Olivia, Part 1

My time with Olivia began very differently than I thought my first online encounter would be. I spent weeks trying to figure out how I would possibly pursue an online romance. Olivia reached out to me on Mastodon and chatted a small amount for a couple of days, but then suggested security was poor and she wanted me to contact her through Telegram. Yes, my very first attempt reached out to me without any pretext from me. I thought maybe karma was being good to me!

On Telegram, our conversation turned to our desires and she offered me a "menu" of possibilities, stating she was a content creator and an escort. I spent the next week trying to determine if any of this was legal and if I could be getting entrapped... I was clueless on what an escort even does (well not clueless but unsure what all that entailed). I agreed that I would love the boyfriend experience and wanted to hang out with her and see where it went. I viewed it as dating and paying for her time on the date, nothing more (although I was definitely hoping for more). I paid her $400 via CashApp for the opportunity.

My schedule was (and still is) quite complex and trying to find a way to meet was difficult. My variable shifts and her distance of almost an hour away made anything soon difficult to arrange. So sure, we continued to chat and plan for our date. Our talks did become sexualized and she shared some pictures with me, none of which were really "dirty." I planned to meet up in about two weeks

Then, the first calls for financial help arrived. Her car broke down on the way to get her mom's medication and she had to get towed to the shop. They found that she needed a new head gasket and she didn't have the money to fix it. She spent extra to take the bus back home with her mom's medicine. (hint, there is no bus service in Fremont, Nebraska. Red flag!). We were only days from meeting up and she promised to pay me back when we got together, so sent her $1000 so she could get her $2500 car bill resolved. Yeah, call me a sucker, I know...

But on meetup day, I picked a place to meet up with her and I hadn't heard a thing from her. Well, of course I was suspcious but she later contacted me and said her mom had fallen and was in the hospital overnight. She was staying with her overnight and would make it up to me next weekend. She even sent me back a couple hundred dollars and promised more on payday late in the week.

Then it hit. The day before our meetup a week later, she told me she had to go down to Missouri to meet a lawyer and a diplomat (?) for the reading of her late father's will. He had been out of her life for a while but apparently still had her in his will. A few days later, she told me the story I never thought I would hear from her. Apparently, her father left her a small crate with gold bars in it, $60 million in fact. But taxes and customs releases were going to cost her $10000. She asked me to help her pay and said she would give me $20 million of the payout. Ok, red flags everywhere! This was fairly easy to google and I found the gold bar romance scam (and similar stories). I was smart enough to do a reverse image search on the photo she had of the gold bars being unloaded and it came up to a Reuters news story from a few years back.

Of course, I confronted her about it and she went silent for a day after pleading that she didn't know what to do and really needed my help. A few days later she admitted she tried to defraud me at the advice of her friend. She figured I could afford it because I was rich (I assure you I am not!). She eventually said she was so embarrassed and disconnected with me from Telegram and social media, and I didn't hear from her for over a month. Yes folks there is a part 2.

Beginnings

I could write a book about how I got to this point, but I think you would get bored. But understanding my background is probably important to understand how I got into these situations.  I have been married a long time but I am extremely lonely. You see, my wife was injured in a car accident and now lives under constant care in a nursing home. She's been there over a decade and I miss our relationship. I visit her almost every day but I don't know if she recognizes me or even knows what's going on around her.  At some point this year, the loneliness became crushing. I miss the contact of a woman's skin, and the smile she gives, the little hugs, and funny quips. I miss the sex. I don't even know how long it's been, but I assure you, it's been too long. I've dealt with the ethical and social repercussions of finding someone to hook up with and I decided I need to do something for my own life too. My mental health has suffered and I have found that depressi...

Charlotte, update and final status

Well, I finally got my answer about Charlotte. Whoever played this persona knew how to make it seem convincing. We continued to talk but she ran into a situation where she supposedly won a huge interior design contract in UAE, worth about $800,000, but she had to head over to the country in a week or so. Of course, she didn't have the money and asked me for several thousand dollars on a loan to help her out. I might have tried to help her out more if I had the money in the first place, but my suspicions were on alert. I continued to tell her I didn't have money for more than a week when she started getting pushy about it. Things were not clicking any further and she said she wanted at least $2000 or she would be really mad... so I blocked her. No, that's not the end of the story. A couple of days later, I got texts from several different phone numbers exposing my Facebook friends and a few nudes I shared with her. I swear, I only ever shared with two women... and they were ...

Xfun ?

Somehow I found myself on Xfun, an app for "meetups," and I had low expectations. The amount of people in my vicinity was quite low and many of them were suspicious. I think there may have been a few real women on this site but none seemed interested in me. I believe the app has a fairly high cost to message or "like" someone and the only responses I ever got either drained my credits or went straight for the scam. Your mileage may vary, but it's not a place I had any sort of luck with, but at least I didn't fall for any scams  ;-)
