Posted on behalf of the victim.

He made out the fees where like immigration lawyer fees. I saw the spelling errors and assumed it was a junior clerck things...

I wasn't his fiance, he said he needed to say that to get it over the line.
He said he was due for retirement next year and had chosen xxx (victim's city)
He also said he had saved up enough leave over 20 years to live with without pay for a couple of years.

He said he would be with me in a few days so thats when he texted me the private bank details. Those details were a fake bank account which showed a balance of $200KUSD. He asked me to transfer that into my bank account, I said no way there are money laundering conditions here ... and he said a lower amount of $70K, which I did try and we got the COT code... which I wrote to the fake operations guy and he asked for $2K to get a withdrawal.

I was in huge cognitive dissonance here...but still hooked in. I started to google domain names and everything and my doubt grew and I said I couldn't find the money my trust was thrown. Because he had an eye on extracting confidential business information he decided not to push to hard and said its okay. He said it was impossible for him to get money from America because he didn't have online banking. I now know that is BS from friends who lived in NY.

I didn't tell people it was all online because they would have begged me to stop and I still believed that I could exercise extraordinary trust.

I told him early on that (...) sometimes I could work and sometimes couldn't work and this affected my money. When we last spoke I said it was full blown again and that I would have any money and that I couldn't work... (...) He has checked on my incoming funds and knew I would have money coming in over the next 4 weeks.
(...)
After he realised that he exhausted means to get money from me he said imagine if he told the army I had been harassing him with unwanted sexually explicit videos. (...) He then said he would share it on Facebook and I said my friends loved me and would support me and he said he would give it to my daughter. I hung up on him, on the beginning of the phone conversation I let him know this would be the last conversation. He texted via WhatsApp a still shot of my Facebook friends list juxtaposed against a video of mine to scare me.

He was really keen to get a photo of my mother and he also got my birthdate and address.

He also asked what type of iPhone I was using so I know I need to have it checked.

He upped the game as he accumulated more money from me 1.000 USA in total, almost 100 USD in iTunes cards and the rest on the leave fee.

Since I deleted WhatsApp all is silent. He said I know why you are telling me this because you have deleted Facebook it is because you don't want me anymore.. I said thats right you have money problems and you won't admit it. A few days before I asked if he was playing me and he said 'no'. I showed the hypnotherapist photos and he said people misappropriated his images and that he would video call me to confirm. He never did until I had stopped taking his calls. He tried one then to scare me and get me to reengage... "he said this is what you wanted, pick up".
