So I was right to be suspicious of that guy. The red flags started flying yesterday morning. He claimed he had to go to Rio to buy 350 tons of Brazilian hardwoods. Then he sent a bunch of pictures to prove he was there, but when I downloaded them, it automatically sorted them into a folder dated Aug 8, 2018 and when I clicked details for the pics, that's the date it said they were taken. Then, he texted and said he was going to dinner and there was nothing more. About 4:30 in the morning he emailed and claimed he was mugged and they stole his bag with his laptop and documents and apparently his wallet. He claimed a nurse was helping him write the email, but the police had found his phone and were holding it. So then he texted last night and said he had been discharged from the hospital and had his phone, and that he had reported his cards stolen and they were sending a replacement overnight courier. Then he texted again and said they wouldn't send a replacement card overseas so he was waiting on a bank transfer of $250,000 to complete his project, but it would take 3 days. Then this money, he finally asked for a loan that he would pay back Thursday...
...I told him no, and he said he was very disappointed in me. I said I was sorry if I had misjudged him, but my nephew, the police officer, had warned me about scammers. Then I said, "What part of the fact that I lost my home and everything in a fire, and have been off work for a month did you not understand." LOL I haven't heard from him since
