Based on what I have read in news, sickness of family member, overwhelming debts and troubles from loan sharks are the reasons scammers give when they are in trouble and get money. Out of the reason, sickness is the one that is the hardest for people to refuse if they are quasi dating.
It is also possible that the real Manoj has no idea his identity is being stolen.
I watched this documentary where this guy was shocked to discover that his profile pic was being used by scammers to lure many women. He found out when one woman tracked him down and he had no clue who she was or their romance story she was referring to.
To his horror, he found there were many women who had filed case against him under different names (same pic) and he then removed his picture from facebook. This was before FB would do privacy protection on the pictures.
So yea, we have to be very careful about what we are uploading online. It is actually very easy for people to steal bits of info about us and then use it for their own purposes!
