Complaint 9589 Details

Micihael Torres @ [email protected] contacted me first on FB the latter part of June, 2011 with a message admiring me. Said he was in drilling and purification and had to go to France for work but lived in El Paso, Tx @ 945 S Mesa Hills and phone #: 2154887696. Day after he was supposed to be in France I looked up a current phone # 00122966645854 and it was a Benin, Africa #. Within a week his daughter, which does not exist contacted malaria and yellow fever, which later I discovered has to be vaccinated before one enters the country. At that time he needed $540 for medicine or she would die. I applied for a loan but she was well before loan transaction was completed or so I thought it was completed. He said he sold his wedding band. Right after that he showed me an agenda for a non refundable flight from Contonou to El Paso and said he was on his way home. Later in the day I called and someone else answered his phone and said he was in custody of Contonou airport police for lack of BTA. (He did tell me he needed $270 for that but didn't believe him until someone else answered his phone). A spokesperson got on the phone and impersonated Dr. Idrid Sedukota or somene similar. Said they needed the full amount of $270 within 24 hrs or Michael Torres was going to jail. Loan went through a couple of days later. And figured Michael just went to jail. No. They said Michael went to court and was given two more days so I wired money to a Robert Hall who I was told was the Dr.'s superior. Then Michael wanted a help getting another flight ticket because the one he had was non refundable and he missed his flight while in jail. I couldn't help so he said he had to put his profile back on Facebook. (He supposedly deleted it because I was suspicious and he wanted to prove me wrong). When he did do his profile he accidently sent me a message and it was from a Robert Hallman using the same format that Michael Torres@yahoo. did. Robert Hallman sent me a friend's request and then delicined my acceptance and all this took place the same time Michael Torres was supposed to be creating a new account. I still kept contact with Michael knowing he was Robert Hallman to see how far this would go. Michael Torres admitted he was Robert Hallman on Facebook and his real lname was Robert Hall. Robert Hall is who I wired money to tht supposed to be the superior officer.
