The same style of words, "dearest, lost wife, has the only daughter, "you need to trust me" " etc. etc. This time he pretends to be Italian that moved back to US.

Welcome avoid!

I have merged the topics on this scammer to keep all of the information in one place.

It's clear from the very first writing sample that the person is an African, not an American or an Italian, and it's definitely a romance scammer.

Could you post the email address this scammer is using?
