Just wanted people to know be careful of a man on Strava by the name of Micheal Sepulveda, also goes by Robert Sepulveda on facebook and messenger. This is nothing more than a romance scam. He claims to be in the military and will give you a sob story about how he shouldn’t be messaging you because he’ll get into big trouble if he’s found out. Also claims how lost his parents in tragic accident and his wife cheated on him and left his 2 kids with him, none of this is true. I didn’t have a good feeling about this situation, because he professed his love shortly into messaging, so l decided to google his name and realized that his image had been stolen and also there is YouTube videos on the real Robert Sepulveda talking about how his image had been stolen.
