An ageing Brit looking for love has become an accidental star in the Dominican Republic after the internet girlfriend he flew out to meet turned her back on him - because he is penniless.
Struggling mum-of-four Wilfa Soto Peguero claimed she agreed to get to know middle-aged Glyn Thomas Bailey in person after he offered to help her raise her children.
But she claims when she went to pick him up at the airport he had no ticket back home and no money.Wilfa ended up turning herself - and Glyn - into the most talked-about couple in the Caribbean nation after recording a social media video pleading for someone to take him off her hands because she didn’t have the money to feed him.
News of the doomed love affair broke after Wilfa posted a sob-story video online revealing how she could no longer maintain Glyn and begging for help to send him back to Britain after a Caribbean stay thought to have last for several weeks.
Revealing she agreed to meet him after a six-month Internet affair using Google Translate. In their chats, she says he admitted he wasn’t wealthy but promised to help her raise her children, including two young daughters still living with her.
“I asked him to send me money so I could go and fetch him from the airport and he never sent me anything.
“But as he was coming to meet me I couldn’t just abandon him like he was a nobody so I decided to borrow money to go to the airport. “Later when I checked his ticket I realised he’d come with the intention of staying here and I can’t look after him.
“I have explained it to him a thousand ways. If I had my own house I’d let him stay but I don’t.” “I’ve got to look after him because he hasn’t got any money.“I’ve got my heart and I’m not going to refuse him food when he’s not giving me any money but I can’t look after him.” “I wasn’t looking for a man for money. We simply got to know each chatting over the Internet.“I’ve been left with a debt of £240 I borrowed to go and pick him up at the Airport.
She also claimed she had already been visited by British diplomats, who were last night said to be assisting him.
