I joined Chrisitan Mingle in late January at the urging of my daughter. I have been widowed for seven years and hoped to find a decent Christian man just to have a relationship with.
So called Keith Hernandez had a beautifully written profile. He talked endlessly about his love for GOD, and he son that he had been left alone to raise. Supposedly his wife and his eldest son, Edward, had been killed nine years ago in a car accident. He said he lived in Houston, Texas. He spoke of only having one close friend named Richard, a Cardiologist. He sent pictures of himself, his two dogs and his son Alex. He told me repeatedly how he wanted me to be a mommy to his son. This man told me he was a gold and diamond buyer and had been in this business for 19 years. Soon after we started emailing, he asked for my personal email and phone number. He gave me his... 218-406-1174. The area code is for Houston. He seemed interested in me and my life, even acted like he would fly home when I was sick (I am in remission from cancer). A week and a half ago he told me he had to go to London to purchase gold, this was to be his last trip and he was retiring. When he got to London, he could not purchase all the gold bars he needed, so he had located some in Ghana. He told me he had never been in that country before. All during this time, he was sending me loving text messages, emails, Ecards. Last week he told me that he went to the bank to cash his travelers check and because his business license had expired, they would not allow him to cash his check, so he did not have cash readily available. When he asked me to send it to him, he assured me he would cash his check and return my money immediately. Needless to say, I never heard anything from him today. He was obvioulsy a liar and a cheat. I have lost $8,000 that I sent my Money Gram. He had me to send it in the name of Bruno Williams, his driver. I even told him I didn't have any extra money and that it was very important that he return it to me as quickly as possible. He even had the nerve to tell me when I questioned him motives that I had hurt him terribly because I acted like I didn't trust him. He made me feel bad. He called me his "Princess" and now I know I was nothing more than his fool! I am broke and broken hearted because I believed in him. I thought since his profile was on a Christian site that it was safe.
