Hi everyone -
Has anyone else been scammed by an Eric Richie? his story to me was that he is a civil engineer. that he worked for an international company that did engineering projects of building oil platforms and bridges. He said he lived in aggasiz Bc, that he was in vancouver,bc getting supplies for his big project and was going out of town for this project. a few red flags that I now see clearly. people who live in bc and are talking to someone from bc, don't add bc after the city. and he doesn't answer questions directly. Sends alot of romantic fluff and says how much I am the worman of his dreams etc...... we have never met. He has a son that lives with his mother in south africa.
up to the time that he sent the exact word for word romantic email that another scammer 'peter butterfield' had sent me, i was going to meet him when he arrived back in bc. which I see now would never happen as he was not real.
I goggled the romance email and found it was a total scam that alot of other ladies had received also and since then I found peter butterfield scammer posts on here.
I didn't let on I knew he was a scammer and I didn't stick around for the money request. I closed the communication with both scammers, letting them think I thought we were not a good match and left it there. I didn't want them changing their scam technique. better he and others continue thinking we don't have them figured out.
