Nigerian Dating Scam - I've been there

by Catherine
(Sheffield, UK)

I am a widow and after just over two years my friends told me to try internet dating. As I was in my 40's I thought I would join a site for over 40-plus dating which you pay a subscription for and I thought would be safe.


I started chatting to a guy who said he was english born but his father was american. He was working for the united nations as an orthapedic surgeon which I thought was a bit of a story but I went along with it.

We were chatting for a few weeks and he suggested going onto messenger as it would save money on subscriptions. He told me things like he was also a widower and told me about his wife etc. This went on for 3 months.

I gave him my mobile and he rang me each evening and we would chat for 5 or 10 mins at a cost to him not me. He even rang me when I was on holiday in Spain. When I came back we chatted for another couple of weeks and then he asked me for some money so that he could home and we could be together.

I was so gullible for the love but as soon as he asked me for money I cut him off completely. The best advice I can give you is if anyone asks for money or your bank details to transfer money into - cut them off totally and report them to the site you originally met on.

I also did some checking on other sites and also facebook and reported him on each site in a hope that nobody else can be conned by him. But I will say if they sound too good to be true cut them off and don't even say anything to them just get rid of them as soon as possible for the sake of your heart and in a lot of circumstances your pocket.

They pretend to be soldiers, working in Pakistan and also in jobs that will pull at your heart strings to make you fall for them as soon as possible.

Please take this warning and be very careful and forget about how you feel when you find out, and get them reported to whoever you can.

But I let him go on for a day...and then blocked him. I was thinking of turning the tables on him and asking him for money!! Lol!!

by: Anonymous

He found me from a comment I made on Twitter now X.

Similar story: a surgeon on contract in Damascus, from South Carolina, one son in boarding school, wife and daughter died in a car crash. Very charming and seemingly humble, I have lived in Europe; my late husband spoke with an accent but wrote the proper grammar.

I called him out, 'You write with an accent. You are a doctor. I think you should know better. He came back with a plausible reason. He is on X, and a surgical mask covers his face. Coming home soon and wants to meet me in person.

Red flags popped up, and I called him out to catch him. He is good, smooth, caring, and humble. I tried finding him on professional sites, but nothing came up. He asked for nothing yet.

Like many women here, I believed in people until proven wrong. MY finding this site has provided that lesson.

Blocking. And Next, how and where to report? Can it be anonymously?

by: Anonymous

This guy I met in dating app Aisle, claimed to be from UK and studied in King's College London but native Indian named Aadhik.

We started talking on WhatsApp when he told that his mother deceased when he was 7 and dad working in UK in a bearing company.

He was posted in Ukraine for a 2 years program treating soldiers. This story was enough for a red flag but I wanted to check on it on what he does.

He told that he never visited India but then his photos were from a Cafe in Delhi. I found that out with Google lens option. When I confronted it to him he answered 'LOL, I mean I never had a vacation in India or visited as such but was there for business trip'.

He called once but was not ready for a video call. Reason given military base doesn't allow WhatsApp calls. He talked or tried to talk in British accent.

Ultimately he asked to move to Google chat within 3 days of talking on WhatsApp.

That's when I decided to block him out.
I did not end up being exploited. Thankfully.

I would say to all, beware. You are strong. Don't be fooled emotionally. World has cruelty. Save yourself.

Don't open up to strangers.

Got a simple 'Hello' this evening on Instagram. Claims he's 43, he follows over 7,000 people, has 20 posts. Had a look at Facebook, and found 5 different accounts, which was red flag no. 1.

I said his English was good, he claims to be a Parisian. I looked in each of his profiles, some of his pics were liked by numerous Nigerian/African descent.

He is looking for 'a sincere and honest woman, and distance is no problem for him'. He mentioned sincere and honest quite a few times...call me cynical...I wondered why he would want someone 10 years his senior...and if you see his pictures, and I was him, I'd probably go younger than me.

Do the homework, like in earlier posts, it's too good to be true.

I've stopped following him, taken my profile off his account, and blocked his messages now.

They prey on the lonely and vulnerable, I maybe both, but I'm also not stupid. I've always been wary of chats on social networks.

Stay safe ladies, stay secure and stay strong!

Hi, Just to add more info. If indeed he was a real gemologist he could be verified by the GIA registry. GIA = Gemology Institute of America, which is global.

If he owns/rents all those properties there is no reason to ask for any type of gift, phone or other cards.

He would have lots of money to purchase them. These scammers go to all lengths to take every penny you have and them some. Unfortunately Tinder will do nothing about it. They don't care.

We must protect ourselves from these parasites who thrive off lonely people.

Be well. Be safe.

Met Andre Hernandez who said he was a gemologist, parents German and he was born in Sheffield however his accent did not match. Had houses in Melbourne U/S and had just sealed his contract for an apartment in Monaco.

Having done a little social media searching nothing was found for this Gemologist. He also states he has the state of the art phone. Vertu Signature unable to trace calls, so unable to facetime.

He is supposedly residing in Bristol so a few days later he informed me he has just sealed a contract for a new mine in Brazil so he would be off. So when he arrived in Brazil he messaged me he wanted €200 for an ITune Card because without it he was not able to work.

This went on for a couple of days. I know of these scams BUT I just want to highlight some gullible person might be taken in with this man’s good looks as it was all a fake and false identity.

TINDER must do more to protect.

He claimed they both died in an accident and he was also a single father. Never got to the point of asking for anything but I felt uneasy about the whole thing.

by: Anonymous

Just wanted to respond to comments by the person who wrote "Another one.." and all of you other dear women out there. She is so right! So many of these scammers have exactly the same story, give or take a few details.

Nowadays I can see them coming from a mile away.... Also, their FB page or other social networks almost always has photos of flowers, hearts, and dogs. Sometimes they post philosophical sayings, too. T

hey do all of this to make themselves look sensitive and romantic, trying to appeal to women. To me, it's all a bunch of b.s.

Click on their "friends" tab and you will find that they either have no "friends" or their friends are in Nigeria or Gambia.

Don't believe them for an instant!

Block them! Stay safe.

Here's another one for you girls! Dan Rodgers. Befriended me on Facebook and I accepted because we had a friend in common. Turns out my friend has no idea who he is. This guy told me he is an orthopedic surgeon working in Yemen but his home is in Los Angeles, CA.

He said his wife died in a car accident 6 years ago and his 17 year old son is in boarding school and has a caretaker. Seriously?? Can you think of a better story? They all use the same one!!

Anyway, like I said, he is on Facebook under the name Dan Rodgers. Beware!!!

I had my fun with him for a couple of days because I knew the whole time he was a scammer, and then I blocked him. I just don't understand how women fall for this kind of stuff, please!!!

They always come with new names. Ericson Davis is on Facebook trying to scam single older women. If they work in the oil fields or have to travel because they just gained a new contract, more than likely it's a scammer.

I know people are lonely, but try to think rationally rather than emotionally. Just remember, don't give anyone money. The minute they start talking about money woes, lose them in the wind.

If you see someone named Adams Powell or George Robert...they are the same man. I talked with George Robert on Facebook for about two months. After gaining my trust and feelings, he began begging me to buy a $500 Steam card.

I refused repeatedly and finally blocked him on Facebook. If you search for Adams Powell, this is the same man I been chatting with. Never any phone calls, only chatting.

He is really a 17yr old Nigerian. He confessed to me under the George Robert profile. I reported it to Facebook but they did nothing. Adams Powell profile is also on Plenty of Fish. I reported his profile also.

If they look good and has a professional job title...they probably are scammers

We found exactly the same picture but, same background, same finger holding the passport, same numbers. The only difference was the picture and few small details. I wish I could put the pictures here for you guys to see how pathetic the fraud was. Very poorly done. I was starting to fall for this guy.

I am a 51 separated woman with a teenage boy and looking for a stable relationship. I put myself in one of those paid sites to find someone but he didn’t find me there. He sent a message asking me to add him to my contacts on INTERNATIONS app.

This guy messaged me through messenger and then very quickly moved to WhatsApp.

He is an structural engineer who lives in California, aged 44 and his mother has died, but his aunt is still alive, (But Sick)

The texts are broken English but what struck me odd is he sent me a number of photos and a video of himself in a car but this video had no sound.

He wont do a video call, but when i called him out for being a scammer he said he would prove it by video calling me which he did for 10 secs, it looked like the man in the pictures so i believed him.

I can't work out if he is real or a scammer. I feel like he is a scammer but with live video calls, photos and a video I just can't tell.

He hasn't asked for money but it has only been 3 weeks..... Anyone else talking with this guy?

The other odd thing is his Facebook has got taken down twice now but it does get reinstated.

Hi Katherine. My Name is Carolyn. I too have been in an online relationship with Steve for over 5 months. His Son is 14. It's been 3 years since your contact so was his son 14 at your meeting? He said he was in Iraq at the end of his contract and would not fly him home. They gave him a 90 day extension. He said he couldn't access his bank account.

He didn't notify the bank he was leaving the country. He asked for $2,800 for a plane ticket. I didn't have so he didn't get. I did however start sending him internet money and $500 for a school excursion. He planned on coming to GA to meet me.

He never showed.

He said he would come in October. I don't believe it. He gave me an internet phone number instead of cellphone number. Refuses to tell which town he lives in in the UK. All red flags.

Yet, I am the love of his life and he is sending romantic songs. Telling me how he misses the arms of a woman. However, he sent a love letter chat with someone else's Name..Lynda..in 1st and 3rd paragraphs and blamed it on a malfunction on his keyboard.

I asked him what did he take me for? He's GREAT AT WHAT HE DOES! Complete and perfect gentleman.

Simply playing Words With Friends, free online word game. Most games are with bots. One week ago a new player asks me to join a game, I did. Then I get a message, "Hi, how are you?" Me, "Fine." Him, "Where are you from?" Me, "USA. And you?" Him, "I was born in Germany, but moved to Florida, and now I am in South Sudan, with the UN military." Me, "Why are you there?" Him, "I am an orthopedic surgery. What is your job?" Me, "I work for the UN and the FBI as a data security analyst. I help them look for scammers."

Him, "oh ok so what is you marital status"? Me, "I have just divorced my 4th husband. What about you?" Him, "I lost my wife 6 years ago I have one daughter do you have kids?" Me, "Where is your daughter now?" Him, "in Florida living with a nanny." .... LOL!

Meanwhile, every word he adds to the game is the simplest one possible, just wants to keep the conversation going until he finally asks for my email address, which he won't get.

Just thought I'd share that these characters pop-up on non-dating sites. And... his story matches those here on this site, even if the location and names differ.

Good luck everyone... don't send email addresses, block them, don't send money.

Was just sucked in by this guy. Sounds like the same story but now going by Eric Jason Leonard. Can't find him anywhere on the internet. Engineers have an international association so if their name isn't listed BEWARE.

He is REALLY REALLY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. He plays the long game and even asked me out for a date prior to being called away on a "contract" in Turkey as a civil engineer on an oil rig. Sent me a ton of pics and said his mom and dad both had passed. Half Greek half British.

After 3 weeks of chatting he said a "pipe" had a hole in it and he needed a special tool to fix it or he would lose the contract. He had "lost" his phone and needed me to pay for a tool and have it shipped and he would pay back with interest.

The name he asked to send money to was veronica lickert and then there was another name Christopher Thompson. Absolutely an intricate scam and I am so worried for all of the vulnerable females out there. Because when you're on a dating site you're looking for true love and this guy knows it. Cut your losses and if they really love you they'll find you when they are back "home"

Hello All,

I am currently in communication with Victor Rowland Jarvinen - Dark hair, blue eyes, doctor who says he lives in Tampa and used to work for MSF. From Finland with Spanish background.

I was suspicious from the beginning because he "fell in love" very fast after a few days of chatting. Once he reached out to me on Zoosk he wanted to switch to Whatsapp and hangouts for chatting. He called me once on the phone and could barely speak English.

He has since shared with me bitcoin dealings and that he is in YEMEN now awaiting medical supplies. I am just waiting for the request for money. I am keeping him on a long leash in hopes that these scumbags may be caught. Take this as a warning.

I received a Hello on my Instagram from Usama Ahmad who claims to be a surgeon working in Yemen for seven years. He is a widower who lost his wife 60 years in a gas explosion and has a son called Nelson who is studying in Dubai.

He has a picture with Jamie Fox. When I wrote back that the U.N doesn't hire nor send doctors to Yemen he went ghost, so beware. I already knew about this scamming for money online con artist.

Very similar story!!!!!

We met on ConversationExchange! He told me he is a Orthopedic Surgeon working for the UK government on a contractual basis. Now he is contracted out to Turkey and stuck there due to Covid, waiting for the UN to grant his paper to go back to the UK! (by the way, scammer, the story seems a bit illogical! I may be too naïve, but don't understand why UK government contractor needs UN to grant a paper to go back to the UK!)

At the beginning, he sent me two pictures of him, one with him sitting in front of a house and one of him with his BLACK dog! Maybe good looking by normal standard! (another lesson to you, scammer, culture difference! The eyes in the one with the black dog appear too intimate to be sent to a Asian women/girl on FIRST contact!)

Similar stories lines: he has a 17-year-old daughter in the UK, widowed and can't access his bank account! He also said he is the only survivor of his family and grew up in the UK with his grandma who is now very sick!

Other similar signs: bad English for someone who grew up in the UK and a doctor; very strong accent for someone who grew up in the UK; only communicating by text, rarely by voice chat and never by video (excuse: dysfunctional camera).

starstarstarstarstar 		Love scammer "Michael Slier"
by: Anonymous

He sent me a message on telegram. A few days later he sent a picture and told me, he's Michael Slier from Portland and he is a doctor working for the UN in Yemen, a 58 year old widower with a 14 year old son, his wife died while giving birth to the second child.

His English is bad being American and a doctor! My English is not so good cause I'm from Germany. At this moment I searched for doctors in Yemen and found lots of information about scamming.

He wanted me to write on Hangouts, Gmail or WhatsApp. I told him, I only use telegram :-) Yesterday he sent me another pic with him and his black dog.

There's also an account in Facebook with another pic.

The scammer has stolen the pictures. I think the real man doesn't know that. How could I find out who's the guy on the pics to inform him ?? Maybe somebody knows this man ??

I didn't get sucked in because I smelled a rat from the beginning. Be careful on Twitter if somebody has a profile that says he's a doctor but he somehow has time to send you personal messages.

Such as, Tony Frederico, he says he's a surgeon and single dad from Austin, Texas, posts a picture of his dog Jack. I tried looking him up and there's no doctor with that name.

And then there's Dr John. Roalnd (that's exactly how he spells it, looks fishy from the beginning, and I couldn't find him either), "A physician who specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system including congenital anomalies," complete with a photo of him and his doctor buddies in surgical masks.

After chatting with him a few times, I noticed his poor English and I questioned where he was located, and he said he was on contract with the United Nations and is a citizen of Germany. Yeah, he's probably in Nigeria.

On Twitter, if you look to see who they follow, you'll find it's almost all women. These are all the ones they'll try to prey upon.

Be careful out there!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Maxwell Wilson scammer
by: Anonymous

Yes I had a guy calling himself Maxwell Wilson, American Maltese and after a few weeks of building me up and having many talks about the future the story continued onto him getting a contract for his vip logistics company.

It was all very exciting and I did have the feeling this wasn't right as I'd heard it before but I went along with him flying with his team to Zurich and then the destination to Istanbul in a ship organised by him and the team taking petroleum products to Turkey for the client.

Along the way the ship got damaged and the sea guard came then required them to evacuate, so they could weld the ships damage and work on the oil spillage.

In the rush and him transporting his team out to safety he left his bag with 75k in it and cards that was apparently stolen by the sea guard.

It for me was all plausible as I've dealt with people in these lives before and they were real in their jobs.

After 2 days of arguing and dealing with his situation I gave him the benefit of the doubt and yes transferred 5k euro to the apparent sea guard accountant Ludmilla Stenkenko at PRIVATBANK UKRAINE she's obviously real.

I questioned everything I was just wanting to believe the best in him.

Anyway after that they could leave on the ship and then the navy stopped them at the border and he asked for another 17k and I then knew, so a lesson learnt.

The worst thing is I'm grieving from the guy in the photos I fell for early on, it's heartbreaking so protect your selves ladies as it takes time to then heal, and if it's too good to be true it probably is. No man will be so perfect in this day n age sadly. That's just a fact.

I know who this is and its a guy who is Nigerian and before the scam began his photos were all over the net but now there's nothing to be found of him.

by: Anonymous

This sounds like a scam in every way possible. The scammer will give false information about why they need the money, and almost always will make fake promises to pay back with even more money than they originally asked for. Accounts are frozen, or they are deployed or stuck somewhere the account cannot be accessed.

