We met on the dating site fdating. Communication was normal and interested from the start. The scam was really difficult to detect: passports, documents, everything really "fit" and was realistic. We exchanged long emails and developed a close relationship. I invited her to my place. She said she needed a passport for this. It would take six months at the bureau, and she said she knew a travel agency that could issue a passport in a short time. But it costs $250. I gave her the money via Western Union because she doesn't have a checking account. Then came the trip. She insisted on handling everything through the travel agency because she would have insurance there if something went wrong. The trip cost $592. I gave her the money there, too. She needs €700 to enter the EU. I gave her the money. On the day of the trip, she texted me (because she supposedly doesn't have a smartphone) that it was an emergency and that she had sent me an email. I called her, and she was crying on the phone and told me to read the email first. In the email, she told me she couldn't cross the border because she still owed court money. She was able to type the email on an official's computer. That's unbelievable. That's when I first realized something was wrong, and I didn't send her any money. So she had to go back to her city, and we wrote to her normally again over the next few days. We explained our views. She assured me on the phone and in emails that she loved me and wasn't cheating on me. I consider myself an empathetic person, but even I believed her. It's truly amazing how good this woman is. I believed her, and we agreed to try again. She paid off her debts and, of course, needed money for the new trip. €710, and I sent her the money. The day after I sent her the money, she sent me an email. In it, she wrote that she had been attacked by a man and fainted. "I woke up in my sister's arms." The money, of course, is gone.
