So unfortunately like so many others on this site I fell victim to this guy only he went by the name of Charles Tracht with me.
I met him on POF (do not have a image of his POF profile), but said he was from Milton, Ontario and was looking for a longterm, committed relationship. When I commented that he lives close to me he confessed he was 35 years old and stationed in the military in Nigeria as a Mechanical Engineer and that he would be coming home soon.
Well just like everyone else on here I fell for his stupid words of love - told me he loved me and I was his angel and his everything and the only one who made him happy and all this other sweet sounding words of love and romance.
Well he would ask me for ITunes Gift Cards for things he needed like Data for his phone, money to buy a new phone as he broke his and just recently a plane ticket home from Nigeria to Toronto that cost $150. I asked him why he couldn't get these things himself and he told me he didn't have access to his bank accounts anymore and that his boss was broke and couldn't help him out anymore. I asked how an ITunes gift card would help him pay for those expenses mentioned above and he told me that his boss sells them online for the cash. So stupid me tell for all this guy was saying hook, line and sinker. He even sent me what I thought were current pictures of him, that after reading these blogs on here are clear where not current in the moment pictures of him as he has sent these to numerous other woman as well.
The thing is I had done a Goole search of him and found his image on RomanceScam.Com, Peekyou.com and various Facebook Accounts as you will see from my pictures) and when I questioned all this and asked WTF was going on he gave me a sob story about how his ex was setting him up and doing all this as she found out about "us" and was mad and how he was not a scammer and I had to believe him and trust him which I stupidly did.
The catch is he told me he arranged an early leave home from Nigeria - said to be coming home on Nov.20th, and that he had a very big and beautiful surprise for me (made it out that he was gonna propose to me at the airport) but that due to his leaving early from the military I needed to pay his flight home which stupidly I did. Well I asked him to arrange a ride to the airport with his best friend's girlfriend who he said lives in Milton so we could see our guys (Charles and her boyfriend) together but he would never give it to me saying that his best friend hasn't given his girlfriends information to him yet. I was getting more and more supscious that something wasn't right especially when I asked him for his flight information the day he was to fly home (Nov.20th) and he never gave it to me saying it wasn't booked yet - how could a flight that leaves that day not be booked? Didn't make sense to me.
Well he never messaged (all communication was via WhatsApp at the number 1 - 914 - 481 - 9479) that he had arrived at the airport and I should arrange to go and meet him, which I found weird - especially for a guy who claimed to be so in live with me and couldn't wait to see me. So I waited another whole day and finally got a message from a commanding officer today (Nov. 21st) informing me that his flight never left Nigeria last night as they were attacked at their Military camp before leaving for the airport and that Charles Tracht and that everyone else on baord was injured. Even sent me a 10 second video showing what looked to be a Military guy on a bed getting his leg that was wounded operated on stating I needed to fill out a form and send $500 to them to bring him back home after he recovered. I questioned this as being a scam to the "commanding officer" who messaged me via WhatsApp and he literally replied "WTF why would you accuse me of being a scammer when I am trying to help you?" I said if you were really a commanding officer in the military you wouldn't be swearing at me and he replied "sorry but no one else is giving me a hard time about this just you". Meaning he did this exact same thing to others. I went online and sent him confirmation via research I did online that the Military pays for everything including flights and medical care and that there are no forms to fill put for anyone in the Military to be able to come home and he told me " I don't have time for this bullshit (big clue it was a scam right there as a commanding officer in the military wouldn't talk to you like that) and that he was going to report me to his boss which would make getting "Charles" home next to impossible.
I have since blocked this guy but EVERYONE BEWARE AS THIS GUY WILL LURE YOU IN WITH SWEET WORDS VIA POF AND WHATSAPP BUT HE IS A SCAMMER, AND A LIAR ONLY WANTING TO DRAIN YOU OF MONEY AND HE IS A FAKE. ALL THESE PICTURES I HAVE POSTED YOU CAN EASILY SEE BY GOING THROUGH OTHER POSTS THAT HE IS FAKE AND A USER - SENDS THE SAME PICTURES OF HIMSELF TO MULTIPLE WOMAN.
And I have no idea what his real name is as there are multiple Facebook accounts linked to his name - one of a brown guy and one of him by the name of James Albert Tracht married to a Caitlin Tracht.
JUST BEWARE EVERYONE AS THIS GUY IS A FAKE AND A LIAR.
