Scam Website:
This Man approached through Plenty of Fish dating site.
Said he was traveling to South Africa to finalize business and then moving to Australia permanently.
Initially emailing and telephoning over a couple of months then said that he was transferring his funds from an account in Pretoria in South Africa to Australia.
Had documents sent via \"First National Bank of South Africa\" which looked genuine.
Had $2,700.00 and $700.00 deposited into a specific account to be on forwarded to him via Western Union.
I questioned many times about this being a scam and how could it be that fees had to be paid to transfer funds.
I stupidly believed this man and sent funds and after a couple of months of asking for my funds to be returned I contacted the Head Office of First National Bank and forwarded emails to them and was advised that this was in fact a scam.
Said this:
I attented Stranahan High School Ft. Lauderdale, FL Graduated 1979, High School Diploma and Degree: Bachelor\'s Degree in engineering at the University of central florida. Orlando, FL 1984,

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
