I encountered this man on a dating site and within days he told me how it was "fate" and "GOD" that brought us together and on and on. He is a genius at deceipt and puts words together beautifully. He told me that he lived in West Virginia, but traveled a lot for business and was leaving for Europe, but would never lose touch with me. We emailed back and forth and spoke on the phone and I found myself thinking this might be something worth pursuing so we kept in touch on a daily basis. He told me more and more how much he loved me and asked if he could change his travel plans and fly straight to see me on his way home from Europe. I agreed but told him he would have to book a hotel for himself, and he agreed...then about 4 days before he was to leave Europe he sent me an email telling me that his wallet had been stolen with all his credit cards and asked me to send him a sizable amount of money so he could wrap up his business and get home. Of course I was promised a payback when he arrived back in the states. I emailed him and told him never to contact me again, but he was relentless. Then he told me he was Nigeria and needed me to help him get home...The moral of the story is this guy is a professional and really needs to be stopped. He says he owns a business in Milan, Italy that exports leather goods for home decor, etc. He had a phony website that is gone now, but was very impressive....He sent pics of himself, quite bold...He also professes to have a large sum of money in an account in London that he wanted to put in my name, so I could access it and send him money.....The name of the bank is United National Bank on Broooke St. in London. Every word is a lie.....
