Quote From: knightm2234Dee-Dee,
I believe I have been taken advantage as well! I believe its the same man! This guy tells me his name is
Terry Alexandra. Terry was really from Ireland where his mother and son is there. Terry left to go to Nigeria to work for a company called Trinity gas company. Terry told me he was the superivisor over this crew of men. Terry also stated he made a mistake and paid his men first before paying his self and then he had no money for his hotel or food. Now I meet him on the yahoo messenger back in Feburary this year. We have talked for a long time now. I was never ask for money to help him to much time later that we will talking. But Terry wanted money for hotel and travel to get to the nearest airport to get to the states. Yes, to be with me and my girls because he really love me. Now he spoke good English and typed well. I did send him money to travel then he stated he was robbed by some people who shot the driver and he was in the hospital (terry) for few days. The doctors spoke with me too and told me his conditions. Terry did get on the internet at the hospital , he stated. Terry would tell me that he could leave the hospital to go to the airport until the bills there were paid first and he had no money. So yes.......I sent the money but, before I did I sent another guy over to check on him that I talked with in Nigeria. Donald Briggs was his name and he also took advantage of me too. (you think I would have learned by him) Donald told me he did see him in the hospital and Terry was really hurt.......near death. Which Terry told me days after that he was faking when Donald came in because he didn't know who he was. Donald claimed that doctors took him as Terry's next of kin so they took $400.00 of his money and paid Terry's bill. Terry confirmed that to me that day too. Terry said he over heard the doctor and Donald talking about the bills there. When Donald was trying to tell the doctors that he didn't know Terry he was only there for a friend (me) to see how he was doing. Well Donald went back to Nigeria now broke. Terry got some money from me to finish out the hospital bills and traveled to Ghana. Which he is there now, though he says. I sent him money to get food and a flight ticket and he claimed that the employees at the immgration sold him a fake ticket and that was all the money he had. So he went to hire an attorney to get the ticket back. Terry states he made a deal with the attorney that he would give some money now to pay his fees to represent him in court and send rest when home in the states. So I sent money for the attorney! Terry claims now the court has the employees locked up but it is going to cost $700.00 to pay for the clearance of the courts. Terry now wants me to send $700.00 and now hotel bill of $400.00 to get him on the flight to me. I just seen this on dr. phil and now put it all together on this Terry Alexandra. I started searching the my space and found the same picture he sent me and plus the picture you showed on dr.phil.
I did question Terry of this site and he stated that someone is using his picture to take advantage of people and he tried to contact Tom on my space to have it removed. But now this on dr. phil .........I know now I have been used and abused.
I wish I could face this man face to face and beat him to his knees for this. There has got to be some way to get revenege and stop these men from doing this to anyone else? I don't know but I hate I of all woman fell for this! I'm so ashame.
Now I like to focus on pay back some how, some way! Thing is I just found out today so my words may be hard to understand on this email because so upset and not proof reading it.

Dee-Dee,
I have the same picture you showed on Dr.Phil's show. Along with others he has sent me that was
taken the same day, same outfit, but different poses. I also have several pictures of him playing on
a dirt bike, fishing, sitting on steps and etc...
Funny thing is I showed him this site with his picture on it and told him they made a tv show of you
scamming woman! He reacted stating someone stole his picture off this site and used it to con
woman. He promised me he is not scamming me and he will prove it when he is home.
I don't know what to believe after reading dr.phil's site but I have questioned him so that he gives me
some answers. I don't know if this guy Terry is lying or not and the only way to find out is meet up with him
in Ghana. Maybe one day I will. I really would like to know for sure cos he does say everything you wanta hear.
Terry claims he has written several people telling them how he is being blackmailed with his picture. Including the editor Tom on my space. Terry claims once he is in he states he will make it right. Show people who the real person is behind that picture you and every other woman who got his picture. It just amazes me that your story came up and I'm the one who is talking to what is told to me the real person behind this picture! I only want the truth behind this picture now.
If some one could help me find out the truth? I would be greatful!
