He is a romance scammer from dating sites. Says he lives in Cape Town but is actually from Texas. He works as a ship engineer traveling to different countries, then all of a sudden he gets stuck at some port and needs help with money and you need to send his son Edward money via eWallet, so that he can arrange things for his father. Please don't fall for this smooth talker, his up to no good.
