Type of a scam Romance
I met "Oscar Perez" on the dating site Zoosk. We had only phone contact. He then traveled to Brazil to build a hospital and there was an accident which left him hospitalized with serious injuries. Of course, he had NO ONE else in his life but me to have his inheritance sent to from a "broker" who wanted my bank account information. Although we never met, he claimed to be in love with me and called and texted repeatedly over two weeks. The phone number he used in the united states is 612-268-4585. The number he called me from in "Brazil" is 155549495983.
Here is the email I received from his Broker at Prime Funds Manager in Ontario:
