He started talking to me a bit less than 2 weeks ago. Found me through Tinder. We are supposedly still in touch.
He goes by Brandon Philips W. and he claims he is in the military in Alabama while originally from Oregon. Age 32. He has 2 dogs.
Came out of a long relationship but no kids and no dead wife. In all honesty, I would've caught up earlier had he claimed that he had a dead wife. He caught his girlfriend cheating on him with his neighbor.
Many things raised small red flags but because the general conversation was "how's your day" or "what did you eat" I kind of ignored it. I googled his name a few times but came out empty.
It was inonsistencies like "I am looking first for friendship cause I was hurt", then "I am looking for a serious relationship that leads to marriage" then in 5 days time claiming he loves me. Then he said "I believe that one day we will meet. Do you believe it?" And I was like, something's very wrong.
He never asked me for money, if anything he said he wanted me to be his sugar baby that he showers with money and gifts. That's when I was like, Ok time to look up his picture since his name was not coming up with anything. Thank you Catfish for teaching me that. LOL. And this led me here. Thank you.
I also just checked and he has apparently deleted his Tinder profile now. I cant find messages there or anything. We were talking originally through Tinder and then through Hangouts. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to see what email he's using, it'll only show me his name. Fake name that is. These are the pictures he sent me.
I am so glad that through the hardships of my life I have learned to pay attention to the flags and trust my instinct.
Sucks though cause let's face it, the guy in the pics is cute. Hahahaha! Oh, well. Another one bites the dust.
