It started on Facebook, a man named Steve Lemon from Watertown, NY sent me a message that he liked what he saw and wanted to know more about me. Well, we started chatting and he asked for my yahoo address, I did not think anything about it. He told me he worked on oil rigs and that he was out of town. He had a 7 year old son named Terry and he wife was killed in a car wreck about 3 yr ago. He kept sending me love letters, notes and all kind of sweet things. I fell for the stupid trick, I did not relize that scams were out on Facebook. It took him about a month to ask me for money, he was stuck in China and could not get home, he wanted me to send the money to "his agent" in China, Gyamfi Robert, he asked for $500, I did not have that much, I told him I could spare $200 and he kept begging for more, but he finally settled for what I had. Then he started asking me to be his wife and to look for us a house here, that he was making $2,000, 000.00 on this job and wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and my kids, along with Terry. I unwilling, stupid me, kept sending him money until I realized he was just scamming me. Everytime he was supposed to come to Atlanta, he would get robbed and end up in hosptial and I had to pay the bill, because he had the check that could only be cashed in States. Then he went to visit Gyamfi Robert and on the way to the airport the last time, Gyamfi Robert was supposedly shot and killed, but Steve survived again. He needed more money to get home. I pawned my car title for $4000.00 and borrowed $3,000.00 from family to send to him to get him home, but he was supposedly staying with a one of the Doctor's at the hospital house, that is when i realized how STUPID I was. He was never coming here, he was scamming me. Then he tried to get me to put $2500.00 in a foreign bank account so he could put his $9,000, 000.00 check in and me to cash it and send him money to come home. I did not fall for that... He told me 2 million and then over 9 million was on the paper, but I was already out of over $10,000.00. I have all the receipts where I sent him the money. I would like my money back if at all possible. I am a single mother and I took money from my kids to give this man that I thought was madly in love with me. I spoke with him on the phone, so I thought he was geniune.
