I think my husband has fallen for a scammer. She friended him on Facebook after he commented on a page. Three weeks after they started chatting, he tells me he wants a separation because he has fallen in love with her. He’s never actually met or even seen her because she says she doesn’t have a web cam or smart phone. He has only seen pictures she sent him or what she has posted on her Facebook profile. Most of the time they chat on Facebook or Skype, but I know she called him at least once that I know of and they talked for a total of three and a half hours.
Everything he has told me about her sets bells off in my head. Her story is that she is from Scotland; moved to Canada eight years ago. She had an abusive childhood and marriage. She has kids, but her ex has them. She has a party planning business, which she says can be done online and is also writing a book to submit to a publisher.
She is hiding from her ex because he beats her all the time; therefore she moves around a lot. When he finds her he beats her to the point that she is hospitalized and she signs herself out because she is tired of living in a hospital.
A week after he told me he wanted a separation, she gets beat up and ends up in the hospital. She told him to forget about her and deleted him as a friend after he told her about a fight we had. A few days later ‘her friend’ got on her Facebook account and contacted him to let him know that she was found in her office with broken ribs and sent to the hospital again. Shortly after that she added him as a friend again. Since then she has gotten beaten up at least one other time saying she went for a walk to the bank and he found her again.
She has had at least 3 different Facebook accounts with different names within the past 3 months stating she had to open new accounts because someone reported her.
He has several doubts about her, but refuses to give up. I got her number when he tried calling her once and it appears she is in Canada where she says she is. I paid to get her name and it was exactly the name she gave him, although it only gave her first name and he won’t give me her last name. I found an email from her, but I don’t know if the last name is real or not because she never uses her real name on Facebook.
