Second question:

Match.com - a man contacted me with a wink and then e-mailed me requesting to perhaps get to know me. On Match.com his name is: peterjosh333 and when he he e-mailed me he said that his real name is Frank Peter Hilson. He says that he is German. Has posted that he lives in Atlanta Georgia, is widowed, and has a daughter named Lisa, age 5. He says that he has a car business, "Frank's Auto Company" but on his Facebook page he has his friend's list hidden and very few photos, very few comments, and a few photos of fancy cars. We have spoken on the phone a few times. He doesn't have a lot to say, but seems shy. Does have an accent, but sounds a bit German, but hard to tell. He sent me a friend request on Facebook. This is his Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/peters.frank.16

He has a few pictures of him and one photo of his daughter. I have asked him to send me a few photos of him and his daughter. but haven't received any. He said he would be more than willing to come meet me.

His info on Facebook says :Work and Education

Work:
xcluxive auto company
Chief Executive Officer · Oct 2009 to present

Car dealership https://www.facebook.com/pages/Car-dealership/109147775770775
CEO & Founder · Washington, District of Columbia

Washington State University - Education
Pullman, Washington

Bell High School - High School
Ottawa, Ontario

I know since he lived in Washington D.C. it is very close to Maryland. so it is possible that he did work at the dealership.

His phone number is: 240-435-2838 ....most of the time when I call him, his phone goes to voicemail. But then he calls me back. Weird. He says his phone is messed up. He says he will visit and bring his child.

Please help me see if this is a scam.

Thank you...

Yet his profile says his name is Frank P Hilson - he seems unsure about his name.

Very unlikely with that name

I'll upload his stolen photos in a while.

This is just a generic page about car dealerships - not a particular business

A VoIP number - can be answered anywhere in the world, not something someone actually in the US would need.

Yes it is.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Thank you. I feel like such a fool. First time ever on a dating site and I get zapped twice in one week. I guess I will stay off the dating site.
