Briefly explain what happened during the scam. :
I was on the dating site Elite. I was contacted by Gabriel. After 3 days of contact he asked me to go to Whatsapp. So we started to chat only. He said he was on a ship working on a big project installing fiber optic cables between Finland and Sweden. Then after 3 weeks of romance the machine that installs the cables broke. He needed to order a new one but he couldn't access his bank account. He asked me to help him make the transactions from his bank account. I entered his bank account, he gave me all the info of log in, password... everything was a success. We got a mail from the Ayaskar industrial company with the message that the order is collected. When the order was ready he had to pay for the shipment , a tax code would not be accepted and he had to pay a fee of $15,900. He asked me to pay as he tried on the ship but he would not have access to the bank. I payed ,unfortunately. He got a new tax code. So, when we started to pay for the shipment another code would not go through, the IMF code. For that he had to pay another fee of $28,500. He asked me if I could pay. I said I have no this money. I helped him to write a letter to the Bucovina bank for them to update the code and that he will pay the fee after the code will be active again. We were waiting for the banks answer. During this time I told my family about this situation. They warned me that this could be a scam. I checked the phone from Invoice Proforma on Google and I saw that it was a scam number. This is how I came here.
