This
person BEATRICE POPESCU fraudulently received from me 13,153 dollars USA.
The
details of my story are as following:
I
met Beatrice Popescu in April of 2002. We started our correspondence
gradually. She soon started complaining about having to go to the Internet
Café because she couldn’t afford a computer for home and would
always be telling me how poor she was and that only a privileged few
people in Romania actually had paying jobs. In time, she gradually
escalated her expressions of affection for me and I really believed that
she was sincere.
By
November of that year, we seemed to be committed to each other. By this
time, we had agreed that she would come to the US and that we would marry.
From this basis, She requested and I assumed responsibility for her
finances. At first just for some things, but as time went on, for
everything.
Also
at this time, Beatrice deactivated her Cherry Blossoms profile to prove
her commintment to me. I did not know until much later that, she
simultainiously created a alias profile and maintained this alias profile
throughout the entire duration of our relationship.
She
first requested money from me in Nov ’03 for $240. It was for a
passport so that she could go to Bulgaria with her mother.
After
that, she requested money for a trip to Paris. Then she made a
request for money for Internet service so that she could write me from
home. I have also included a Western union receipt as well as the
letter requesting this.
It
didn’t seem like to great of a financial sacrifice being as she loved me
and that she would someday be my wife. Of course, I only sent her
money because I believed what she told me, that she loved me and that she
would come to America and we would soon be married.
It
was in June of 2003 that she says that she graduated from the Bucharest
University and needed my complete support and expected me to send her
money every month until we could arrange for her Fiance VISA and we would
get married. It was unknown to me at the time that, as of Nov '02,
Beatrice was simultaneously maintaining a profile at the Mail Bride site
called Cherry Blossoms.
She
said that if I loved her, and that if I wanted her to come to America and
be my wife, that I would do this for her. I ended up not only
sending her money for her monthly bills, but also taking care of her
dental and doctor bills.
We
communicate on a day-to-day basis on our plans for marriage and a life
together in America either over the phone, or thru the Internet.
May
2004, she told me that she had an apprenticeship for a Belgian owned
Company, and that even though she was working 8 to 10 hours a day Monday
thru Friday, that she was never paid. She never told me the name of
this company.
In
2004, I arranged to go to Bucharest to meet her. I told her that
this meeting was not only so that we could prove our meeting for the Fiancé
Visa requirement, but also to see if we where compatible in our being
together. We stayed together from 29 Sept till 4 Oct. There in
Bucharest, I proposed to her and she said she would be my wife.
Back
in America, in January, I found a good Immigration lawyer and started
getting all the paperwork ready for her VISA process. I also moved
to a larger apartment that would accommodate the both of us.
In
February of 2005, I sent her the paperwork she needed to fill out, along
with instructions. In May, she still had not completed the paperwork. The
second week of May, I told her that I wanted the paperwork to be sent to
me by end of May or that I would think that she was not serious, and she
promised me that I would have it by then.
That
month of May, she also requested an additional $100 on top of the usual
$400 that I sent every month. (I send you an Email attachment for the
Western Union receipt for this as well as the letter requesting it).
Up
until this time, everything seemed normal in our relationship except that
she was taking so long for the paperwork. She still expressed her love for
me threw the Emails and the phone conversations we had as well as her
desire to come to the US and be my wife. I sent her the $500 and that was
it. From that moment from when she received that $500, she has not
answered any of my phone calls or written me any letters.
I
went onto the Cherry Blossoms Bride site where we initially met and
entered a search for Romanian Woman aged 26 thru 28. There I found her
profile using an alias as “Sara” (I have included a scan of this page
titled “CB Profile - Beatrice ‘Sara’ Popescu).
The
page says that she started the profile in November of 2002, which means
that she created the profile at the very moment when I began sending money
to her. It also means that she ran the profile during the whole time
of our relationship. Second, the profile says that she updated the
profile in June of 2004, which was only four months before I came to be
with her in Bucharest. And last, the profile says that she last
visited the site in January of 2005. At the very least, she was
actively seeking contact with other men the entire time that I was
supporting her.
From
this information, it is clear that she never intended to come to the US to
be my wife, that she purposely deceived me in order to have an income of
over $400 per month, and that when it came time for her to complete the
Fiancé VISA paperwork, that she cut off contact with me. Professional
investigators might better determine what the reality of this situation
is. There is one thing I am sure of: Beatrice does not have a paying
job and she would not have ended our relationship if she didn’t have
another man sending her money. I am also sure that I would
never have sent her any money, unless she had let me know unequivocally
that she intended to come to America and be my wife.
