The extreme sob story makes me suspicious too. It seems that every detail submitted by this person is designed to maximize sympathy.

Yes indeed, what a bizarre post to get so many upvotes. I'd bet money that there is something shady going on here.

Unfortunately it's true, I'm sorry to make it sound like a sob story, Ive had the worst few days with this. I offered everything including my ID, banking, anything I could provide,to confirm it really is my account. Luckily I now have everything that's important.

My BS detector is at defcon 5. I'm betting this is a current or former boyfriend attempting to gain access to a account. Likely to do what has said to have happened.

Please see my current replies. I don't think I have an ex boyfriend who would be capable of this, morally or intellectually, I tend to have a type thats generally sh*t with computers like me haha
