Typhoid Fever?

If he does have it, I hope he recovers fast.

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.

It also doesn't make sense that a guy who is supposedly an engineer and travels for a living would have such a crappy phone.

I used to travel on company funded travel. It was great for saving because I went to all sorts of great places and didn't have to spend much money of my own. It didn't cost to much to stay and extra day or two and see the sights.

Hi Kitty,

I am so sorry you are feeling so heartbroken.

I found the following and thought you might like to see if it is useful to help you in some way.

According to that article, claiming to be an engineer working in a foreign country is pretty common among scammers, as is the constant excuses why they can't video chat.

I am sorry to read all this. While it does sound like a scam to me, I've heard these guys are very good at saying what women need to hear. Which means, until the money comes up, they do give you something: the sense you are cared about and understood. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to turn the tables, you use THEM instead of letting them use you. If you don't send anything, don't give any real personal information, and remember every step of the way that it is most likely fantasy, not reality. Then enjoy it like a good book, but not an ounce more. I wonder if that is possible, or if the relationships are destined to be damaging no matter how aware the woman?

I ounce had a long distance relationship with a guy I had met while he was traveling. First date was in person. But I am 100% sure everything he told me was a lie. He never asked for money or anything like that. Not sure what his game was, what he wanted from me besides the sense of victory for getting me to believe what he told me. The bucket of cold water was seeing his picture in a post office most wanted poster. There among the alias' was the name I had known him by. Just, wow.

There are a zillion ways people can be taken for a ride. I don't know for sure if that is what happened in your case, but the odds are good. My friends saw the con in my guy long before I did. In fact, without that poster I would never have been sure.
