Briefly explain what happened during the scam. : We met on Tinder, he seemed genuine, said he was in the US Army, at Mac Dill, Florida. Had a son, the mother had left son so he was bringing him up. He had no other family. Originally from the Philippines and had moved to States age 15. Only child. Moved to needing help with his WiFi, so started sending money, then he would get sick, then his birthday, then he needed a phone so he could speak to me, then he wanted to progress in army to Commander position and that required money, then that didn't happen. He then said he would come visit me so I sent more money for his flights, hotel accommodation, taxis etc. This continued until I made him tell me the truth. He was nothing like the images I have attached and in Nigeria.
Images of the scammer:

Tunde told me he lived close to the army barracks and that was where he got the phone from and had used the images on that phone. He said he was a computer technician and fashion designer in his spare time. He also told me he was originally from a place called Ekiti and now he lived in Abuja.
