Donna had a devastating 10 years. Her daughter died in 2010 in a tragic drowning accident, and not long after, in 2016, her son died as well. As anyone can imagine, this made her life very difficult. It was the most trying time in her life.
While trying to make it through the grieving process, she decided to reenter the world of dating. She started with Christian Mingle. That’s when she stumbled upon the profile of Martin, a man from Germany. She messaged him once, and when she didn’t get a reply, she messaged him again. And when he responded, they seemed to click right away. They communicated at the begging of every day, and at the end of every night.
Martin was there for Donna in the times when she was struggling the most. Sometimes, her mind couldn’t help but drift into reminiscing about the times she had when her children were still alive. This would set in motion a wave of gloomy feelings. Before she knew it, Donna would be in a downward spiral. She has one surviving grandchild, and the stress of the loss in the family drove her to lash out at times, sometimes at Donna. Martin would give her the best advice, exactly when she needed to hear it. He would tell Donna that her grandchild was just a kid, dealing with a tough time, and it was only natural for her to lash out. He would even exchange stories about his childhood. She felt like he was there to help her lift the heavy emotional burden left by the absence of her two children.
Within 5 months of talking to each other, the tone of their conversations changed. Whenever Martin talked to Donna, he began to use the word “we” whenever talking about future plans. They even began to talk about marriage and traveling. By this point in the conversation, Donna says that Martin knew more about her than anyone else she knew in her life. And she began to really believe they had a future together.
6 months into the relationship, Martin had good news. He was hired by the world health organization to create commemorative medals for the health professionals who helped fight the spread of Covid-19. He was tasked with designing them and sourcing the metal to go into the neckless. To do this, we would head down to a mine in Russia where he knew the right deposits were.
Donna was happy for Martin, but not too long after, Martin would ask her to transfer money. She did so gladly. But once he sent the transfer, he would ask again, and again. And she would send more. This cycle would go on and on, and before she knew it, donna had sent $87,000!
This was all deeply confusing to Donna. How could a man who was her emotional support for so long taking advantage of her in this way? She didn’t believe that he was. so She continued to help him. It wasn’t she who gave him the password for her iCloud so he could use her credit cards so that she would find out the truth.
When Martin signed in to Donna’s iCloud, everything from his phone got copied onto hers. Donna could see all of his photos, text messages, and more. She kept seeing pictures of an unfamiliar man. Through the contents of his phone, she found out that it was his true identity. Everything he had told her was a lie, and she would never see the money she sent him again.
