Love scam

A Ben Henry got a hold of me through a site called tagged. He said he lived in Florida but was in Nigeria working for the government at a orphanage.

We talked for 2 months and he sent flowers and candy. He would tell me he loves me and wants to marry me. Then a month ago he said he needed $500 to get his air plane ticket so I sent it to him. He promise to pay back and I believed him.

Then next story was 2 weeks after when he never showed up was he was in the hospital because of a car accident and again asked for money but this time I did not do it. I won't send any more money.
