I'm sorry you were scammed, Bea.

Hello can someone help me. I have been talking to a guy who says he is in the Army, stationed in Iraq, widowed with 2 children. He wanted so desperately to come home to meet me, and for me to meet his children. He asked me to write an email to [email protected]. I did and I received a response back asking for a fee of $489.00 and then the guy had asked me to send an additional $100.00 so he would have cash to come home on. I was given the address where to wire the money and like a fool I did. So can anyone tell me how to make this guy pay for breaking my heart, lieing to me. Has anyone ever heard of [email protected]?
thank you for your support
