Andrew Wood
Complaint 219674 Details

I met this man on a dating site and over the course of a few weeks he began to build what was portrayed to me as a long loving and lasting relationship. Then he had a tragedy. He said that he had come from Greece and had only been in the country for 6 months. He had neighbors that he called the Kents a daughter in England going to college to be a zoologists, Emily Wood. His wife passed away a few years ago from cancer. He had freinds, Morgan, James and Sara and others.The Kent's had a 12 year old son that he would play video games with, whom he was really attached to. Andrew spoke as though he was fathering him. Andrew only after a few days announced his love for me and abouot a week after asked me to marry him. He took an interest in my 4 year old grandaughter, that I have temporary custody of and am awaiting the final steps in court to ge permanant custody and currnetly I have applied to gain custody of her brother, a year and a half. Andrew promised that he would be here to attend court at the end of March. He said that he wanted to be as a father to the kids and he wanted all of us to be a family. Andrew claimed that he left Greece because his father had passed away and he no longer could handle being there. He said that they had a family antique store that he had moved to Springfield Oregon and had rented a space, hired a store manager and was setting up things. Andrew claimed in the begining that he was also an interrior designer and had completed college in that field. Andrew said after a few more weeks that he wanted to come here, just that he was waiting for his shippment of antiques to come in,so that he could get his store all set up. upon much waiting he had said that his shipment had finally arrived but that the bottom had just fallen out of his world as the cost was over nine thousand dollars and all he had was a couple of thousand that he could pull off of his credit card. He began to beg and plead with me to get the money. Andrew was very adament that I had the ability to get the money from somewhere. Andrew stressed often how honesty was important to him. After him driving me insane, inspite of my bad credit rating I trudged off to the bank to get a loan of 5,000 dollars as he said that is all he needed from me and that he had an extension from customs for a week and that he would figure out a way to get the rest of the money. He said that he would sell something from his cargo to pay me back as soon as he got his goods free from customs. I first sent him $2,500 dollars and it cost $106.00 to send from here. I had done some research before hand and made him give me some information. He sent me a fake certificate for his so called store. And I looked up his house on VPike and got him describe the outside and he described it well.Andrew made me feel guilty through the whole process and remarked thqt he was angry. Also he used tactics like flipping out because I didn't trust him and how I was to trust my husband. He kept pushing me to send the money quickly as time was running out for him. Something didn't feel right, but I did as he asked. I was so confused and had a rush of mixed up emotions that I didn't know if I was coming or going. I sent it, in hopes that he was telling the truth and maybe I was just paranoid like he was saying. Besides I just wanted to make him shut up! I wanted the old Andrew back and I thought this would be the end of it. The next date was approaching and he painted a picture that he was sick with worry and had to go to the Dr and get something for migranes and he had hardly anything to eat. As the week went on he applied more and more pressure, so I sent another $5000.00. I had to go to another bank and get another loan. This time I was asked to send it through Western Union. They called me and asked me questions and said that they were sending the money back to me as they were sure I was a victim of fraud. I paid $2,500.00 back on my loan and the other I was going to put on my car that is in bad need of repair and buy furniture for my grandson so I have a better chance to gain custody of him. I had written him off, but he still had a hold because he had talked his way back into my heart and he began harrassing me for the money. He wanted the full 5,000 dollars in spite of me telling him that I gave them back half on the loan. I went and asked fo rthe money back, but the bank refused to give it back. Andrew han wanted what ever I had. He didnt care that I had no groceries for myself and my grand daughter and my sickly daughter, all he wanted was the money. I was very sick too, he didn't care, he said, "so" get going. I did it, I think just to get rid of his meaness, I was crying all the time, my job was in jeopordy, I was a real mess. I just wanted it to stop. I came from a very abusive back ground and can't take a lot to begin with. I figured that he would be back to the old Andrew. Instead he ignored me and set, his so called agent up to break the news to me that he had been hit by a car and hurt his head. Since then I have plazyed along. I have been given fake numbers, but have about 5 to six e-mail addresses. I have traced 2 to Florida and the ones for Andrew are in Oregon. Andrew called me a few times to console me from my crying and on the first call, his accent was a very strong Jamican accent. When I confronted him, he ws very cruel and made fun of me. I have been emotionally mutilated. I had trust issues before, but now, I dont think I will ever be able to trust another human being again.I am no longer interested in having a man in my life. I have to take from my already tight budget to pay those loans back and I have no money for my car or furniture for my grandson. I can barely handle supplying for my household as it is. Hopefully I can save my job. All because of greed. Heartless greed. Andrew has left my life in a million broken peices. I am still luring the men in with the hopes of more money, this time they want $3,200.00. Andrew refuses to talk to me, says that the Dr wont allow him to chat til he is fully better. Huh! right! However; I am conversing with James at the present time.
