Victim conned out of $55k in romance scam speaks out

but "she" claimed to him they were actually living abroad in Germany, caring for their ailing grandmother.

As the online relationship became deeper, the person promised love, marriage and a huge amount of money from the inheritance of their late father, which was allegedly tied up in a legal battle with other family members. "I thought it would not happen to me but this person was so detailed about everything to say for months and months."

"I guess I was naive, I never thought anybody would use that for their ill-gotten gains. But I guess they do."They also threatened Davis that he would not receive his share of "her" "inheritance" if he did not pay a few hundred dollars more, over and over. Davis realized he had been taken the day the person said they were returning to the U.S., and would fly into Newark, New Jersey. So, he went to the airport to pick her up, waiting and waiting outside the gate as the particular flight unboarded, but of course no one looking like the person on the POF profile came out.

Davis has also found the same profile pictures used on the POF account that scammed him on numerous other accounts, and shared seven of them with FOX Business.
