I was contacted by what I know now was a Military Romance Scammer, who called himself Christian W. Hutchison. I thought I was just corresponding with a soldier, like a pin-pal. We talked from June 1, 2021 until the middle of June when he asked me to help him get his belonging home before his retirement on November 30, 2021. I was told that a company that w[censored]ding his belonging would be contacting me. When they contacted me, the Company called itself Ssurce Security Company LTD. I was told that there would be a charge for the shipping of $6,850.00. I told Sgt. Hutchison that the requested shipping costs. He later informed me that his account was dormant and couldn't be used. That if I would send the shipping fee for him, he would repay me when he returned home. I told him I wasn't happy about this, but he convinced me that he was on the up and up. I know I was stupid and used. After that I got another email from the company stating that the storage fees needed to be paid before shipment of $47,530.00. I q uestioned the amount of the storage fees I was sent the supposedly original documents, I think now they are forgeries. I objected to such an amount but this person posing as Sgt. Hutchison would repay me I reluctantly sent the money. After that I received another email from the company stating that the box had to be titled in my name and the fee to change ownership was $12,500.00. The box by the way I was told was in Germany. Well dumb me sent the money, filled out the form. A little bit after that I received another email from the company telling me that they will need $89,750.00 more for customs charges, etc. At this point I confronted Sgt. Hutchison, I refused to send any more money. He is still trying to this day to get more money from me. This Sgt. Hutchison I was told by him that he is in Iran on a mission in a camp and all he can do is text and email. I trusted him to do the right thing by me, but now I know that everything he hold me was a lie. I have searched and Christian W. Hutchison doesn't exist. The Company is using another company's logo and forms. The pictures of him are more than likely someone else. I have followed the email paths I have IP addresses and the ring of host that they are connected to. All the IP addresses used are connected to Oath Holdings, Inc.

He quickly professed his love and said he wanted to marry me before leaving for Turkey as an engineer for a contract overseas. He had us move to Google chat before because he said it was private for him and l. He then said he forgot his wallet and asked for $4500 for materials. When l refused, he then said he needed Apple gift cards for to keep connection as well as meals and materials for a span of two months until his alleged date to come home. At that time, he then said he needed money for a plane ticket as he said he forgot to book his flight home. At this point, he tried to get money through bank transfer, cash app, and Zelle. When that failed, he then said he would need $4500 for the plane ticket on Apple gift cards. After failing to "return home", he then said he received an email from the agent(Baris Kezer)releasing the money for the contract and that l would need to set up an account with the bank in Turkey to receive money to help him further. After completing set up for the account through DenizBank( various different domain addresses that l received for this fake account) he told me to transfer money. When that failed, the"bank" then stated l would need to pay $6,845 to reactivate the account through Capital one bank with a swift code that doesn't exist. Furthermore, after not paying the "fee", l was then sent an email stating the money was being sent to me in a safe box with a check and cash through a company named Widemax Logistics. After tracking this package, it was then held up in Berlin, Germany for custom clearance for a fee of $3400 to be paid through money gram in two separate transactions to a gentlemen in Turkey. Finally, after refusing any more money, he then continued to claim he was stuck in Turkey and l needed to pay the customs or continue to buy Apple gift cards because he was starving.
