I met a man on be2.com, seemed to be a really great match with so much in common. He was a hungarian widow with 16yr old daughter with his own importation business. Within days we had deactivated our accounts (I could not cancel mine and he knew how so he suggested I give him my password so he could delete it for me). We were talking every night on msn for 3-4hrs at time, I live in NZ and he lived in the states. He was a little over the top european confessing feelings of love and claimed to be a good christian man. I even bought a webcam upon his insistance to make sure i was real. Once on webcam and after talking with his 16yr daughter on webcam I felt he was for real.
Then he had to travel for business to Benin in Nigeria, where his laptop, cell phones and PS3 were all stolen at the airport. I found that a bit hard to believe as who puts cell phone in laptop bag as well as the teenagers cell but I was trying not to be a complete cow. When he asked if I could buy him a web cam and send it, i was like sure $29.95 what harm could that be?? But then he asked if I wouldn't mind picking him and his daughter up a blackberry each, he'd give me cash when he came in 3 weeks.... that ticked me off but I was trying to be nice (I was new to being nice). So I bought the electronic goods and couriered them via DHL. A week later he finally picks them up and the next day he tells me his daughter had been kidnapped. They wanted $100k USD, he only had $90k - how much could I come up with. Considering we had been discussing the possibility of buying a house he knew I had $5k on hand. However I ofter to ask my brother to help since he was on an oil rig on the coast of West Africa and there is nothing more he'd like than to deal to some kidnappers being former navy seal. The money suddenly dropped down to $2500usd and not to bother my brother just yet. Unfortunately it was a Friday night and online Western Union in NZ doesn't allow money transfers to Nigeria. By the next morning I was sick with the thought this might be real but my gut said "scam". I told friends and family and they intervened. Days later, a hundred unanswered phone calls later I had come to terms that it was probably a scam.
Then I got an email to an account I had never used for be2.com or for communications with this man. It told me my be2.com account was not cancelled and to cancel I needed to provide them with the first 12 digits of my credit card. Strange... then I remembered on the payment screen you can see the last 4 digits of my number and this man had my account password!! What a wally! When I said I had to call my bank to verify if this was safe to give out since I had been a victim of scamming from one of their users I got an immediate email back telling me Princehandsome was innocent, had proven his innocence with copies of his passport and drivers license and had been cleared of all investigations. This email was in broken english with commas instead of full stops. It was written in his broken english so I suspect their either he is posing as be2.com or he actually works for them. There is a youtube clip "meet the be2.com team" and I swear a man who looks just like Jozsi is in their team. Do they sit there all day with our personal details not only scamming our membership fees but also doing scams on their members????
DO NOT USE THIS SITE, DO NOT TRUST JOZSI MARTIN.
