I was on Facebook for not a long time. I had just set up my profile and didn't really know what was going on. I was contacted by a harmless, good-looking man with two kids who said he was a serviceman serving in Afghanistan for 7 months for the Air Force. His username was Geocares and he goes by the name of Sgt. George Steven Jordan. He started just talking as my friend, and before I knew it, I was in a full-blown internet relationship, if you will. I was sucked in.
He first begged for money. He said a nanny by the name of Vanessa St. John in Kalamazoo, MI needed money for his kids, whom she was taking care of while he was serving in the military. He said he was worried about them and that they didn't have enough food and tuition for school. I gave 50.00 dollars only.
Then he needed 100.00 for a down payment on a phone. Then money for a ring, 155.00, to show he was taken. Then, the very last thing, he needed 315.00 dollars for a phone. Finally he wanted 200.00 to send him home. I told him off and said I hoped he rotted in Nigeria. I never heard from him again, or got my money back.
