Okay, okay... money...But you may never see a cent of this money, and in the meantime, you are still compromising yourself by communicating with him. This man is NOT your friend. He is a scam artist, if he took money from you, while searching for other women on the web!
I lost $20,000 to one such character, never got a cent back, so I'm telling you that you may be better to accept your financial loss and cease ALL communication. These people can even become dangerous when the jig is up and they have to repay their financial coups.
I'm thinking your self-esteem, personal safety, and mental and emotional health may be worth more than whatever amount of money you lost to this user. I still strongly suggest ceasing all communication with him.
You COULD seek the advice of law authorities regarding the amount of money you lost to this man, but you should be prepared to see his horns come out if you do so.
Please just take care of yourself. Forget this man, please.
Love
Patty
