We met on EHarmony, I'd never used a dating site before - he's my first. He said he lived in Washington DC, then later he actually lives in CT but was here on work. He is a Civil Engineer. We did not meet because he had to work on a job in Florida, then his mother (she's British, he's still holding a passport for Norway) fell very ill so he had to leave and go to her side. His father died in Norway when he was 16 in an accident, so it's just he and his mother. He was in London for 6 days. From there is where I received two pictures and a phone number to call him. I checked the country code and it was correct. He then had to go to work in Accra Ghana for 3 weeks. As soon as he arrived, his luggage was lost and he needed a laptop. Yes, I am stupid, I sent him a laptop and I am out $1,300.00. He said he couldn't do his work and that his laptop and luggage has still not arrived.

Then he started talking about investing some money in houses, he did not ask me for any but he was hinting. Then he said he wanted to come and stay with me for up to 10 days, I said that's fine, but you'll have to get a hotel because you can't stay with me. He fell offline that night, the next day he said he was running out of money and could he have $500 to $600. I told him that I did not have it. Now the phone calls are once a day and I haven't taken any of them. However, I'm interested now to see what he says so I did call him back this morning.

Bottom line is that I don't even think the pictures are of him. His english is not that great either and neither are his writing skills.

I checked in google to see if I could find anything on his email address - nothing. I then sent an email to EHarmony to remove him.
