I originally had contact with this man through skype, he seemed pleasant at first, showering me with compliments, then eventually telling me he loved me and wanted to me to go and live with him and get married. I was flattered, i was going through a divorce at the time and felt lonely. Chatting to him was an escape from my troubles. However...weeks later, we were talking about the differances between our cultures, and the subject of money came up..he wanted money...mine! Alarm bells started ringing, and i asked why he didn't get a job, he said there wasn't any work he wanted to do. Never sent him any money, and i too blocked him after he gave me a line about being ill with tb!
