befriended on Instagram by a man called Daniel Walters from Orlando Florida, currently working on an oil rig in Greece. Told me to use Whatsapp rather than Instagram. Said he was a widow after his wife and mother had died in an accident. He has two kids Alvin and Jane aged 13 and 14. Told me he loved me and wants to marry me after 3 days of texting. I stupidly fell for it after he sent me photos of a gorgeous man and I was flattered. Lots and lots of lovely romantic messages sent and received. Yesterday asked me for $550 amazon gift card or steam wallet to resubscribe to internet. When I questioned this he got nasty and said that I shouldnt doubt him if I loved him, said I had broken his heart and his trust etc. I gave him and said that I would get them for him. He then went back to being nice again. I still havent got them and dont intend to. Why do they do this, he will break my heart as I have become very fond of him in a short time.
