My story is similar to those shared in Feb and Mar 2020. 

Got to know Jason (claimed to be a freelance architect) from okc since Mar 2020 and had chatted with him daily for about 4 months. 

He mentioned he is from moscow, adopted by russian couple and was there since 3 years old. mum passed away, dad at nursing home. he was very sweet, caring. sent me daily morning message and after known him for about a month, he asked for my email address and also sent me daily emails. The whole encounter felt really real until recently he got a call from Cyrus to inform him that the warehouse that he built COLLAPSED and he needed to fly over. He was told client requested compensation of USD 50K and his lawyer had helped him with 24K, left 26K.  Called me desperately and sounded super real that he needed help to raise money. I didn't give him any money as I suspected that he's a scammer.

Blocked him off after that.
