Russian brides, Senegalese brides, and the English Man duped out of £16,000 in internet dating scam

This bloke must either be very desperate or very stoopid!

After hooking up with some make believe lovelies in Russia, who were probably 900lb gorillas, he was duped out of £16,000 when asked for air fairs to fly them over. The lady in question was called ‘Natalia’, and after her demands to send £10,000 allowing her to get a visa and a flight to come and see him, he coughed up no questions asked.

It doesn’t get any better I’m afraid folks, he actually went to Heathrow Airport to go and greet her on 4 separate occasions, but guess what? She never showed.

“I feel no ill in my heart. I did really love her,” Hodgkinson told the BBC. What is this bloke on!

After the Russian encounter he thought he’d try his luck with ladies from Senegal through a Christian dating site, so Mr. Generous sent £6,000 to get her into the UK, and guess what, she never arrived either!

He even borrowed the money from his ol’lady AND remortgaged his house. His mother is now haing to take out a loan to repay the debt!

“I did tell him off about keeping going to Heathrow,” she said. “In my heart I knew they wouldn’t ever turn up. But he never listened.”
