Michael Santschi Mike Santschi, Michael H. Santschi, Santschi Farms, Werner Farms, Sara Santschi Tried to get me to purchase and send him Visa gift cards. Zurich

Michael messaged me through dating website Zoosk.  Started texting me from phone number 469-444-7990 than asked to communicate through app Hangouts.  As time progressed (about a week) he grew more and more affection sweet & romantic.  He told me he was from Switzerland but relocated to the US 15 years ago because his wife was from Houston and wanted to close to her ailing mother & too they wanted to raise their children in the US.  He told me his wife (Sarah) died of cancer & he had 2 children boy age 8 and girl 7.  He told me he owned a very large cattle ranch/business in Zurich.  He told me he lived in Wimberley, Texas and had to travel to Zurich Switzerland a couple times a year and was currently there for a big cattle sale.  He said he would return to the US in a couple weeks.  He was very convincing and played on my vulnerability.  But on the 7th day he asked me to go the store for him and purchase a Visa gift card and asked how he could get me the money (trying to get bank account info) this is when the RED flag went up.  I did not give any banking info. but he continued to ask me to purchase a gift card.  When I told I couldn't do that, he got angry &called me a liar and deceitful and asked me to not text him again.   I have reported him to the Federal Trade Commission, Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) who is a partnership with the FBI, & EConsumer. 

BEWARE OF THIS CRIMINAL!!!!
