I am
glad to hear from you and i really appreciate you telling me
some more about you and i will be more than glad to tell you
a lot more about myself as well and will love to see with
how things work with us. I am open and
honest and loving. I am genuine and honest, independent and
intelligent, spiritual without being fanatical, confident
without being arrogant and sensitive while remaining a true
man's man. I consider myself a thoughtful man with
integrity. I take good care of my appearance and health and
stay active, workout every week, love the outdoors, water
and fresh air. I love to take a walk and jog. My passion is
golf and I also play volleyball (beach), pool. I can be
romantic, spontaneous, silly, funny and serious. I'm
laid back and mellow. I'm passionate and playful. I keep
abreast of current events. I don't hold multiple degrees
but I am successful in what I do and very comfortable with
my place in life. My parent are originally
from Italy and i have been living here for about 9 years
now.I have live and had my university education in England.I
was married for 17 years and have a daughter who is 20 years
looking forward to be 21 soon.I have been a widower for
about 3 years now and it was due to the fact that i lost my
woman in a car accident which has made me never to have had
any relationship ever since then cause i was trying to get
well out of that and i am glad i am more ready and willing
to have some one now and move on with my life so i am really
hoping to find some one that is ready and willing to love me
forever and i will sure love her for the rest of our life
together and it will be an unconditional one.
Telling about the kind of person am looking for,well i
think when you look at my profile you can see from there
what am looking for in a woman and the kind am looking for
but to tell more of it i think i can say it here.I want some
one real and ready to take the love i will be offering and
will never complain of too much love like i will never
complain either cause i want the woman to love me much as
well and show me the love always which i will always do the
same to her.I want someone that will never be shy to show
affection at any time and will never be afraid of her man to
show her affection as much as well.Some one that will
welcome occasional gift like flowers and writing of letters
i think this are signs of been romantic and i like it cause
am a romantic man and i will want my woman to be romantic as
well.I want a honest woman and trust worthy one that will
never betray my trust in her and i will not either.I want a
woman who will be there always for her man and i will be
there always for my woman cause i believe relationship is
meant to help each other through any situation when ever and
wherever it is not only with money but mostly with the love
you give and care you show that special some one.I am
looking for someone for lingering conversations over long
dinners; for reclining with on quiet Sunday mornings filled
with the aroma of fresh coffee; for visiting favorite places
and exploring new ones; for someone to share in those
transcendent moments when the ordinariness of the day takes
on an extraordinary meaning. I am looking for the woman
whose warm and reassuring smile welcomes me at the dimming
of the day. It is said that every day is a new beginning but
I often do not know when a beginning began until sometime
after it has passed. It might have been the flash of a
smile, an exchange of knowing glances, the seemingly errant
touch, or a turn in a conversation. My
believe about relationship is so much that i cant explain
all at ones but i can just say a little bit in it.I believe
relationship between man and woman should not be a one that
the husband or the wife will be making order it must be one
that both of them will say there view on issue and they will
make up one conclusion and follow it.I believe that it is
not a great relation been abusive to one another or saying
dirty languages to one another it really made love to fade
and lower the rate of love between each other so they are
not a good thing to be involve in relationship.I believe
distance doesn't have any effect on relationship because
i think the most important is to get to know each other more
better and see if you both are meant for each other so if
you see you are a great match then there can always be a
date to set in meeting each other and spend some time with
each other then get to know each more better in
person,relocation is neither a issue as well cause me as a
man i am ready to relocate for my right woman if that is
necessary to do i mean if the woman did not have the
advantage of doing it. Things i do like to
do in my free time,I like to spend my time with my woman
most if i have any but for now that am all alone i do spend
my time watching Movie,Gardening,Walking,I like spending
my time with my daughter as well when she is with me.I like
to go shopping.I like listening to music and i have some
kind of my own that i love most to listen
to(Country,Blues,Jazz,R n b).I like to travel and know more
places also because my job needed it at times but not all
time. I hope i never scare you with any
of this and I hope i did not take much of your time reading
my message and am sorry if i do but i hope you have get to
know me more better with this so i would like to hear from
you what else you wish to know that have never mention and i
will like to know about you as well. I will
look forward to hearing from you soon and hope to get to
know one another much more better. Take
care. Chris.

After the victim realized is a scam:

I guess you have
blocked me on your phones right cause have been trying to
call and trying to get your money paid cause am back in my
home and dont want you to think am trying to run with your
money as you have been accusing me of
that. Chris.

He is still active on eHarmony:

Posted on the behalf of the victim.

He said the is a civil engineer and was awarded a job in UAE. The only document he sent me is a customs document, I assume fake. I checked online to see if he could fake that and I could not find anything, I was reluctant to give him money because the name on the account sounded Nigerian, but he assured me that manager of the hotel he stayed in is Nigerian and he is an honest person. Text messages confirm when he got the money for different reasons, Customs for his material, labor for his laborers, etc. I asked for the flight info back and that is when the story became a little bizarre. He was on a car accident and he survived and need it to pay the doctor. When I got that text message from the "Doctor" I became suspicious and I did not want to speak with him because he gave a phone number that was in Qatar. When I started to speak with Chris again, I told him I am not sure if his story is real. I asked for more proof, and I sent him money in Dubai with Western Union.

When his flight got rescheduled and he supposedly got stuck in Dubai, I refused to send him cash and he asked me to buy him the ticket to come back home. He chose the flight from Dubai to Doha and from Doha to xxx. He was no show for the first flight. After that he disappeared for a week, he would not answer my calls or emails. My best friend started calling him as well and he texted her back. That is when I knew for sure he is a scammer. I filed the complaint with FBI and I started doing a lot of research.
I checked him out quite a few times, because my gut told me something was wrong, but never thought to check the pictures. When I checked the pictures I found out about all the other aliases.
He contacted me on via text on June 1, and I did not answer. I blocked him immediately and then I received an email from him letting me know that he wants to pay me back and he is not a scammer. I replied telling him to send me a bank check or a certified check and I put a trace on my response to see if he reads it. He did read my email the next day. That was the last communication.
