I Met My Scammer on a Dating Site, and She Stole Over $63,000 from Me
My story is long: the events lasted 2 years, but I won’t bore you with some of the details.
The woman who stole $63,000 from me claimed to be originally from Spain, a designer and musician working in South Africa. Someone with a good job and an inheritance. She even produced fake documents.
She first convinced me to help with a project for 18k. Then I gave her 25k to help her with the kidnapping of her 14-year-old daughter. Then the African immigration fined her for overstaying her visa for 20k, then flight money, etc. This was a complete nightmare!
By the time I learned about the fake passport she provided, I was wiped out financially. FTC would not take my claim because I missed the deadline.
I’m 52 and now having to start all over because my life savings are gone, all because I am a normal human being who was deceived by online crooks using technology to steal. Dating sites that appear legit and safe are simply not!
