Briefly explain what happened during the scam. :
The person contacted me and we had dialogue for many weeks. He told me that he had been single for 10 years after his wife died of a long battle with breast cancer. Eventually he told me he was in love with me and I fell for it. He said he was from the US, living in Buffalo NY and was awarded a contract to do a job in Cyprus. He then proceeded to fly to Cyprus sending me photos of him going to the airport and then when he arrived there he was contacting me every day letting me know how things were going. One day he was at his site and dropped his phone and couldn't get it fixed due to no parts available in the country and so was apparently using a cracked phone to communicate with me. He said because it fell he could no longer send me pictures because the camera was not working.
Then he had ordered some materials from China that he needed to go to Customs for. He didn't go with enough money and said he had to get his mother who was in Finland to go into his account and transfer the funds to him because he couldn't log into his bank account from Cyprus. Then the bank flagged the transaction and locked his account. He then told me the bank wouldn't re-open his account, that he had to go do a biometric validation and didn't have any money to pay for his hotel.
He said he was going to contact his translater to see if he could help with his funds and so he could leave. The translater didn't have enough but gave him some of the money.
I got emails from the hotel and construction company as well that he said he was working for.
Here are the websites: https:/ /www.tom-mansion.com/ and the Construction company he said awarded him the contract was: dixelgroup-construction.com/index.html.
Did you send any money to the scammer? If so, how much? No

Subject: I'm falling into you
To:
Sweetheart, I felt a great impulsion on me ever since I started talking
to you. i know you are an end to my search or to say a realization of my
dreams because you are just what i am looking for and you know when i
keep talking to you i feel that is coming to be true and i pray and hope
it does. i want to see where this go and being a one man woman , i will
give this a total chance and i am sure it will take us to our dreams
achieving long term goals together. I'm just seeing myself falling for
you everyday, and believe me i am getting so acquainted to you even
though we have not meet in person . Ever since we started sending
messages and talking to each other...I've been so much thinking about
you,looking at your pictures and hoping the days could fly so fast so we
can be able to meet. There is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been
running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts
into words so you will have to bare with me through this.I keep thinking
about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking
about us and what this relationship means to me. I keep thinking about
these things and I realize they go hand in hand. This relationship is
our future; it's what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you. I
want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think
I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the
one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our
house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how
gorgeous you are. I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then
I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want
to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub
lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I
want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want
to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall
asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats
for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the
last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning
hair; I think it will be so cute. I want to sit on the beach with you
and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the
love that we obviously have for each other.I want to see you walk down
that isle and I want to take your hand for the rest of my life. I want
to spend all night, and maybe the next day, making love to you with an
undying passion. I want to sit there talking to you for hours about
nothing at all but in the same time everything or maybe we won't talk at
all and just grin at each other realizing how lucky we are. I want you
to get mad at me for doing something stupid, and I want you to bust out
laughing when you try to yell at me.I want us to run outside in the rain
and act like total kids getting completely soaked, and when we come back
in stripping down to nothing as we stumble into the bedroom, or the
kitchen counter, or the balcony, or the dining room table, or an office
desk, or the shower, which ever one we feel like at the time.I want it
to take your breath away every time I say, "I love you" because you know
it's coming from the heart.I want us to sit down with a box of
strawberries, a bottle of chocolate syrup, and a thing of mint chocolate
ice cream; well, I'll let your imagination finish that one. I couldn't
really express in words what I'm feeling right now.I just want you to
know that I had never found someone I wanted to spend the rest of my
life with until now you came into my life. I pray God will crown this
relationship with Love,trust and understanding. i was thinking i will
grow old looking for a soul mate. someone i will love and cherish with
all my heart. Now i know that they who believes in the LORD are like
mountain Zion which can never be moved but abide forever. Honestly God
has giving me every reason to smile again. In just few weeks of talking
to you.I won a contract. Its really a sign of good things to come and
better future with you. I know i have not seen you but may God bless
that faithful day we will meet.
Find attached the contract document I received from dixel group
construction today. We will celebrate this win.
