I really don't know if I am being scammed, but I have already given a gentleman I have never met $20,000.00. This has been going on since January of this year. I met him on a dating website....(I know....) His work visa expired, so he had to go back to South Africa. Apparently his bank account in the U.S. is frozen until this visa stuff is resolved.
I have filed a police report locally and have filled out a very lengthy report with the FBI. I have contacted police in South Africa and England. This gentleman calls, texts, or emails me just about every day. He is very friendly and kind. However, the stress and pressure of all the demands for more money is overwhelming. He is currently asking for an additional $4,500.00 to open an offshore bank account that will release an inheritance in his name.....I have been trying to put him off, but it is getting difficult.
An attorney located in England, on his behalf, has emailed me several times. Recently a banker from TBI Standard Finance has been contacting me to open up an offshore bank account. This type of account is supposedly needed to help with the transfer of funds (because the gentleman's inheritance is large) between the offshore account then to a bank account here in the U.S
The FBI had initially encouraged me to keep the line of communication open, but I know that they have far too many other, more important issues to address than this. I keep communicating on the slim chance that this man is who he says he is, and I will eventually get back all my money....
I have emails, phone numbers, and several photos, in addition a copy of my report I filed with the FBI. I have the account and routing numbers that were used in the wire transfers.
Maybe this man is who he says he is...He has suggested that I come to South Africa to reassure myself....
I feel like I have a lot of information on this man and am still in contact that somebody, somewhere should be able to help me.....
