Daniel-Oliver Martins is a smooth talking, seductive accent scam artist. Started talking to him on an online dating site one day. Within that conversation, he said he was a Civil Engineer and had to complete one more job in South Africa before he retires.
He would be there for 5 weeks then will be back to US = living in Greenwich Conn. in a 4 bedroom home with a swimming pool. He called me when he "arrived" in South Africa and quite a bit thereafter. One week after he "arrived", he claimed he was robbed (1st red flag).
Second day after he allegedly got robbed, he asked me to send him $500 in iTune cards. I asked him to send me a police report of his robbery and he got highly insulted (2nd red flag). After I reluctantly sent him 2 cards, he had the nerve to ask me if I could send more, which of course I did not.
The next thing he whinned about was not being able to cash a $2M check given to him by the South African company that contracted him to build a building (3rd red flag). No one is paid after a job is completed and the company would;ve wired that large amount to his business account.
Then he claimed to not be able to pay his taxes on the check because he exhausted all his money in the building project. He whinned and whinned until I finally gave in and sent him money (not enough for me to go broke). When I told him how much I was sending, yet again, he asked if I could send more.
My response to him at the time I sent the money was....."please don't ask me for anything else, because if you do, I will definitely know you are a scam artist". He laughed. Not too long after this, he sends me an email asking me to send $850 to some Winnie Zesipho in Capetown because he is at the airport and the officials will not let him travel if he doesn't pay BTA taxes. I did not do it. First of all, there is no such thing as a BTA tax, secondly -- he apparently didn't believe me when I said I was not sending anything else.
To conclude, the last thing he asked me for was $200 in gift cards yet again; and at this point I told him to F-off. All the signs were there as I knew his existence was a text-book example of an Internet scam artist. I googled his name and the address he provided, he was no where to be found on google search.
I did what I did because I fell for a sad story from a pathetic individual. I have a good heart and thought maybe he was in some kind of desperate situation. I did not fall in love with a person I never met, I did not fall for a man who had no personal shame who found nothing wrong with asking women for money. Then again, this is the normal behavior of a scam artist. His soul will go to hell for deceiving women and I will continue to be blessed on the strength that I helped a total stranger who sold me a faux bill of goods.
