Anyway, on with the saga... To save time here is a train of emails all having to do with the new problem that has arose. And they are in reverse order...

Dear Inessa,
That is okay, I understand the mouth thing, your dad says sometimes I tell too mmuch...LOL. But I do like surprises because otherwise I think too much about what will happen and not letting things happen. I don't know if that makes sense...haha. So, it is 7 days for you of waiting and 9 days for me. I have a job interview this afternoon for a position as a social worker (what I got my degree in) and I am nervous.
Thank you for getting the money back to me when you can, just let me know the MTCN so I can pick it up and put it back in my OMG savings account!
Love, Debi

I thought this was a weird turn of events but okay, I figured everything was finally working out until....
July 13, 2010
After a few intense phone calls of course in the early morning hours, I hear the anguish in my lovers voice to say he can't bear to not be with me another minute and is short some of the money to get the dental chairs purchased and how I am a problem solver and can figure out how to get the rest of the funds.

My bank by this time is tired of seeing me but I max out my credit card (thankfully it has a low limit), clean out what I can afford from my savings and (this is the part that nearly did me in) took money from a friend who offered it to help out...I am a proud and independent person and I am nothing but responsible for myself and my own messes. Armed with my wire transfer information I find my small credit union has to have a sponser bank in Spain in order to complete this transfer and ...it can take up to 10 days. I email Tony the bad news.
Email responses for this part are as follows:
Thank you.When you are done kindly email me a scan copy of the transaction slip
Love you and see you in 7 days
Your baby who can't wait to be with you
Tony

Okay, got it. Can I make 2 separate wire transfers?
The funny part of this, if we can find the humor, is that I was nervous and stressed getting the money together but once I got it sent I felt a calm, I guess it was because I felt I had fixed a problem or completed a task.
By now I was sending him songs everyday that fit whatever new situation "we" were facing, today's song was:

