Information on romance scams and scammers.

Bradley Bolton was my scammer. He poses as a petrochemical engineer (offshore drilling) who works overseas - Nigeria, Malaysia, Scotland, etc. Claimed when he got to Malaysia for his job, he discovered the banks in Malaysia would not take "wire transfers" from banks in the UK, where his money was - would only take them from the U.S. or Canada (where I live). Wanted me to set up an offshore domicillary account with his fake accountant, David Noel, in London (who would have gotten all of my identifying info). (later learned I would have had to have been a permanent, full time resident of the UK to have opened up such an account in the UK). He was going to have his accountant put hundreds of thousands of dollars into my account (his entire savings and Exxon-Mobils money, as well), then I was to wire the money to him in Malaysia. Of course, the money would have gone bad from my account to Malaysia and I would have been liable for repaying the entire amount. I would have been liable for paying "gift" taxes to the IRS on this money, and might have been accused of money laundering and tax evasion (one reason those accounts are set up). All of this, and I would not even have kept the money. When I questioned him about all of this, he had no answers, but got irritated with me. Then he wanted me to take the money out of my retirement account. I told him there would be a 60% penalty. He didn't care. He tried everything and squeezed me harder and harder, saying that if he could only get to London, he could get access to his money. When I finally offered to leave him a ticket at the KL airport for London, he declined, stating "taking my money had to be on HIS terms and that (he could ALWAYS get to London (all of a sudden) and that he had bills to pay." After trying for months to get my money and not succeeding, he "left" me for a woman who would "have his back" (send him money). This man HATES women, has not an ounce of respect for them and will say ANYTHING to get money. He has since threatened my life and cussed at me up and down. All I can say is this - big deal!!!!!!!!!! I am NOT scared of a heartless, souless, lovesless man who lives in Nigeria, who sits in internet cafes all day long lying and cheating to women.
