Terri says she’s been in a relationship with Ricardo for two years. She says they met online when he said he wanted someone to spoil, and she responded. Terri says Ricardo is a millionaire working in Canada who has asked her to be his wife – but they have never met in person.
 
“It bothers me that Ricardo and I have not seen each other in person,” Terri says. “I am desperately trying to get Ricardo here; he always has an excuse, something always interferes with it.”
 

Terri says that a month after they met, Ricardo started asking her to send him money. “I have no idea how much money I’ve sent. It’s probably $20,000,” Terri says.
 
In the video above, Terri says she’s certain that Ricardo is a real person and not someone scamming her as family and friends claim.
