Has an online love interest asked you for money?

I do, send me your email and I will send his picture to you.

My sister met a guy on POF I’m trying help her figure out if he is real or not his name he says is Tyler virgin and he is in the navy deployed right now

I was contacted on POF in early Feb 2020 by a man who sent his picture right away with hisc1stcmsg. (A way of deleting his profile from the site) He looked professional and had kind words. I hadn't given out my email or phone # except on a rare occassion. This man named Christopher was a charmer. He said he was an enviornmental engineer on a project that was his last job on an oil rig in the gulf of Mexico. He was very polite and sent me poetry almost daily. He said he had moved to my state just recently before this last job. We sent messages daily and talked frequently. We laughed and had alot of fun getting to know one another, so I thought. It was his way to gain trust to fall for his BS that he was falling in love and couldn't wait to meet me! He said he lived in Norway then moved to New York then recently Seattle. He then about a month or so later told me the Chineese raised the price of their chemicals that he needed to finish his job. He asked for a loan of $20,000 to be sent via his agent in NY. I told him I didn't think I could because of the situation of the Corona Virus etc. I was stunned by his request! I then told him about lots of grants & loans and he said he would pass them on to his agent. He then called with good news and said he got a grant and he would now share what he was going to make off this big job with me, ya right?!! Not long after he asked for money again and I said I didn't know him and couldn't do it. He then kept sending nice poems but it seemed like a way to avoid conversation but build a love connection. He woukd usually call early in the morning or late at night, that seemed suspicious. He then called and said his daughter in law was going to lend him $5000 so he just needed $5000 from me. Well, after declining again he became angry and didn't text as much or call. I questioned why and he said "how can you care so much for me but let me rot here." I've let my entire family down!" He also accused me of "tearing his heart out"!!! I told him that I was not responsible for his problems in so many words and he apologized. I didn't hear back so for closure I told him I suspected his intentions and said he must have been terribly spoiled or angry at women. I told him I wished instead of another target I could have been a friend as a source for becoming a better person. My friends thought that was too kind...it was closure for me. So beware, and fortunately I didn't send any money however I have to admit I believed he cared a great deal about me at first, it was part of his scheme!

Sounds similar to the guy who tried to scam me. On his 60's though...Was his name Christopher or Jason?

What happened? I met someone with a similar story but was an engineer from New York who was working in Germany.

Are you sure? Is he still using the name Stijn Sebastien Twichell Colassanti?! Please be aware! He is a monster! And a fantastic actor! Don’t fall into his false words! Report him!
