Please excuse my first Reddit post. I might miss some established etiquette here.
I met a guy in November and we hit it off. Long story short, he said he earned a lot of money, but every now and then he would ask me to lend him £40. He said he went to the petrol station and forgot his card reader, so he couldn't move money from one account into another. I lent it around five times, and then he would give it back a few days later, or we would write it off because he paid for something else.
In February, he apparently paid for us to go to London to see a show for Valentine's. On the day we were due to go, he told me the hotel he booked had cancelled and the refund was incoming. He asked me to book a new hotel in the meantime, as he couldn't transfer money from his ISA instantly, and he would give it back to me later in the week. I sent £600.
I got suspicious of a few things he was doing and felt the money thing was a bit weird, as he claimed to earn £6k a month. I ended the relationship two weeks ago, and he became really weird.
I asked for the money back, and he agreed to give it. He kept saying X day, and then when the day came, there was a reason. The most recent is that his bank account was frozen due to a payment going in that Nationwide needed to check wasn't fraudulent. He sent me screenshots of the email from Nationwide, and it all looked real.
He then today told me it had been sorted out, and to prove he has lots of money (as I had been questioning this), he sent me a screenshot of his bank.
Everything looks the same as my screenshot of my Nationwide app except the top bit. The logo is the old one. When I asked to see the actual app, he got angry and refused.
My question is: is this a real screenshot? I've added mine for comparison.
