to answer your question: no. not face to face. which is why i wrote that there IS a scam possibility, and i am well aware of that. BUT: what if it´s true? and for that i do what i have to and advise her how to get out best.

Before doing anything: you should be able to get the IP address off of the email that was sent.

If she entered into the US from another country, her passport was scanned and she had to list where she was staying. If she was planning on staying with this person, she had to list the address.

It makes no sense that she's in so much danger and the choice would be to send an email to someone half way around the world.

So now you had phone conversations with her, where originally you said you she was your wife's "online friend." Not to mention you said the only phone was the imaginary master's mobile.

now tell me which regulation says you can´t talk with an online friend on the phone, because then he is no online friend anymore.

and you still did not get the story. you should read all of it before you criticise it.
first: friend, online & telephone, europe.
then: she goes to new york couple of days ago, only one short online contact while the guy was away, he took her phone, tickets and bank card. no phone in the house, the guy has a mobile.

i hope this is put simple enough now even for you.

Call her bluff and tell her you have her IP address and have reported it to the world wide authorities and they are putting a trace on it!!

She's playing out a fantasy and your just one of the needed props. Tomorrow she will be sold and in a week or so she will contact you again with a continuation of her saga. People with histrionic type personalities do this sort of shit and they have a tendency to do it well because they have story telling down to a fine art. [8|]

I commend you for your compassion and your wanting to do something "just in case" its not a scam. So, on the off chance that the story is legit, here is what you do.

Contact the FBI, Interpol, and the equivalent agency in her home country with all the particulars and details you have, including the originating IP address of the email sent to your wife. If the communication was over IM rather than email, then give the police the exact time and the IDs of all parties along with your IP address and ISP information. Both the ISP and the IM host will have full records of the connection, and from the both of those the authorities should be able to locate the person.

Then relax, open a bottle of wine and enjoy your evening knowing that you have done everything humanly possible to help.

thank you. had contact to her yesterday, guy was out for an hour. gave her all the information. just in case.
she calmed down and is into that idea of getting auctioned now... ok, if she wants that.
told me she´s going to a place with about 30 bidders and 2-3 other slaves. as i said... adrenaline.
she still does not have the address, but his name and gave it to me just in case.
not a very common name, quick search gave only 2 in new york ( plus new york state ) and none in jersey.
if she´s a storyteller, story is extremely good.

But if it will make you feel better, give me the IP address of the computer that she's writing to you from (or better yet, give me the name of the guy who is holding her hostage, since you supposedly have that). I live in NY. I'll go rescue her right now.

matter is fixed, gave her the infos and told her how to leave.
she knows now, wants to stay anyway, so frankly i don´t care anymore.
if she does not leave now and something happens, there is nothing anybody but her can do about it.
