Today I met a guy here, he seemed to be normal, he asked me about my facebook to chat and I added him, we started chatting and after a few minutes he started telling me that he loved me so much, and asked me to put that I was engaged with him. I had not seen him on cam yet. Silly me that I did what he asked and then I asked him to chat on skype and there I noticed he was another guy, he didn't look like the one in pictures, was a lot older and with features and a strong accent from the Middle East not like Irish as he claimed to be, we talked for about 30 minutes and I gave him my mobile phone and he gave me his (silly me), and he kept on saying that he loved me, that I was yours. After that I cut the chat and deleted him off FB and Skype because I felt uncomfortable and now he keeps on calling me and sending me sms furious, asking me why I did that to him. Seems that here there are alot of weirdos, scammers and players, no normal guys at all. Did I do the correct thing deleting him? Do you think he was really a serious desperated man looking for his soulmate? The weird thing is that his facebook was new, he had nothing on his wall and I was his only friend.
I NEVER give out any personal information until the guy has proven he is genuine by taking the time to write me at least several weeks -- or more. If a guy tries to push you into something you're not comfortable with, he's either desperate or a nutter. You did the right thing by blocking him. Trust me!
YOUR MISTAKE WAS CARRYING IT ON WHEN YOU KNEW THAT WASNT HIS PIC AND HE WAS DECEIVIVING RIGHT AWAY, YOU FED INTO IT SO YOUR JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME, YOU MAKE UN SAFE DECISIONS.

You learnt the hard way. A scammer, plays with the heart. Scumbags.

She is NOT to blame as well, how cruel of you. She is just a very trusting person who was manipulated by this scumbag. Shame on you.

I know you mean well, but the guy has a point. At some level, we are all responsible to mitigate our own lives. Tough love isn't a bad thing, for crying out loud. It's a step in the right direction to get someone to "flick on a light" inside. If we don't learn to be astute, we can't complain. JMO

Crespo sounds like all the alarm bells were ringing - you just chose to ignore them??
Which makes me ask - who was the desperate one?
If he asks you to add him to FB early in chatting to him, his FB is a new identity, skype - he is not the same as his foto? Give him your mobile no. ?????
Yes, I think you learned the hard way - maybe you should read the 'Scam Warning' (top of this page, 3rd line, next to My Profile).

Have to agree...and have a few red flags popping up on her too...
No matter how naive or trusting..why would you agree to saying your engaged to someone who you have only talked to on FB for a few minutes
then she adds him on skype..sees that he has lied and isnt who he says he is but still gives him her phone number
according to her profile she works as a secretary and earns $150,000 a year...jeez id like her job..
