I was living on a non-mil related VA disability pension (survival rations) and had no hope of finding an American woman (desirable) willing to live this way. I was so demoralized that when a girl on the net asked "aren't you tired of looking" she snagged me. But her wealth kept increasing (very complex story) to a maximum of $20,000,000. I was so desperate to get out of my poverty and lonely rut that I allowed myself to be taken by this scam.
Instead of a better life, I now have it much worse. The debts are almost paid back, but because I am paid by the government / VA they decided that I needed a fiduciary and a payee. I will add communication sample with my first payee at the end of this post. It was rough, but I always paid my bills even when I was being scammed. But it is Hell with somebody else's hand in your pocket. Yes I was scammed, but they won't let me live it down, plus paying my bills is harder because the payee costs me money.
I am grateful for the pension, but want to earn enough in the few years left to work to retire in the middle class and tell the VA they can keep the pension. As for the hospital, I appreciated the cancer cure and all the rest of my cures. But I do not appreciate the shrinks who's job it was to just cure my psychological pains and vertigo, not to get involved in my personal business like a monkey on my back. They actually tested me to see if I could count out $1.38 in change...stupid idiots. How did I survive all these years if I couldn't make change.
So, you see I have red-tape and bureaucracy to begin with. Now I will paste a copy of a letter asking for help concerning my fiancee. She wants to work PT and needs to to earn Social Security when she is my age. I don't trust a VA widow's pension to be enough....
Letter:
I can't recall which site we were on (OnePoliticalPlaza / Politicsology), but you wrote that you could help us with this issue. My overseas fiancee will come on her H1B visa (working-get green card) in a couple of months. We must then wait 9 months for a K1 visa to marry. During this 9 months she can work and earn as she pleases and build a little savings for us. I was scammed hard out of my savings, life insurance and still have some loan debt. So, she is only 35 and wants to work PT after we marry. We estimate $800 a month she would earn. Just a ballpark guess her medical insurance plus my dental and her doctor visits will cost $200 a month. That leaves $600 profit WHICH THE VA WILL SUBTRACT from my non-mil disability pension. So in effect she would work for just medical expenses OR in effect 1/4 of minimum wage.
Legally I can qualify for my pension and own a house (does my old mobile home count as a house?), a car and $80,000 savings. But the VA won't let us earn these things and if she works and/or goes to school, we will need a second car. She can't earn it working for NOTHING.
I know we will get a bonus to my pension for her as my dependent. The paper telling how much is out in my car now. I don't mind loosing the bonus, but I don't want the VA to subtract from my basic pension. $800 a month is about $10,000 a year and better than the bonus. Thank you Jim
You can see that the government is forcing us to live in sin (unmarried), But I am a Latter Day Saint convert. They are strict and the only ones who can talk me down from going violent against the above bureaucrats. I only care about my soul, life is no issue. I have been injected and knocked out before and the only difference on death row is you don't wake up.
Here is the conversation between me and my first payee...
Hello Julia,
FYI I found these messages in my files. So you know how bad it was before I got you as my payee. I am thinking of publishing this. I hope I get a payee as good as you, or none at all when Regions Trust stops handling VA accounts.
I believe that Spradling has been fired. I hope she experiences the long-term unemployment which made me sick. It will teach her some respect, if not for Vets, then for her elders.
By the way, my disability was stress related. This garbage really helps. The phone number to the local VA is 866 289 3300 toll free. The doctor who put me on the payee is Dr. Brown who violated her Hippocratic oath and I thus got a new doctor who can lift the payee off of my shoulders if she will just do it. The scam and brainwashing is over, finished, Kaput! If you call ask for building 8, or the doctors directly or best Dr. McClutchen the head of the department who knows me well from when she was my doctor.
This is my home and car which was mostly paid for out of my inheritance...

It is NOT my duty to inform you of every aspect of your account. My duty is to see to it that the bills on your APPROVED budget sheet are paid. Any items not on this list is not my responsiblity and must be approved by the VA no matter how slow that process is.
Also please be advised that insurance bill WAS NOT approved by Michael as of yet, his email consisted of questions in regards to there being enough funds to pay it. If you are nearing the due date by all means pay it now, as it could be several more weeks before final approval or denial is secured.

Please in the future when someone drops the ball, inform me in a timely manner. I cannot do anything if I do not know. This matter could have been handled last week and given me time to mail the insurance bill to you. As it stands, I will now have to call the company and plead for a few days grace. I need that time to snail mail it to you and for you to pay it.
Oh, I just looked and it is not due on the 8th as I was told on the phone. We have until the 12th of February. Still I need to know if you will accept a FAX of the bill. Also, if Mike just says to take it out of my living allowance, it is better to leave my allowance as is and let me pay it out of the allowance.

I was fighting more than one scam at a time. With the most appreciated help of a European Intelligence source, the following and more were proven fake or doctored or forged...
