US-Cambodia SCAM with Fake Accident

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Oh dear !. Can you not just close your eyes and use your imagination.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I met this man, Alfredo Douglas Webster on Plenty of Fish dating site, Jan 2017. I have been texting and talking with him daily for two months. I was always pressuring him to send a video because I watch CATFISH the TV Show on MTV, and he seemed too good to be true. He sent plenty of pictures but never a video. Lately I had told him we needed to meet because it was ridiculous that he was in San Fran and I was in Seattle and we hadn't met yet. Suddenly, he got a contract in Cambodia and was leaving in a day so we would have to meet when his work was done there. My spidey senses were tingling, but when he "arrived" there he sent me an email reassuring me he was committed to our "love" and would be coming up to meet me before he even went home. After a two day hiatus in communication I was contacted by his "interpreter" via his email account and told of a "ghastly" car accident he was involved in. The second I saw the email, my heart sunk because it screamed scam. I told my two friends that had been following along that next he would ask me for money. And several hours later he was texting me and begging for money. This was TODAY at 10:06 AM.
I found this article by doing an image search of the pic he sent me when he "arrived" in Cambodia. So this person is alive and well and continuing to attempt scamming other people.

Ha! These African guys sure do know how to sweet-talk a lady when they want to. Glad you sussed him out. Just remember when a guy is that romantic, it's gotta be a scam. :D

You can't post images from gmail. Doesn't work.
You need to copy the image to your PC/laptop/phone, then follow the instructions below to upload using TinyPic.