Please, tell your friend not to refinance her house or give this person any kind of money. She will never hear from him again nor get back that money if she gives it. This is what scammers like this do, the same old story amongst the majority of them.

Using fake names with someone else's photo, will not video call. Use hangouts or other unsecured platforms to message and voice call. Report this guy and tell your friend walk away.

After my 7 year relationship ended, I was very vulnerable and for the first time came across catfishing online. I immediately blocked the individual and never allowed anyone to speak with me again as they were asking for money and gift cards and whatever else they could think of.

I lost my dad and these scammers are so heartless, they still are asking for money always going after someone that is going through or has gone through a hard time.

I really hope your friend sees sense and just walk away.

Block him. Never look back and be safe.

I never heard of this man but just like all the rest of them he is only after one thing which is her money had a man told me the same thing working alongside the Army as a doctor but I come to find out it was a lie that the man your friend is chatting with is nothing but a scammer.

Tell her to please do not send him anything as she will not get that money back or see him ever. Report him to what ever site she met him on and do some searching to see if he’s on other sites selling the same stories.

Check the UN list of Doctors to see if his name is on there and reverse his image and also never ever send anything to these men period and as always stay safe and report these men.

Gave my friend attorney info and banking information. She said he has 2 mil in the account but is locked out because he was overseas working.
TO me it sounds like a catfish situation but my friend is trying to get her house refinanced to raise the money and is asking friends for money to send to him.

starstarstarstarstar 		Orthopaedic doctor scam
by: Anonymous

I was contacted by Derek Chandler who says he is an orthopaedic doctor working in Yemen with the WHO. I am very computer savvy so it didn’t take long for me to uncover his fake Facebook page.

What is scary is that he had a corresponding Instagram page and LinkedIn profile that all corroborated his lies. He was using the photos of an Argentinian actor. He said his wife had died and he has a daughter in Los Angeles while he is working with American troops in Yemen. Things didn’t add up and I challenged him, alerted Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

All of those profiles are down now. It makes me happy because he had been posting there for a few years. This was a long rooted scam of his. I wonder how many people were caught up. He operated those sites for a few years but I figured him out very quickly and those profiles are gone now.

I am sure this won’t stop him. So sad, he will come back with another name but at least he has to start over and the most suspicious thing on Facebook is when you see someone’s profile is recent and they haven’t posted in years past.

At least his investment from past posting to make him sound legitimate has been broken by me.

This is a reply to the message left by 'anonymous', about Fransisco Mateo. I was talking to the same person, with the exact same job and areas that he lived. We were talking from around July 21 until lately I cut it off.

He is not who he tells you he is. He plays a really good game, getting to know someone, making plans then cancelling, avoiding phone calls and hours on end will go by until he replies to messages.

Has he told you he's in or has been to Wuhan? That he took a contract and has a DUI against him for a mistake back in Maryland, USA?

If he hasn't, he will eventually ask for money. Don't fall for it or give him any compromising pictures he can use against you.

I cannot say who it is behind the messages because he is very well spoken. Is this his phone number by the way 07418320658?

by: Anonymous

For the past 2 weeks I've been taking with a very handsome man by the name of Mark Hector. He told me he was from a town near me but has been working with the WHO for the past 2 years in Sana'a Yemen as an Orthopedic Surgeon.

I immediately Googled his name but found nothing, and I then did a Facebook search and again found nothing. When I asked him about it, he said I wouldn't find him. I thought that's odd, but continued talking with him.

I asked for pictures of him and where he was, and he sent me pictures of a very handsome man. Again, my gut kept telling me something was wrong. Why was a man this handsome interested in simple ole me? And the pics didn't add up. He wasn't in any of them, they all looked like Stock photos from an Army camp. I asked if we could talk and he said the Taliban watches/ listens for any type of radio signal so it would be very risky.

He finally did make a video call, and the person on the call was the person in the pics, so at that point I thought it was real. But less than 1 min into the call it dropped. I didn't hear from him again for 2 days, until I sent an email to the email address he'd given me for Hangouts. We started another Hangouts conversation.

A week goes by and we kept taking. Again, my gut kept telling me something wasn't right, so I confronted him with it. He said he was hurt that I wouldn't trust him. Being the fool I was, I apologized and we continued for another week.

Then today, I tried looking him up again on the internet under Dr. Mark Hector, Orthopedic Surgeon. I figured I'd find SOMETHING. Instead I found this article.

When I confronted him with this, he again got very defensive and started attacking my mentality, saying he knew this would happen and if this is how I loved someone. I explained that I was simply looking out for my best interest. His last comment was "You can think what ever you want, do what you want but don't forget this day" to which I replied believe me, I won't.

I was able to get a copy of a passport, which I'm sure is a fake, along with all of the pics he sent. I'm going to try to find out who the gentleman in the pic is by contacting the authorities.

My heart is broken, but I feel more stupid for not listening to my gut sooner.

I hope my story along the the original story helps someone else before they give these people any money and waste anymore time and heartache

Larson Grey is a scammer and your sister should run while she can! Larson is not a Dr. stationed in Afghanistan. It’s all a made up story to scam your sister. She should not send him money or gift cards. She also shouldn’t provide any personal information.

If she is communicating through Google hangout she should get off of that platform immediately and block him.

These scammers seek their prey very carefully and specialize in vulnerable women.

Lastly, under no circumstances should she deposit any check he might send her as she will face money laundering charges.

It was all so real so I did purchase the card and a week later he wanted a steam card for a better connection. I said no then he told me his son turns 15 and he likes a computer game but had to ship it to Arkansas to his teacher so he gave me the name and address in Arkansas then he said the teacher had called and said Peter needs a new computer for 900$.

That’s when I had enough.

I reported him to the government and there was no teacher and that it was a scam so I told him to go to hell. I haven’t heard from him again so be aware. The Government said no American DR goes on a dating online site so run the other way.

We talked for weeks everyday and then he said he had "mechanical issues with his machine" - sound familiar. He went by Boune, 59, wife died and he had a 9 yr old daughter. Went to school in England(Lancaster University), lived in Chatsworth, GA, and was currently living in Stafford, OR.

He will ask for Google Play cards. I met him through Facebook when he will get pushy and likes to use guilt.

I reported him to FB.

I was texting this Orthopedic working in Somalia Martin Alex and he told me he was 50 yrs old, lived in San Francisco, had a son, and he’s widowed. He sends me his sons Gmail who sent me a picture of him and a short video from work which was nice but the 3rd day he said that the Dr called him that his son was very ill and was bleeding a lot and he had to send 1000 in order to get operated.

I told him drs don’t call its the office that calls, and second drs are not going to let you know someone will die and he asked to lend him the money and that he will pay me back. I told him I don’t have any money but he wanted me to take a loan.

He called me and I knew it was from Nigeria because it’s not the same time. He told me I was heartless and I told him to get someone else.

I’m not done and they should stop these scammers and they have all the information of these people so it’s crazy

Then I noticed that he used photographs of Fernando Gomez Pinto, a well-known doctor. I understood from the LinkedIn and Facebook that there are hundreds of fake accounts with the same photo but different names as orthopedic surgeons! and I took a screenshot of the fake accounts and sent it to him.

I received a message from Facebook dating from a good looking Orthopedic surgeon with The WHO living in the suburbs of Houston. Immediately I did a reverse image search of photos which are of Tom Ernsting a gay male model and former Olympian swimmer.

So I knew before communicating that this person was a scammer, I just wanted to find out what his technique would be to have me empty out my wallet to him. He said that he was in Houston not overseas and was widowed with a foster daughter. We started corresponding on WhatsApp and moved to google Hangout. He refused to talk over the phone, a video chat snippet was of Tom, so we texted back and forth.

Within a couple days he was telling me that he loved me, and asked what I would get him for his birthday coming up, I asked what he wanted and he said Amazon cards. I asked how I should deliver the Amazon cards to him and he said just photo graph the numbers and send to him.

I blocked him, shortly after he calls me from another phone number, and hearing his voice for the first time it was an African accent and he asked why I blocked him. I told him why and he became angry, then I blocked the number he called from.

I implore always do a reverse image search and never give money to someone you've never met.

Yep, I got this scammer about 4 days ago. Claimed to be named Samaila Abbas, an LA doctor working for the UN in Yemen for a couple of months. Is in love with me after 2 conversations, kept asking, "where are you and what are you doing", "do you have a boyfriend", "I feel so connected and moved by you", etc.

You get the point, anyway, knowing that physicians licenses are public information, I looked him up, no one exists with this name. I looked up his number, 914 area code, which I know to be NY. Since this all didn't make sense to me, I asked a few questions after a few conversations, reported and blocked.

I thank goodness I am smart enough to see the red flags and not fall for the newest scam on the market. When I researched the name he gave, it mostly came up as a Nigerian used name.

I broke off all contact after doing some research. I feel very stupid for letting it go on that long. Never asked me for money but repeatedly claimed he was in love with me.

Folks, I read the posts on this site because I had suspicions about a fella who contacted me via FB. As so many have posted, he claims to be American (said he was from Chicago in my case), has a 13 year old son in boarding school in the UK, works as a surgeon with the UN in Yemen, and a widowerike me.

After one Messenger exchange, he then tried to initiate a video call via Messenger. I did not respond. We've been communicating through Messenger for several days. He always asks about me, but won't answer my questions. A couple days ago he asked me to download the app "WhatsApp." I looked it up, it made me feel uneasy due to the things the app can access (like all your contacts) so I didn't do it.

He has been rather insistent that I just do what he asked. I said no. Today I finally had the chance to search him on the internet & came across this post. He's the same guy. I blocked him immediately.

What a story! Contacted me on social media and said he's an orthopedic surgeon working for the UN healthcare in Istanbul, Turkey. He educates the students on surgeries. The work consists of bone fusion, things like lungs, heart, and other treatments. Not sure what an orthopedic surgeon has to do with lungs and heart??!!

He had said he was born in Brooklyn, and when he was 3, taken to Paris because his dad moved there for work. He's fluent in English but has an accent.

In 2004 he came back to the states and settled in Washington DC. He met his wife in Brooklyn, and it was a crazy love. They had a son, and then his wife and her dad convinced him to move to Turkey because her dad worked for the organization and they needed help. Then they divorced, but he's on 6 years contract.. rigorous contact. He works and lives in the base, and the government provides food, clothes, and all necessary things.

He said he wants a video call. Video calls were weird, it was dark, and I couldn't even see his face clearly, but his accent was not French. He also sent a bunch of selfies. I can't tell if it was the same person from the video.

I got very suspicious. Oh, did I tell you that he loved me from the 3rd day from the day we started chatting? He sent me love stories (copied from the internet), hearts and kisses, was extremely polite, making future plans with me, said he wants to open his hospital (hmmm), and everything sounded terrific but too good to be true.

He hated my questions, and his reaction to my questions was like, I don't trust him even after our video calls, and if I don't trust him, we need to stop our conversations and our relationship. We even 'broke up' twice when, in his opinion,' I was persistent with my questions.

Remember, I'm already highly suspicious at this point? I made him come back to me both times because I was so curious to know the conclusion to this beautiful love story

As you all know, these guys know what to say to make you the happiest woman on planet earth. 😉
One day, he said that he would ask his supervisor for a vacation to come to see me in the states (hooray). But unfortunately, his supervisor denied it and wanted me to write him the details about me, like my official name, where I'm from, and where Dr. Sebastian will meet me.

I was shocked and said I'm not sure if I want to do it. He'd said he's cool with me if I don't do it. He understands. But one day, he got so upset with me for not doing it. His tone changed, he became angry. I was shocked!

Later that day, I worked long hours and shared some level of details about my work issue. My work is related to financial fraud. I honestly did it on purpose, and guess what he was so curious as never before and started asking me questions (he never was interested in any level of details of my life).

So I became so impatient since I already got a clear picture of where this romance was going, I decided to confront him. He let me finish saying what I was going to say (I had a lot); he told me that I was wrong, I don't know anything about him, and his story is true. He thanked me for everything, wished me a happy life, and blocked me!

It's my ten days 'love story' in a short version. I wish I could share the pictures and his fake doctor's ID for you ladies to be aware of this fake doctor.

"Neurosurgeon" Robert Mangal Robinson who claims to be in Syria on a peacekeeping mission and claims to be from Los Angeles, widowed with a son in boarding school. This wasn’t even a dating site or social Media forum.

He played against me in Yahtzee for like a month before sending me a message. I didn’t fall for any of it and questioned him on every statement.
I googled some of his messages and he follows every scam trick in the book.

A tip I can give if you are curious if someone is a scammer is just google their messages. Pushing for info I asked what the hardest thing about being a "neurosurgeon" is and he sent a very long nicely worded statement. It was copied from the first search result of "hardest thing about being a neurosurgeon"

I've been a victim of a scam and lost money. I was on Quora and read about a woman who lost $100,000 to a scammer, and the money was borrowed from her parents. She writes that she found out about Financialreovery.tech and they were able to recover all her money, and the company keeps %10 of whatever's recovered.

I was intrigued and found the website and wrote a message about my story. Shortly thereafter I received a call from one of the companies agents, he had a very strong African accent, I thought I won't be biased and just listen to him, and he promised that he would recover all my money and they would keep %10 except they asked for a retainer fee which needed to be paid to them in bitcoins which I've never used, so I asked if I could pay with my credit card and was told that bitcoin was the preferred payment. I was told that Elon Musk was happy to have discovered bitcoin.

I agreed to their services but would not pay until my money was recovered which the agent reluctantly agreed with but I told him that I don't make snap decisions that I had to think about it.

Day #2 this agent requested to be allowed my number for WhatsApp which I gave to him, and within a few hours he was calling and messaging me incessantly on WhatsApp which I ignored because I had not made a decision.

Day #3 He called me continuously when I was at work, so I excused myself and went to a place where I could have a private conversation with him, and he became very aggressive and abusive, so I thought about it and decided after reading a website about this particular business that the website as glossy as it is presents numerous red flags.

After my conversation with him I decided that I was dealing with fraud and blocked this agent from contacting me further. I then went back on Quora and read many, many testimonials about this business that recovers monies lost by individuals to scammers, but it seems that many of the testimonials may have been fraudulently written.

I didn't want to throw bad money after bad money and lose more money if they had taken my money and disappeared as I would have had no recourse because the agent told me he was in London.

Be careful out there.

starstarstarstarstar 		Benedict - Gemologist in San Jose California
by: Anonymous

My good friend has met a fellow off of Facebook. His name was Benedict. Says he’s a gemologist. Says he’s from Italy but lives in San Jose. No mutual friends. Just requested her to accept him as a friend. She started to talk to him right away and he requested they talk on What’s app.

A day later his Facebook profile was off of Facebook. He sent a picture "of himself" lying on a beach in a bright green neon speedo. Good looking Italian looking man. I warned her it sounded like a scam and to be careful.

He keeps telling her how much he is falling for her and they are starting to get more intimate. I am worried for her. He hasn’t asked for any money yet as far as I know but it has only been about 2 weeks.

Anyone else heard of this guy out there?

Met a guy on an online dating site on TruMingle who says his name is Ryan Allen Samson and he is stationed in Kuwait with a 12yr old daughter. After chatting on hangouts for about a week, he says he is starting to be emotionally attached to me already !!

I said Wow..okay. Do you usually get so emotionally attached with someone you barely know?! Then I blocked him! Glad I am no longer on that dating site!!

These scammers are at an all time high!

That’s all they want from you so notify the FBI about these men as they are not Doctors or working on a oil rig or have kids in a boarding school if they can afford that then they don’t need anything from you so please be safe and Report them.

starstarstarstarstar 		Scammer from Damascus Hospital, Syria Dr Frank Bradley , Orthodox Surgeon
by: Anonymous

Ive been a close friend of Dr Frank Bradley stating that he works from Damascus Hospital , Syria as Orthodox Surgeon. For 2 years we have been intimate with all my trust for him and I was swayed with his promises for me to be his beneficiary of his hard earn money for 5 years that he has not received yet from the UN volunteer mission as a doctor.

Moreover, I was dismayed when he asked for money to pay all the requirements for the VAT and other expenses especially for a Diplomat to deliver the briefcase of money door to door at my house.

Moreover, he tried to ask me to send 1.5M PHP for the sake of delivery by the Diplomat courier. But then he is not happy when I sent that money and he asked me to sell all my property, my house my ATM salary, and my pension monthly to be sent all to him.

