James, was also a member of match.com. He contacted me and after many days of communication (email, chat, few phone calls) I felt very comfortable with him. I am new to this, and a trusting type. Last week he scammed me. He claimed he lived in Hampton, NH; and that he was german and 47 years old; and antique dealer on a business trip in Nigeria: he was returning to the US in ten days.
On January 29th, he convinced me that he was mugged and had nothing to eat for two days. I felt terrible and played along agreeing to send him money. I sent him $550 via West Union. It was sent in his name, so he needed a document with that name to withdraw the money (he did withdraw, I checked). A few days later, he again had another crisis and I was the only one that could help. He wanted more money, when I said I would not send anything else, he asked for my credit card so people that owed him money could send money to it (I said no).
