US Army after 27 years and wants to permanently live in Australia. Sent me poems… even sent me flowers and red wine… Then wanted to send a package via a diplomat however the diplomat was held up in Ghana and to start off with it was 8500 pounds and then reduced down to 2000 pounds… LOL…. I did fall for it to start off with but as soon as he told me after 1 week that he loved me and 2 weeks he wanted me to be his wife… I smelt a scam…. but just went with it.. however I am going to take this further so as to warn other women as I am sure there are alot of embarrassed women out there feeling very vulunerable.

It’s a scam – don’t send it back as he will ask you for more money if you haven’t already paid some for that form.

Hi
I just meet this guy in a chat, he says he’s in afgha. I was reading all the comments before and i think the guy i meet is not real. I dont know to much about the army, but when i ask him his rank he told me he’s a captain, when i ask him he’s rank again he told me he wasnt sure. He also says he love me, he miss me ect,ect,ect….. And he told me to ask for his vacation request to unitedstatemilitaryconsultant@gmail.com and they will charge me some fees. But God is good, because for that adresse i contact this page. He says he is captain Boggs Parker Colman and his email is smartluv234@gmail.com

Been taken in by this guy going as Ramos Alex on Facebook. There are numerous pictures of the same guy on Facebook and was sucked in by the poetry and the pictures.

I challenged him about the forms etc as they are fake and he told me they weren’t so I pointed him yesterday to the American Embassy site and haven’t heard, and said to him that the money I sent was theft.

His English is bad as is his spelling. The sentences are very short which makes me think English is poor.

Bitten the bullet on this one. Wasn’t looking for anybody anyway as came on Facebook, in days he wanted to marry me. ! But what a scam!

I am amazed I was taken in by it but haven’t been very well so think that was also a factor and all a dream.
How stupid fell for his dream, stories and a different lifestyle.

One of those names is similar – Blessing Peak appeared on his Facebook page the day I transferred money