He entertained me when I mentioned about money but he ignored me when no money was involved in conversation. My problem now is that all the money I sent to him we all borrowed and I am now facing a case of swindling by a scammer. I was taken for a ride. with such huge amount of money I sent.

Help me with whom I will report this to? Im so scared and frightened of what will I do next for all of this?

Please Help Me. Thanks God bless you all.

So this really attractive guy named Stephen Thiago added me on Instagram a few days ago, claims he is an orthopedic surgeon working in Yemen with the UN. Said he’s originally from Michigan. Claims to be a widower, parents passed away when he was a teenager and the only family he has is a 16 year old daughter who doesn’t live on the base with him.

Asked if he could call me today but I declined. Hasn’t asked for money and is really speaking somewhat normally although some sounds like a foreigner could be texting.

Has anyone had this guy contact them? He said he was deleting Instagram and now he’s been talking to me from WhatsApp. The area code to his WhatsApp account is a Minnesota area code. I have pictures if anyone can help identify.

Received a friend request from Dr. Larry Spencer Orthopedic Surgeon from Dallas TX, however doing contract work in Kabul. I NEVER fall for this, but I continued to fish. Long story short, I realized when he/she began saying that facebook wasn't safe in Kabul due to the Taliban & asked for e-mail (NO), google hangout.

This person would NEVER answer questions directly, but with Okay, Nope, miss spelled words, incorrect diction, punctuation & complete sentences I told whomever that this site was enccrypted & would not allow further conversation.

Yup....you guessed it...."Crickets"! My heart goes out to the person that is oblivious to the fact that they are using him, his information & portraying a fraudulent scam involving him. This is HORRIFIC, DISGUSTING & PAINFUL for all involved.

I met this guy on fitbit app. He said he was a medical doctor in Connecticut at the Salvation Health hospital working under a contract that was just ending to help with covid patients. He said he got a new contract with the United Nations & had to leave right away for Somalia. He told me they froze his bank accounts for security purposes & was worried about that.

He professed his love early on and always wanted pictures of me, saying what a beautiful smile & beautiful eyes I had. He called me from over there & the phone kept cutting out. He said they told him he needed to register the phone. He asked me to contact "Somalia Outreach by email & register under his name saying he could only have one person registered to him. As soon as I said I wanted to be registered to him, Outreach told me that would cost me $1,000.00 for the phone to be connected for the entire time he was there, which would be until the health of the people was raised to 60%.

He said the food was so terrible he could barely swallow it & It would cost me $1,500.00 for a food subscription so he could get better food. Then he said he developed an ulcer & the next thing I knew, he was in the hospital, needing surgery!

Outreach told me it would be $7,000.00 for the surgery which had to be paid before they could do it because they had to bring in a specialist. He had also asked for $1,617.00 to pick up his equipment he had sent over there that he needed to treat his patients.

He also asked for Google play cards ($500.00 & $200.00) to pay to keep the phone working until I paid for it. He sent pictures of a very handsome man in scrubs with a name badge.

I can't believe how gullible I was, but they play on your emotions when you are down & lonely.

I contacted the U.N. (After I was out $2,700.00) that Outreach assured me would be paid back when his job there was done. They told me this was a scam & to discontinue contact immediately! I also reported it to the Federal Trade Commission & the State Police who told me the same thing.

I have since changed my bank account numbers, gotten new debit & credit cards, & changed my phone number & changed my email!

Please be careful ladies. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!

After I didn't pay for the surgery, Outreach told me he had a cardiac arrest & was in a coma! He called me the next day & begged me to pay for the surgery so he wouldn't die.

That was when I cut him off!!

Working as a marine mechanical engineer in Turkey or London on a rig ship. I trusted him completely, he put money into my bank account and it turned out to be fraud. Two bank accounts closed on me for fraud. He claims it wasn't him. He has all personal information on me. I Am so scared now I am going to block him now.

I reversed imaged him, and nothing came of it. I am now terrified he will do more damage to me. $8000 from bank fraud, on top of my own $20,000 debt. I am just an old woman on SSI and am now in deep financial trouble.

His account is brand new (created January 2021) and he has no followers, yet follows SO MANY WOMEN.

by: Anonymous

I am embarrassed how gullible I was. I know better my mom was scammed a few years ago. She was about ready to send "Frank" 20,000 and luckily I caught it. She was asking for help sending an attachment with her banking info.
I received a message on Facebook dating from Dr. Michael Clegg and we started chatting. He asked for my email because he is not on Facebook often. Then it was WhatsApp.

Text book move. In hindsight as I reread the messages so many red flags that I missed. He stated he was a Human respiratory specialist. He sent me a link to Vigorh Clinic where he "consultants" and at first it looked legit. I did google search the latter and its not Legit and none of the drs listed were real and no other info online but the link he sent me.

He said he just moved to Eugene and is from Ventura, which ironically I lived in Ventura for awhile and he never answered any question's about favorites spots. He also said he is involved in groundbreaking treatment of life threatening diseases with Doctors without borders.

He was a widow and lost his mom a few weeks after. Luckily we only commutated for a few weeks. What was my wakeup call was his last message "I hardly slept because I got a urgent summon to go to Bahrain so I can get my license, that is all that's remaining for us to go public. I will be leaving for Bahrain soon as I find the next available flight my dearest I am upset I wish we met sooner you are my good luck charm Yada Yada Yada.

My response: Good morning to you! What exciting news. How long will you be there? Maybe we can have a Virtual date before you leave. I have exciting news myself. My brother and his wife are coming to visit. I have not seen them since Christmas 2019. They live on the east coast and I don't get to see them often. We are celebrating, his wife officially became a FBI agent who will work in cyber security. Cant wait to tell her all about you.

I Immediately blocked him from all social media. Took screen shots of all of the photos and commutations. I am beating myself up that I did not realize sooner. If they sound too good to be true, then they are.

Soon after she contacts you via WhatsApp she asks if she can exchange pictures (just profile photos) and then states she has lost her job and her landlord is about to evict her and her mom, and she asks for help and gets angry because she is showing feelings towards you and you will not help.

She contacts you early on the morning ; Atlanta is -5 hours from the uk so she is sending messages at 2-3 in the morning. I video called "her" without letting her know I was going to and found this phone being operated by 2 coloured males wearing t- shorts and sandals.

He told me he was a doctor and called michael morrison and sent me pictures of himself and said he worked in a busy hospital in Amsterdam and being a nurse myself i asked him a few medical questions he could answer if he really was a doctor.

Anyway he always had an excuse why he couldn't face time me then after 2 months i told him if he really loved me he would show himself to me or i was blocking him as he uses Instagram hangout watsapp and dating sites so he told me he would tell me the truth if i still spoke to him.

I agreed to so i could see his real identity and he video called me and he was 29 not 39 like he told me and when he was the doctor Nigerian and his name was Tejiri TJ for short he had a twin brother Tega and lived in delta region of Nigeria which is one of the poorest.

I asked him how many women he had done this to and he said over 100 but as Michael Morrison 20 and the rest were under different names. He showed me where he lived and said why they do it and they ask for dollars as their money is naria and they got more naria on the black market for selling gift cards. I spoke to him for 3 hours on video call. I told him what he was doing was wrong and he said there is no jobs and every boy and girl between the age of 16 to 32 do this.

I asked him why he said no money here no food they have to buy gas for their generator or they dont get light in their homes. He said sometimes white woman as he referred to them are always over 40 as they are easier and he said they think they are talking to a man but it could be a woman.

The room he was in there was 6 men and 3 women online while he was speaking to me as doctors, oil workers etc and he told me everything I said to him doesn't make him feel guilty because you would do anything to feed your family.

I told him i couldn't speak to him anymore and that i was adding it to the site so women were warned and he said they would just find new pictures and new names but he asked me as he told me the truth could he stay in touch and maybe make a real relationship as he could come to the uk then and be happy and rich.

I ended the call and blocked him then so ladies please please be careful as none of these men are real and they are all fake so stop sending the money xx

I befriend a man on Facebook who called himself Dr Donald Paul. He told me he was a orthopedic surgeon. He lives in California. He goes on to tell me he has been working in Afghanistan for the past five years. His wife died around then. He has a son 11yrs old who lives in Nigeria with his teacher.

Red flags do go up. I bought his son £100.00 steam digital gift card for him as he couldn't access his bank from Afghanistan. More Red flags. He Asked me to chat to him on hangout. I said messenger is fine but he insisted. Ive got pics of him in his surgical scrubs and pics of his son. He asked me to marry him but he needed help with a leave permit certificate.

As for his son if it is but I doubt it I don't mind the Xmas gift. I've confronted him and told him he isn't who he says he is. He hasn't asked me for any money for this but I knew it was coming. He hasn't read his mail yet. So that will be a nice Xmas present for him. He said he's a very godley man and a good Christian.

I also asked him to what God he prayed to because its surely isn't mine. So angry that people like this feel no remorse for taking people's money.

Please be careful everyone. He probably has many names but for me he was Dr Donald Paul.

Other red flags: Orthopedic surgeon, engineer, oil rig worker, widower, child in boarding school, born in another country, moved to some place in U.S., but lives in another town (weird how so many of them say that!), wife killed in an accident (usually) or died some other way, says he loves you right away, starts calling you honey or sweetie or other endearments right away, etc., etc.

It's amazing how many stories are similar. Most of these scoundrels are in War-Torn areas working as Medical Professionals, widowed or divorced with one child. They send a few pictures that appear staged and are very evasive about their past and life.

Another similarity is "internet interruption" because the internet is poor, no phone service or the computer has a bad keyboard. They refuse a video chat or a phone call at no cost to them.
From LinkedIn to Hangouts just as fast as he starts saying "I love you!"

A sweet-talking scammer going by the name of Dr. Jay Fred convinced me to chat with him on Hangouts because he was supposedly in Afghanistan until February. Later, he changed his name to Fergal Fred because he said that was his real name. He claimed he was born in Ireland, graduated from Trinity College, and moved to Ohio.

He claimed to be Catholic, divorced, 53 years old, 5'11" with blue eyes and had a home in Atlanta, Georgia.

Often, we would get disconnected, and he claimed that the internet crashed. Three days before Thanksgiving, he alluded that he needed money to pay for the internet. I was already suspicious since he was very evasive, and I could not locate him in the directory of physicians.

An image search revealed that he was on other dating sites with different names. Specifically, he was on an LDS site claiming that he was from NY, a Mormon, and was 56 with brown.

I blocked him immediately.

starstarstarstarstar 		Roman Amato and Julien Fedele same person
by: Anonymous

Beware, over 15 months ago on Zoosk I met a very charming and charismatic guy who told me that he was an orthopedic surgeon in Sanaa Yemen with the United Nations Developmental Programme. Roman completely swept me off my feet with his beautiful emails daily, love songs daily from YouTube, phone conversations, etc,

I came across around September 30 2019 on this site from CatVas which described identically exactly with his proposal from the fake attorney website, Alexander his mentor and starting a Mash Unit in Syria, the difference was he told me that his daughters name was Emma aged 12, I could’ve written that September post though Roman told me that he moved to Albuquerque New Mexico after his divorce 6 years ago. CatVas states that Roman told him that he lived in Brooklyn, and I exploded at Roman and felt very hurt when I read her post, and he explained away that someone had hacked into his computer and that he was going to get the IT person to fix things ASAP.

He did change his email address. I found a post from 2017 on this site when he was in Syria and he went by Julien Fedele, his daughter was 12 also at that time, LOL.

Moving forward, I fell in love with him, all photos that he ever sent me of himself were of a Real Estate person by the name of Richard Waystack in the United States. Roman described his looks as having grey/white hair and blue eyes, and I did have 2 video chats within a couple months of one another on Google hangouts, and this guy was very good looking, black hair and intense dark eyes, and then a third video chat months later that I photographed during the video chat which I did a reverse image search and it turned out to be an Eastern European physician where the audio was stripped and romans voice coming out of his mouth.

Roman was rushing me to end the video chat as the actual video was fairly short. I confronted Roman about it and I believe he was very embarrassed. Still I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking that he was insecure about his looks, when I demanded a photograph he said to me "Let me remain invisible" and even the photos of his daughter Emma which I did a reverse image of her turned out to be not her but a young girl in Georgia by the name of Cami.

Photos of Roman were also photoshopped and even his Italian passport was real but a photo of Richard Waystack as the passport photo, Roman did send a photo of a good looking man with grey white hair in Venice which he said was really him but a reverse image search yielded nothing. Roman had a bit of an accent, but he did not have an Italian accent, and he had a very soft spoken voice.

This past October 2, 2020 he was finally leaving Sanaa Yemen to New Mexico to finally be with me, and we had a very sweet conversation, and he said he was flying out of Yemen from the Base to Dubai and then to New Mexico where we would finally be together and buy our own house immediately.

I never heard from Roman again thinking the worst that he succumbed to Covid etc, until recently I found on Pinterest with a post from about a week ago from him which makes me think whoever he is he’s actually in Brazil, and he will resurface on a dating website.

I believe that so women be careful. Roman is a pathological liar, he is very good at seducing the heart. I also do believe that Roman is a physician, his knowledge of medicine is very strong, as I too work in the medical profession, so be careful he will steal your heart and not commit, and you’ll never meet him in person.

I’m relieved that he showed his true self to me as I could never live with a liar, all trust would be gone.

She was ready to pack her baggage and go to San Francisco. We notified Facebook about our suspicion of this account to be a scammer or a fraud but they found nothing. These people are professionals and are out there prowling on the elderly to scam them of what ever they can get there hands on.

by: Rosie

Widowed, 15 year old daughter at boarding school in Britian, won 2 large homes (1 in San Francisco, 1 in NY), uses pics of a distinguished silver fox. Very wealthy, drives Mercedes, sent pics of his home which was a historic mansion. Is fulfilling a contract with the UN, working on the border of Lebanon and Israel. Had pretty good English and typing skills.

I became suspicious very quickly and asked for ID which he sent but could see it wasnt authentic. I suspect he is the same man many of the others on her have reported about.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE

Well I've read the messages on here regarding Frank Gilbert and he contacted me first on Facebook as amit karmar raj with frank gilbert in brackets - anyway he told me he was an oil contractor and could I talk to him on hangouts were he rang me more than once and after 2 days was in love with me even though I was wary.

He sent me 20 pictures of himself but I did a google image search and found the pictures on there as a romance scammer named frank hamlin amongst other names. When I questioned him about it he said he was fed up of lies and crap about him and he had been hacked. I believed him to be honest and he told me all this on the phone then he asked me to send him money until his cheque clears to pay for helicopter to get off the oil platform he is on, but what he didnt know at the time was my brother works on an oil platform so I knew you don't pay for transport or food or repairs on an oil platform also you have a good insurance policy to work on one so when I told him this he got very abusive and nasty and set up dating accounts and other things in my name where the fraud department are involved now so please ladies dont believe a word he says.

He is not an oil worker and his picture is not him at all. I hope this helps and I wish I had seen this site before I started talking to him

After 3 flowery emails, I wrote that I noticed he used many odd phrases, often used by scammers - end of story. He blocked messaging, but not profile, so I have written a complete note to POF on him and they send a "warning", which I like, as they know they are caught.

Not just blocking which does not tell them anything. These stories on here are so sad - please, know physicians have many options and NEVER need $$$.

I had a friend who was a high official in DC, so when I had a serious possible fake, I called him - they were concerned as this man was wanting to send me a suitcase of his personal things & so many valuable artifacts are stolen from these smaller governments, after war.

The FBI and CIA became involved - they sent an agent to my home & using my computer information were able to trace it to the Gold Coast of Africa to an apartment with a long table & multiple computers, which were manned by different people 24/7. They kept notes with account names & sites, and enough on each "target" to let the next person working the scan continue.

PLEASE, never send $$ or give your personal information. God will help you find someone, but value yourself, always be vigilant and careful.

A real gent will never do the NUTZ things I have read on here.

He never video calls and always says the internet connection is bad and he will ring you maybe twice then says he cant get a signal anymore. He never sends pictures of him right now in the moment touching his nose or anything and when I did a google image search on him there was pages of different names regrading this man and pictures.

He sent me a lot so please listen to me as I fell for his charm and I believed everything he said and found out he is just a scammer and he will tell you you are the only love of his life and he will tell you god sent you to him and talk a lot about gods gift etc but he a scammer and he only wants your money and when he gets it he moves onto the next victim.

He will tell you he only talks to you and even show you evidence of your name only on his list but he will never accept you calling him on video links and he will decline and he will ignore you unless you give him money.

Up to now I know of 84 victims including myself of Frank Gilbert charm and he has scammed between 84 of us of over $40 thousand so please if you get a message off him block him straight away.

