Woman gets scammed for $170K by man posing as doctor online
Nobody wants to be alone. That is more than a line from an Usher song, that’s a fact of life. The truth of the matter is everybody wants to be with somebody. As a result, people do a lot of unusual things in the name of love. This was the driving force that left a Virginia woman named Cassandra Drummond the odd woman out. In Drummond’s pursuit of love, she joined an online dating website, where she thought she met a doctor.
Instead, Cassandra Drummond became the latest in a long list of women who got scammed. Ever since the pandemic, there have been several women reporting being scammed on dating sites. Despite the uptick in reports, women continue to fall prey to these kinds of things. As a result, there is an increase in news coverage on this type of thing. However, surely Cassandra Drummond did not expect to be the woman warning other ladies about this, on the news.
Cassandra Drummond joined an online dating site in order to find someone new. She believed she found this person in the form of a doctor named Andrew Logan. Drummond was dating this man, online, and he eventually made off with $170,000 of her money. When she gave him this money, she thought she was going to get it back. Prior to this, Drummond says she was not living paycheck to paycheck, but now she is, and that all of this “really hurts.”
