chicago tribune- A 48-year-old west suburban Naperville man never met his online girlfriend, but he didn't mind sending her cash — $200,000 over about two years. The Naperville man told police he started the online courtship about two-and-a-half years ago. His name hasn't been released.
Since the relationship began, he's wired about $200,000 to her at bank accounts in Nigeria, Malaysia, England and the United States. The Naperville Sun reports that the man had an ID from the woman that was a sample driver's license from Florida.
The jig was up this week when the man contacted police to ask for their help in rescuing the woman, who he said had been kidnapped in London. Police say the man "was in disbelief" when an officer told him his girlfriend didn't exist.
Say what you want about this guy, but I think he might be on to something. Sure he could spend all his free time with a real girl, taking her out to dinner and buying her things and crap like that. Or he could just skip all that shit and wire her the money directly. I'm sure she was grateful and wrote him nice messages in return for the tons of cash that he gave her. Also, this guy could tell all his family and friends that he was dating a smokin hottie that spent a lot of time overseas. Isn't that better than not having a girlfriend at all? And he was left with plenty of time to get things done, like earning the money he would later send to his fake girlfriend. Of course he was in disbelief when finding out that he had wasted two and a half years of his life, sending his lifesavings to a chick that didn't exist. But I'm sure it was nice while it lasted, right? You think a clown like this could've held on to a real woman for over two years? Not likely.