He also uses the name john williams and amit kamar too and he will tell you he is from Arizona but works on an oil platform in Maine. There are no oil platforms in Maine ladies and no oil platform in the world will allow you onboard without insurance so dont believe a word he says and dont be another victim like the 84 of us he as already conned !!!!

Met Joel Peterson on Hinge. Petroleum engineer for Chevron. Said he was from Washington DC, and every time we try to Skype or use Google hangouts the connection was bad. Said he was moving across the country to the West Coast. After a month of being love bombarded by him, he told me he had one last job that he was going to do in Turkey. He promised me that we were going to get married and go looking for a house together.

I fell for it hook line and sinker. Beware of these scammers. He said he lived for the first few years of his life in Jamaica, and we talked on the phone a lot, and he quickly moved the conversation to WhatsApp, sent me pictures of flowers and poetry every day, then just before coming to the West Coast went to Turkey for this secret mission.

Messaged me first for money for equipment, then there was an explosion, and the third trick was that his helicopter crashed while taking them out to the oil rig platform. I got suckered and I lost $40,000. I contacted the hospital in turkey and sent them a picture of the bill. I was told that there was no one by that name in their Hospital, the account number was fake, the entire bill was fake, but their logo was correct.

Reported it to hinge and have yet to hear back. He miraculously Called me while being on deaths bed, because his accomplice by the name of Andrew realized that I knew that something was wrong and I told Andrew I did not want to be scammed. This Joel Peterson then immediately wrote me back a very long message on trust and how could I betray our love and trust. When I asked for a picture of him in the hospital room several times none came through.

Beware of anyone that you have not met face to face and even so if they ask you for money don’t fall for it like I did. This guy love bombed the heck out of me and hit all my vulnerable spots. I went online to Facebook and while he was supposedly dying in a Turkish hospital he created a Facebook page.

Ladies I had a man contact me who said his name was Frank Gilbert and he worked on an oil rig. He sent me pictures of himself and even rang me a few times on hangout but never video called and always rang with an Italian accent which he did say he was Italian when we first started chatting anyway.

Next min after weeks of talking and getting to know each other he told me one night that an emergency alarm had gone off on the oil rig and he had to go. A few hours later this man messaged me saying he was Franks boss and I was named next of kin and Frank was fighting for his life after a massive explosion on the rig.

As you can imagine I was so upset and asked what I could to be told Frank who apparently told me had this big house in Arizona and all this money working on the rig needed money towards his medical bills or the hospital couldn't treat Frank.

When I asked how much was told 2000 dollars and I then asked what his injuries were and what hospital as I am a nurse and the man got abusive towards me said asking stupid questions and if I cared for Frank I would send the money to save his life.

When I refused I had disgusting messages and a few hours later I had a phone call on hangout and apparently it was Frank telling me he loved me and to help him so he could come home to me. I told him no and blocked him.

Be careful ladies as I had come out of a violent abusive relationship where my ex partner is in prison for years for what he did to me so this man was making me feel like someone loved me again and wanted to be with me.

Never send money no matter what they say. I learnt once again that I cant attract a decent man.

I answered a ‘following" picture off of Instagram. Very handsome man who said he was an orthopedic doctor in Yemen. Widower with an 11 yr old son, which he changed to a daughter. I thanked him for his service, as I am trying to do to frontline workers.

Our friendship started and I was swooning in no time. We chatted everyday for almost 3 weeks. He was so sweet and kind and was meeting needs I didn’t realized I had. He showed me his pictures and a picture of him and his daughter. No son. I kept praying for God’s guidance and then is when it hit. The doctor was trying to get out of Yemen because he was scared.

His lawyer said he needed $7800 for paperwork through the UN. He was demanding and wanted me to get a loan and not to tell anyone what I was doing. I told him no and he got aggravated. Didn’t talk after that.

The profile also says that he lives in Lithonia, GA and went to Emory University. He stated that he was mixed (he appeared to look more Greek), his father was from South African and his mother was American, from Washington, DC.

The first day we matched, he asked for my number and if we could chat on WhatsApp. I agreed. Later that night, I noticed that he unmatched with me.

I pressed him for more information to confirm his identity and he could not provide any, just the run around. He gave me the number of 470-799-0540 but no information comes back to that number.

I received a message from a Steve Marcus saying he is an Orthopedic Surgeon on my fb page. Claims he works for the UN and stationed in Somalia since last year (an Ambassador). He says he is a widower and has a 14 year old son, Harry, studying in Austria.

Strange being he "lives" in San Francisco. He asks questions more than really answers. His conversation skills are not that of someone who claims to be a surgeon. Always asking "what time is it over there". On top of that, I don't know any MD's on fb, especially chatting with strangers like this, asking questions like on a dating site. I only answered to welcome as a friend. I'm in a long term relationship and happy.

Anyhow, he kept asking my age. When I told him, he disappeared sort of. He has written "hello" & "what time is it over there", but I refuse to acknowledge. I had a funny feeling this was a scam, especially now that he updated his profile, less information and different pictures (photos of same guy different scenes though still medical/doctor), still from San Francisco, BUT now attended UCSF (before it was Duke University, and a degree Biology).

He will ask if you can use a different platform to communicate, like WhatsApp. He told me his parents died in a car accident when he was young, and was placed in a Catholic school or organization (don't recall exactly) & his wife was a military journalist that was shot & killed on her way home in Afghanistan 4 years ago.

He says he is stationed in Somalia and works with the military & I think civilians. Oh, another unusual thing, orthopedic surgeons generally specialize in a specific area. He says he works on ankle, elbow & knees. Too many strange things! I have his latest fb profile picture, but unable to post here. Sorry!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL & PASS THE WORD AROUND, ESPECIALLY TO THE YOUNG & MORE VULNERABLE!

After a very quick google research to confirm my suspicions, I’m convinced my fiancé’s mom is talking to one of these scammers! An orthopedic surgeon based in Yemen. I got access to read some of their messages and they have both committed to spending their lives together
although they have never met in person!

It looks like they are planning to meet soon (Which I’m sure will never happen) and I have confronted her to show her it’s a scam but of course she believes he is real and she has met the love of her life! He has mentioned they should go into business together someday but nothing has happened yet, nor has money been sent or anything.

But we all know it’s coming!

I want to take control of this myself before it gets too far and send this scum a message to tell him to back off.

Your mum needs to stop any contact with this person right away and block him! I had my photo on Scrabble Go myself and was constantly being bombarded with scammers giving me fake stories about working on oil rigs, being surgeons in Syria, wives dying in car accidents, children in boarding schools---all a bunch of lies!

They all had photos posted which were stolen from other people. You can tell right away--too nice looking, dressed in suits or military garb or doctors' scrubs. It is so obvious.....please tell your mum that she is dealing with a scammer and not to believe any of what he says and definitely not to send any money or gift cards to that liar!

Stay safe and God bless you both.

starstarstarstarstar 		Is my mum being scammed?
by: Anonymous

At the moment my mum is talking to a guy by the name of Mark Leonard who claims to be a neuro surgeon from US who with a couple of other Dr’s were sent from the States to work in Yemen on a years contract to help out as they need help in the hospital because they don’t have hardly any supplies (which are being sent over to help these people from the US).

He has sent loads of photo’s of him and 1 of his 13 year old son who is in a boarding school in North Carolina! He’s been talking to mum from scrabble go for a good few months now saying all the right things, she has fallen for him but now his son has had an accident saying he had a cardiac arrest & fell down the stairs and broke his arm (he’s sent pics of him in the hospital bed) now he has asked her for 3000 pounds as he urgently needs an operation in the US and they won’t operate till he pays that.

1st he claims he can’t access his bank account in the US from Yemen, and he can’t leave till his contract is up in October. He’s not allowed to use a phone and they speak on WhatsApp every day. She’s not sent any money but he keeps insisting his son is going to die without it (she doesn’t have any money) but he still says if she could find a way it would help.

Now he’s saying even if it’s a 1000 pounds it would help, and he claims he has no friends that can help!!!

They ask for gift cards because it’s harder to trace them. There are a few Facebook pages that show stolen photos. These jerks use the photos to make up a new profile. I had one try to lure me in, but I stop everything pretty quick before he got a chance to ask for money.

Please be careful and check out the stolen photos page. You may find one you have seen before!

My mom started chatting to a guy named Christopher Moore. Not sure where she found him. He then told her to chat on hangouts which she started doing. He calls her my cutie pie, queen and always ends the conversation with "cares"😍.

Anyways says his wife died of cancer and he has a 10 year old son. He says he is from the States and works on different contracts in Nigeria. He started asking my mom to purchase Steam gift cards and she got him 2 $50 cards. He is now asking her to get him $500 worth of Steam cards.

I am not sure why these scammers ask for gift cards or what they use them for. Can someone please explain this to me. My sister and I are trying to stop her but she won’t listen.

Does any one know the name Dr.Jame Adrian from Liverpool,UK. I searched in Google and got a different and decent profile. He connected me through Facebook and then being friend came to wahtsapp. I lost my 35k in the name of Customs of India and to receive his gifts. He talked so sweet and decent.

I lost my money and was emotionally hurt within thirty days only. Though I considered him as a very good friend and not more than that and just got bit acquainted with him. He used to deny video calls which raised doubt in me, after losing my money. Then I found some Indian people's likes, especially women on his posts while he said he did not know any Indian except me. As I said I am married and have a kid and he promised to respect my marriage and family. He said he lost his wife 2 years back in a car accident and has a 11 years old daughter.

Sent me family pics and also professional pictures too. Actually we should be aware of people who are too sweet and won't show up themselves. I lost money and emotionally got hurt.

He said he is on a top service mission, yet continues to message me on Hangouts. After a few days of not responding he emailed me, because he misses his darling queen. I have a name and it isn't darling, queen, honey bear, sweetness.

I haven't responded to his email but he has the classic catfish signs.

by: Anonymous

A week ago I was contacted, through a fitness app called Fitbit, by a guy who pretended to be an american working as a military doctor and now deployed in Syria for 8 months. He said he is a widower and his wife died in a car accident. He sais he has 2 daughters. I didn't continue chatting too much.

After a few days I got a message from another guy, also on Fitbit, saying he is an american soldier deployed in Syria as well. That's when I started to smell something fishy. So he sent me "his" pictures. I searched the internet for those pictures and it turns out that those pictures belong to an actor and a soldier, with a totally different name and information.

What I wanna say is please be carefull. They take advantage of lonely women who maybe feel the need of being loved. They take advantage of women who search for a good guy. Ladies, I don't really think that the guy you look for is on the internet. I know there are happy stories in this world, but please be carefull!

I too am a single mom, divorced, maybe looking for a good guy and I almost got hurt in the process. So please be carefull!

I know what you dealt with. I had my credit ruined and lost more than 50k. He was believable. I may have been targeted. The pictures he presented as himself belonged to an American businessman, who legitimately worked out of the country a lot.

He stole that gentleman’s identity and ruined my credit and had my personal identity and financial credit hacked, abused and ruined.

Funny thing, I ran into another scammer and told him that he was too late that someone else took everything . He educated me and told me he purchased my information off a dark web site. He didn’t try to con me, but educated me and explained how it happens and disappeared. I learned a lot. Now I see the American business man’s pictures on many dating sites in many different countries using many different names.

Every time I see the pictures, I report them as fraud and provide proof. A site I paid to join Elite Singles refused to take it down. In fact, several persons I talked to on that site were foreign scammers. Many doctors, investors and various business men. Amazing how they get away with it and how gullible we are.

starstarstarstarstar 		Stay away from Marc Williams
by: Anonymous

6 months ago I met this man on Facebook. Being lonely all these years, I knew I was taking risks meeting people online. My sons warned me about it but I just wanted to be with someone who could replace my husband I was married to for 35 years. I’m not a naive woman. I’ve worked in the business sector as a Vice President of a local bank. I saw scams all the time. But since my retirement and my children are now off married with their own families, I wanted to have a partner.

So after chatting online via dating sites and Facebook for three years, I met this "Marc Williams". He claimed to be working as a government contractor in the oil services business off the coast of Norway (I mean in hindsight, Norway – really??). We weren’t allowed to chat directly via Facebook because of the security issues of his job, so we would text only. I wanted to talk directly to him but always it was the job restrictions that prevented hearing his voice.

He said all the right things. I was beautiful and despite our age difference, I’m 78 while he claimed he was 68 years old, he wanted to share the rest of lives together. He was coming home soon and wanted to be anywhere I was. At first he said he was from Nevada but then it changed to Texas, claiming he was "born" in Nevada but grew up in "Texas". He wanted to come to Vermont to be with me.

But then there was the issue with his son Reilly who was in a boarding school in Ireland (but that changed to Manchester later on). The boy apparently had lost his mother to cancer 3 years prior and was lonely. Reilly was turning 13 and was eager to meet me and Marc assured me Reilly would want to call me "Mom".

Being a loving mother, that tugged at my heartstrings!! He agreed that our faith, both Lutheran (what are the chances?!) would be a grounding force in our relationship. At first, he was telling me that he wanted to take care of me and wanted to buy me things. When my TV broke, he said he was going to buy me a new one, but never followed through on his constant offerings.

He told me to order the biggest TV on Amazon and he would reimburse me when he came home. That was the thing, he never exactly knew when he would be done. Always there was another issue that made him extend his contract. Then it was the talk of marriage. He assured me that he wanted to marry me and to get ready because he wanted to marry me as soon as he arrived.

I’ve never heard this man’s voice, and other than getting some pictures texted to me of a middle-aged man with salt and pepper hair, I had no idea who this man was. He kept asking where I lived, what I owned and how would our lives be. Then he asked me to forward some gift cards to Reilly, first for his birthday, then to help with the tuition.

Then my radar was fully up. The strong, professional woman I am came back and I realized I was being scammed. When I found this site, I couldn’t believe the similarities – names like Frank Williams, and Dr Frank Mark Williams; children in boarding schools in Europe whose mother died from cancer. My husband died of cancer!

So please, if it sounds to good to be true, you’re being scammed!

Please don’t fall victim to a scammer like I did 2 years ago. He is fake. He is preying on you from all the angles.

I met a man 2 years ago online. He seemed so believable. He had a foreign accent, but I work in a career that I hear lots of accents. He was very intelligent, handsome and had perfect English and writing skills. We made plans to meet and something always came up like another business trip. He sent me lavish gifts that I learned some other person’s credit card paid for.

We talked for 8 months before he asked me for anything. After a year loosing 50k and my identity stolen as well as hacking my credit card info. I found out too late whose pictures I was sent was not him, but an American business man who a friend of mine knew through his business. At the time I was recently widowed and vulnerable.

I lost a lot of money, my great credit score and the trust of ever believing some one to date. I wised up after finding this site and several other YouTube stories.

Scammers are out there. All they want is our money. Doctors don’t need your money, solders don’t need your money nor do financial investors. Provide them no information about yourself. I understand the attention feels good, but run away from him, block him and save yourself heartache and your financial well being destroyed.

He told me that he was born in Brazil, but then his parents moved to the states (Red flag, if he's a doctor?) and he grew up in LA. He was widowed 5 years ago when his wife died in a car accident. He has a son, Michael, who is 8.

Michael thinks Jason should start to date and find someone who can make him smile again. This was all too good to be true, so I started checking out this FB account.

Now the real guy, was a white guy in his 30-40's and looked like a young doc or therapist of some sort. When I looked through his friends, they were ALL black. Nothing against that, but I would think he would have friends of rainbow colors. Isn't that what the United Nations is? I also looked at one of the videos that the real guy made. He was very American with no accent.


As I read through the comments, I started to notice that the words, spellings, etc, isn't what Americans would use. There were 6 things that I counted, that Americans wouldn't do.


So I called him. NO RESPONSE. 5 Seconds later, he called me. I said, "Hello?" He said,"Hey, how are you?" Remember I mentioned above, that I listened to a video that the real guy made? Well, this caller was African-American. That's all I needed to hear. I said, "I knew it!" He said, "You knew what?"

The more he talked, the more I could tell, he wasn't white. I said, "I knew you weren't the guy on the FB account!" "What? Why do you say that?" I said, " Because this is NOT THE VOICE ON THE VIDEO that he made!"

Click...he hung up on me!! Then, he had the nerve to message me and say, "I don't know what's wrong with you!" I reported him 2 times. Two hours later, that FB account was taken down. Thank goodness, this only lasted 1 day!

He would first contact you on Instagram with an account like "Instagrammer". Would start chatting every day a little bit more. His wife died 4 years ago and he has 2 kids (6 and 10). He is from an hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. He is a doctor working in Syria. We would then ask (without making it a formal request) to help a family that needs help and because you like him, you would be blind and send him money (too bad for him, the account he gave was wrong...).

