Mark Packer
Complaint 180320 Details

I met "Mark Packer" online on Zoosk dating site. He was very good looking and charming. He sent many emails, mostly in the middle of the night and said all the right things. He claimed to be born in Madrid and his mother passed away when he was 3, he then moved to America where he was fostered by a couple that he said he loved, he completed his college years studying Civil Engineering in America. He said his foster parents have both died so he moved to Melbourne where he claimed his wife sadly also passed away "a year and some months ago". He never answered questions that would give away his location, ie: what hotel are you staying in, and after 7 days of correspondence, Yahoo Messaging and talking on the phone he asked me for $2,500 to gain a work permit on a new contract he had won to build roads in West Africa. The number he called me on was area code Nigeria. The $20 I spent on him was to buy him a Telstra prepaid voucher for his phone, I'm annoyed I even gave him that! He was annoyed when I talked to him and told him how much credit I had purchased for him, he was cross, saying it may not be enough! He always claimed to be coming back to Perth "in 3 more days" and can't wait to have me in his arms.... Beware ladies, he's not worth the trouble!
