Hard to say where that first photo got taken, except to say it had a timber floor whereas tiled floors are the norm here.
I hope you reported the scam to your online match making service, Lea. He could be trying that on dozens of women.

Agree. (Report the scam.) The guy could be sending out help messages to women all over the US right now.timmydownawell wrote:Hard to say where that first photo got taken, except to say it had a timber floor whereas tiled floors are the norm here.

Thanks for getting back to us Lea. That's quite a story.

This is one of the many reasons why you shouldn't get engaged to someone you've never met.

Great attempted scam. Probably some fat, sweaty Nigerian sitting in an internet cafe in Phnom Penh responsible.

Haha, they Photoshopped "road rash" on the dude? That's pretty insane.leawebster wrote:loop supposedly at hospital
Sounds like you received emails from him and maybe from the "translator."
What IP Address(es) did the emails come from? If they were sloppy, they might not have taken the time to hide their real IP Addresses.
That would at least tell you what country they're in.
My bet is also Nigeria. Call it a hunch.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
