I do know him
Have you meet him in person?
Quote:
He gave the story of living in NY; wife died; mother died of cancer and father died last year.
This is very common of scammers.
Quote:
I did give him money and after a lengthy discussion it is being paid back
You will not get any of your money back. In fact chances are he will try and get you to send more.
Quote:
He stated that he works in Nigeria, with a company called "Turner Construction, Co".
This is also very common.
Weather you want to believe it or not, I do believe you are in contact with a scammer.
