OK Cupid.com I was victimized by a con man and lost several thousands of dollars New York New York

I signed up to OK Cupid.com, created a profile on myself. An alleged man from New Lenox, Illinois contacted me. I checked out his profile and picture. I decided to begin conversing with him. He wrote me these very long, sappy emails. He said he was in Indonesia working on The Pearl Rig.

He and 10 -12 other men owned a company and were working on a contract with Saudi Arabians. One catastophy after another seemed to allegedly happen to this alleged man. He asked me if I could send him 200.00. He said he had exausted his funds and his bank back home in Illinois could not wire him funds from his account.

I was appaled at a man asking a lady, no less a stranger for money..I told him to not contact me ever again.... A week or two later he emailed me apologizing and said I was right and he was sorry. He let the money issue go for sometime and then brought it up many conversations later.

I thought along time about this and thought what if it was me who needed financial help. I was raised in a famly who helped people always! One thing lead to another and I finally realized/ thought I was being scammed. A psychological mind game.

I went to the Elmhurst Police Department and reported this crime. Also the FBi,BBB,and the FTC. I wrote to Mr. Eli Seidman, CEO of OK Cupid.com. He assured me that security was very high on this site. He offfered NO Monetary help, replacement of any monies nor anything else!
