He Stole Her Heart as Well as Her Money
Emma James, a resident of Massachusetts, was scrolling through her Facebook profile when she received a notification Jacob wanted to be her friend. She was not searching for a romantic partner, but she was very friendly and wanted to make new friends. Emma accepted the friend request and added Jacob as a friend.
Jacob sent her a message and introduced himself, so in return, Emma introduced herself too. Soon the two became friends. Jacob told her the tragic story of him losing his wife in a car accident to gain her sympathy. And he succeeded! Emma started giving him a lot more time than usual and used to ask him about his day, and he told her every single detail of the day. She used to do that too.
Love Hurts- But This Time it Made Her Go Broke Too!
Jacob told Emma he was in love with her and wanted to be in a relationship with her. Emma liked Jacob a lot, and she didn’t want to hurt him after he had gone through so much. So Emma said yes! Jacob was a Nigerian resident. He promised to see her next month, but he had some problems with his Visa and airline tickets. Emma said that she would help him with everything. So, she bought air tickets for him and sent him the money that he needed for the paperwork and travel.
Emma did everything for Jacob, but after leaving Nigeria, he said that he was caught by the police, and they demanded a lot of money to set him free. Emma got a 3000$ loan against her family home and sent all the money to Jacob.
After one week, when Emma tried to contact him, there was no trace of him. He had ghosted her, and Emma was left devastated now, without any money and even her home.
