I was a little worried because he seemed too good to be true. He said he was currently in Benin finishing of an architect job and would be back in the UK in a couple of weeks. He gave me his mobile number which was I later found out to be from Nigeria.

Then he claimed that his mobile wasn't working and could I send him a new one, he wanted a new iphone, I started to feel uneasy asked for more pictures, which he sent, but when he rang there was something about his accent that didn't seem right. He demanded I send him a phone and DVD's etc. Then one morning I got a txt to say he and his daughter were really ill the doctor had been called. Later that day I got another text to say they were both being rushed to hospital. `Then finally at the end of the day I got a call from him saying that his daughter needed an urgent treatment and if I didn't send him £2000 his daughter woudl die. I aid I didn't have that kind of month, and after a lot of abuse and threatening he said send me £500 then. I put the phone down.

A couple of days later I tried to get into my hotmail account and I couldn't the password had changed, I realised it was him so I rang him up and said what was he playing at. He said he wanted money and once he had that he would give me my new password. He went in and changed my match.com password as well. He read out some emails from my box just to prove that he was in it.

I reported it straight away to the police who could do nothing, to match.com and if any of you have tried that it is really hard to get to anyone and explain the seriousness of what has happened. And the to get hold of microsoft to help was a totl nightmare.

I know have access to my hotmail account again and all the other things that he changed. But he has my home address and I like a lone and it is very unsettling and scarey not knowing what these people are going.

His name was LUKE HARDY but he also mentioned HARRISON SMITH

his email address is lkhd20m@hotmail.co.uk
