a person calling herself as Sarah Scout
Complaint 36434 Details

met this woman on facebook,saying her name is Sarah Scout,email address;[email protected],in approximately september some time,saying she loved my profile and would i like to get to know her more,and if so to send her an email,which i did,about a week later,after about 3 email exchanges,she said her mobile phone was faulty and her internet bill needed to be paid so we could continue emailing each other and for the new mobile to have the feature of video calling,i sent her $200 aust' dolla' and she said she got a new mobile phone but not enough money to have the video call.Then about 3 weeks later after exchanging about 12 emails and sending photos of herself,and saying she was a dedicated christian value person like myself and she had fallen in love with me and wanted to get a passport and visa to come to australia to marry me and live with me.I then sent her $1,200 to get all the nesissary documents to get the passport and sent me a scan of ,police clearence,medical clearence and then a copy of the so called passport with the recent date and her photo on it,then she said she needed me to send another $2,200 to pay for a visa from the australian embassy and paid agents to help get the visa cleared more quickly,then she said the embassy needed her to show a bank statement,and needed me to send another $4,500 to prove to the embassy that i was sponsering her to get to australia,and she had plenty of money to show that she could pay for all the airfares,from accra to johanesberg to sydney aust',and have enough left on her when she arrived in aust'.The plan origionally was for her to get here and then both of us to drive over to western australia to see my 92 year old father whom had been put into a nursing home,and my family sais i should get over there quickly before his dementia got to bad and he wouldnt remember me or he could pass away,and for that reason also i needed to get there quickly.I also have a chronic spinal injury and am on a very low government disability pension,and she knew i was raising all of the money by selling all of my expensive furnitue and houshold items.my spine condition escalated to urgent surgery as the vertebrae was now imposing on the main exiting nerve roots and i told her,it would be better if i sold my car,and for her to return $4,000 back to me so that icould fly to west' aust' where i can get the immediate surgery quicker,and also so i could see my father before it was too late,and i would buy another car over there and get us a unit accomodation,and then send back to her the money needed to fly direct to west' aust',she said she would send the $4,000 via western union,but i have been trying to phone her and cannot get connected and she isnt responding to any emails i send to ask what is going on and when is she is going to send the $4,000 back to me to carry out this new plan that she agreed to.But as said,i she is not answering any phone calls or any emails.and now i feel certain that all the money i sent to her which all up including western union money tansfers is now approximatly $8,800.I have sent about 5 emails saying if she has scammed me,how low can she get morally and ethically to scam a low income disabled man,and all the thousands of dollars i have lost by selling everything i own.I said in the last email,how can you go so down low to scam a man like me,that she had not only stolen all that money,but i am also so heart broken and in dismay in unbelief that a human being could go so low.She said her residential address is 14 avenue spintex road,east legon,Accra/Ghana.Her mobile number is 233240753973.The money i was sending via western union was in another name because she claimed that her id had been lost,so the name on the western union transfer was,Sherif Agbo,14 spintex road,east legon,Accra,Ghana.She gave me details of a bank account;Pro Credit,account name:Sarah Scout,account number:02470 540-311 1.Her bank web site:http://www.procredit.com.gh ;branch in Accra. A photo that she origionally had of herself when i met her on facebook,that photo now has the name;Mercy Lucas.I have phoned her about 16 times in the last 3days and sent about 8 emails and i get no response,so that obviously proves to me that i have been cold heartedly,and no guilt - positive low down immoral scam.
