I was duped by man I met on dating site
“He bought two expensive watches without asking my permission.
Dorothy says Edward’s personality shifted on the last night of the trip when she told him she wouldn’t give him the money. She said: “I had inherited some money and started to feel that was what he was after.
“When I said I wouldn’t give him the money, he became a different person. He was silent and gruff. When we got off the ship at Greenock, he drove us to his home.h I got my belongings and drove home. That’s the last time we spoke – about a year ago. “I feel so angry. I know I won’t get thet money back but if he’s a gentlemangent he can pay it.” EdwardE ’ s f inal bi l l is £ 151567.79. The list includes watcheswat costing £220 and £170 and a wallet costing £ 60. PuppyP Chips was £150. Other itemsitem include a jumper at £ 30, a capc at £ 14 and a bottle of vodkavod at £14. Dorothy is billing EdwardEdw £186 for the balance of a catalogue they ordered from, while the cheapest item on the list is a £ 5 bottle of olive oil.
Dorothy was widowed in 2008 when her husband Roland died.
Edward’s prof i le on the website has since disappeared.
He said: “Dorothy had a small inheritance and for benefits reasons or whatever she felt she had to spend it quickly.
“She would buy things as a gift and later you would find out you owed her the money. It was me who paid for Chips and I’ve no idea what she is talking about, going on about a caravan. It might be the case that she paid for more stuff but I bought one of the watches and the other one was definitely a gift from her.
“I paid my share of the cruise but wish I hadn’t. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.
“Putting together this long list tells you a lot about Dorothy.
“Since we went our separate ways, she’s been telling people online I’m some sort of conman. Anyone who knows me knows that’s not the case.
“I’m no longer on Plenty of Fish because she was trying to turn people against me.”
