Approximately two and a half months ago I received a friend request from a gentleman onTwitter, which I don’t use often. He stated he was an independent contractor & physician stationed on a ship in France currently under contract which was due to expire the end of September, then will be returning home to the US to retire. As a nurse myself, we seemed to have a lot in common, and started an online relationship, and exchanged cell phone numbers. He gave me number (281j 972-5425, which showed up as being from Arcola, TX. The end of last week he told me he received word from previous employer that he has a settlement from back wages owed to him, and he wants to forward the money to me to use to purchase a home for us when he returns home. He said he instructed them that the funds are to me forwarded on to “his wife”, and wanted me to write the cargo/shipping company to make arrangements to do this. The company uses email [email protected], but no phone, address or other contact information. Yesterday, I the got forwarded email from the said doctor using the name Toni, but he gave me another name that his consignment box is suppose to be assigned, Richard Dikko Mateo. I told him I was uncomfortable giving my personal information to a company that doesn’t give me contact information and seems unprofessional with request for said info. I am just wondering, Is there any legitimacy to using consignment boxes for international shipping? They say it is suppose to be processed through an airport. I thought why would someone spend months just to get a small amount of money from another person. He seemed genuinely concerned, what should I do? Have you received any information on this person before. I read another woman had gone through something similar and wondered what she did and how it turned out back in June. I also can give you his Twitter account information, pictures he has sent me, date of birth, and information on his son and pictures of him as well.
