What can you tell me about this guy? He got very upset when I refused to buy his son an iPhone 5 or something comparitable for his birthday. He was trying to make me feel guilt by saying he was going to spend that much on me for my gift, which I had celebrated right after we started chatting. Every time we chatted that was the first thing he asked me! Then he texted me and said I had changed, I wasn't the woman he first met! I know a controller/manipulator when I meet one, even online. I have since removed him from getting in contact with me, but I just wanted to verify that I was right about this scammer also!

@Aspen2013
can you post a message and the corresponding header/IP?
do you have more pics, and do you still have his dating site profile?

and he got upset - smells scammer

That is the picture he had on Matchmaker.com. and Yahoo Msgr. when we chatted.

Can you post one or two of the emails he sent you?

The writing will often tell us a lot, including whether he is likely to be African.

Edit to add: Oops, I added this response to the wrong thread.

There is no question this is a scammer. Legitimate people on dating sites don't start demanding iPhones from people they have just met, period.