Tony
He is gooood! And before I received the next email, he called just to say he loved me very much...another set up, I think so...
SOS(MY DAD)
Debbie you need to call my dad ASAP and talk to him before he does something stupid
Mr Peter Milk and Jonathan Lam scammed him,both of them have been sacked 2 months
back from the dental chair company.He sent me an email instructing me to meet with you immediately after my exams and take you to Turku,Finland so we share his assets, you are part of his WILL
Please please call him i am so scared,he wont take my calls
and he is not responding to my emails
Inessa
Really she sends this in an email, she has my phone numbers and I remind her of this before I can get in touch with Daddy.
Here are a few snippets of actual chats because by this time I was saving them:
This was our chat 2 nights before I got that email from Inessa the Other Scammer
debimarzoline: Hi Baby...I have missed you so...
Tony Alves: my eternal love i have missed you more
debimarzoline: Thank you for the message this morning though, It got me through my interview this afternoon.
Tony Alves: hmmmmmmmmmm i am glad it got you tru your interview
Tony Alves: how do you mean by this statement sweetheart : I feel like I have a lot of changes coming my way, it is a little disconcerting.
debimarzoline: All the jobs and having you....I have just been plodding along for so long and I have to get used to having all these chages
debimarzoline: changes.
debimarzoline: I feel like I have been doing the exact same thing for so long, I am not complaining so much as observing.
debimarzoline: It is my time to enjoy life at last, I think.
Tony Alves: absolutely it is a good change
debimarzoline: Oh yes
debimarzoline: With the job I interviewed for today, I have to take a cut in pay and be on call 2 weeks every 6 months.
debimarzoline: What else do you think b/c there is the other job that is a reasonable amount more but won't be available until the end of August...maybe
debimarzoline: Too many decisions...ahhhh
Tony Alves: 1. i like theg one you will be working in the same building cos you will get to be seeing your collegeus from the other department
Tony Alves: the one they said you have to take a pay cut... is unacceptable
Tony Alves: just forget about that
Tony Alves: \the other one that their is a pay rise that one is good
Tony Alves: so you will have to choose between that one and the one in the same building with your present Job
debimarzoline: Oh I forgot the part that the one with the pay cut is only for a year then it auto progresses to ahigher grade...but I would have to wait a year.
debimarzoline: But I think you are right.
debimarzoline: I really just want to be on vacation with you and forget all of this...
debimarzoline: That is what I want.
Tony Alves: same here babes
Tony Alves: and we shall surely fly away toegther
Tony Alves: i cant wait to show you how much i love you
debimarzoline: You always do just by being you...
debimarzoline: 8/9 (this is the number of days until Tony is here, he is one day ahead of me in "Iran")
debimarzoline: We are in single digits, can you believe it?
Tony Alves: oh yes it excites me cos now i willhave the opportunity to spoil you and how yuou love
debimarzoline: Don't spoil me too much I don't want to be a brat...
Tony Alves: i want to spoil you and you will be my brat... i can handle you
debimarzoline: Lol...you are silly and goofy and I love it.
Tony Alves: i love you so much... i can only show you
debimarzoline: I will spoil you with my love then, it is all I have to give.
debimarzoline: But it is priceless
Tony Alves: hmmmmmmmmmmmmm i know
Tony Alves: we can talk about the chair problem now
debimarzoline: Thanks...
debimarzoline: So?
Tony Alves: my uncle was able to get 20,000 EURO from a private lender, which is $25k
debimarzoline: Private lender, is that like the mob?
Tony Alves: hahahah not mafia mob sweetheart lol
Tony Alves: they have my car
Tony Alves: as soon as i make the money available with interest they will give my car back
debimarzoline: Loan shark?
debimarzoline: What is the interest?
debimarzoline: rate
Tony Alves: dont worry about the interest if i tell you,you will scream lol
debimarzoline: Probably...
debimarzoline: Man, that sucks....damn Iranians
Tony Alves: its ok
Tony Alves: sometimes challenges do come
Tony Alves: i have $10,000
Tony Alves: which makes everything $30,000
debimarzoline: Is that enough?
Tony Alves: no i still need $20,000
Tony Alves: dont worry i am working on somethinhg
Tony Alves: today i should have the rest money
debimarzoline: Wow, baby that is scary
Tony Alves: what is scary sweetheart?
debimarzoline: This whole deal, they would just have to kill me cuz I couldn't do it.
debimarzoline: It would be like, white flag, I give up
Tony Alves: lol
Tony Alves: you will do it cos the oney you are being paid is much
Tony Alves: i have $170k left with them
Tony Alves: so after everything and paying staff i will have around $90k to take home
debimarzoline: If they pay you, how much do you trust them?
debimarzoline: Did you get a good nights sleep finally?
Tony Alves: yes i did my love after my uncle was able to get that money i was so so so so happy
Tony Alves: cos i know i will be with you for sure
debimarzoline: Don't even tell me you were doubting...
Tony Alves: i was scared not doubting
debimarzoline: I can't wait to someday meet your uncle..
Tony Alves: cos i cant ask you to borrow $50,000 and send over
Tony Alves: so i was scared
debimarzoline: Don't be scared I would still be here...what would you have a Mexican stand off?
debimarzoline: Yeah, $50K would not be in my power
Tony Alves: i am glad it didnt come to that my love
Tony Alves: i cant wiat for that first kiss (this was a recurring theme he would bring up, the first kiss when we finally met)
debimarzoline: Besides the chair snafu, what else needs to be done?
debimarzoline: Or is that the only thing holding you up?

