I was a victim of 419 email

(Indianapolis, IN USA)

I met a guy I think his name was Paul Wood. Said he was from Georgia and lives in Carmel. Took arguments to get out his address. Went to the house a hispanic family lives there, not this guy. He said he sent me a birthday card, it's been 3 weeks nothing. He took me for money but mostly international phone calls which I need to pay back. He hurt me by messing with my heart. I learned my lesson, to where I can't trust. I need to check a person's background more. Right now I am getting ready to date someone. But this time I checked where he lived. Plus with this guy he said he was a civil engineer doing underground piping for oil. Stayed in Benin City, Nigeria. Said he got kidnapped and went to the embassy when he was freed. The only thing he doesn't know I emailed the embassy to see if this guy was ever there. Plus will be doing a follow up with whoever I can connect with his email address, mailing address and phone number. The phone number is still active but just constantly rings. They can eventually put a trace on it and find this scammer. I might get this person caught and have him pay for what he did. Before he does it to someone else. I LEARNED A BIG LESSON, ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND DON'T FEEL ASHAME ON BEING VERY NOSY. I deserve to be treated with respect and trust.
