I was caught by a fraud by a guy named Bennie Duncan with a fake au pair job offer in the UK. He pretended to get a visa going for me, and I believed. I sent a western union payment order in my name and the money was cashed. And the Bennie Duncan tells me that once I arrive in the UK the immigration will give me a new code for the money. All of this are lies, on top of lies. Let´s catch this bastard. He also gave me his phone number which matches with the "Conray Bryant,Tom Wilcox', and God knows which other names he has made up. The phone number is +447903389362.
