I met a married man online now his wife is threatening me
posted 9th Oct
I didnt know he was married when we first started talking. Our relationship started off as just tweeting each other on twitter, RTing each other's tweets. Eventually we started skyping. First it started off innocently with us just eating together on skype or choosing a movie and watching tv and then gradually it became more risque, starting with my boobs and then becoming full on naked. He never would get naked with me which should have put up red flags for me but I just thought it was normal for guys to not want to show off.
Then he started buying me things and sending it in the mail. Things he wanted me to wear for him like lingerie and dresses stuff like that. He would send me money with it.
He gave me his credit card information and at first I was weary of using it but after awhile I started using it to buy things online.
It became that point in our relationship where he wanted to meet me. My kids were spending the weekend with their grandma so I decided it was a perfect time to meet him. He told me to book myself a flight and a hotel with his credit card. I did. Flew to his city, caught a taxi to my hotel and he came to my room on friday night. We ordered room service and spent that whole night just making love. We didn't leave the hotel and that also should have put up red flags for me but it didn't. I just thought he wanted me all to himself.
So a few weeks after that, everything was going great. Our relationship was still thriving when I received an e-mail from his wife. She basically told me that she and her husband, my online boyfriend, had been together for 8 years, had 2 kids. She worked a full time job and paid all the bills. He didn't work but he told me that he did. She said she found out about me from the credit card bill. She went to pay for groceries and couldn't. She requested for the bill and it showed the flight and hotel on it.
I was so embarrassed.
So now fast forward to last week, the woman wants me to pay the credit card bill. She told me her husband told her that he told me I could only buy ONE thing with the credit card and never to use it again, that I was the one who surprised him and he didn't give me permission to book a flight or a hotel. She's e-mailing me about getting her lawyers on the case. Does she have a case? I don't have a job or any money of my own and I swear he gave me permission to use the card.

No she doesn't. He gave you his info and told you to use the card. He's the person responsible and he should be getting a job to pay it back. She just wants to blame someone and blaming you is easier than the person she lives with.

That's a hard one.. it's all he said/she said, unfortunately. The bad thing is, he could claim you stole the credit card information... Do you have any of the emails etc? xo

It could technically be credit card fraud. you used a card that wasn't in your name.

Sucky situation.. I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a case though. Do you have e-mails/texts/letters from him giving you his information?
quoteposted 9th Oct
I dont think she has a case but weirder things have happened.
quoteposted 9th Oct
unless you have him saying it in writing, your kinda screwed.
What you did can be classified as fraud.

Keep records of everything you guys spoke about. He told you that you could use the card, which I'm assuming he was an authorized user on.

Do you have anything in writing from him? All I can say is don't pay her bill. Consult an attorney. Make her take you to court.
quoteposted 9th Oct
I don't think you could be held responsible, unless she has tangible proof, like an email from you acknowledging that you weren't authorized to use the card more than once.
Be careful in the future mamma! That is so crummy... all the way around. What an ass he is.

If you have proof he have you permission to use it, I'd think you're in the clear. Especially since he gave you all the info.
quoteposted 9th Oct
I think she doesnt have a case against you, because you were misled, but she could take the husband to court if she wanted.

No proof. He told me on webcam and I wrote it down from there and I've been looking through my texts and e-mails and DMs from twitter trying to find where he told me to use the card to get the flight but haven't had any luck yet. I don't know IF it's enough proof that he texted me during the flight to find out if everything was on time. Maybe that's proof that he knew I was coming and it wasn't a surprise?

You need to collect as much evidence as you can showing he gave you permission.
