Robert McMiller

This man contacted me through match.com using the name Robert McMiller (he's been reported previously on this site under a different name). Said he was a mechanical engineer who started his own company doing industrial machines for international companies. Said he's from New Zealand, moved to Fresno CA ~2 yrs ago and Houston in October '11. Wife died 2 yrs ago from breast cancer (but I couldn't find an obit in ANY of the California or Auckland, NZ papers from '09-'11 that listed her). His children's names are Julie and Mark; I actually spoke to Julie on the phone and she's a very sweet little girl (5 yrs old, Mark is 3). He just finished a 2 week contract in the Republic of Benin (west Africa) installing industrial generators, shipment was way above what he was prepared to pay so I loaned him $3K. He then hired workers that needed to be paid before HE got paid, needed cash for that. Needed cash for the hotel bill, and then again for changing the tickets flying out of Ghana to come back to the States (was going to come stay with me for 2 weeks with the children). Professed to love me - had even asked me to marry him, said that he had not fallen this hard for someone over the Internet before. Can write very romantic emails & IM's (yahoo). Final straw was when I called the airline to ask them to pass on a message to him - he wasn't registered to be on the flight, and wasn't registered with them AT ALL. He says he uses Delta/KLM, but he's not in their database. I'd also checked with the US embassy in Benin - the embassy checked and said that this man doesn't even hold a US Visa (so he may not even be a US citizen; my bet is that he's still a New Zealand citizen). He is probably living in Nigeria and getting the money in Benin because it's easier to wire money to that country - less scammers. I've got his cell number (works), as well as his home address (what he TOLD me was his address, at least). I had not wanted to believe that this man I'd fallen in love with could do such a thing - I'd previously been scammed by another man. Robert said that he would NEVER do anything to hurt me, and he respected me and would always honor me and tell me the truth. Incredibly believeable. PLEASE beware. I can promise you that, nomatter WHAT he says, he IS lying to you. Feel free to contact me if you want any further information. He scammed me out of >$7K. He is VERY good at what he does.
