Theophilus Ade

He pretends to be a German who is some sort of trader (he told me Forex). After about a month, he then says he is selling software to big oil & gas companies in Malaysia, London and Singapore but he needs money to get trade clearances. He asks for money through Western Union or Money Gram. He says he has a son, Nuel (he even sent me a photo of him), who is 16. He pretends that his son's mother died of cardiac disease, so the son lives with his mother in Germany. He tells stories of having a mini zoo, then all of the animals being attacked by a virus and dying. Then of his son going to Africa with a zoologist to choose new animals. He sends photos of himself as a baby, a little boy and also some handsome man. I don't know where he got the photos. I sent him $3,000 through Money Gram to help him. Then he had me to wire $8,100 to him through someone else with an account at the Bank of China. He's very smart - he did it over a holiday weekend, knowing that I couldn't stop the wire. Please don't fall for these awful, online dating scams - especially this one.
