Joseph friend requested me on Facebook, portraying himself as a sergeant in the Army stationed in Kabul Afghanistan, He said he was from Indianapolis, Indiana and stationed out of Camp Atterbury. We got to know each other and he said he would be retiring soon, also said he was widowed and looking for someone to spend the rest of his life with. He has a 12 year old daughter that was living with his mother in Nigeria, he was an only child, his dad (deceased) married a Malaysian women (who is his mom) and she in turn married a man from Nigeria and when he was deployed he had no relatives to take care of his daughter except his mother. Anyway he needed money to fly them back to the states and he said he couldn’t access his accounts. Then he ended up in the UK because his dad left him a 5.8 million dollar inheritance and had been working on that for 2 years. he needed to pay the taxes on that and was there for quite a while but needed money to pay for the hotel bills and then he was coming home to me. Said we would get married and so on. I was dumb enough to trust him as he had pictures of himself in the service etc… He was suppose to be on his way home July 11, 2016 but said he was still in the UK cause he had to clear up some more hotel bills and wanted more money. at this point I had sent enough and had no more to send him. I would send money via Western Union or MoneyGram to his friends in Nigeria–James Dada, Femi Abolaji, Elizabeth Adeniran, Adela Sola and his alledged mother Sarah Araromi.
