In October of I met Robert on Seniorpeoplemeet.com. He was in the US but leaving for Dubai on a contract. He said he was an engineer, had a 19 year old daughter and was a millionaire.in November he called me to say that he was in trouble with the Arabs doe "overstay fees" and asked for money to be sent to someone at customs. I asked for collateral and he sent me a CD drawn on a bank in Frankfurt, Germany for ten million dollars. I then began to send him money. Never in his name but to an Arab name.
He sent me twn $500 International traveler's check and I took five to my bank and discovere their were fraudulent. The bank confiscated the traveler's checks and I called Robert and he said he was sorry.in Feb I had collected enough money to pay his fees and he was supposed to board the plane but told me he had collapsed at the airport and was taken to a local hospital. I sent more money. They kept him at the hospital because he couldn't pay his bill there. March was my last payment of $1000 to him. Two weeks ago, he sent me a check made out to me from a Cycling Touring Club in Fairfax, Virginia and it was for $29,500.50 I made a copy of it and deposited it. Three days later they called me and said it was a counterfeit, then they closed my accounts, threatened me with arrest and being blacklisted from all banks in my state. I sent Robert three emails and never heard from him. What a cruel and awful thing to happen to a 69 year old lady but it was my fault for believing my first online love. Another thing I want to add, five other men (or whatever they were) contacted me in a blitz attack, professing love and devotion, falling in love with my pic, blah, blah and then they went to a foreign country and all got into trouble and asked for money. I think they use pictures of other people but ladies be very suspicious of your contacts and don't let happen to you what happened to me. If they ask you for money they are scammers.
