Here is the e-mail where the scammer asked me to send them money in the Philippines for the only time:
Hi Sweetheart,
I'm happy and joyful that we met. I do appreciate your open, genuine, warm heart and sincere answers to my questions. We have come a long way and i can't wait to meet with you in person, I have so much going on over here with work and i have been so busy trying to resolve the situation, I'm so sorry not to have messaged you, I didn't want to make my problem yours and i know you have so much going on for you as well daily, Well i would truly love no more than to get to know you better as in person and i hope that happens soon because you do possess all of the qualities, morals,values and ethics that I’ve ever looked for in a man.Your outlook and your decision making skills are truly astounding to me which is why I'm so comfortable with and feel like i should let you know about my situation here, I'm a bit reluctant in sharing this but we have come to far for me to hold back anything from you, I can't even do that because i know how much you care about me, The thing is I'm not sure of when am going to leave here not that i don't want to but I'm having some serious business related issues to resolve, I really want to leave here as to come settle down as i believe it's high time i did that and also because of the current unrest in the Philippines caused by the unfavorable weather conditions and political factors.
Recently Philippines has been tagged as the smuggling capital of Asia and the Commissioner for Bureau of Customs and Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has intensified their efforts to counter the accusations and stabilize the sector.
They came up with a new Tax scheme to generate Revenue stabilize the sector. The new tax rate has affected the CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight), Duty charge etc, Its not strange for changes like this to happen in my line of work, all i have to do is to give out the goods to my customers with the new rate but i can't ship out the goods to them yet because of the additional cost, Everything seem to be under control until i took the money orders i have with me to the Metro bank and they told me the money orders are not Cashable here, They said if they were traveler checks they would cash them but this ones are valid but they are domestic payment and not international worthy to be cashed then offered me and option to deposit them and they could take about a month to clear which is bad news for me as i need to have this goods shipped as soon as possible to meet up the demand of my customers and also leave here.I have been to the embassy to see if i can get some help and they told me that there are no facilities for cashing checks at the Embassy or Consulates. I was advised to contact my relatives or friends to help me or get an investor, As you know my parents are late and my aunt as well and i don't have any relation that can raise the amount i need because I'm the one that practically take care of myself and support my cousins sometimes when they need support. So i'm stuck right now but i call my friend Veronica and she has promised to help me raise $1500 but am still short of $2789.00 lets say approximately $3000. i need that to quickly sort everything things out here so i jump on the next available plane so as to come cash this checks before things get out of hands.
I'm so unhappy right now as I'm stuck and i hate been in situation like this, I don't how to relate this to you but i sincerely need an assistance from you and i would appreciate your support. I want you to know that I'm not in anyway taking advantage of what we have, I just think its only right for me to share this with you as believe the essence of a relationship is to find love, companionship and to find a helper, a partner, a brother, father and a friend, now with all these roles comes trust, without which we have nothing, For me to open up to your about my difficulties is due to a level of trust i have in you already and i believe i can confide in you. I also believe that for any relationship to work, we must work together through anything we experience. Regardless , When one of us is lacking in one area, I believe the other one is there to assist the other or pick up the slack for a time. This doesn't mean we do it forever, but just while the other person needs help with money problems, stress, feeling, worries or even doubts. For us to work as well as our feelings we have for each other are we must compromise. I cherish everything we have shared so much and you know i value you so much, and i know you care about me as well so much and once i get there i know it will be so much easier for you to know how i feel about us…I have never done this before and I'm worried on how you will take this, I really wish i don't have to do this, but I need to sort this out and i promise to pay you back without delay,I pray you are have this funds available and able to lend me. If you have please kindly find a place in your heart to assist me as i know this is a short notice, but i promise I'll pay back once i arrive.
Sincerely,
Julianne
Of course I refused their request and then the last message I got from the scammer was this:
I really don't know how to address this issue at this point, I have
heard from you since and i don't Feel complete...But i would say this,if
you are not comfortable or you feel you don't trust me enough to
assist me in my times of need, then i beg you not to bother about it .
I took sometime time out to think deeply on what's been going on in my
life. It seems like due to the fact that i developed feelings you , i
have been so vulnerable to the point that i have let my guards down
totally . I am still trying to understand how i let it get to this
point. if i didn't need this assistance i won't even talk to you about
it, before i asked you to help me, you have been so sweet, you were so
nice to me and made me feel so special .I felt we had a connection
between us and since we were both aligned in thoughts and we both knew
exactly what we wanted in life . I thought it would be best to give it
a shot and see where it headed . So far so good,everything was going
fine till my troubles emerged. All of a sudden, the so called
connection which i thought we seems to be turning out to be just
another pipe dream . but since i asked for your sincere assistance for
days now you have ignored my message like we never exist.
After that message I never heard from the scammer again.