So from this you can get a feel for how our chats progressed...back to some emails, keep in mind everything is coming to a head at this point.
Received this on July 19, 2010
My Dear Debbie
I have spent my life waiting ... not living, nor loving, but waiting. Waiting for the one that would inspire me to be all I can be, to live up to every expectation, to reach every goal, to know that I may fail sometime but I will never be alone or waiting again. You brought to my cold empty heart the reason to live and to love with a passion only you could bring. Your acceptance and love have soothed the aching in my empty heart and now I am at peace with myself and the world around me. I know that 27th is 7days from today, I will come to you never to wait anymore. I love you with every ounce of my being ... "Yours is the first name I call and the last name I will ever whisper."
Good morning,do have a wonderful day
Yours in love 4ever
Tony
Again, this is one of those scammer 101 form letters that he has edited for "our" purpose. With all of the stress going on how can someone even think like this...?
This is the chat we had the night I got the Inessa email:
debimarzoline: Baby....
debimarzoline: How are you holding up?
Tony Alves: my love
debimarzoline: Yes...
debimarzoline: How are you holding up?
Tony Alves: hold on my love give me 10 mins
debimarzoline: sure.
Tony Alves: sweetheart am sorry am on the phone
debimarzoline: Its okay, I know you are working on the situation.
debimarzoline: And I am patiently waiting, my love.
Tony Alves: hold on my love
debimarzoline: Holding...
Tony Alves:
debimarzoline: Am I still holding?
Tony Alves: i am sorri
Tony Alves: will be with you in 15 mins
debimarzoline: Baby, it is fine, I am amusing myself.
Tony Alves: hey honey i love you
debimarzoline: Hey, baby, I love you too
debimarzoline: You better not be talking to another woman...
Tony Alves: hahahahaha never
Tony Alves: how can you even think of that
Tony Alves: it has to do with the chairs
Tony Alves: was talikng with my client
debimarzoline: I know baby, just trying to keep it light
debimarzoline: It has been too heavy lately
debimarzoline: This has been the week from hell for us and a lot of other people.
debimarzoline: Are you still talking?
Tony Alves: i told them to hold that i am keeping my wife waiting
debimarzoline: Awww you are so sweet.
Tony Alves: hmmmm no you are,for given me strength hope
debimarzoline: Honey, as long as we are breathing there is hope...don't forget that.
Tony Alves: thank you and i am sorry for freaking out
debimarzoline: Yeah, that was a nice email to see first thing this morning
debimarzoline: I am not going to
debimarzoline: to Turku, unless you take me
debimarzoline: You should read my email to you.
Tony Alves: ok i will read it later my love
Tony Alves: i am sorry and yes i will be the one to take you to Turku
Tony Alves: iam fixing this
Tony Alves: in another 7 days all this will be over
Tony Alves: just hold
Tony Alves: and m making it right
debimarzoline: I know, I have the utmost faith in you as a businessman
debimarzoline: I didn't know I could love someone so much that I haven't touched yet.
Tony Alves: same here,my heartr siezed for few minutes when i learnt i was scammed,not because of the money that was lost but because of you
Tony Alves: because i will be delayed
Tony Alves: secondly i wont be seeing you when i wanted tgo
Tony Alves: and thirdly i dont wnat you to see me incapable of taking care of challenges
Tony Alves: and fourthly so that you wont see me as some scammer either
debimarzoline: Oh, Baby, I would love you no matter what. God gave you to me,
debimarzoline: You and I are bigger than these petty problems, you will see.
debimarzoline: I know you are more than capable of taking care of business.
Tony Alves: thank you and i am fixing it
debimarzoline: 11 days.
debimarzoline: We have gotten even closer during hell week and it will be better for us all the way around.
Tony Alves: ok my love
Tony Alves: i will email you confirmation of my flight later my love
debimarzoline: Okay, I may take a trip up to Tahoe this weekend to reschedule the ressie
Tony Alves: ok my love please do and i am sorry for all the troubles
debimarzoline: You will still be here in the foreseeable future that is all I need.
debimarzoline: Are you back to yourseld? I don't need to worry about your state of mind?
debimarzoline: All I wanted to do was bolt from work today.
debimarzoline: It should be the same flight right?
Tony Alves: i will be with you 27th and not forseable future God
Tony Alves: yes it will be
debimarzoline: Don't get testy with me....
debimarzoline: We have been riding the emotional roller coaster all week
debimarzoline: How is Inessa doing?
Tony Alves: she has taking the bull in the horn,she wants me out of here before she can relax
debimarzoline: I feel her. Tell her to send me a happy email once in awhile, not one talking about wills
Tony Alves: ok i will
And we are now winding down because I am about as broke as I want to get, stressed out, not eating , not sleeping and I think my hair is falling out.
More interesting chats (the last ones) and emails in my next post.
This makes me so sad to read.... I hope these people burn in hell... forever..
