Really, dude? Any woman you have never met should never receive not a dime from you! It’s questionable even if you HAVE met her!! LOL. This poor 48 year old man in Illinois sent $200,000 to a “woman” he met online, and lo and behold…she turned out to be a fraud and his money is long gone…as well as his “love”.
Most of us are savvy enough not to turn over money to strangers in the real or digital world. This poor guy —age 48 — wired varying amounts of money to different bank accounts in the United States, as well as places like England, Nigeria and Malaysia, over more than two years to his “love.”
The only way the scam came to light in recent days is because he went to police in Naperville, Ill., where he lives, asking for help to rescue the “woman.” He believed she “had been kidnapped in London,” according to what police told The Naperville Sun.
The only proof the man had of his love’s existence was an ID card that was provided to him; it was, in fact, a sample driver’s license from Florida, the police said.
“According to the report, when the officer stated the female did not exist, the man ‘was in disbelief,’ ” the newspaper said.
it’s people like him that get too caught up with Facebook. it was his choice to send money not knowing if the receiver was real or not. He definitely is a dumbass for taking social networking too serious.
c’mon son…like for real
for 200k he couldve fly her ass out LOL WTF ?