Then he would ask you to buy 100$ iTunes to be able to call him (while it works perfectly fine on WhatsApp). When asking for pictures: he would send you some very neutral voice message in Portuguese and some videos of him doing sport and then, like me, you would know a friend that can use internet and find out that the pictures he sent me were the one of a real person, Doctor Diego Silva and that a scammer is using his identity to trap some fragile ladies, in need of attention.

I recently started to play words with friends when Chris Tunis Wells messaged me. He asked me how everything in my area was going with covid-19 and how I was dealing with it financially. I immediately thought that was odd, because no one had ever messaged me before besides my close friends or relatives. He would ask me random questions and when I would ask him the same question back he would never answer me.

Red flag. He told me he was a soldier on a special recovery mission in Afghanistan. Whenever he would message me I would look up the time where he was supposedly at, and it would always be at hours when he should have been sleeping. When the game ended he said he wanted to keep communicating with me on Hangouts. I lied to him and told him I didn't have access to my email. He gave me his email and practically begged me to download the app.

He asked me for my email three times within 5 minutes. I looked him up through Facebook and found that the real Chris had been hacked and not to fall for any scams, he said he was still married and not on any social dating apps or games. I even went to his wife's page and she had the same post. I went back on words with Friends and blocked him and reported the page as an impersonation.

by: Anonymous

He slipped in my DM Instagram about a week ago. Very nice, and complimented me. He apologized for approaching me, but said he was scrolling and saw my profile. He was impressed and had to reach-out. He asked if I was married. I immediately thanked him for the compliment, but was very curt and blew him off, saying I have zero time for games. He was agreeable through the process.

He reached again the next day to say hello and how was my day. I was short, and told him I'm not interested, I don't do penpals, and I don't need more friends. So he tried on the third day and explained himself and asked if we could talk to get to know each other a bit better. He only has good intentions. Since he kept coming back, and I have run into critters with the obvious BS I said ok, that's fair we can start with a conversation.

He was very polite, and kept his respectable space. We were messaging for the first couple days. I told him I don't do messaging, let talk. He resisted by saying he wasn't comfortable as yet, and suggested we go on Hangouts because he is in N.Cyprus on a contract and he speaks to his 24 year old daughter in Med school in Canada.

He did share a lot, anything I asked he was immediately forth coming. We had great conversations,and I continued to tell him I am extremely cautious, and careful of who I let in my personal space. He adamantly agreed. I resisted switching to hangouts, but I asked my kids was it ok, they said yes. So I finally got on Hangout. I saw that it was still a messaging options for phone and facetime.

Yesterday morning I asked him to send me a quick selfie, because I wanted to see who I was talking to, and laughed about avoiding catfishing. He immediately sent me a selfie. I was shocked the selfie was so perfect, he sent it immediately then a call came in from Turkey a minute later. I said wow, ok! He may be legit, and he is passing the litmus tests.

Its the same number that was in his contact on Instagram. Ok, he called, but why cant we continue talking daily on the phone. I am always suspect of these damn men. My kids told me to be nice, so I was trying to chill. We connected later that evening. He wrote this long message about he is retiring after this project, hes divorced 4 years ago. His daughter is grown, and he has worked extremely hard all his life and he is looking for balance, and to check off his bucket list, with a great lifetime companion.

He said that's why he reached out and messaged me because I was initially attractive, but when he looked through my page he was impressed with my character. He was constantly very attentive and asked me if he could send flowers to start and cement our friendship and start on working on a relationship.

I said that was cool, he never asked me for anything. He would check in about 2-3 times a day asking about my day and telling about his. It seemed for the most part legit!

BUT he was sooooo Fine! I asked why me out of all of the millions of women. He said I caught his eye. So I think with these scams, they are very sophisticated now. I was probably his project or file. I did my research, I googled him, his residence in NY(SOHO). I did also do a internal phone and photo check, but nothing suspicious came up. I had hoped I was wrong. I checked his Instagram, he had more followers than folks he was following. I even reached to someone that was following him to act like I was inquiring about if they had done business with him. They said no, but knew of him, not personally.

So there were no overt signs. I google everything and checked all social media. A couple of days after we started talking he stopped following a couple of women on his page. I was the only woman he was following. Everything seemed like a deserved dream come true, but the woman gut, just did not sit right.

"Why are we talking on the phone, if he is sending followers and he is still out of the country!" He said he found a florist online that would send me flowers. Some other red flags were that he would reach out specific times of the day or night, but we would be in the middle of a conversation and he would go MIA for a couple of hours. He would send a message saying sorry I fell asleep, I am so worn out after a day of work.

But then I questioned his timing because initially he said he walks and meditates about 4am before going into work. He said was a overseas director for some Mines in N. Cyprus. He said earlier that day he was coming from work to the hotel and would lay down and sleep. Sounded all fine. When I did question a couple of things he would try to spin it, and say I need to understand the time difference and he cant call me every hour of the day!

AhhhhKay!, I'm not 20 anymore, and have been played by enough narcissists to know the reverse Psychology game. So today I flat told him I don't do penpal as I originally said and we both agreed, and what is the issue with talking or face timing, that when he tries to divert and says I can't call you every hour of the day.

I told him the internet is flooded with Date Scammers, and I hope I am wrong. I have not heard back!

UNFN-BELIVEABLE! I'm glad I do not waiver from my core values, and not get sucked in by a mans BS! I have blocked and reported his page to Instagram. I also thought it was odd that as a professional, he did not have a Linkedin, and for his age, 60, he was not on Facebook.

Thats how my week went! #self-worth

starstarstarstarstar 		Guy on Scrabble Go
by: Anonymous

I accepted a request to play with someone calling himself Chandler Ethan on Scrabble Go. His photo right away raised a red flag with me. Sure enough, he started trying to chat with me. I wrote him that my name is Lois Lane and I live in Gotham, New York (Superman's girlfriend and a reporter).

He didn't say anything about that, which told me he probably wasn't an American, though he said he lived in Miami, Florida. He asked me how the weather was "over there." Why would they say "over there?" I've had two guys (both scammers) ask the same thing, though they claimed to be in the US. Sounds like they were actually overseas! "Chandler" claimed he was on an oil rig "with his men 4,000 miles in the north sea of the Gulf of the Mexico."

The Gulf of Mexico is less than 2,000 miles in length and less than 1,000 in width, so that didn't ring true. Maybe he got the North Sea mixed up with the Gulf of Mexico? Anyway, the oil rig story was a dead giveaway of a scammer, as so many of them say they are on an oil rig if they aren't an "orthopedic surgeon" or an "engineer." His English was poor, too.

I deleted him after only a few chats. You can almost tell by the photos of themselves they post that they are probably a scammer--usually a photo of someone very good looking (and stolen from someone else's profile).

Don't fall for their lies, ladies! They usually start almost right away with questions like: "How are you today? What's your name? Are you married (or single)? Where are you playing from? Do you have kids? I just want to make friends. I hope you don't mind."

The real players on Scrabble or Words With Friends don't ask you these questions right away, and usually never!

Be aware and keep your radar up, ladies.

Peace to you all.

It is not impossible that you meet a soldier in Iraq. It does happen, but very rarely. Every case I have researched for women on the internet has proven to be 100% false.

Almost all are poorly written profiles. We do not have soldiers stationed in places like China. and if the man claims to be a general, it is like being a city commissioner - they have a public profile you can verify online. If you don't find one, he isn't a real general.

I’ve just reported him on Instagram so his account can be taken down. Hopefully this will prevent anyone being scammed. Follow truth seekers Europe on Instagram. This account identifies scammers and fake accounts.

There’s so many out there. Be careful, they are all using stolen identities and are usually Nigerian men.

1 month ago this man asked me from pin interest to be friend and then I approved, the way he talked is so nice and romantic. He make some promises but I ignored that and he asked me to talk in hangouts which I never used that before so he intensified to call me, and chat also.

His son was in boarding school in California and his name was Jerry, 14 yrs and on 12 Feb was birthday and this man starting asking for money for his present and he wanted to buy him an apple laptop that cost $ 2500.

I said sorry I can’t give you and then he beg me just give $1000 only for his present and this was stupid of me so I gave to his sons teachers but I felt suspicious when I sent to the person he gave me as they were not in California nevertheless in my country so I start thinking this is scam and after 1 week he asked me for money again to get a vacation certificate which cost $7500.

I said sorry then I deleted my hangout so please be careful with this guy. He sent me some of his pictures and he’s a quite good looking but that’ll fake so be careful

This man is lying to you and he is not in a war zone in Yemen he could be anywhere. He is a scammer that's what they do and they lie to get money from you for itunes cards etc. You need to stop all communications with this man as the United Nations is not going to send you any phones for kids in a orphanage or anything else for that matter.

Here is a link that I think you should check out it's called United Nations Fraud Alert page go to https://www.un.org as they have a lot of information on that page about scammers and never ever send any money to know one you don't know so I really hope this help you.

If it's too good to be true then it is and you can also do a background check on this person as well as a google reverse image if you have a photo of him and it will show other information you may not have on this guy and as always stay safe and aware of these men.

Why do these scammers think we women will not perform a check prior to it becoming serious. A few key callouts on how to check if the person impersonating the online dating man is a scammer:

1. Use Google's reverse image. Trust me it will tell you immediately if the guy is a scammer

2. When his profile does not add up. He says he is Malayam but has images of a European man in his profile

3. He says he cannot call you or FaceTime you. Always FaceTime ladies. If he can't thats immediately dodgy

4. He is too good to be true. He represents himself as someone who has gone through immense loss and suffering and is always present whenever you need him

5. He plays it safe by calling you generic names such as Baby, Sweetheart etc

HE CLAIMS HE IS IN LOVE WITH ME AND WANTS TO BE WITH ME. YES I HAVE SENT HIM GIFT CARDS. NOW HE CLAIMS HIS INTERNET IS OFF AND IT TAKES 200.00 TO GET IT ON SO HE CAN CONTINUE TO CHAT WITH ME. He always calls me his queen almost in every sentence he says he is 63 and I am 73, he says age doesnt matter.

He wants the UN to send me phones for kids in an orphanage and for me when I get them to send them to the address he will send me. I am almost afraid to do this.

I have been chatting with Bram Lucas Scott since August last year, before I was aware of Scammers. He says he is a 4 star general in the Royal Dutch Army and is located in Afghanistan on a peace mission with the UN. He is very sweet and caring and says all the right things. Says he has a 15 year old son who is living in Florida. Bram says he is from Amsterdam and does speak Dutch.

However, he has used phrases that other scammers use (I am now fully aware of the scammers) and is asking for money to get home to his son and here to me. I have been investigating online and this is the first site I have found anything on him. I am so grateful because I was actually considering sending him the funds...not now!!

I am building 'my case' up on him so if anyone has anything to add, please let me know. I am playing along with his little scheme for now and then I will drop the bomb on him!!!

I recently ended up involved with a man I met through the Twoo website. He goes by the name of Gath Davis. Says he is a Orthopedic fellow of the United Nations and is stationed in Saudi Arabia. Similar to some of the comments here, he has asked me for cards and said he could not get them where he is stationed.

Recently asked me to help him to request a vacation so he could see me. He is very savvy at making you think he is a wonderful person who finally found the love of his life. This is a very long story that it’s like a soap opera. It has been almost impossible to find information on this individual. Now I know why.

They don’t use their real name and everything is a lie.

starstarstarstarstar 		Very so much scamming
by: Anonymous

Dear to all it may be concerned, I had been contacted by many men through Ourtimes.com and Tinder, then also on face book. Started on these sites and they wanted to move to hangouts.

All these men after weeks and months of contact ended up asking me for money. Itune cards, and I phones, and had a so called service Army man who wanted me to set up an banking account and so he could receive a kinship payment because his grandson wasn't 18 and couldn't receive. He was very persistent and sent me an account number with last 4 account to open it to show he had money in the account.

I have refused to send anything or set up anything. I wish I would have kept their names and photos. One of them said he was Dr. Roman Davis and spoke with him for a year, he finally asked for money and iTunes card. He was suppose to be in Yemen and a neurosurgeon and had called me several times. I asked for proof who he was but said he couldn't do that because he worked and set on the board of Drs. without boarders.

My step son had signed me up for dating sites and warned me to not ever send anything. A lot of I love You and spend the rest of your life with you, and a lot of them say they are engineers and travel the world for contracts then suddenly there is an emergency and they need something from you. I had kept pictures and profile and comments but my son told me to delete and don't talk with them again. I had wanted to send photos and their comments to Aarp because they had a report on scamming but I had already deleted all the information.

I had at least all but two people off the dating sites that contacted me was scamming, and I tried to get info so I could share to put a stop to it. So everyone on the dating sites at least 7 or more. I had gotten a new phone and just deleted all the so called phone numbers, had one contact me through facebook said he was Chris Morris from Springboat, Colorado. he Was in jelwery, but had typed for a while then lost contact and he said his account was hacked, then heard from him again but I could tell by the wording I wasn't typing with the same person.

The picture he sent was not the one on the website he sent me then he suddenly was robbed in Africa and he needed my help because banks closed or froze his account, but I told him to contact your business and had have them send you what you are asking for. I ask each one of these men to send me proof of who you are. Not one would send proof. There was a Larry Ortiz also from Fl. who went overseas but didn't allow enough money for shipping equipment to Africa so they charged him more than what he bid for but anyway he was on tinder site first then match.com with the same picture as Larry but he was now claiming to be Harry Ortiz. All I can say was I was glad my step son warned me ahead of time about the scamming.

It is a very sad world, each one after they asked me for help I would ask them how they sleep at night and Id pray for them. I think dating sites should verify anyone who is signing up for these sites and some how be held accountable also, just my thoughts.

Watch for the name Dang Silva. Another Orthopedic Surgeon with the UN. Is very good! Tried to trip up with medical terminology and he even knew the correct Bowl name for a College football game. Answered immediately.

He's very patient, of course there could be many different people. Needed money to pay for a huge amount of money kept by a private company. Wife dead kid in boarding school. I asked how he paid for school? Since he had no money or credit card. No phone, was in Kabul.

Then needed 3,800.00 wired to a baby k in Texas. Couldn't find any person listed by the UN, no physician with that name! Met on WWF then said let's move to Hangouts.

I talked to a surgeon in Syria for a year and I knew he was a scammer. Always asked for money and always pledged his love for me. A widower with a son in California boarding school. I told him I was done playing his game and wouldn’t send money and didn’t want to play his game anymore. I disconnected myself from him on hangouts and didn’t answer my phone for two weeks.

Then he e mailed me and said he had a confession to make. So stupid me went back on hangouts and he told me he was a yahoo boy and he saw the light. He left to start a new life. He had two daughters and his girlfriend was with another yahoo boy. His sister took care of the girls and he couldn’t get work there because Nigeria is so poor. We started up another chat and he sent me pictures of him and his daughters. Then he started complaining about having no food and just a little card would save him blah blah.

It’s been two weeks now and I feel like a weight was lifted. There are so many signs that tell you he’s a scammer. Asking for money and bad grammar are two. Also crazy events like jail and the hospital always occurs. Also talking on hangouts or what’s app with the love and hearts and kisses. Always a widower or divorced from a-cheating wife and kids in boarding school. Usually a dr. or on an oil rig.

The sooner you dump them the better your life gets.

Anyway, I noticed he was a scammer because of his poor grammar, and that he asked me to go to Hangouts to continue our conversation. I never use Hangouts and after some quick research, it seems that it is full of scammers for some reason.

by: Irene

Beware!! This scammer tries to impersonate a retired American Lt. general. Do not believe one word. His English is terrible. After a week, he will ask you for money to come to see you. He will claim to be in the military in Saudi Arabia or another middle eastern country and need you to contact the Pentagon so he can be relieved of duty to come visit you.

Number one: Common sense tells you generals' friends, relatives, significant others do not contact the Pentagon.

Secondly: You don't send a general money -- they got their own.

Thirdly: The Pentagon does not ask retired personnel to return to duty.

After I gave him enough rope to hang himself, he admitted to the scam and wanted to be my friend. I said enough was enough and blocked him from my friends on Facebook.

Maybe the same guy but different name and he wanted me to use bitcoin wallet, money gram, western union
Steam cards, and iTunes cards. I'm out of pocket.
He was also claiming he worked on a oil rig and had a 12 yrs old son and he was from Salem Illinois
so it appears we both have been scammed by this same guy

Well I did it. I told him no more money as I've given him 4,400 in iTunes and steam cards I'm such a fool for been taken in by a scammer. After telling him no more money the bad language started so I guess he wont be coming out on the 17th Oct lol

I say good riddance to Dave Patrick, his son Ellis Patrick and especially Dr Roland Markson who needs 5000 to fix Ellis who is in a comma
He's on Whatsapp and also Hangout but I haven't blocked him as yet.

