Information on romance scams and scammers.

Hi all,
I'm looking for some advise, I suspect I met online scammer.
I met him on Tinder last week, he was introduced himself as Canadian with Irish roots, his mother is in care house in Dublin. He said he is a designer, self company. He's name is Leo Peterson, he is using Canadian phone number, he said he's roaming.
He seems to be very polite, gentlemen, eloquent guy.
He told me about a big project he is working for the company in Cyprus and how important it is for him.
We are talking by Viber, he is calling me every morning and evening, texting me during the day many times. After few days he told me he is falling in love with me...
Then he ask me for money, 450 Eur should be send to some agent in Cyprus.
The below are the copies of the messages he sent to me, am I right I don't trust him?:


''Its going to affect my overall performance, because they have changed the specifications and added some new details, I need to get that software, i want to but honestly I cant now.''
''honey I need someone to make the transfer for me, I'm not collecting any loan for 450 euro, if I secure the contract, then I might need a loan''
honey just look for please, ask a friend, borrow or take a loan, id pay back as soon as I can. if i don't pay for that software, there is really no need for me to continue working on the project''
''I didn't know what to say, if I lose this contract, i don't know where i would begin from, i didnt want to start telling you how important it was to me because its not your problem. I just finished talking with the agent and he said almost everyone undertaking this project has gotten theirs. I don't know what to do honey''
honey get the loan for me, please, my continual living in Ireland depends on this contract, unless you are ready to quit your job and go back with me to Canada.''
''i'd find a way and I cant, it wont be the first contract ive lost, it would hurt but not as much as the pain that comes from you not trusting me with something as little as 450 euros''
''Its not about the money honey, its about trust, I know 3 days is not enough for trust, but we have somehow moved above that. I wanted to see you two days ago, but sadly we got the location confused. we have done things that we never thought possible in such a short time. i will never ask a woman for money, no, its not me. I don't even ask my friends for me, hell I don't even have friends and its because at times like this when you need help, they turn their backs on you, like what the few I have just did. I'm a man with too much ego, i had to let them all down and ask you for this only for you to start telling me about verification and securing yourself. what do you take me for honey? someone who just wants to have sex with you and leave? . I have just today, tomorrow and next to do a work that would take about a month to do and you want me to waste more time and come to Dublin for 450 euros simply because you don't trust me. look its fine honey, don't worry, i never should have asked. I don't know why each time I fall in love i always get hurt''
''i'd lost the deal to work because I know i will get the contract hence I would not want to waste my time, then i will probably come see you during the weekend and go back to Canada next week''
in all honesty, you seem to understand me more than any woman I have come across for the last two decades. all I my life I had only loved one person, he name was mary, she's late now, she died of cancer in 96. her name was Mary. I married my ex wife because i was alone, I knew she couldn't have kids but I still didn't care because I just wanted to be with someone, someone to help fill the void mary created, i didn't want a family,the only person I wanted to build a family was mary. I understand why my ex left me, she knew I didn't love her, we fucked but didn't make love, we spoke but never really talk, we were simply partners, and so I have been with ever woman since mary.....until now, now all my hormones are on fire, every cell in my body, all my molecules, tissues, tendons and ligaments are excited, my passions have been rekindled....my flames burns once again...for you...you are flame that keeps my soul warm..i feel frightened, scared, confused and happy, you make me feel alive, something I cant remember the last time i felt it. Iwona, I love you, its not my choice, I do...like breathing..its just a reflex...please don't leave me(heart)''

What should I think guys????

He's a scammer - legitimate people do not beg (or use emotional blackmail) people they have only known a few days for money.

The best thing to do is totally block him and just disappear - all the time you are in contact with him, he will continue his lies to you.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Hi Yvonne,
May I ask what happened after you posted this? Did you block him? Did you stay in contact? Did you give him any money?
I think I met the same guy online just a couple of weeks ago...
Don't know what to do... :|

Hello Ilona1974,
Anyone that you meet on a dating site that asks for money before you have had a face to face meeting is a scammer. Once they ask for money stop all contact and block them.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

By now I know he stole Fotos from some Norwegian guy... He had 3 fake Facebook accounts... Told me the exact story he told Yvonne ... Except he's got German roots, mother in Berlin, contract in turkey...

I hope this might help any other woman of he keeps using this identity... :(

And yes... If course I blocked him...
