This scammer uses that Confidence Trick to empty your bank account with promises of marriage. He is already married. He scamed me out of $5,000 and countless of other Fiances. He uses Western Union to collect money and writes fraudulant WU numbers when allegedly paying back the money, the money never gets paid back because he made a fake WU number. I have since learned he had defrauded a woman out of $20,000, cellphones, and trucks for 8 years of engagement.

A confidence trick or confidence game (also known as a bunko, con, flim flam, gaffle, grift, hustle, scam, scheme, swindle or bamboozle) is an attempt to defraud a person or group by gaining their confidence. The victim is known as the mark, the trickster is called a confidence man, con man, confidence trickster, grifter, or con artist, and any accomplices are known as shills. Confidence men or women exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as greed, both dishonesty and honesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté, and the thought of trying to get something of value for nothing or for something far less valuable. Confidence men or women have victimized individuals from all walks of life.

A common scam is for a person overseas to start an e-mail exchange with a Canadian. The person presents himself or herself as an attractive, interesting person in a foreign country. After a while, this “friend” says he or she wants to visit and asks for money to pay for the visa, airfare or other related costs. He or she may even send an electronic scan of what looks like a Canadian visa.
At the last minute, the person will say there are problems with their passport, or a family member is seriously sick, and they need even more money to deal with the situation. The person never arrives at the airport and is likely not booked on the flight. Victims can lose thousands of dollars.
Remember, processing fees are the same at all Canadian visa offices around the world. Fees in local currency are based on official exchange rates and correspond to the amount in Canadian dollars.
