What name did the scammer use?: Robbert Smith
What site/app did you first meet the scammer on?: Facebook
What email address(es) did the scammer use?: robbertsmith47@gmail.com , robbertpaul43@gmail.com (say his son Paul)
What phone number(s) did the scammer use?: we didn´t call, they say they can´t call or receive phones
Please include any photos/documents sent to you by the scammer.:





Briefly explain what happened during the scam. : He contacted me on Facebook 17.2.2020, he was very nice, he said he fell in love with me and after 10 days he said he wanted to marry me. Right now I'm playing his game, I'm also in love, he's supposed to retire in three months, we'll live together forever, and his son wants to call me Mom. He has now sent me very important documents and precious items not to come into the hands of the Taliban. Still insults if I have any doubts. When I wanted to know who he was photographed under the flag of the US, he told me that he said with his commanding officer (I knew it was David Petraeus, who is almost 10 years retired). On Monday I'll get a package from Afghanistan, so I wonder what will happen.
Did you send any money to the scammer? If so, how much?: No, I told him I didn't have any money..
