Match.com
Complaint 52220 Details

Patrick Pelischek claimed to be an agent for the European basketball group; he started emailing me from Match.com the last week of October. Two weeks later, he said he had to go to Malaysia on a business trip and was taking his alleged 14 year old daughter with him; within two days, he emailed, called and sent multiple text messages that she was hurt, in a hospital, he needed money. He scammed me in excess of $3,000 before I found out from the US Embassy that the letter he sent me was NOT from the Embassy; the passport he said he had didn't exist; all of which I confirmed, unfortunately, after my bank wired him $3,000. He said he lived in Sumter SC; I called the police department there; the address he gave me does NOT belong to him. He gave me a fictitious bank, bank account, PIN number, etc. to prove he could repay me if I lent him money. Unfortunately, according to the internet search I did, the bank is a fraudulent database working out of the UK. This person is a thief, a liar and a scam artist.
