I got myself into this unfortunate situation where I fell victim to a romance scam. After about 2 months of talking to her I realized I was being scammed by her. I have a little problem now.
Thoughout the course of our so called online relationship, she kept talking about how her late father had a huge sum of money at an off shore account that he had from his real estate business. According to her bank, she would only be able to claim the funds from her father if she found the "man she wants to be with". I complied to her demands and ended up giving this bank the information they wanted for me to acknowledge that I'm the man that she wants to be with. She would tell me that only I could claim the funds because it would be safer to be with me than with her. I ended up faxing this bank my drivers license and they opened an account with a claim of 4 Million dollars. She kept telling me to transfer money out of the account to make sure that the account is legit, so I did. All of a sudden I got a few emails from Bahama government officals, one from the Internal Revenue Service Bahamas, and another from the Financial Intellegence Unit. Both of these documents were emailed to me by the bank telling me that I have stop order on the bank account and that it has been frozen because the funds deemed to be deficient and I needed a "Funds Transfer Authentication Code" as the transfer identity to show the origin of these funds. I needed to pay close to $11000 to be able to unfreeze the account and be able to use the bank account. To me it all sounds fake, The documents looked like they were forged, had mispellings, and had fake telephone numbers. I researched this and I found out that scammers have been misusing the FIU logo and that "Funds Transfer Authentication Code" letters are not real. I researched about the Internal Revenue Service Bahamas and they didn't even exist, or at least they actually have a different name. I can't believe I fell for this and now I'm worried. This girl I'm talking too is insisting that the claim is real and she wants me to pay for this fee.
I'm worried about this because I don't want to get into trouble and I need to know if this bank and people I got involved with are all scammers. I need your help.
