9.9.2020 Again he asked me to send money (2700€) from my bank account to his daughters teacher to help move her home due the Covid19. I've sent some money (1000€ to an account to Germany) before I could have time to check if was a scam:
Account name: Katharina Loeffert
IBAN : DE---REDACTED---
Bic : VBMHDE5FXXX
Bank name: volksbank mittelhessen.
Bank address: Volksbank Mittelhessen eG Schiffenberger Weg ---REDACTED--- Gießen
I've already reported the scam to:
---LINK REDACTED---
They said they will report it to the local police in Germany and they will probably contact me for more info.
After his last request I said I have no money left. He is still trying to push me to ask someone for money & I'm still in contact with him for now.
I've also made another account on tinder and matched him to check him and he used exactly same tactic when contacted.
Other names: Charles / Stevenson/ Charleschoolman2/ d_a_e_396 / Freddie Evans

This is not only about the scammer but the dating sites hosting the fraud as well. Victoria Hearts, Charmerly, Matchtruly, Ukrianianchram, Valentime, and more are all the same exact site operated by the same company. Charmdate is a separate company that operates similar fraudulent schemes with a lot of the same ‘verified’ profiles. This pertains to all these sites as well as the scammer herself.
Based on my experience the past 9 months, these sites are 100% fraudulent and would advise everyone to either cut your losses now or simply stay away. Pick a girl, the stories/excuses/gift requests are all interchangeable, and the end result will be the same. My reality and bank statements don’t lie.
I did send her flowers/gifts through the site however no money to my knowledge. The site(s) take your money.

He has a son, whose name is Lucio.
He said,
Lucio just sent me a message now, that he needs $600 Amazon card or ITunes card, can you help him with that, I can’t access my account over here in the sea.
If you have $400 he can manage it.
I felt ashamed asking you for that.
But I ask you just because he needs it, and I promise you I will transfer double of it to you when I get to the port.
I swear with my parents grave.
