This American woman has sent $1.4 million to internet lover she’s never met

by Anike Jacobs

An American woman, Sarah, has defended her decision to send $1.4 million to her online lover, Chris Olsen, in Africa – who she has never met.

DailyMail reports that they met online 18 months ago.

Though the mysterious man’s accent has changed over time, and he keeps asking for money to be wired to various different countries, Sarah insists she is ’95 per cent certain’ that he is telling her the truth.Despite his numerous attempts to come home so they can be together, she says, he keeps getting arrested on false charges.

In an interview with Dr Phil, Sarah explained that they speak for hours on the phone each day.

She described the moment they met on the internet:

‘An attractive person came on there and said “wow you look like you wouldn’t hurt a fly”. I said “wow this guy’s really handsome, I can’t believe he’s talking to me!”‘

He told her he was called Chris Olsen, who hailed from Milan but moved to the U.S. 18 years ago.

Currently, she says, he is based in Africa on business, and has been for more than a year and a half.

When they met he said he was in South Africa. After a brief stint in Nigeria, he relocated to Benin, Sarah explained.

Within seven weeks of meeting, he professed his love in a gushing email that referred to her as ‘Mrs Olsen’, and days later, he sent the first of many requests for money.

She has now sent him $1.4 million in total for hotel bills, calling cards, lawyers, an expired visa, stolen credit cards, and bail. Last June, she even had to sell an apartment she owned to wire him $550,000 for bail.

However, she believes he is trying his best to make it home.

Sarah however, concedes that there are suspicious elements to his story:

 ‘When I first started talking to him,’ she told Dr Phil, ‘He sounded Italian now his accent’s kind of changed I don’t know if he’s adapted to where he’s at… in Benin.’

But, she concludes: ‘I still believe in love.’

  1. Am in love with this woman but I don’t know how to contact her please I need her cantact ooooh

  2. She needs more help then Old Phil can offer! She needs to be committed to a hospital for the insane! If she really believes this con man she is a very sick lady, I feel so very sorry for her. After 30 years in Law Enforcement I have seen this over and over again! But look on the bright side he will have all her money, she can’t afford to eat she will lose weight and find a real person here in America. SO sad!

  3. Lias your saying d righting safety is d key

  4. MAYBE PEE GREEN IS RIGHT SHE MAKES US LOOK DUMB. however, look at her . she seems to have fallen in love with love. She is like me heavyset not as beautiful as some women. This man and many men on the internet prey daily to find a candy lady who will support them. They will lie to get what they want. She only wanted love and yes love is blind it makes us do things we normally would not do. I wish this man will be brought before her in the USA and repay her every cent if he turns out be lying about his undying love for her. I know this wont happen but perhaps she will come to her senses. I am like her in many ways but without the money. I get many men asking me to send them jewelry merchandise and cell phones. I just tell them no because I cannot afford it. So what do they do they quit talking to me. Another thing many men do from other countries is go to BBW websites where there are many women who over 300 pounds and they fancy them asking them to come to their country and get married. They tell you ‘I love you” you have a beautiful body.” Its starts there and they call daily thru the Skype facebook outlook anywhere to get your attention as if they stay by the computer day in and day out until they find their sucker. Go to BBW CHAT city.com and you will see the countless men from Turkey, Kurdish, India, Pakistan and even England. They call you all the time ask for you cell phone and you start to feel the pressure or guilty or love—thinking this is the one—but when you don’t give them what they want they move on or sometimes still call you until you break. Anyhow, what they do to you you do to them. Not really. Oh yeah watch out for the young ones from 22-35. They are more than likely to prey on older women. After 39 well they just want sex. I am smarter that this now. I will go out with an American man who is closer to me and well sees my pictures and body type and either will like me for who I am and will be more truthful. I even had a man from Florida come on to TWOO and tell me “eres muy fea jajajaja” means you are very ugly. He may have been rude but oh well he was American and he can go on his way. You do not tell any man what your account balance is at any time. You don’t trust anyone until you are sure. Now when I go online I am honest I show my pictures and I tell them the truth. A man who never shows his face to you well what is he hiding? Nevertheless, I still have a lot to learn for one things is pictures and links to websites such as twoo, bbw chatcity.com you dont want to have links in where people can see your area where you live, who your kids are, who are you relatives and friends are. This gives predators power they chat to you get information and can hurt you or your family members. Safety is the key. I have been online since 2007 before that I was occupied with College stopped a little bit in university from 2008-2012. After that from 2011-until now I like think that I have become an expert on this topic but I am not. However, I do have experience. I just hope this woman can see that he is just using her.

  5. There are just no words. Sometimes I am embarrassed to be a woman . . . . she makes us look dumb 🙁

    1. No other person can make you look dumb. She is just dumb. I get stuff from these Nigerians all the time but I think that somebody has to be falling for this crap or I wouldn’t continue to receive this garbage.

    2. @ pea green don’t look dump just that you girls need to be very very careful because 80% of man are fake so trust none of them God will be with