Currently talking through WWF with "Dr. John (Osborn) Hamilton". He sent a photo of him sitting in chair, arms crossed, slouched, big smile, white guy, dark hair, in army suit.
Next pic was a closeup selfie, unshaven, big round face, dark eyes. Said he’s 54. "Age is but a number". Called me only dear or honey, never by my name after the introduction.

Orthopedic surgeon which later turned into neurosurgery. Son, 10 yo, in boarding school in Texas. Wife Olivia died last in 2015 from a "ghastly" car accident. Loves all the same hobbies as I do. Loves me "to the moon and back". Goes to church. Wants a woman to love him and follow him wherever.

And much more, although he doesn’t like to answer tougher questions like "why is your son in boarding school". He made no sexual comments at all. Said he got worried about me when I didn’t respond more quickly. And on and on, he writes multiple times a day. He can’t call due to security rules on the Berlin base.

I can’t find him anywhere online.

This sounds like the typical scam. Wife died in a car accident, son in a coma (usually they are in boarding school somewhere), needs money through things like iTunes, etc. Coming to see you? I doubt it. They say they are coming to see you but things will keep happening that require you to send more and more money and the person will never arrive and your money will be gone.

Don't trust someone like this! He is just using your good heart to take your money. What kind of man does this? Please read about other women's experiences with these scammers on this site. There are other sites, too. Even the US government has put out warnings about these so-called "romance" scams. Get informed! Knowledge is power and will keep you from not getting involved in these kind of things through being naive and vulnerable. Hugs to you.

by: CatVas

Two months ago i was contacted on POF dating site by a guy who said he lives in Brooklyn New York, works for United Nations Development Program. After speaking for one week he told me that he received his next contract and that was to Yemen. He also said he is an orthopedic surgeon and has been working with UNDP since 1992.

He asked to keep in touch by email and hangouts. After we met on POF we chatted on Whatsapp and he phoned me a number of times. His English was very good, he said he was born in Italy and did his medical degree there but his mother was south African. His accent was bit hard to pick but sounded slightly African and not Italian. He was very believable, even sent me a scanned copy of his employment contract from United Nations Development Program. After 6 weeks of chatting, phone calls and emails and one video chat on hangouts where the quality was extremely bad and lasted for about 6 seconds he phoned me one morning to say he wanted to discuss something personal.

Last year with the help of a mentor he applied for a contract to supply a MASH hospital in Syria but because he works for UNPD he was not able to have his name on the contract and his mentor Alexander Filippo from Italy did for him. The story goes his mentor passed away from cancer in July 2018. The contract was fulfilled and everything paid for and the MASH set up in Syria. The contract being worth $37 million.

Because his friend passed away he was the next of kin and the lawyers had contacted him to collect his funds which were supposedly in a security vault in Ireland. He asked me would I be a beneficiary and that is was straight forward. UNDP could not know about this as he could be sued. He gave me the lawyers email address.

I went along with this request. I received an email saying they will start of the process of releasing the funds and the payment will be $8232.00 us dollars. I googled the name of the law firm and of course its fake, stolen images were used. I continued to chat to this person and spoke about my concerns with the fake lawyer. In the meantime he sent flowers, and I contacted inter flora and due to privacy they could not tell me who sent them. I no longer communicate with this person.

I have done a reverse image on the two photos i have of him and it returned many results of profiles on dating sites and even a community site called bikers. The fake site is http://allenandbraunchambers.org/lawyers.htm

I have contacted Go-daddy who host the site and asked them to take it down and have proved that its fake. Im very passionate about trying to prevent anyone falling victims to scams.

Asking money is not the only aims of perpetrators in the SNS. Photo of your self and even your family, DOB, the schools you went, occupation, workplace, asset, real estate & salary (may not ask you directly) are great information who are involve in fraud (ID theft can be used for obtaining social security, passport, drivers license, credit card and bank account illegally)

I met an Irish pilot in the past, he flied to my city to meet me within a few weeks when we met in the Veggieconnection, the matching site for vegetarian. Friendship lasted for many years but I had contacts from the police (not the Irish Garda), and happened to learn that Aer Lingus,the airline the Irish pilot worked for, got two arrests who had involved in human trafficking by means of their workplace resources (uniforms, vehicles etc) for about a decade. The Irish investigators initially expected that more than 10 staff from Aer Lingus, but the the Irish police and prosecutors didn't go further investigation and the criminal lawsuit has finished by ordering guilty of two staff.

Culprits who actually transported hundreds of illegal immigrants from South Europe to Dublin Airport were never arrested and sent to the prison but I'm sure the personal information gathered through SNS and matching sites by the staff of Aer Lingus are still abused among the organized crime groups around the world.

I met a guy and he said he was Dr Randy Berry Marcus who said he was working for the UN army at Baghdad on a contract. He said he was Italian born and he had a 12 year old daughter. I wasn't sure whether he was real or a scammer, however, I ensured that I made him I aware that I was aware of scammers who take people's monies.

I was hoping that he would see that he doesn't stand a chance if he came with that mentality and he would just give up and move on. Instead he kept on sending me pics and in some pics he was on his medical clothing in theatre. He was preparing to come to my country to be with me.
The pics were very convincing. The guy on the pics was Soo charming as I was almost ready to marry the guy when he gets to my country but some things were not making sense and I asked for a video call and he said they were not allowed to do video calls, and then I asked for a voice note and that's when I picked up a bit of
Nigerian accent which was slightly confusing. The funny thing is that on the weekend he was supposed to fly to my country then he disappeared and sadly I was hurt because I was convinced that he was real, and we had build a relationship chatting over some time.

My subconscious was telling me something yet I convinced myself that he was real. Ladies please be careful.

John Carl - orthopedic surgeon for the UN, working in the far east. He sounded real at first, but now I started doubting because of too beautiful writing. I googled his name, no one comes up. Found him on OKCupid.com

The photo was cute, unconventional, but can't believe it is another scam. Unfortunately, I gave him my personal email - hopefully nothing much will come of it. Today I found two of his messages in spam and yes, right away he suggested us talking on Google hangouts or the phone - didn't give any and will add his address back to the spam. Thank you, everyone, for sharing.

This one pretends to have been born in San Francisco, raised by the mother, having a daughter living in Tokyo. The story is too similar to what everyone is describing here, so as much as I liked him in the profile picture, will not go further. I asked today for another photo of him as I'm curios now what he will be sending, if any.

Found my profile on POF. Profile on POF was Jason0800. Almost an identical story to the many I've read on here. An orthopedic surgeon working for the UN He says he is divorced, has 2 daughters ages 13 and 11 who are in boarding school in North Carolina. I've woke up the past two mornings to corny poems and romantic YouTube videos. He asked me to message him on Google Hangouts because he was too busy trying to check messages on POF.

The whole scenario fits perfectly with the adage "If it sounds to good to be true it s because it usually is." He has sent 4 different photos. 2 of him dressed in scrubs with co workers, 1 holding something blue in his hand that I can't identify and 1 with him standing in front of a pair of lips painted red, orange, yellow, green and blue with 2 teeth against a white paneled background. He has not yet asked for anything but information though I regret sending him any photos in return. So grateful to have found this site and for those who have previously contributed.

Got a friend request from a handsome man on Instagram. I asked how he knew me and he said, "I don’t but I saw your profile and my heart told me to contact you". Says he’s an Orthopedic/Plastic surgeon. He said he was born in Brazil but grew up in Miami and Houston. But he lived in Yemen now treating the wounded soldiers. The scary thing is if you google Wilson Walker there is a Dr in TN who is an orthopedic surgeon.

But some of these guys grammar was incorrect, and an Orthopedic Surgeon would be educated enough to know better. So I was on to him right away. So I started asking more questions and he continued to tell how he’s a widow. This man has over 10,000 followers on Instagram! Scary.

So then he asks me what my occupation was. So I told him I scan the internet looking for people who try to scam money from innocent people. I then said I would be reporting him. And his response was...you bastard...of course I’m going to delete you.

She is supposedly in Atlanta Georgia going to school there and since he is refusing to give me the name of the hospital I decided to call about 4 to 5 hospitals and ask if they have a Patient by the name of Laura Brooks they all said no and I still have more to call.

His name is Harry Brooks has anyone heard of him by chance?? Also does anyone know how to do google image search?? I’ve tried and I can’t seem to get it figured out. Thank you in advance.

I have pictures of him and his supposedly daughter. I want to catch him in a lie and try to let her know that he is using her picture if I can find her FB or IG page. Please email me if you like for the pictures help would be greatly appreciated. 1114holland@gmail.com

I received a friend request on FB from a man who claims he is an Orthopedic Surgeon at the UN. I did a google image search and he has an Instagram account that is private. He goes by the name of Jeffrey Goodman Hawkins. The Instagram reflects a different last name but does reflect that he is a doctor of some sort.

I have encountered so many scammers on the online dating sites. It's a shame that we have to go through this when we are paying to be a member on these sites.

Yes, they do get around. And yes they do get very angry when you call them out.

Honestly all they love is all the money they can get from you in one form or another. It’s a shame. Just block them. Ignore their insults. Karma will bite them back.

Well I was scammed by Peter Galloway, been talking for a week. He is in army in yemen. Wife died, 2 kids. Has cars etc. Then after many talks, sweet verses, promising the moon and the stars their camp about 300km is attacked. Need to send email to general and ask he must leave. Either I am pregnant with his child or his grandma is sick that is taking care of his kids. I searched for army protocols and find that something is not right. Then got this email back from general: Hello Madam,

My name is (General Daren Hornbeck), i saw your request asking me to let your partner leave the camp.I do not have any power to keep any military operative who wishes to leave in time of like this. I am a leader of people, but you must go through all due process before your husband will be released to you.
ut first you have to provide me some important information about your partner for security and recognition purposes.

FIRST NAME;

MIDDLE NAME:

LAST NAME:

COUNTY :

HOME TOWN:

MILITARY CODE NUMBER:

SERVING COUNTRY:

I will tell you all that you need to do once you have provided this information for security purposes, thank you and have a good day ahead.
Regards,
GENERAL DAREN HORNBEC

Then I email the details he gave. Then another email return with amounts of money to pay for each month he wants leave...like $3500 for 1 month up to $7500 for 4 months. All of his accounts are frozen due to working in the army. Lol. I searched and it is not like it works. If there is emergency then the army pay, not you. But the army number is not correct. Can't find him in San Diego on people search. Got this site and read about the reverse image check...lol got him.

Please be careful. So I send him the link with all his names and photos on. Read other people's comments it helps! Thank you!

starstarstarstarstar 		Another story about Dickson_Mac_D_Owens
by: Anonymous

Two weeks ago, I blocked off someone who calls themselves Dickson Macdonald Owens on Instagram and Google. Claimed to be a military orthopaedic surgeon, widowed for 3 years and has a 10 year old daughter. I admit he did look like a hottie and has lots of female followers. Keeps fit and does post pictures of being "in action" in the operating theatres.

Accepted him on Instagram as I have a private account. Almost immediately I got a message about how awesome I looked, and what a beautiful face I have etc etc. I reminded him I have a husband.

My mistakes were to agree to go across to Hangouts, sent some photos of self and family to someone I thought was genuine, agreed to buy Steam Wallet card because I believed that he was using it to keep in contact with the kid while he has a month left before retiring from service in Afghanistan. He called to speak to me too, so there is a voice attached to the persona. I told him that he seemed to have a Middle Eastern twang to his accent, he told me that he'd been brought up in Mexico.

I reminded him constantly I was married, but he still kept up with the endearments and even sent me a shirtless pic one morning. It got so tiring (and boring) to constantly remind him that I do not like endearments from men I hardly know. Also his grammar in our text conversations do not seem consistent with someone from a medical profession. He even got me to chat to his "daughter" Karen (who he said was 10 - another commenter from June 27 was told she was 5).

When I finally blocked him (after a week of interaction), "Karen" sent me an email asking if I had "left" her dad. What???? I have constantly had to remind him there was no romantic connection there. He then sends me an email to plead with me not to block him and sent a picture of a gunshot wound to the leg.

Not his of course, but boy, what a pathetic move. As he was getting "desperate" to hold onto me, I could definitely see the discrepancies between his language and the claims to be a medical professional. His English language became appalling by that stage.

I have had to change my email address too so he would totally lose track of me. Glad to be rid of this one now. Loser!

Hi ladies, I almost got charmed into a real charming man, but thanks to this site, thank God nothing happened. Handsome about 60 saying that he will soon retire. He friended me on my private Instagram account, which I deleted him after a week of talking and realizing that he was just way too perfect to be true.

He said he was an Orthopedic surgeon working for the UN (United Nations) Peace Keeping Mission in Yemen and previously was in Syria. He was from Spain and coming to the States soon after he retired, which would be soon as he finds the love of his life. I wish this site would let us load photos, because he has many on Instagram.
He can talk you up a storm and is very polite and a gentleman. He’s the type of guy that everyone would love to bring back home and meet mom.

He said his parents passed away and that he was divorced with a 15 years old. Lives in Connecticut. Didn’t ask me for money, but loves to dance, all types of music, embroider (that was hilarious). Would take me to a dinner and the theater. He is trying I bet to get money from everyone.

He asked that we take the conversation through WhatsApp. Oh, he was also a Christian. Wants a polite, Christian woman.

I also ran a reverse lookup on his phone, and his phone has been disabled for months and it gave me a different name completely for that phone. Checked his profile on FB and gives me a different photo.

Yesterday, 01.07.19 hilarryjames contacted me via my Instagram account. Starting Dialog with closed sentences or Questions.

After my asking for his reasons to contact me, he came out with the same surgeon-story - Afghanistan - UN-contract Job. 15 year old son Living in new your - son at Boarding School - late wife carrying his unborn Baby. Hey hey i thought that smells like strong tobacco. He asked me about my private living circumstances - and I answered SnK. Oh, that he did not know. what do you mean:

Single No Kids. -

I cut off after wishing a good night and blocked him. Today I searched for his Name. There exists a doctor named james hilary - but no with RR - living south carolina. After further investigation I found this site.

Thanks for that, and girls be careful what you tell them and never leave sites to whatsapp
so they know your phone number as this could be expensive.

starstarstarstarstar 		How I conned a con man!
by: Anonymous

Like everyone on here, I too was contacted by a gentleman on Instagram claiming to be a doctor in the military serving in Afghanistan. I knew him for maybe 10hrs before he asked me to purchase a Steam Wallet Card so that he would be able to keep chatting with me and his little daughter. He said he needed it because his phone was going to run out of minutes and he could use that card to purchase the minutes he needed.

Many red flags went up for me as both being in the military and a gamer, i knew what he was telling about serving in the military and the wallet card were false. I asked if i could do a background check, he said it would upset him if I did. I told him I would get him the card so he would keep chatting with me.

In the meantime I went to every online place I could find to do a background check to find out who this fool really was. I found a site where you can do a reverse image check on a photo and BOOM!! that site helped me find out this fool really was! It showed me him on Instagram under his "Real" name. He was from Nigeria, he owns a fitness center out there.

I contacted him and told him I purchased the card for him and that I was going to send him a picture of the code on the card. Instead I sent him 2 pictures I copied from the search website of him under his real name, he wrote back and said "Really" blocked me from Instagram, took down his page.

These guys are not smart, read every word they write, study it. You'll see the lies in their words, you can always catch them ( this guy did not write very well ).

Please keep an eye out for a guy that goes by the name MacDonald Dickson or dickson_mac_d_owens

HE IS NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS. His real name is Pablo and he lives in Nigeria, this is the man who tried to scam me.

starstarstarstarstar 		Things that can help you unmask a scammer
by: Anonymous

I am a 59 year old woman who has been tried to cheat saying they are doctors working for the UN. I find this page very good and I would like to make my contribution.

I think the name is not important, because it can be changed very quickly. I think it's more important to know how they act to be able to decide if the person who is trying to talk to you is a scammer (almost always the case).

