Has anyone experienced getting scammed with a fake job offer and used for sexual relationship by an employer?

...See more Hi, I am a newbie on this website and I am feeling a little desperate. I'm an English teacher in Turkey and I had applied for a personal assistant of a CEO job in Belgium because I have always felt closer to Western culture. I got selected after the video job interview and invited to the training in Belgium but I was unable to attend due to the visa problems. Then with the suggestion of the recruiter, I contacted the CEO and explained the situation. He said he will come to Turkey for business trip and we met in a hotel when he arrived here. We stayed together in the same room for 3 days. We had sexual relationship as he told me he was looking for open minded assistant. I accepted because he was sponsoring the working visa. He said he had already informed the company to start the process and prepare the documents but after he left for his country, I couldn't hear from him or the company until last week. I received a fake death news of the CEO by the recruiter. However, I learned that he was actually alive with my trustable sources. He talked to me as if he was an employee of the company, insulted and humiliated me, threatened me. He knew private stuff he shouldn't have known so it was him. I cried due to the fake death news, I sold my necessary stuff at home to meet the expenses for moving as he spoke very certain. I told everyone including my family, my headmaster, my colleagues that I was hired. I had to avoid them for two months just to prevent them from asking anything about the process. I have a husband( he knows and approves this) and kids, my psychology is terrible and I neglected my own kids. I'm feeling so embarrassed, inadequate, worthless just like an unnecessary object. He also wasted my time as he prevented me from applying other jobs. He wasted a little of my money for my own preparation and travels. Turkish lawyers speak negative about this but I can't accept it. I'm hurt and I want to ask you, is it really nothing to do after getting hurt while he is busy with finding other victims and enjoying himself by using them just because he is not a Turkish citizen? This is against human rights, women rights and I need your support and advice so much.
