Robin, please don't post your email address on this site in search of a photo to confirm you are either a victim or about to be a victim in a romance scam.  The name should be enough.  The photos are fake anyway, and changed just to fool trusting woman who want to believe.  This is an ugly business.

You are at risk if you are being told any story that has a part that involves sending money to a guy you never met.  The stories are all about the same.  Sometimes the guy poses as a US "serviceman".  He needs money for his mom, or his sister or to bribe immigration officials or police so he can fly to your arms.  If you are told to send $$ by Western Union or Green Dot, that is confirmation that this is a scam.

If you want to post here the story you are being told, there are people who can tell you if there is a chance it is real or not.  The truth is, if you are asking these questions, you have been or you are about to be scammed.  I hate being the one to break this new to you, but you deserve to know and to protect yourself and your money.   Be Safe!
