Met a very good looking bussiness man on match.com early June. He said his name was Justin Robert Costa. I live in the UK. After having exchanged several e-mails 'getting to know each other' he said he was off to the Philipinnes to build an oil refinery. He said his wife had died from cancer, his son had died in Afghanistan.in July he asked me to send him, via Western Union, £1,600 to pay for his fare to get back to the UK because, as a result of the floods there, he had lost all his documents, including credit cards. I believed him and sent the money. This went on for several months, each time he making excuses that he could not get back to the UK. He was going to have all the money from the 'job' sent to my account i.E. $23,000, 000! He also wanted me to borrow money on my house, about $150,000.By this time I had met one of his fellow criminals, who showed me a trunk full of what appeared to be US$'s. Once I met his fellow criminal, a Nigerian called Peter Johnson, I realised I had been scammed. I reported the matter to the police who traced him in the Philipinnes. Even though he had scammed other people, and had tried to scam others, nobody else reported him therefore the file was closed. I am now left owing £30,000. I have been caused illness and hardship.
