I didn't hesitate to add him first because we have mutuals and I thought that other friend of mine knows him as well.
He DMed me on Instagram and he wanted to continue our chat to Telegram. I accepted the invite to connect via Telegram and had a daily conversation with him. It was basically like a courting stage and when he is hinting of having a relationship with him, I always say no and tells him that we need to meet physically first before I can say yes to him because he already mentioned even in the beginning of our chat that he will be visiting my country and relocate here. He made plans to travel last December 12, 2022 but during his supposed flight, he made a mistake of sending an edited booking confirmation with invalid details like the scheduled date and time of departure and arrival and also the destination city is typographically incorrect. If I am someone that does not know how to travel, I will not be able to caught on with his lies. I called him out regarding his flight error, so he wasn't able to fool me because of it. He was mad and he keeps on saying that I was mocking him. The following day, since I am not yet 100% sure that he is a scam, I told him a story of a friend of mine being romance scammed as well and that we are already coordinating it with the husband of my cousin who is already a retired general but is still working with the government. He tried to persuade me to share his info to my friend and contact him to help him track the scammer but I said that the we are already in contact with my cousin's husband. Now, he stopped messaging me already after knowing that I have connections to the authorities.
I feel bad to the real guy that he is being used in this kind of scam. He might not be aware yet of the scams his imposters has been doing all along.
