He's still out there ladies. I read about him on Scamwarners after sensing he was heading toward an ask for money. He found me on Match. com. He's still using the plot line of being a mineral geologist who lost his wife and son in a car accident, adopted by his stepmother after abuse by his natural father. Moving to the U.S. to start over. He inaccurately described a local area where he planned to live even after reportedly visiting. His poor of use of language and spelling were tips. He did call me once and his emails got more and more affectionate as time went on. He finally called from Dubai after attempting to purchase precious gems of course needing help with penalties because he didn't have the correct paperwork. This delayed his arrival in the U.S. and he only sent the "ask" after he said he had exhausted the help of friends. I played along the more suspicious I got and simply told him I couldn't afford to send money. NO further contact. He did attach photos and I compared those with another scammer detailed online, exact same pics. At least they aren't really smart. Hopefully others will discover the scam before being sucked in. I wasn't thank goodness.