I am using Instagram and Facebook for a short time and so far they have contacted me twice.
I have not been asked for money because I've been only 2 days, wasting time. At first I believed him but there are some things that have made me suspect and that are repeated:

- They are medical doctors working for the UN in remote countries, for example Yemen and Afghanistan.
- They are very lonely, divorced, or widowed or separated and seek a woman for serious purposes.
- Either they have no family, or the family died or they have no contact with anyone.
- They ask to talk by whatsapp, leave facebook or instagram (they use stolen photos)
- The profile of instagram or facebook disappears, they erase it fast (so that they are not find in the scam). If you ask, they tell you any excuse.
- They ask many questions, even very specific ones. The last one told me that he had saved 700,000 € and that he wanted to retire and enjoy them, with me (!). At the same time he asked me how much I earned, and I did not tell him.
- They talk very weird, you can imagine they are using a translator. No grammar, nothing.
They say what they think a woman may want to hear. Many topics.

And most importantly, this page. Thanks to her I confirmed the scam.

by: Anonymous

My 67 year old mom who is a widow is being scammed by a guy named George Williams but when I did a reverse look up on his picture via an App he is Steve Thompson from California. George claims he has a lot of money and is in the process of selling his solar business in England. He also is a widow and his wife died of cancer. He has a elderly mother in Palm Springs CA and a daughter who is recently engaged.

He told my mom that he needed money to pay for taxes on exporting solar equipment so my mom wired him $15k in September and another $42k because of tax evasion in January. He really wants to marry her and long story short my mom is so manipulated at this point she cut off her entire family.

She is in the process of selling her home. I am afraid she will lose everything and wanted to put the good word out there for anyone else who falls victim to this person.

starstarstarstarstar 		The same or identical scammer
by: Finnish woman

This scammer went by the name Smith Anderson. I met him as a Tinder match on 6th June. He had a Tinder profile with two handsome photos. Said he was 53 years old, working as an orthopedic surgeon on an UN peacekeeping mission in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Told me he was born for a Finnish mother and American father, both parents now dead, widower with a 15-year-old daughter in a boarding school in Massachusetts. He sent several fake pictures of himself and his "daughter".

After I got fed up and suspicious because of his copy/paste stencil love verses and faulty writing and was warning him of blocking him after any further nonsense, he hit the target after only 9 days of messaging. He told that his group had been hit by a firing attack and 6 were killed and he himself was left with a bullet wound in his leg (sent even picture of a the thigh).

Further he claimed that the security company where their salaries and valuables were kept, had also been attacked and they were asked to move their valuables to safer locations. All the nonsense following this "terrible news" was so thick line, that I just cut him off with my despising regards.

Aunt raised him and she's in a nursing home. Met him on Zoosk, couldn't call, just text due to rules on the base in Queens, NY. Set to retire in 1 month. Went to Yemen saying it was for only 2 weeks.

Wanted to marry me after only 5-10 days of messaging. Asked what I are all the time. Sent pics of himself going to work out. Real smooth talker until you denied him or asked one to many questions and then he got very snarky. Son needed a new iPad asked for $1200 to be wired to NJ account. Had the son ask me if i cared about him or his dad or his studies I should send the money. Sent pics of his "son". Then asked if I would pose as his wife and send an email to a lawyer to get him out of Yemen and the attorney name is blancaxxxxxo@writeme.com.

The attorney needed $3200 plus to process the paperwork. I said I couldn't send the money and he got real nasty. He's asked for $200 in itunes cards today. I haven't responded. He has claimed it's so bad, he's stressed and hasn't eaten.

Don't i care...blah blah blah on yeah he has had 3 different phone numbers all with the 516 area code. I asked how many phones he had and he asked why. I said because you used 2 different phones in pics he sent. Is not happy if you are busy when he texts. Beware

A few weeks ago a man sent me a message on match.com claiming he is in Afghanistan, as a doctor on a mission. He has a 22 year old son who is studying at college. He told me that he had been alone for a long time and now searched for love. He asked me to install hangouts so that we could continue to chat there. A wonderful charming man and I thougt why not. It's has been an intense and long conversation and we shared some photos to eachother. I was very careful in the beginning but with the time I started to open up to him.

A week ago he started to ask me for money. It sounded very strange and I was offended. I do not want to meet a man who is only interested in me for money. It is not worth it. I read on the internet that money questions is a big alarm for beeing scammed. I searched around on several websites and social media channels and eventually I found a guy who was very similar to the photos that he has sent to me.

I confronted him about it and he told me to go …. my self. So I said the same to him and now I want to warn other people about this scammer. When I saw this site it occurs to me that it is an extremely usual way of operating. How many people does these people fool? This needs to stop.

The real doctors name is RAFAEL CAMARGO and on his doctor site on facebook he has a lot of pictures.

He and I carried on great conversations. He was warm, kind, genuine. His picture got me. Then he called. He was definitely not the man in the picture, for two weeks I carried on beautiful music, beautiful words by hangouts, pictures. I was in love. But the voice made me suspicious. I dug for answers, talked to my banker, and I asked him if he needed anything. $2500.00.

He was supposed to be an Orthopedic Surgeon serving Syria, through Emory, in Atlanta. Beware, he goes under the name of Bram Lucas. You will never find a more handsome man. I had to bait him, hoping he would not want anything. But, I was sick when he bit.

It literally broke my heart. He kept insisting he was the real thing, but his story is so much like others I read. It was just yesterday I confronted him. Then I was the bad guy

My brother-in-law is being scammed by a "girl" who uses the profile picture of a DEAD porn star by the name of August Ames (reverse Google image search). She claims she is in CA and illegal about to be deported unless she can come up with $1,500. My BIL has sent her AT LEAST $3,000 that we KNOW OF. And he has epilepsy so he lives on government disability which isnt much.

Due to the seizures he isnt very smart and thus cant pick up on subtle things like how "she" types differently depending on who he is talking to. Pretty sure it's a group of people that tag team. He has moved in with his mom so as to have a cell phone bill and an internet bill only and the rest, I presume, is for "her."

HUGE EYEROLL. It makes me sick to my stomach and has my heart very heavy. It isnt fair to my almost 70 year old mother-in-law who also lives on very little disability to pay for increased electric, water usage, toiletries, laundry soap, groceries etc so he can send every dime to someone he only THINKS he knows.

Oh also, they've never talked on the phone. "She" claims that though she is 28 years old her older sister wont let her because they dont have long distance calling. LOL!!!! We have told him that they can do video calls through Facebook. He says her sister is mean and wont let her. Ummm. Weird! LOL!

Seriously not sure what can be done. He battles depression already too. He now says the family hates him and that we are liars. He even makes up lies to try and get money out of family to send to "her." So sad.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are not traceable. WesternUnion wire transfers and banking transfers have a paper trail with a receivers name or bank account accepting the transfer. iTunes cards and various Visa cards are not traceable, you just scratch off and supply the code and that is it. These forms of money can be used for taping up, purchasing items ( such as flowers for someone else), trading or increasing a persons wealth. Also men and woman both should be careful, do not let someone add you to their bank account if you never met and saw them in person.

If you are added to a bank account then you become responsible for the activities and on going’s of the account. For example : if bad checks are written you can be held responsible by law in the United States. Intelligent people create these fraud schemes. Its a shame they do not use their intelligence to better purposes.

He did return only to leave again in a few weeks this time for a business trip. He got stuck away on business and didn’t have the funds to get back home.

When I didn’t do as he requested the texting and phone calls ended. I didn’t buy bitcoin, or wire money. We were supposed to meet but that fell through. We texted, emailed and talked on the phone for months. Video calls never worked properly and I could never see him.

My guy was born in the United States Massachusetts and then moved to Finland with his mother where he grew up. Married and moved back to the states in 2003 or 2006. He said he lost his wife to cancer, but he had no children.

Just another name to add to your list. Never asked for money but its only been a week.

His wife died 5 years ago and he has an 8 yr old daughter who lives with a caregiver, no siblings and his mother died giving birth to him. He started a game with me on WWF and then started messaging me and shortly after he asked to chat in Hangout. Soon began to profess that I was an angel sent to him by God and that he is deeply in love with me. I have become a cynic with online romance so I questioned him on everything and made it very clear that I have nothing, therefore there is nothing for him to gain from me financially or property wise.

With regards to the last two posts he did the same exact story to me and I was stupid enough to send 20,000 for his use of his laptop and I got the same story of traveling and loosing his stuff and I was dumb enough to give money thru western union and just so you know I never heard from him again.

If you give them pictures they can blackmail you and take pictures with your face to a naked picture even put in a video. I don’t know how they do it but a friend of mine had it happen and this guy said he was coming to New York and wants to buy a big house for me and my daughter, a big engagement ring and travel around the world on private jets so if any of you woman believe these guys you are in for a world of trouble for you and you’re family because they find ways to find your family members so please listen as I would not take the time to write this because it cost me lots of money so report to the FBI and get rid of any numbers or email because it will never end.

by: Anonymous

Last summer, I was messaged by this person. He told me he was a civil engineer who worked for Alvin Butz Company in Allentown, Pa and Tishman company in NYC. We chatted online and he was moving the conversation a little quickly. He wanted to meet me at my home and I said no. I would meet him a public place. (I never gave him my address). I work in NYC and he said he would be in the city for business. We agreed to meet for lunch. Of course something came up and he had to leave the country for Cape Town, South Africa.

He messaged me while supposedly traveling and sent me pictures of inside airports. The next message I received was that he had landed and his luggage, laptop, money were all stolen from inside his suitcase from the cargo on the plane.

I told him no one ever stores their laptop and money in there suitcases. He insisted I send him money and a laptop so he could tend to his business. He became very nasty. I stopped all communication with him immediately. I did call Alvin Butz Company to verify his employment and he never worked for or with that company.

If you are from the Lehigh Valley and he seemed to know this entire area very well. Several months later different dating site, he reached out to me under the name of Freidrich Werner. And I blocked him again. He was the 3rd scammer I encountered last year.

The others were Robert Walsh on Match and Anthony Jones/ Thomas Cook on Our Time.

Be very careful. These fraudsters are professional and are out for one thing only which is to romance you out of your money.

Your wife is headed for serious heartache and financial loss at best!

Ask her to put him to the test and FaceTime her in real time holding up a sign with his name.

I guarantee you he will state it isn’t allowed where he is. If she refuses to believe you she is headed for some dangerous grounds. I feel for you trying to protect someone who wants to divorce you (admirable on your part). She needs to WAKE UP!

Anthony Jones/Thomas Cook scammer has reappeared on the Zoosk dating site in the United States. He is posing to be from Indian head, Maryland and 68 years old instead of the 58 years old he said to me. Also now he has children (he just created them). There was never any mention of children before. His photos he is using are still that handsome American businessman Thomas Cook.

I contacted Zoosk and blocked him and alerted the profile as a scammer. Beware, I did my homework. He is a scammer. After talking to him for several months, my credit card was hacked as well as my Verizon phone account. Someone used my phone number to hack in the Verizon account to try to order iPhones online.

Anyone come across Dr. Patrick Morgan? Blue eyed, white male with graying hair and a neat beard. Claims to be Ortho doc working for UN in Syria. Originally from England. Claims Cannot talk on phone because of UN rules lol but a quick videochat shows his face matches his new FB profile.

Sends lots of pics of hearts and flowers and complimentary words. he Found my mom on FB and started writing her on messenger. Claims a young daughter and he is a widower. Said he is 60. Blah blah blah. His FB has a few pics, a cat, a puppy, a girl and has two other foreign female friends showing up. Not his presumed nationality either as slavic or something.

He types well in English but often there are errors that an educated English national would not make.

Hear what I am saying as I got scammed for quite a bit of money. They are all liars and nothing they say is true. They are all from Nigeria and can be dangerous so you should block them and repost to GBI and get off of these dating sites because that’s we’re they are. They don’t look like they’re pictures because it’s not them. So think about this - would a surgical doctor or a surgeon that went to a good medical school need money from you. He should be giving you girls money if he is so wealthy with the kids in boarding school in Europe yet he can’t afford a itune card then they will say they got robbed on a very important mission and beat up.

Now think about this as I have friends who are doctors who do this and they don’t need money from you and they are paid very well and have very good safe accommodation with money and credit cards and can buy an airline ticket and also when doctors go overseas they have all the stuff in triplet because in case they lose something.

Oh they will also say they need money for the internet so they can speak to you if in fact you do chat it’s not the person who picture your looking at.

Ladies please be smart and don’t send pictures. I hope you take my words as true because I did lose money and I don’t want that to happen to someone else

I joined the internet POF dating site. I met a guy named Frank Hartin. He claimed he was a Sargent in the military stationed in Germany and he was retiring in May of this year 2019 and needed an iTunes card to make a phone call.

I'm not going to lie to y'all. I got it for him to see if he was going to be true. When I bought the iTunes card from Walgreens, I called him and told him. He was so excited. I don't mind helping people. After I gave him the information about the card later on he turned around and asked me for $500.00.

I told him to stop calling me and I will not be able to help with nothing else. I know I probably was crazy I may even been stupid, but it was a lesson for me to try. He says he is a Sargeant Major in the Army. That's why I thought about helping him. I will be doing this kind of helping ever again. He is still in the military. I gave him that iTunes card out of the kindness and goodness of my heart and said if he is lying, God is going to get him.

by: Miriam

Ladies, l can identify with many of you. I have been single for over 5 years, a woman of faith. Independent and positive. I too decided to go on one of these sites, meetme.com. So, l began chatting with a gentleman, well at least that's how he expressed himself. Brazilian, wow what a hunk. Said he was overseas and occupation, was petroleum engineer and was about to finish this contract to retire and come sell his 4 bedroom house to a smaller one for the perfect woman, ME.

This gets better, the initial story was that he lost his wife via a drunk driver. A 25 y/o daughter and two grandkids. We have been romancing, pics, 2 calls. However, his voice didn't seem to match the image, I felt. He spoke low, hoarse and a heavy accent, like Nigerian. After reading on this site, l know realize the accent, it wasn't a Portuguese accent. Anyway, we been romancing for 3 weeks now and the other day he asked about my type of work and said you must make huge,$$.

Immediately, that disappointed me, that's inappropriate to ask especially since we've never meet. He has taken his time about personal questions, but quick to romance me, saying he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. We spoke about meeting, relocating.

Then, I asked about his family. Supposedly, mom, daughter and grandkids live in one house in Brazil. His plans was to help his daughter with a business. How true all this can sound. Right ladies? Well I gave him my view about all this. My daughter decided to do research about online scams and alerted me. Now I decided to confront him politely by asking whether he is the real person in the pic and requested we video chat later today.

Initially he said he had a laptop and unable to video chat, so now he would borrow a cell from his crew workers to video chat me there. Which obviously is impossible. Intriguing story isn't it? How we woman begin to fall in 💘 with the image and their sweet persuasive words.

Honestly, I became emotional and easily falling for him. So like one lady said, if he is a real person he might be living his life and here we we're making plans to spend our lives with the man. I truly feel for all you woman and perhaps even men, we don't know that have fallen in these deceitful lies. However, I trust a loving God that loves us, knows what we need and will guide us to meet the genuine man of our dreams.

I hope my story has been helpful, forewarning and at the same time encouraging. There's someone out there that will value and honor us for who we are. This story might have a continuation, provided that there is a possibility of video chatting with the man in the pic. His name is Marco Maddison R
Telles who we can find in Google.

The saddest thing that happened to me was the fact that I had no intention of ever giving my heart to another, but this guy put so much in my head, love letters, poems, sent actual Rose's, told me he loved me and couldnt wait to see me, well that never happened. I gave in and I gave him my heart and told him I'm in love with you, but now the problem is I'm still in love with him and the actual real person and he will never know, hes married with a beautiful wife and 2 beautiful daughters, so I sit here and hurt so bad as if I was back in high school.

The pain is real, the tears are real and my love is real, all this took place within 3 weeks and it has ended and even though I know hes a scammer I miss the poems, the love letters and him so much, but hes not real. I never heard his voice, he would post pictures of himself and with his daughters and he broke my heart and I wasn't even looking for love. I never accept friend requests but his was different, he was looking for someone who can give his daughters motherly love and pampering and wanted a Platonic companion which was fine with me, until he started after seeing me in videos and all of it changed. He lived where I live so I believed everything, I was vulnerable after losing my husband as he after losing his wife, he portrayed himself as an orthopaedic surgeon in Afganastan who wanted to come home, but money got involved and that's when suspicion took over me. I did face recognition on Google and found everything out, it wasn't the person in the picture, I tracked to Ghana got his IP address and reported to FBI, but it hurts so bad to love someone who doesn't even know you exist and it's taking a lot of time, so sorry for ranting

He represented himself as both a neurosurgeon & an orthopedic doctor, from New York working for UN in Syria, & his job was to look after US injured soldiers.

