“David Anderson" connected with me on FB dating and started to talk and text. He said he was in love with me and talked about how he was doing a large oil deal and would look after me. He gave me a website for his business. he also had a LinkedIn profile that matched his description and the photo. There were some red flags that I ignored. He used three phone numbers and Skype. The numbers did not have a voice mail which was odd. I also couldn't find information on him when I googled. He told me he liked to be private. He told me not to tell my friends about him. Which was odd. He was talking or texting me two or three times a day for about a month.
He said he was gay and his husband had died of cancer four years ago. He was half Brazilian and had a graduate degree in engineering. After we started talking he told me he was going to NY and then to Istanbul. He sent me some documents that showed a large oil deal. He promised to be there for me.
The final red flag was that he needed to pay taxes to get the deal. The letter was for $170,000 and he said he had $100,000. He said that he would try and find the money and he didn't know what to do. I talked with him because it didn’t make sense. If you can do a multi-million dollar deal you can find 100k and you would know about this upfront.
I googled his name but did not find anything but when I googled the company name and his name and he came up on a number of scamming sites.

Then used WhatsApp even though we had never communicated on that.
These numbers which 44 is the UK
44 746 700 648 (had photo and message was from David Anderson)
48 732 121 157 (biz account) assume it is the same scam
I have documents he sent with information about the deal.
Please pass this along. It seems he (or the group that is doing this) target dating sites - straight and gay. I am smart and run a business but I almost sent money to help him out.
