Dear all,
First of all I have to apologize for my bad English as it is not my mother language.
I'm European. Recently I've been contacted by the person on Tinder who told me was doctor in Miami worked for US Government.
After a while (let's say 10 days after we met he told me that he was traveling to Syria, exactly 17th of October). Than he asked me to help him to get an emergency vacation which was approved but I was asked to pay Eur. 2.250,00 only for international traveling stamp for returning officer James Osbourne. Obviously I said I had no money... My biggest problem is that I sent to [email protected] the copy of mine ID as they had requested:
Has anyone had a similar experience and whether I am exposed to some risk?
How can I help prevent someone from having the same experience?
I have the photos of this man and all our conversation.
Please suggest me what to do.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Annamaria
