A man who says that a doctor who helps people in Somalia has been robbed of money by a woman he dated

Among the victims of this man who fell into his trap is a woman named Mary Chater who said that she received a call on Facebook from this scammer who claimed to be a doctor and started dating him using the following words: Babe, sweet, and that's how he attracted her heart.

Chatar, who is 65 years old, said that this man coincided with the death of her husband, who was an actor named Julian Curry, who was a teacher of a drama that appeared on television.

"I was contacted by a man named Dani. He said that he is a psychiatrist who works for the United Nations office in Somalia," she said.

She said that the relationship lasted for two years.

"He looked like a guy we went on tour with a year ago. I loved that he devoted his time to helping others, his kindness attracted me."

In the UK it is said that there has been a rise in the number of people who use it in relationships and love, up to 60% it is said that it has increased in four years.Only in England and Wales, about 7,660 cases were reported last year, with 4,842 cases in 2019, according to data obtained by the BBC du.

Let's go back to Charter, she said that a Danish man started asking for money, under the pretense that he needs money to support research he is doing on the medical condition of the Somali people. Although she tried to send money, the bank she was using Charter intervened in the matter and stopped some of the money she wanted to send.She said that Dani was using a picture of Christian Gerhard Boving, a real doctor whose family lives in Denmark. Christian Gerhard Boving, said that the scammers have been using his picture for ten years, as he told the BBC.

He said: "Soon many thieves stole my pictures, to betray poor people around the world."Boving called on internet companies like Meta - which owns Facebook and Instagram - to do something about it.

"There should be a system to verify that a person is real, such as using a passport or driving license, so that you know if a person is real or not," he said.

A senior expert who prevents dating issues says, "People are often shy about reporting these types of cases, when they happen, they feel ashamed and embarrassed.

"We have come in contact with many people who have had problems in their lives caused by the thieves, who have taken thousands of money from them, yet these people feel ashamed to tell what happened to them or even share it with their family and friends."

In general, the police said that they saw an increase in this issue between the years 2019 and 2023, but the government said that this type of robbery has decreased by 12% within a year.

This week, the government launched a major advertisement as a prelude to a campaign aimed at combating the perpetrators of this type of theft.

Home Secretary James Cleverley said: "This wide-ranging campaign will be a very powerful tool that we will use, including the first deals with technology companies to prevent online theft and Also deploying the National Anti-Terrorism Unit, which has up to 400 education experts.”
