He contacted me through private message. We talked for about a good 5 months, said he worked from home, he also works as an exporter, he is a single dad has a son his father died and he takes care of his elderly mom. He asked for $200 to get him to the US embassy so he could return to the US, he said he was robbed and they beat him up he sent me a picture of himself in the hospital. That's how I knew he was a scammer.
