You sef know say naija nor dey carry last... lolz
A couple in the United Kingdom parted ways when the husband
named Paul fell in love innocently with a Nigerian scammer posing as a
woman online.
An English married couple, Rebecca Lewis and her husband simply
identified as Paul Rusher were separated for a period of one year after
her husband came in contact with a very beautiful California lady,
Kristen White on Facebook who claimed she was the daughter of a United
States billionaire.
It was unknown to Paul, a faceless sharp guy Nigerian scammer was behind the
plot. After several months of chatting, Paul fell in love with the lady
and was planning to settle down with her in marriage. (lolz)
When Rebecca Lewis found out her fiance planned to leave her for a
pretty blonde he had met online, her world fell apart. Messages on his
laptop showed he had been flirting for months with the woman he had
“met” weeks after proposing to her.
The mystery woman had contacted Paul Rusher on social networking
sites at least 10 times a day for months, after sending a Facebook
friend request out of the blue.
Rebecca, 30, read the messages between them and saw that, despite
never having met her, sales assistant Paul, 29, had declared his love to
Kristen and told her he planned a future with her. When Rebecca
confronted her fiance, he told her she was dumped and she packed her
bags and left the home they shared.
But instead of moving on, devastated Rebecca became suspicious of
Paul’s new romance and turned detective. While she had her 'Sherlock holmes hat' she discovered that he had been the
victim of a romance scam, where fraudsters use pictures of Russian
models to trick unsuspecting men into parting with thousands of pounds.
(The face used by the con man)
Instead of letting her hubby aka Mr lover, Paul fall foul of the con, Rebecca
intervened and stopped him giving £2,000 to Kristen, the money for flights so she could to join him in the UK.
She did a strong research on Kristen White and realized she was
using the picture of a Russian model. The name was guilty of major scams
online. The messages were brought before Paul as an evidence that he was
being scammed. At first he didn't believe as he tried obtaining a loan
from the bank to send to Kristen.
He later faced reality and accepted Kristen White didn't exist.
Rebecca was heartbroken by her husband's actions. Rebecca and Paul,
who split in January 2013, kept in touch and a few months later, he
admitted he still had feelings for her. He spent a year trying to win
her back and they reunited in May 2014 after Rebecca decided to give him
another chance.
So funny. Major catfishing.
