Damian Garrett
Complaint 152410 Details

Damian and I met through Match.com...in the first part of March 2012. He told me he was Self Employed and bought and sold crude oil.
Very shortly he informed me he was leaving on a business trip to Kaula Lumpur, Mayalasia, would be gone for 2 weeks. When he didn't return I ask why he was delayed, he said he was still in negotiation with Cyprus..
The next I heard from him he was very ill. Having to go to the Doctor for tests and medicine.. He had no insurance to cover him over there. He ask me to send him $800.00 and he would pay it back as soon as he was back in the United States. I sent the money plus $62.00 for Western Union fees.
He sent me a copy of his flight itinerary to return on March 24, 2012.
He then was in an auto accident and was in the hospital with chest and head concussion, he as in a cab, so I assumed that the cab company took care of that bill.
Next, he said because he was there longer he had no money to pay his hotel bill or money to eat on. He ask me to send $1500.00which I did under protest, but by this time he had sent me such sweet and endearing letter, and told me he had fallen in love with me before he had ever left for Malaysia. I have all the letter of our communications...he was so adoring to this 76 year old lady, who had lost her husband suddenly after a 44 year marriage, I thought him to be one in a million as my husband had been. I can say I was duped big.
Everyone told me it was a scam, but I couldn't bring myself to think that.
He finally, after being arrested for trying to ship 4 more barrels of crude oil than his contract called for, he went to jail and ask me for $3600.00 for bail.
He said he had hocked his Rolex watch to pay his hotel and food bill, then his laptop.
Finally the crude was shipped and he didn't have the money to pay for customs and Cyprus would not pay him until the Customs Tariff was payed. So I had my bank sent $4500.00 to a bank in the U.K.
