    Then you need to notify singles.com

    Finding the person who the picture was of I doubt he could do much more than you can.

    You are in love with a picture of a man that you feel sympathy for but you have never met or talked to?

    It would be difficult to find the real person depicted in the photo, but it sounds like something the authorities should be looking into.

    Have you lost money through this scam?

    Alla. Its not about money, I lost or not. Its about that I really want to find this man, but how?

    You need to contact the authorities.

    They need to handle the scam, but they will not be able to get you hooked up with the gentlemen.

    The issue here is this could be anyone from anywhere, Russia, US, some stock photo or something stolen.

    The person you talked or chatted with is not this person so you know nothing about them.

    You can not be in love, you may be having sexual feelings because of his looks, but a person you have never talked to, don't know anything about them, can not be love.

    I will be blunt and maybe hurtful, if you are that lonely that you can fall for both the Nigerian scam and still be "in love" with a photo of a unknown person,

    You do need seroiusly to get into counseling.

    I think that it is you who doesn't understand love.

    You do not know anything about this person, you have a photo, you don't even have an accurate name.

    You know the meaning of fantasy, that is what you have.

    No one here is trying to be cruel and I don't believe that we are being cruel. Just trying to bring some reality back into your life.

    Exactly
    If they are in love with the picture then I am sure I can find a few pics they can fall in love with even more. How do you fall in love with a picture and don't even know a thing about the person

    If they are in love with the scammer...
    Either case
    They do not know what love is.

    Gee if it is a matter of life or death to meet the guy in the picture I should have died at the age of 4
    I was in love with Kurt Russell. Now 50 years later he still has no idea I exist,. BUT I still watch his movies to this day
    :D

    Switch this around - he obviously doesn't want you to find him or he would have given you correct info at some point.

    If he wants contact, he knows who/where you are.

    I'd leave it that way. I see no happy ending here.

    Why don't you tell us "what is mean LOVE"? Maybe we are all misunderstanding this.

    I see that this man lied to you and scammed you. For whatever reason you think his story is fake, his photo is fake - but his love for you (and I would assume he expressed a love for you) is real.

    Not being judgmental - I just don't understand. What is your definition of love?
