Guy Wires $200K to Fake Internet Girlfriend

Net gf

Naperville, Illinois policemen told the Chicago Sun-Times that on Wednesday, a 48-year-old man called the police station and claimed his ‘girlfriend’, who he’s been with in a 2 1/2-year online relationship, had been kidnapped in London, England.

The man told the police he had wired $200,000 to the woman during the relationship to different bank accounts in Nigeria, Malaysia, England and the United States.

Investigators said the ID card the woman showed the man via Internet, was a sample driver’s license from Florida, and they had to break it to the guy that his Internet girlfriend was fake. They said the poor man “was in disbelief” when they told him the woman was not real, police said.

Oh my gosh! Can you imagine!!!
