Jeffery Ryan Hopkins
Nigerian Romance Scam
Potomac, Maryland
Started emailing me, telling me he saw my profile and picture on a dating site and loved my picture. Started emailing me, slowly at first, then more frequently then all the time. Told me he was raising his son alone, he was 14, his wife died giving birth to their child. After about five weeks he told me to pray for him because he had a contract that he was hoping to win, he had to go to California. Then he called and said he won the bid. Then he said he had to go to Malaysia for three weeks for the job and when he came back he would be able to retire. He told me God brought us together, he knows I am a christian, and he was going to marry me, he had his "son" send me emails. He really stole my heart. My son-in-law informed me of the Nigerian romance scams and I did not want to believe this of Jeff. I started investigating and my heart is broken to realize that I have been scammed. I still don't want to believe it and have tried to give him the benefit of a doubt, but, he is not willing to give me any proof, so, what would that leave you to believe? The phone number he gave to me....704-990-6856 ...I can never reach him unless he tells me to call him...so I did a reverse phone check and it is registered to a person named Fred Wellington. Then another phone number he gave me 601-628-1708, I can not reach him and it is registered in vicksburg MS....so watch out for this person.....he is smoothe....and gives a goooooood line and is very convincing. He has left me devastated, hurt and unable to believe in myself. I am going through a divorce and my self esteem is already depleted....this just put me over the edge. Will I ever find true love????
