and online romance scam. "I can't even believe this is happening," Moses said. Neither could Mary, a woman who fell in love with a man she met on the dating website "Our Time."
The man, who introduced himself as Alexandro Perez Castillo, proceeded to bombard Mary with affectionate messages. However, unbeknownst to Mary, he had stolen Moses Castillo's identity and utilized images of his family, including his dog, which he even renamed. However, the scammer soon declared his imminent deployment to Afghanistan, a place he allegedly dreaded. It was at this point that he started pressuring Mary for financial assistance, requesting $22,000 to facilitate his return home. When Mary told him she didn’t have that kind of cash, the scammer intensified the pressure. "So he was like... get a loan, take out a second mortgage on your house," said Mary.
"I found the detective Moses, and all the pictures were the same as he sent me," Mary revealed. Realizing Mary was heartbroken, Moses told her, "I'm sorry if you felt an emotional attachment towards me. I don't even know how to respond to that."When Mary confronted the scammer, he stopped all communication. Mary believes she was an easy target because she’s been vulnerable since the passing of her husband a year ago.
