what if I just tell him that until I can actually see him on a skype call I don't believe he is who he is?
^^
Scammers can fake Skype and video calls. These are more advanced scammers. Your scammer appears to have a brain cell, so he can do this.
You can change phone numbers and get a new email address.
The more you are in contact with him he may convince you into a scam. He is a scammer/thief he knows what he is doing.
This is not physical/domestic violence it is psychological violence. Get out while you can.
Stop all contact. Block, change numbers and email address.
Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.
Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.
Please remember the fallen.
