Not long time ago I met an
over 50 years old lady. She found out I'm freelance journalist and
she wants me to write about her story.
Coming from other country,
feeling lonely she jumped on the well-known dating site
www.Ourtime.com.
Egna thought she found a
nice man. They started to chat and exchanged the words of a possible
romance.
He played the victim of
distressing issues in his life: very sick kids and in need of funds
for helping them.
The guy pretended to be a
German origin and spoke the language of the true love, of the man who
pretended to had found his match. Egna didn t hesitate one moment and
sent the guy a substantial amount of over 6 thousands dollars.
It was too late when the
poor lady realized the guy was a professional thief and she got
scammed.
She felt bad, hurt,
humiliated. It took a while until she decided to file complaints with
IC3. Nobody contacted her and she believes the site it s just there
for nothing. She lost the hope in any possibilty of having money
back.
She contacted as well the
Local Police Department, but it was too late.
She gave me the right to
publish the guy's picture and his name. Maybe there are not real, but
this message in the bottle could prevent other scams. The guy
pretended to be from Wisconsin and his name is Christopher K Meader.
