After suffering scam

I did a bit of research on the address and found 150 Hills Road to be an internet cafe called "Club Cafe." But since I'm not a professional not sure if I did the search correctly.

In late November he told me that both he and his daughter went on a weekend trip to Glasgow. After their return they contacted the H1N1 virus and Jessica was taken to the hospital. Apparently she was born with congenital heart disease and the H1N1 virus made her very sick. She is at RACH (Royal Affirmity Children's Hospital). Sometime in December he told me Jessica needed a second surgery and asked me to send him $8,500. Thankfully I caught onto him after the iphone incident and told him I had no money and couldn't help him.

We continue to communicate. Jessica is still in the hospital, supposedly on a ventilator. Recently I asked him to send me the iphone back since he has never used it. He said he could never use it because it stated “no service.” I confirmed with AT&T that the phone was never used. He agreed to send me the phone, but ever since then, he became distant and just recently told me he's been very sick and hasn't been in the mood to chat. In my opinion he's using this as an excuse to disappear and not return the iphone.

Interestingly enough, I'm not really concerned about the iphone. I just want to know the truth. My gut tells me he is a scammer although he doesn't fit the “normal” scammer profile that I've read about on the internet. He is very cultured, professional and well-spoken/written. His pictures (5 in total) are very normal looking. He is definitely an educated individual, which makes it harder to detect.
