Did you call him? I didnt...suspected it was a romance fraud/scam. I dont even think the picture was him either. Most of these frauds originated from africa...I notice some of his spellings in his emails using french or the likes used in Nigeria...that's how I became suspicious. Soonest I started asking abt his family details he stopped writing.
Iam a danish girl who was also contacted via facebook by this guy with exactly same number. Suspicious text - almost begging me for staying in contact. But something is wrong with the spelling, even if he say he is an American working in Iraq.
