After that he started to ask for nude pictures and I knew he wanted to use nude pictures to blackmail me. I am not stupid to send him nude pictures.

I have been texting and chatting with this gentleman since Nov. 2016. I’ve grown to care and love him as well. But, with all due respect he mention that he lost his wife and his brother as well. He said, he needed some money for the released of the Inheritance. I, of course I explained to him I am not greedy for his money and that I will help. One day, I decided to check scammers and with my surprise,, I was shocked to see many of his photo’s in Military uniforms with a different last names. I was hurt to believe in him as he says, he is who he is in the picture on fb. As we were texting I showed him a photo of him in uniform, he asked where I got the pic? Yet, from the tone of his voice he raised his tone with angerAnger Anger, also known as wrath or rage, is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, trigger, hurt or threat. About one-third of scam victims become trapped in anger for extended periods of time following a scam.
A person experiencing anger will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as an emotion that triggers a part of the fight or flight response. Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically.
Anger can have many physical and mental consequences. While most of those who experience anger explain its arousal as a result of "what has happened to them", psychologists point out that an angry person can very well be mistaken because anger causes a loss in self-monitoring capacity and objective observability.. Explaining to him I don’t appreciate anything from him when he is asking for my help. I am so naive and gullible to fall on this trap. He has promised me happiness, love and anything any one would like to have in life. I received e-mails from the bank but, I am reluctant to sending more money. I wanted to know if his pictures has being used by scammers. I do love and care for him. Was he ever in the military? I don’t want to lose him if he is telling me the truth. We do a lot of texting and chatting almost every day.
