And then just sort of gradually over the course of the six hours, it just suddenly occurred to me that his

on him and the whole thing was some ginormous and he was being scammed by his fiance and very unfortunately for them they tried to execute the scam while he had me in the cab and he never had anyone in his cab so now he had me in his cab and they were trying to do some fraud on him and i was able to they had some wheat factory in wales united kingdom that they had some british high court document saying that he was entitled to if he paid off the lien on it there was some long complicated story

that was totally flagrantly false and i kind of felt like i had a moral obligation to him to break the news to him on the other hand we were in the middle of nowhere in nevada and it was clearly a very important part of his personality that this was so um so i kind of waited until we got close and said is it possible that your fiancee is being scammed by these people and you know sort of

raise the notion of scamming.

And he was willing to intellectually entertain the possibility.

And then we got a bit closer.

Is it possible that you are yourself being scammed by your fiancé?

And then he was like, no, no, no, it can't be.

And he had all these documents to show that it was all legit.

And they were just sort of, to somebody from a British legal background, sort of transparent forgeries.

And I mean, he did eventually accept it and was just crying on my shoulder in some

truck stop.

It was quite, you know, a high pathos moment.

And then said this happened before, and it turned out he'd previously been scammed in the same way

or a similar way, through somebody he'd met through the same Match.com profile.

That was his lucky profile because, you know, people kept messaging him through it.

So we, you know, we talked through that and worked through that.

And, like, I felt in some ways I'd been his guardian angel.

But, you know, he'd also been my guardian angel and picked me up in the middle of the desert.

So there was some great exchange there.
