Scammers | Forum

My husband and I have sadly came across a scammer over the past week on this site. I actually watch a Youtuber by the name of Kitboga so I figured it out before it was too late but I have a feeling that she will be back looking for the next couple to try and scam. <p style="margin:0;">The profile she was using here has been deleted and she said it was her that removed it when she met us. We started talking with Mary Annan on Tuesday night.  She said she's from Rhode Island, almost 34, her birthday is 3/6 that she lives with her aunt and is going to school for nursing. after a couple of days of her and I talking I felt secure enough to pass her onto my husband for them to start getting to know each other. Friday I asked for her address to send her a small something for her birthday and she said all she wanted was a steam gift card.  Well that sparked red flags in me. As I said I watch Kitboga and he calls and wastes scammers time to keep them from being able to scam others. He also gets information about the person and turns them into the law. So I asked her if she heard of him, she said no and asked about him so I told her about scammers. Well she didn't react like the scammers I've seen so I felt horrible and apologized. she accepted and we moved on. I did run her name, number and email through a search site I pay for and absolutely nothing came up on her. Then again nothing came up when I ran my husbands name so I tried to forget about it.  Then today after both my husband and I finally getting to talk to her on the phone she tried to pull the scam. Her and I were chatting over messages and she asked I waked my husband up because she needed to talk to him. She then started telling us she wanted to talk with us daily on the phone but she had a problem with her phone not being able to update and then asked that he send her $100 steam gift card.  He told her no, that he wasn't comfortable with sending her that much money when he hardly knew her. She got upset told him that he wasn't treating he aas a wife. Well she's not a wife, not even a girlfriend at this point.  It's only been 5 days of talking on messages and 1 phone call. He then told her that I handled the finances and she completely stopped talking to him. She would only reply to me. She asked me how much I could send her. I told her that I wasn't going to be sending her any gift cards or money because I didn't know her and we've never met her in person.  She then went on to say that she would fly out here this Friday and spend the weekend with us. We found that odd because she couldn't afford to fix her phone but could afford hundreds of dollars to fly across the country.  She tried to say that she was booking the flight but still needed the steam card to get her phone working. We have now cut ties with her but I wanted to warn everyone about her so hopefully nobody ends up scammed. I have pictures of her that I can share if that's allowed. The phone number she uses, the email and her hangouts app name. </p><p style="margin:0;">Sorry this is so long but please be careful everyone.  This process is hard enough with finding the perfect match without adding scammers into the mix now. </p><p style="margin:0;">
