My immediate reaction is hell NO! I would lose his name and number. And yes, I would say you are being used for some ulterior motive (imo). Block. Go full NC. Link to comment
Pixie paws Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 I think you might be right Link to comment
Tinydance Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 He probably just wants to get approved for a visa to the UK. Also if you say you're his fiancee, immigration will check that thoroughly. They will check your relationship history and all online communication most likely. If you only talked for a few weeks, they'll know you're not his fiancee. Why don't you want to date local guys?

Hollyj Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 That makes zero sense. Why would you even consider this with a stranger who lives on another continent? Isn't there anyone in your own country? Link to comment

Capricorn3 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 How old are you? How old is he? How do you know he is who he says he is? Link to comment
Pixie paws Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 We are the same age , I’ve spoken to him in a video chat Link to comment
Capricorn3 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 With Covid still being around all over the place, does the UK allow international flights to enter? And if so, is he aware he'll have to spend two weeks in quarantine before he's even able to get to see you? Link to comment
SooSad33 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Be very careful out there! 😕 HUGE amount of scammers! Scammers of all kinds.... This guy is trying to use you to get to your country, etc. Some people are unreal! Do not do this.. and also be careful he does not manipulate you somehow! I've known a few who've had stuff used against them, like threats! And avoid a lot out there... you have NO idea who they all are! So, get away from this guy.. Just stop replying at all.. If they are on your FB, block, etc. Get to know people of more familair ground.. more local, etc. Link to comment
Hollyj Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Why would you open yourself to this type of scam? How old are you? Link to comment

How do you know how old he is? Did you do a background check? How do you know if he was in another country or down the block from you? please be safe and ask yourself why you would interact with someone who would ask a stranger to lie to an official?

melancholy123 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 So you are the same age. What is that age? I think you must be pretty young. Why would you believe something a total stranger tells you? You dont know this guy at all. You have no reason to believe or trust him in any way. This most certainly sounds like a SCAM. Lose his contact info. Block and delete him. Link to comment

Do not send money. Do not give out personal info. Immediately delete and block this entity. The saddest part is you seem so lonely and isolated that you got caught up in this scam. You're thread title is interesting. Is "Mrs" that important to you that this scammer got through to you? Link to comment
LaHermes Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Pixie. That is the most blatant scam! The net is plagued by this kind of stuff. The "working for the U.N." has been a favourite line for several years now. Check this out, OP, and read it in full, please. https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2015/07/faking-it-scammers-tricks-steal-your-heart-and-money?page=127 Link to comment

smackie9 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 This is a scam. They use these fake careers to lure/impress vulnerable desperate women out of their money. Seen this on Dr. Phil. Link to comment
