Met John Nelson through an internet dating site sounded really interesting but was away working in Nigeria but he had taken his 12 year old daughter with him as there was no one to look after her in London.

I thought it was strange at first but as we got chatting in the IM he explained he was american and his wife had died in a plane crash and he had been alone for 7 years.

Things were going along nicely and we were getting to know each other then he was robbed and his daughter was injured and he needed money to pay for her operation.

Of course being the mother i am i sent some money thinking i was helping him and his daughter.

Things got back to normal for a little while then he was coming home to see me and on the way to the airport they had an accident and then i had a doctor emailing me telling me i need to send money to save there lives.

The emails became quite threatening and then John text me saying i would need to sell my car so i could save his daughter's life.

I told him he had all the money i was going to send and he needed to contact the Nigeria consult to get the help he needed.

The next thing i know his daughter had died and it was all my fault but he still needed money from me to pay his hospital bills so he could come home.

This is when my son came and wrote and told John that i had been involVed in an accident and know more money would be sent to him.

To stop the emails and the textes my son had to tell him that i had died. He then tried to get money out of my son.

This man still advertises on the online dating site so ladies beware.
