We met on Christian Mingle he contacted me fist, after sever emails on their website he asked for my personal email address and then eventually my phone number. He said he had lost his wife to cancer 6 years earlier and he had a daughter Emily in college. And also a mother in law Katie who was also close to him and also always very sick and in the hospital. He said he was a petroleum Engineer and at the time of our meeting he was working on a huge contract for Chevron and was replacing several pumps that went down on a rig but was short on the funds need that chevron required all of their independent contractors to have, stupid me I believed him... The requested money amounts started out small then always grew in size. I wasn't as smart as some of the other he probably got to. I had just lost my husband and I had never dealt with on line dating and was very naive to all of this. I now know that I am not the only one and that the pictures he uses are not of him and even though he claims to be of Italian decent that probably isn't true, he does not know Italian at all. Please please watch out for any man with this name, this email or this story its all a lie!!!! He will talk about God but has no belief in him what so ever, he does not care who he hurts, only cares about how much he can get out of you.
