Welcome to the shark pit of online dating. Here is the golden rule - If shortly, very shortly (1) You are told you are their only love, & they want to visit/marry you, and then (2) You are asked to wire money to them, for ANY reason - It's a scam. It is usually (a)car broke down, (b)robbed at their hotel (c)extra charges at airport (d)Medical emergency (e)Anything else you can think of. Want to do a little detective work? What hotel are they staying at in England? Call the hotel, & beware if you are given a +44 70 series phone number to call. It is an international forwarding number, & NOT in the UK. It can be anywhere in the world, Nigeria for example. Due Diligence.
I met this person at match.com and he gave me this number as his cell phone number. I did a research and this number is showing that its a landline number. He said he lives in San Jose and he is in England on a business trip for a month.. Could this be a scam?
