He sent a friend request on Facebook. Facebook profile had no friends and appeared new. He was widowed and had one son in boarding school. Thanked me for friending him. Said he worked for the UN stationed in Iraq as major sergeant in the Army specializing in communication and secretive missions. At first he was merely greatful for such a wonderful friendship. He was very poetic with words. Soon it turned to love. Again, he is very romantic and poetic with his words. This started at the beginning of July 2017. There would be a beautifully put good morning and again a goodnight in the evening. I am on full disability so I do have health issues. We would talk for hours at a time. He sent you tube videos of love songs and cared much for my health. He eventually wanted to take it to the next level. For me to be his wife. The fact that I am married did not sway him at all. He is quite convincing. He would talk about going on patrol. He was injured once. Then I was hospitalized. He was quite worried about my health. He then asked me to take an oath that included a particular verse from the bible about oaths. I was to cut my thumb with a blade, make a blood thumbprint n the verse, put a stop of my blood in a cup of water and throw it out. He wanted me to take a picture of each step. This then bound us for life and whomever broke this oath would die or great evil would come to them. After this, there were attacks on patrol killing his friends. He became anxious about the danger he was in and asked me to,help him apply for urgent early retirement through the UN. By this time we had been talking for many weeks. Again he is very good at what he does. He loved that I was family oriented and that's have permanent guardianship of my grandchild. He wanted us to have a joyfull happy life together for always and told me so repeatedly. He asked me to email the UN, giving me the address, content to write. Which I did. I immediately received a response back, thanking me for my correspondence, but they were busy and would get back to me at a later date. I questioned him about the validity of the email. I knew that this could not have been protocol. I told him I thought it was a scam, but he stood fast on his story. Did not go away, but became angry that I would question a man of his integrity. Several weeks later I received an email back from the supposed UN. Stating he would be aporoved, however due to his position in the communication area of this very cohvert misdion, it would require money to replace him. They gave me 5 options in various currencies converted to US dollars. It started at $11,000. I told him I had no money. Then blocked him on hangouts, where our communication took place. His Facebook page never stayed up for more than a day or so. I thought when I called him out on the scam, he would go away. But he emailed me enraged. I broke the oath so evil or death would come to me. Then you tube videos of I am done with you, I am over you etc. So I thought ok. It is over. Then the next morning he would message me asking how I was, how my health was, and how much he cares about me. I just keep telling him I have no way to get money. Has there been other scams similar?
