Welcome here linzp2010.

Thanks for telling the story about your mom. Sure we will help you and your mom. The best for now is that i give your mom a warning about being scammed, either via email or on the phone. Could you give me her email address and phone number in a PM? Be carefull with your mom, if she is in love with this scammer she could take everything you say to her wrongly. Most love scam victims don't want to see the truth and can take your concern as jealousy, and try to shut you out. In this topic here you can read more about romance scams: http://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=25
Is it possible to post one of his emails here, if possible with the full headers so we can trace him. If you don't know how to get the headers, just ask.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
