he told me he was an Oil Platform Engineer,
he was a widower and had two children, and
remarry, with a week of conversation, then
made your marriage proposal and called me, I didn't see your
face very well, but it looked like a face like the photo.
And we started talking frequently.
And always stating that he would wax
his contract in December and until February 20,

I said I had a bad financial situation

insisting. February 3rd said to him
who had seen other profiles with his others
names, said it wasn't him, and that he needed

We stopped talking on February 4th

I found out that he has another instagram

but I want other people not to experience it.

I started communicating with this person 5 months ago in an app called Slowly. About 15 days later I deleted the app and we started communicating by email. Then hangouts and for a while whats app. And we went back to the hangouts, where we talked until 15 days ago.

There are so many, I had over two years of communication with this scammer. After applying for a visa for him I discovered he’d been in contact with many women from many countries while we were planning our meeting, during the time we met and after. Our visa had been approved however I cancelled everything once his interview was scheduled. He continues to prey on women on several social media sites. Here are a few but I have so many more. ( I need some money baby) (Loan me) (I owed some money for my friend)

He used another role as forwarding agent that asked for money. We met in IG and talked ever since. In short, he told me wanted to visit me in Singapore. And he needed to send his luggage first as he made errands for his jobs. So, first his luggage was detained by customs because of overweight, then after I made payment. Forwarder email again asking more money as they found 400,000USD. At the end I lost 17,000SGD to pay customs clearance. The next thing that made me suspicious because the forwarder came back again and said there is 24 kg of gold bar inside the luggage which it made me realised it is just fake account that asking me for money.
