He Never Asked for Money—Then Came the $22 Million Box | Romance Scam

She talked to him for nearly 10 months—and he never asked her to send him money. Then everything changed. Carrie believed she was developing a relationship with a successful orthopedic surgeon who claimed to be working overseas with the United Nations. He said he was financially secure, widowed, and planning a future with her. Then he revealed a crisis involving a supposed $22 million security box and asked Carrie to become his beneficiary. In the first episode of Who Am I Talking To?, I investigate the story behind the profile—including the claimed UN connection, the security-box story, suspicious business information, beneficiary request, and the photographs Carrie had been sent.
