Wow, that's a huge red flag. Asking you for $1,000 to come to America doesn't sound right at all. I'm really glad you stopped and thought about it before sending anything. Can I ask you something? Have you been sending him money before, or was this the first time he asked? And please, if he's using my name or pretending to be me, I would strongly encourage you to block him right now. Anyone impersonating someone else and asking for money is not being honest with you
