Reports :

Luxury-style photographs and claims of financial success appear to form part of the identity using the name Leon Marchetti. The account reportedly claimed to be 69 years old and living in Portland, Oregon. A mature, wealthy-looking image may help the scammer appear safe and financially independent. The relationship may begin with companionship and gradually become romantic. Future plans, travel, or promises of a serious relationship can strengthen the victim's trust. Later, a temporary financial problem involving business, banking, or travel may be introduced. Because the person appears wealthy, the victim may believe repayment is guaranteed. The complainant alleges that money was ultimately lost.
