Dr. Frank Williams who was stationed overseas for our government. He was really wanting to return home to be with his 9 year old daughter and be with me but the United States Government told him if he paid for his airfare and exiting his contract early fee, they would arrange for this to happen. Well he would send me pictures of himself and I was just like OMG he is so handsome, I just want to kiss him forever. I didn't even think - this is a fake picture of him?? So we got closer and closer and I was falling for him. With all the attention he was giving me and his romantic thoughts about Us being in LOVE. Things started getting weird cause he wanted me to download the WhatsApp, so we could chat online in I guess real time?? Then he asked what me email address was because when he was feeling lonely, he could send me long romantic emails. He then asked me if I would pay these fee's to get him back the to the United States, he said he had the money in his US Federal Government Bank Account but they wouldn't release his money without getting all the government Red Tape taken care of. He told me they said it could be up to 6 months before he would get his money. I was very leary of all this and I guess he sensed this, so he forwarded me 2 different emails with the letters he received. The first was the fee's needed to release him early from his contract. The second one was from the US Federal Government Bank, letting him know what his balance was and that it would take time to get him any money. So I didn't even hesitate to get him the money for the fees to return home. I asked him how was I get the money to him if he didn't have any bank account where he was living overseas, he told me to deposit the money into a machine that would turn it into Bitcoin which is linked to him or this other guy named Felix who is his government liason. I never even spoke to this Dr. Frank Williams but I did have a lot of contact with this man "Felix". I could tell by his accent he was from Nigeria. Since I had know idea what bitcoin was or where to exchange my cash into a bitcoin account, Felix instructed me to have my bank wire transfer the money to an account he had opened for Dr Williams. When I went to my bank to request them to handle this wire transfer with all the paperwork I was given by Felix, the banker informed me that this was a fraudulant scam and he refused to complete the wire transfer. I then went outside and called Felix who didn't understand what my bank was saying. Felix then asked me to put this banker on the phone with him and I could hear Felix losing it and he then hung up on the banker. Even after all of this, I was still trying to figure out what and how I could get the money too Frank. I took my cash $5000 and called Felix back which he then told me where the closest Bitcoin machine was located (it was in Manassas, Va). I was instructed to purchase bitcoins using this weird account number. Being that I never even knew what Bitcoin was, I just couldn't get the machine to take my money. Felix was even on the phone with me telling me what to due but I couldn't get it to work. Finally after trying for 30 minutes, Felix told me to just purchase $5000 in gift cards and send him pictures front and back of these cards along with the receipt for each cards activation code. Frank kept on telling me that Felix would send me all his flight info and that he just couldn't wait to feel me and kiss my beautiful lips (I just melted into his words). I did receive his flight info and I was only thinking about spending the rest of my life married to Frank. Well one thing after another was going wrong and Frank and I were getting impatient. Then Frank sent me a picture of him at the airport, he was finally coming home. I tried to figure out based on this picture where the hell he was but I couldn't. I didn't hear from him for several days when he sent me a message in WhatsApp stating that there was legal issues causing him not to be able to continue his trip home. He just was confused as I was, he said he spoke to Felix and he was going to get this matter fixed. Frank then asked me to send him money cause he was in a foreign country with no way to get food or a place to sleep. He then said to stop using WhatsApp and to now use SnapChatApp because it was free?? I didn't understand this cause I didn't have to pay for either of these app's. Time just kept on moving month by month with no end in site for Franks return home. Frank kept asking me for money, giving me woe is me [censored] and well I fell for it to a total tune of about $12,000 in gift cards I sent photos of to either Frank or Felix. Felix then said that the government where Frank was needed to have someone in the United States withdraw all of Franks money from the US Federal Credit Union. In order for this be legally done, Frank and I had to get married. At first I was like "hell yeah" but my gut wasn't feeling right. So I started doing some investigating. Since the emails I received from Frank or Felix really didn't have stuff like phone numbers of the bank or the government contractors that were requesting all the fees so Frank could come home. I googled the US Federal Credit Union and called them about Franks account with them, I was told they can't give me any info because I was not a relative of Franks. I explained what was going on and that I wasn't asking for money or any personal info on Frank, that I just needed to know if all this was fact's. This man I spoke with asked me to forward a copy of the email I got from Frank or Felix, I did but just to try something out. I included both Frank and Felix in on this my sending this email to a real person at Frank's supposed bank. Frank pretty much tried to act cool about it but Felix got very upset and asked me what I think I was doing. I told Felix I was just trying to help Frank out so we could be together. Things just seemed like at every turn I was being asked for more and more money to get things legally documented (A marriage license) Then all of a sudden Felix sent me a document that was notarized and it said Frank and I were married. All of a sudden I was getting all these collections call saying I'm 90 days past due on 4 credit cards and Also a personal loan I never asked for. To top it off my bank of 20 years froze all my assets and closed my account, they told me it was because I had 3 wire transfers to my account from fraudulent companies. I had to open a new account and within 3-5 days I was again told my assets were frozen and the account was closed. So for 90 days I had no way to pay any of my bills. This was the last straw, I did a facial recognition on Franks pictures and guess what --- it was the same exact pictures but a different name and location. I was so ashamed I deleted everything I had on my computer and iPhone that had anything to remind me of WHAT A TOTAL FOOL I WAS.

urbanshelfcivil.com. He told me to make the request, a small chat box would open on the bottom right and to keep him in the loop for his help. I made his request for time off. The whole experience was odd! I screen printed the whole dialog/interaction. They asked me my name. I gave first name only. I told them they didn't need my last name, as Carl knows who I am. They said they had to create a ticket, approval would be made in 24 hours and I would be notified by email. I gave them an old email address. After 24 hours I received an email stating his ticket for time off was approved. Per company policy, I was to pay for someone to cover his hours...$500.
I told him and them they were scammers!
