- A 35-year-old married father of two has pleaded guilty in a sophisticated romance scam that targeted women in Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Kansas. They all met and fell in love with the same man online, who purported to be working on an oil rig. The women sent him millions of dollars to cover medical bills after he claimed to be injured in a fire.
A Massachusetts woman believed she was in a committed relationship with “Williams Moore.” So did a New Jersey woman, who fell head over heels for her boyfriend, “Manuel Sykes.” A Florida woman met “Edward Nowak” online and believed him when he told her worked in Cyprus.
