He is being catfished. Unless he has FaceTimed her, it could be a guy from Nigeria. A picture isn’t enough because pictures are stolen all the time to catfish somebody. Why does she need his money if she has a boyfriend? He must be extremely naive to send money to anyone online, even you before you met in person. Online scammers are very good at finding a victim’s weak spot then bleeding them dry. And she (or he because it could be a guy pretending to be a damsel in distress) will keep asking for money until he has nothing left. Then they dump them and move on to the next person. Try to talk some sense into him. He is headed for a big, expensive fall.

Voices can be altered to sound like anyone. But she’s so amazing because it’s her job. These scammers know exactly what to say to reel them in. Look how fast she got him to send her money. The first time he doesn’t send money, she will change and won’t be so wonderful. Of course he doesn’t give you money because you aren’t a professional thief. But at this point he cares more about her than you. Get out of this mess. Find someone who does care about you and isn’t gullible. You can try to talk to him and ask him to see what happens if he doesn’t give her money, but he might be a lost cause. People have sold their houses and given all the money to scammers. You’d be surprised how prevalent it is. I’m sorry for you and sorry for your boyfriend, but there is someone better for you out there.
