Romance scammer from single-people.com chatroom. Posed as art dealer with flat in London. Lengthy grooming that involved a lot of highly romantic poetry, song lyrics, etc (all of which were delivered as self-penned) - some attached below. Quickly moved to text/private email (as dating site charges for messages, I suspect). Arranged to meet then delivered request for funds to help out with purchase of artwork; reverse image search found identical image online. Bank details given were for an account with Nat West in the name of MF Ruane; interestingly, there is an Angela Ruane listed in 2005-06 as living at the address "she" gave as her flat.

I look forward to every day
That I get to see the Glow on your face
When I tell you that I love you in every way..
The thousands of miles between us
