Internet Love Scam
I got connected with this guy called Bee Travis from Tinder. After a few days of chatting on Tinder, we moved to WhatsApp as we got comfortable and as we are both mature and he looked clean n sincere. 

Travis claimed to be an American from Huntington and a divorcee and father of 1 son, who's studying in UK. We chatted daily over the phone for about 1.5mths. 

Travis said he's based in Bintulu for project & after would be heading to Singapore. Soon after, he told me he faced problems with his storage equipment n needed to rent a space urgently n the agent there needed him to pay immediately n he asked me for HELP. I don't know why I agreed as I trusted him as we communicated daily!

I transferred $6,600 to his agent name Matthew Tzebeng Ng n he promised to return the loan within days. We continue our normal communication till after 3 days, I asked him about my money n he says the guy went missing n he himself felt cheated n he says he paid 6600 to the office when he was at the shipyard.. I'm so devastated & felt cheated. N best thing he asked me to look for that agent Matthew or go to my bank for help. From there, I know it's a scam n to make it look real he provided me with the agent hp n home address n asked me to get money back. 

I felt ashamed of myself n I didn't dare to share my situation with my friends and get help. After the incident, where our conversation would always be on my loan to him. He became another person and turned cold n he stopped messaging me. I sent him many messages but he didn't reply although he is on WhatsApp. Now, it's been 2months & I knew I was cheated. 

Please be aware of this Bee Travis Rodriguez... I was cheated n he's a scammer.
