Seeing as he scammed you out of $300, I'd say good riddance.

Yeah, don't give money to people in that fashion. Especially those whom you've never even met in person.

Personally, I wouldn't count any interaction that has remained only online as a real romantic relationship anyway.

I think you would be better off trying to meet people in real life if you're susceptible to online scams like this.

Where did you get an exact amount before I could figure out if anything was given out at all?

She told us in a previous thread that she sent him $300.00 to help him get a new phone.

Keep in mind that this guy is supposedly an engineer, but he needed to ask a disabled woman for money. :roll:

This. He was not a boyfriend, he was a catfish/scammer. As well, real relationships involve "in real life" interaction.

Kitty,

I'm not trying to be mean, but if you want a serious "man/woman" relationship, then you need to start looking at men in your local area. That's not to say you still won't get lied to, but it's easier to verify a man is who he says he is if he only lives a few miles away as opposed to the other side of the world.

Furthermore, having an "online boyfriend" is okay when you're thirteen, but it's not really appropriate for an adult. And STOP giving men you barely know money.

Well. Ok. This one did not work out. Now you could do with finding another. I don't know much about the USA and places, but I believe the USA has quite a few single men out there. You are bound to find a good one. Just the right one for you!

I am sorry for you heartache Kitty.

And when you can ponder this experience at a later date you might see that you were fortunate to have this happen after only 8 months. Better than have to be ghosted after a year or two when you've invested more of your time and yourself in the relationship. It is his loss.

What you gave him was way more than what you should have.

STOP bad mouthing him everybody! We did talk about money, but I NEVER gave him the money. Since he is in Asia for work, he spent all his money on bills & food. His phone he have now, he got the phone from his company, it don’t have a video camera. His company going give him their credit card so he can buy a phone. His phone been pretty bad, alot of the times, the phone won’t let him type. He did came online, his phone wouldn’t let him type & he been sick with the typhoid fever.

All we're really saying here is that it doesn't make sense that someone with a career like he supposedly has, where he's travelling around the world, would need money from you. If he really cared about you, he wouldn't have taken that money from you, or even asked for it.
