There is nothing wrong with you . . . However, I had a similar experience that may or may not be authentic in relation to you. First of all, consider where you met this new love. I suspect it was on a dating site. Please correct me along the way if I am wrong.
The man I met was on a dating site. I was head over heals. He told me he was vascular surgeon and "general doctor" in Syria on a 2 year UN contract that would be ending in April 2022. He is very good looking and I decided to share his photo with a good friend of mine who lives out of state.
She contacted a friend of hers and sent the picture along. Her friend contacted a similar site that I use called "Social Catfish" and they scanned the photo. (anyone can do this). All you do it right click the photo and select "Copy" and follow the simple directions by clicking on the picture and entering it in the box provided on Social Catfish. Likely if they are a fraud up to dozens of photos will pop up.
Dozens of photos came up on my man which indicated catfish.
I was shocked but not heartbroken. After all, I had "known" him only a very short time,
When you confront them they will vehemently deny it. They will start with all the pretty words they know got to your heart and caught you. They will have you believing that they were hacked, scammed, taken advantage of and the like. Don't listen it is a scam. Most importantly,
do not send money in any form to this person or persons.
Many will post on a site that they are "animal lovers", and that they are widowed.
As hurtful as this could be to you, please take your man's photo many of them if you can and check out one of the Catfish fraud sites and follow the instructions. In the long run, you will not be sorry.
If your man does not come on the catfish site, it is not a guarantee.
The other thing I did with my new man is have him take a photo or scan of the front
and back of a current driver's license and send the pics to you. This will offer you some protection and the genuine man will comply.
If he is anywhere near authentic, he will respect your efforts to protect yourself. I don't want to burst your bubble or hurt your heart but please check any man wanting a relationship with you this way.
Please , please, protect yourself. I know emotions are running high but you will find the
right guy.
There are many of these scammers out there with enticing stories of who they are and what they are doing.
Before I left the site I was on, those interested in me had pictures attached to their profile. Two of them I checked out I reported and they were immediately removed from the dating site within seconds. The dating site will use there investigative tools to confirm.
Questions are welcome. PM me if you would like. Best of luck to you.
