He was just a scammer, Sarah. The red flags added up to checking more out and putting the pieces together. I wouldn't spend a dime on a guy from a dating site to check his backgound. But, at first, I found him so kind and interesting. I gave him my email just like that. That was dumb. Thanks for the detail you wrote. You, and everyone else, suspected he was off. I guilted myself into thinking maybe I was prejudiced because he was from another country so I needed to give him a achance. I got over that after everyone on Medium woke me up. I deleted my account on that website because it almost seemed like they were in on it. I wrote to them about what was happening, and they never responded.
