Internet Love Scam
He add me up on Instagram and called himself Calvin who works as us classified military marine engineer. Pours loving words everyday without fail till I fall for it. Never video call before but he did called me after I said that our relationship going nowhere. It's been going on for months and he even mentioned that he wants to marry ME coz I was sent by God. Then on the 22nd Jan, he told me that he was going offshore and will be sending me gifts with 30k in it. It was SURREAL. On the day that I was suppose to receive the gift, I received a WhatsApp message stating that I need to pay sgd3500 for the overweight of a 35kg parcel. I became suspicious. Then I told Calvin. And he said he doesn't know about it and asked me to make the payment first. And I can take back my money when I received the parcel. I was being reluctant coz the bank details are all personal. My heart urged me to look up in the internet and I found the same WhatsApp number ( +65 8426 939?] with the almost similar story like mine. Thank God that my heart says don't go any further.  Lesson learnt. Never fall for someone who claims that he FALLs for you in an INSTANT and never even once make a video CALL.. He should be caught and PAY the price for cheating vulnerable WOMEN's money.
