My name is Angie...I met Michael E Harrison on Match.com He was so nice a very sweet man...in fact I quickly nicknamed him sweet man. Very dependable with his emails every morning every evening and before bed like clockwork. I was unhappy with just emails so I pushed him to start communicating by phone. We could barely talk the connection was horrible. I later discovered he was using a magic jack phone type system or app on his cell phone. NO matter how hard I pushed for him to call me on a regular cell phone with a number that connected him to the phone he wouldn't ... he then went to another phone number it too was a magic jack number. He said he was German and he did have an accent but it was always hard to determine what its origin was. He presented himself as a very intelligent and reserved successful business man. A civil engineer contractor who had worked all over the world. He said his wife's name was Jennifer and that she passed away 5 years ago. He also had a 12 year old son named Jack. He sent me several pictures of himself and Jack. I was falling for this man big time...I am embarrassed to say but I was. I started to ask to meet in person and he kept putting me off saying our time would come and that he couldn't wait to meet me as well. Then all the sudden he got this big contract to build a gas station in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 1,600,000 dollar of which he showed me the contract via email. He said he was flying to Malaysia for 2 weeks to get his project started then he was flying back to Ca where I live to meet me for the first time. His plan was to stay for 3 days then go back to Malaysia to complete his project then return home to his son Jack and me so we could start a real relationship. Well then on day 2 of his new project the Malaysian Government came in and shut him down because of he needed to prepay his taxes which total 80,000.00...after he pleaded and begged with his bank and the tax collector he says he got them to agree for 40,000.00and the other 40,000,00 when the project was completed. So then he drops the bomb on me and asked me for 20,000.00 to help him out he pleaded and begged and connived but my answer was no. The story goes on from here but no need to go on I think everyone gets the picture. This is a very shrewd bad man. I hope this reaches any and everyone that might be caught up in his web. Please don't give him a dime drop him quick because he does not love you he is twisted and wants your MONEY! The email he used for me is [email protected]

  • Wow, this same man contacted me in September 2013 and gave me the exact same story, except he said he had a daughter named Mary instead of a son. He used a different last name and he was on match.com under michaelrobert90 at aol. He was very good at convincing me that he was interested in meeting me, and we talked on the phone for 3 weeks before he brought out his request for money to pay the supposed taxes. His phone connection wasn't bad so maybe he is now using a different phone. I didn't fall for it and sent him a final e-mail that let him know I was on to him. This guy is smooth and seemed intelligent, as he had an answer for all the questions I asked him and they all seemed believable, until he set up his "tax" story. It's really too bad because he had me convinced that he was the perfect man for me, but I guess when you are lying you can mold your personality to the person who you are trying to "impress" or in this case, scam. Watch out for this guy.
