ok so I got scammed. Found this after the fact. Feel an idiot! Read the posts on here. The messages were so similar to what he said. Got sucked right in. Have lost a shed load of money but won't ever trust anyone ever again. Lesson learned.
Met him on match.com with the username "lovelybird " great picture with a great smile. He sent me about 6 pictures all matching. Even pictures with tattoo of his name. Did a search with them nothing came back. Still I didn't click.
I actually did lots of checks but could not find anything to make be disbelieve that this was a genuine person. Though I did not find this website until it was too late.
He told me is from Vermont, been in the army 16 years, retiring in December. Came to UK after meeting someone who turned out to be a jerk and pretender.
I thought I had done all due diligence before doing anything and didn't find anything. He has 2 names that he has UK bank accounts for. Terry Hill, bank account in Liverpool and the other David Spinks in Northampton. Checked out the account numbers again nothing suspicious. I have all the details if anyone wants them.
Turned it round on him. I know I won't see my money again and that is on me.
Told him I was in real trouble with my ex as I had given him money from a joint account. Told him the ex would beat me. He said he would get a couple of his buddies in the military to have a word if you know what I mean, threatened to kill him if he laid a hand on me. It is rubbish but he doesn't need to know that.
Watch out for him. He will be back trawling for another mug like me. I have been fooled big time, I thought I was doing all the right things but they are very good and don't leave traces that you can check.
