A knife on the head of the ancient characters, for a moment of greedy beauty and "hurt the bones" of many people, this time, an Australian dating website taught them a lesson.
Patricia Meister is a woman from Kunzhou, she is lovely and kind in life, and helpful, she is faithful to life, every moment to the world is a naive smile. Many friends have advised her to guard against sinners, or one day they will be targeted by swindlers, while Patricia believes that as long as she remains optimistic, the world is bound to be gentle with itself.
In such a way of life, she spent 30 years safely and steadily, until she sent such a good friend invitation on her Facebook page.
The invitation was sent to a 35-year-old man whose name was Carlos, an Italian businessman. Patricia opened his photo album and was instantly attracted to the stranger in front of her. The photo of Carlos handsome, demeanor, a suit to make him look particularly temperament. Out of love and curiosity, Patricia passed Carlos's friend request.
The day after the relationship, Carlos sent Patricia his first greeting. The two men gradually began to talk, Carlos praised Patricia is beautiful, is his ideal lover look. After about two months of conversation, Carlos and Patricia began to fall in love with each other online.
Their relationship has been sweet, the temperature of love has been rising for a while, and only one thing, Carlos began to borrow money from Patricia.
Carlos often said that he had encountered some problems in his business, in urgent need of funds to flow around, Patricia did not think much about it, immediately lent his money to Carlos. Every time Carlos says, as long as you get the money to turn your business around, you come to Australia to see Patricia..
As a result, Carlos has borrowed more and more money from Patricia, and the rhythm seems to be increasing. By the time they met in 2015, Carlos had borrowed 20, 000 Australian dollars, or one hundred thousand yuan, from Patricia by October 2017.
Patricia still felt "peace in the world" at first, but her friends agreed that she had been deceived! So, her friends began to help her investigate the information of the man named Carlos, only to find that the man is not in Italy at all, his real location is Nigeria!
Patricia immediately came online to confront Carlos, asking him why he appeared in Nigeria, and Carlos faced the rounds of questioning, gradually hesitating and not even responding. Patricia realized that she had been completely deceived. When she angrily accused Carlos of being a liar, Carlos replied to Patricia's last message: "come get me, honey." Since then, Carlos has disappeared in Patricia's world with a $20, 000 debit note.
In an interview, Patricia told reporters: "I know I'll never get my money back, but all you can do is be careful. There are a lot of lonely people in the world, and the dating website is full of liars. "
Is this bad luck for Patricia? Did her innocence hurt her?
The Australian authorities believe, of course, not!
In 2017, more than 20 million yuan was involved in romantic scams reported through Scam Watch, the Australian Competition and Consumer Council's (ACCC) website.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg, according to Australian dating expert Ward (Louanne Ward).
Over the course of 20 years in the industry, Ward has also encountered these romantic scams and met many men and women who have been taken away with thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars. Experts say the "romantic" liars have caused billions of dollars in losses around the world, and victims are often ashamed and embarrassed not to reveal the matter to the outside world.
These cheaters are very good at choosing the target of the fraud. They choose the unsuspecting lonely, especially the women!
You usually get applications to add friends or messages, and a lot of self-conscious people, as well as wise people, look at their profile, which is so much better that it's not true at all. Men are generally dressed as doctors, surgeons, senior white-collar workers, chief executives, pilots, honorary soldiers and other military workers. Women often pretend to be teachers, nurses, older students with children, or work as caregivers.
In terms of appearance, neither man nor woman is such a fair-looking person. Some women may be super-good-looking but usually more like a girl next door, healthy and beautiful. Men are generally handsome, healthy, educated and masculine.
Once a request is passed, the swindlers usually send you a message within one to five hours. At first, thank you and praise or ask one or two questions.
The above-mentioned man, David, said he worked overseas and got a new contract and decided to return to work in Australia. After talking to his "goal" for some time, he revealed to him that he had no money to return to Australia and hoped that she could help him-transfer the money to his lawyer's account. Then, the cheater named David was reported by ACCC.
These days, these "romantic" scams have become more and more frequent in Australia, and their fraud accounts include a wide variety of copycat numbers, including a large number of "Chinese"! Once you encounter a liar who has such a trick, you must report to the ACCC in time, and don't be fooled by money for a while.
There are so many facts that it can be proved that it takes a lot of money to have sex.