He said his name was Dr Martin Anthony, a widower whose wife had died at the time of the birth of his son. When that happened he was working in Iraq. I was suspicious because in his picture, he appeared quite young. At any rate he advised me that he was 53. He asked me for my info. I kept it vague because I had not joined any singles apps & assumed he had picked my photo because I was wearing a lab coat & stethescope.

We chatted a few times over a couple of days. He volunteered that he had a 15 year old daughter called Rose who was attending boarding school in his country (didn't divulge which was his country) under the care of UN government.

My mom joined match.com back in January and she quickly started talking to Roger Rees claiming to be divorced for 12 years, no kids, no siblings, and both parents have passed. He's originally from Ireland, but grew up in the UK. He was a mechanical engineer, but has since retired and is now a consultant. He claims to be 60 yrs old in good shape/health. I've only seen one picture and he has salt and pepper hair and beard. He says he's currently in Johannesburg, South Africa doing some consulting work.

My sister and I have been trying to tell my mom that this sounds like a total scam, but sadly she doesn't believe us. We're worried she's going to start sending him money. We don't think she has yet. He has some bogus story about having off-shore bank accounts in the Bahamas and can't get his money sent to him, so he is now stuck in South Africa.

Today I googled his name and this post came up.
I only invested three days which it was entertainment for me, but he was ready to get married... lol

Anthony Jones/ Thomas Cook left the states st the end of July last year and has not been back to the states since due to his miscalculation in his financial project. I told him to reach out to his staff or persons he is close to in business to have them help him to get home back to the states. He said it would destroy his credibility and branding. I asked him to send me pictures of the area he was at.

He told me his camera was not working properly on his phone. There was always an excuse or something else that would pop up. Fees for storage for his gold, tariffs fees etc. When I told him that I couldn’t help him, that is when he became angry. He told me that I was lying to him , made up excuses why I couldn’t help him and that was not how a relationship should work.

I explained to him we did not have a relationship, we were only talking on line. He got mad and I haven’t heard from him in awhile. He is most likely targeting another person.

starstarstarstarstar 		Anthony Jones portrays himself as Thomas Cook
by: Anonymous

I met Anthony Jones on Our Times dating site almost 1 year ago. He was charming, educated, charismatic, extensive traveler amongst my other things. We had a lot in common. Over several months , things did not add up. We texted and talked on the phone all the time. He would never send me recent pictures of himself, our video chats were too blurry to really see him. His home address he gave me was not correct when I verified it. He sent me massive flowers several times.

We made arrangements to meet and of course he had to leave the country on business, to return back in a week. Well that never happened, suddenly he got stuck in the country he went to do business in. He miscalculated his expenses for his gold purchase. He said he was in investments. Interesting enough originally he told me he had retire from the UN job as a catastrophic loss assessor for emergency funding to those in need.

Over the months things just didn’t make sense. I found google images search. I found he was using actual photos of American business man and speaker Thonas Cook. When confronted about this find, he said he was Anthony Jones and Thomas Cook was his name behind his business brand. He seem to know a lot of the going ons of Mr Cook. He eventually started to ask me to do things for him. He ordered a lap top and asked for it to be sent to a address in the states to be forwarded to him.

Then he wanted me to get him iPhones, laptops, and do wire transfers to various persons. I said no I wouldn’t do that. That is when he became very controlling and angry in his texts and talks on the phone. He still reached out to me and talked to me. He stopped asking for money for several months. I received flowers for Valentine’s Day and then that’s when the pressure for money began. I just said no I could not help him and he got mad. I dismissed him.

His description is : a very handsome man about 5ft 10 inches salt and pepper hair approximately 56 yrs old. Nice build 175-200 lbs. and occasionally wears glasses. Fashion conscious. Likes Genuine Gucci and Hermès. Wears Cartier love bracelets and other beaded bracelets along with a ring in his photos. No wedding band.

He told me his wife died of cancer. No children. He said they were married 13 years. I am a widow with no children, that was part of our common ground. Last time we texted he wanted me to send him bitcoin so he could pay his living expenses and come home to correct his financial situation and then go back to conclude his business.

I never sent him the bit coins. He wanted several thousand dollars. When reading about the posts about Sea , I was wondering if it could be a similar or same person changing up his profile. Hope this helps someone.

Be alert.

The man you have been speaking to for a few months sounds like this man Sean Dunaway from Ireland who speaks articulately, asks you questions, emails you music, is very polite, and educated. Sean doesn't sound narcissistic. In his writing, he never uses I am only am that is one of the signs the person is not from USA and is a scammer. Sean never asked me for money.

Sean was supposedly in Afghanistan going on secret mission trips. I believe a lot what he said except for the part when the banks over there had issues and he had to send me his money. I felt that was strange. I never went ahead with that or heard back from him.

Did Thomas send you any pictures of himself? Sean who is 5'10 with blue eyes, and spikey hair. A very attractive man. You can find the pictures on Fillipinoinlove, Like You, Wamaba, and Seniorcircles. The picture is described so differently in the profile. Saying this man Robert or whatever name he goes by has brown eyes and black hair meanwhile the guy has blue eyes and brown hair and he might even be married since I saw a ring on his finger.

I am sorry you had to go through that.

This dating site gentleman is attractive, attentive and charming and states he does not need your money but stuck in another country trying to get his large gold purchase out of and back home. Wants you to send wire transfers to shippers, purchase iPhones and computers to offset the shipping fees and tariffs.

The latest is he wants you to purchase bitcoin and send it to him to help his cause to get home. Uses sunnysmile2013 . Found on OurTime dating site and probably several others. Very romantic, poetic, send music and songs. Great conversations, educated, and very polite. Supposed to be born in the US but raised in Finland.

Has anyone out there encountered him on the sites and what happened (what was the outcome) I talked to him for months before he asked for anything. Lately, it seems like there are 2 of him. One gentleman who is very polite and nice and the second one with narcissist tendencies and insecurities. Anyone encountered this guy????

Did you find the way Sean wrote was very militant? I did. Sean would say Hello, How are you and how was your night? Always thanking you for the heartfelt emails and Prayers. He had mentioned he was on a secret mission.

Besides his given name, the location (nationality), height and and writing traits (hey ～, long messages, poetry-like style etc. ) his email address also makes me suspect this perpetrator could be John Richard Power from Dublin, ROI. John Power's email used to be shamrock787@gmail.com.

Shamrock is the call sign for Aer Lingus where he works as a pilot. 787 should be his favorite aircraft which are Boeing. Aer Lingus does not fly Boeing any more, though.

He sent me pictures of a blonde headed guy with a beard. He said he had a daughter and that his wife had divorced him because of his work schedule. He contacted me on Words With Friends first; then through Hangouts.

He told me he was very wealthy because he worked on oil rigs in a ownership position and he’d never ask me for money. I didn’t hear from him for several days and then, when he contacted me again he asked for a $100 iTunes card so that he could have a gift for his daughter for her birthday.

He said he’d pay me back later as he just didn’t have access to his bank account while on the oil rig. I told him that I knew he was scamming me and then I blocked him.

by: Maryellen

I was on Christian Mingle Dating Site on Friday, March 8th when a message popped up saying Hey Pretty One I am closing my account since I found my partner on here, however my friend would be interested. He is a forty-nine year old widower and who is a gentle person.

This is his email address cptsean111@gmail.com

He would be happy to hear from you. I sent this man Sean an email. The very next day he sent a lengthy email. He goes by the name Sean Dunaway. He told me his wife and 2 kids died in a car accident over in UK. He has 1 remaining daughter Florence in a boarding school in Ireland. Florence was taken care by the Grandmother until she got sick and is now in a medical facility. Sean told me he met his wife in the military and she eventually retired to take care of the kids. He did say lovely things to me to proclaim his love so fast. Sending me songs. I was interested in him. I am widow.

Sean put in for an early retirement. Waiting for the paperwork to be processed might take 3 months or earlier. He wanted to come To The United States to live in my state to establish a new life with his daughter Florence and myself and to get into Real Estate Properties or become a Counselor at a school for underprivilege kids. The last email that I had received stated that he was going to send me 1 million six hundred dollars and for me to put the money into my account or open a safety deposit box or even keep at my place.

Take out fifty-thousand to open a business or wait until he comes to the States. Sean was explaining issues with the banks/storage company in Kabul, Afghanistan. I am so proud of myself that I didn't fall victim to his scam. I had sent him an email stating that I am not comfortable with this situation. I never heard from him again. I do feel bad for the solider he was impersonating.

The pictures he sent me of the soldier was about 5'10, short spikey blond hair shaved on the sides, and blue eyes. I forgot to mention the man Sean told he was born in Dublin, Ireland. I hope more women come forward with their stories.

Thomas Surman using Captain Thomas Lindegaard Madsen’s pics. Contacted first on Word With Friends. I have been talking to him for months. The first one seemed legitimate & said he was from Pittsburgh. Went on Vacation to Germany but contact was patchy. Then he accepted a new contract and contact stopped for about 10 days then Thomas 2 took over.

Phone was supposedly stolen and could I help him get his money from Crystal Securities.Could I write a letter saying I are his Beneficiary so I can get my money when I come to Australia. I fell for it and had to pay $2500 USD registration fee. ($3,524.75) which I insisted go to an Australian a/c. A dodgy one named CBA a/c.. Crystal insisted that 3K didn’t go through so Thomas 2 rang up distraught once again. You have to repay the 3K and you’ll get the other 3K back. I fell for it again and again an Australian a/c.

Then Crystal said we need the original deposit slip but T2 didn’t have it so could I pay $1500!for a new one. I refused. This went on for some weeks and then Crystal had a new email address ufor the ‘missing money' & sent me an email wanting all my personal details which I refused & videos of the money being counted but in the meantime I got a message from Thomas 1 saying his phone had been stolen so I had 2 of them.

I found out that the real Captain Thomas is gay & is married to his man. I asked T2 & he said he was changing to being straight lol and if I hadn’t been scammed I would have laughed but I was still trying to get my money back. T2 & T1 disappear and then reappeared to help me with return of the money which will never happen. I am still in contact and it is a very clever scam known as a 419 & obviously run by a call centre with a multitude of Thomases.

Watch out for anyone purporting to be a ships captain as these people are diabolical & have an answer for everything.

Met on Words with Friends. Claimed to be an orthopedic surgeon working for the UN stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan. He claimed to be German, moved to California as a teenager, went to medical school in Texas, moved to Atlanta Georgia with his wife who passed away 2 years ago. He has a daughter in boarding school while he is on duty. He owns a large house in Georgia but wants to spend a month with me to meet me, my family, and friends. He wants to marry me and have a mother for his daughter Annie. He writes beautiful, long emails professing his love and excitement for coming home in a few weeks. He has a very consistent schedule and checks in with me at the same times every day.

When I first discovered the scam I told him he sounds like a scammer because they all speak the same way. Very inconsistent grammar and soo many typos. He told me maybe it is the Talibans who are somehow screening and copying our conversations.

I’ve asked why his name does not show up on any medical licensing boards where he lived and he said as a UN doctor they are at risk for releasing sensitive information because of the Talibans so their names do not appear.

He insists on explaining everything when he finally comes home since he is very restricted in Kabul.

Early on I used tineye to search the photos he sent me and didn’t come up with anything. Just now I used google reverse image search and discovered he is using the photos of Dr. Hamilton Janquera! A Portuguese doc who posts videos on YouTube!

I have made it clear that I have no money to offer. But he continues to chat with me and asks for photos, even inappropriate photos. Luckily I never did so but I would like to warn everyone that they might use your photos to lure other unsuspecting victims. So just do not send anything!

I feel very manipulated and betrayed. I am tempted to find out what he plans to do when the time comes for him to come home but I also don’t want to waste any more time on this bozo.

He is a marine engineer from Florida and the company sent him to Nigeria, where he lost his wallet with card and of course money and he asked me money because he has to pay his workers and continue work for a month.

I said no. So many mistakes when we're chatting, lying and didn't remember what he said to me. When I tried to call him he didn't accept and said there is no cam on his phone.

Other one is Antony. First time he wrote hi my name is Antonio. He is a usa soldier deployed in Afghanistan with peace keeping mission. He is a orphan. Parents died in a car accident. In about a month he said he was suddenly deployed to Nigeria. Here its a bad place and he wants to leave that country. He asked me for IiTunes but I said I never heard about it.

He claimed to be an Orthopedic surgeon working in Ghana.

Said he had gone through a difficult divorce and left his practice in Ames, Iowa to go on a mission to Africa to help children because he never had any of his own. Claimed both his parents had died in a "ghastly car accident" when he was 8 and he was raised by his aunt and uncle. I searched medical licenses with the Iowa Board of Medicine and there was no such name.

Then he claimed he has gone to residency at UCSF and still had a California license. I searched the Medical Board of California and no such name. I confronted him with that and then told him I'd searched all Orthopedic Surgeons registered with the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and found no such name.

He became indignant and accused me of having trust issues. Then he sent me a photo of him jogging down a wide, city avenue lined with palm trees and tried to tell me it was in Ames, IA. I laughed and told him I'd grown up in the midwest and assured him that no palm trees grew in the midwest.

He then told me I just hadn't been to all parts of Ames. Then he again accused me of having trust issues and said he could not risk getting hurt again. LOLOLOL!!

I called him out on it and he actually claimed they went to medical school together and that he stole his identity and that he went so far as to have plastic surgery to look like him! Can you believe that bunch of crap!!! Worse yet, I was upset but started to buy into it because he was so upset telling me the story.

I never gave him any money but he did want to send me a suitcase of money by a UN diplomat so I could transfer the money to him. Right! Not! Said it was his money owed to him for his UN contract and he needed it to pay back supplies that he used on children he helped that should have been used on soldiers to the tune of $39k. When I wouldn’t accept the suitcase, he wanted me to transfer cash via credit card and he would pay me back but claimed it wasn’t my money anyway. What??? Wanted me to increase my credit card limit so I could do this.

I said no. Then he wanted Amazon cards for phone units and Google cards. It just goes on and on and I said no. He got mad and said he was upset because I wouldn’t support him.

Oh well. I’m not stupid!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Civil Engineer based in Syria
by: Anonymous

A friend of mine got involved with a guy she just met through a dating/marriage site. He claimed to be a Civil Engineer working for the UN from Canada but based in Syria. As per the site, the uncle created the profile looking for a suitable marriage partner for his nephew and gave details of the guy in question and asks the girl to contact him. According to the guy his parents had died in a car accident and he was brought up by his uncle.

My friend and the guy chatted for a while and whenever my the friend asked if they could talk on the phone his only response was that there were in a war zone and are not allowed to make any unencrypted calls or use cameras there.

Also told my friend that he has completed his existing project so that he could come and meet her. Applied for his leave and paid for the Visa arrangements but asked my friend to pay for his tickets (USD 1500)

This did not go well with my friend so we did a background check including doing an online search on the persons whereabouts and tracking the phone number provided. That's when we found out about the online dating scams. Luckily she did not transfer any money and when my friend told the guy that she was unable to arrange for the cash the guy got abusive (verbal abuse) and was showing his tantrums- now his phone is unreachable and his profiles on all social media have been removed.

Please beware these scammers can go to any length to take out money from any of us vulnerable ladies

by: Anonymous

The post regarding Fred Fabregas Fabio reminds me of an Irish airman John Richard Power on Veggieconnection, a real pilot for Aer Lingus, and sudden appearance of wife though he has been on that site as a single man seeking wife/lifetime partner. His lawyer (John Power intimidated me not to report his misbehavior to third party by implying lawyer and police, lol!).

I had contacts from the police, not the Irish Police Garda, about John Richard Power and learnt that multiple employers of Aer Lingus had been engaged in human trafficking for over a decade by means of workplace resources (from Spain to Dublin Int’l Airport then the third countries) and one of them involved in money laundering.

It was John Richard Power and his employer that want to avoid investigations by law enforcement agencies and authorities. In this case, Irish police was not willing to solve the crime in a proper manner – actually US or/and UK police urged them to work on. Initially, the Iris police saw more than 10 Aer Lingus staff would be arrested but the exposure didn’t go further and the prosecution did not.

Beware, John Rochard Power left Veggieconnection but he is on Facebook. His Guatemalan wifes name is Elizabeth. Your personal/privacy information and photo of yourself can be used to create FAKE IDs for illegal immigrants, gangs such as MS-13 and undocumented asylum seekers.

It seems Fred fabregas fabio is still spinning the same story to all women he chats to on line. When I talked to him he even had a friend email me which was supposedly a lawyer trying anything to make money. Beware he hangs round on Facebook and he has no picture of himself and he is under fabregas Fred and he is one devious person.

Gets very angry when you doubt that he is a veterinary doctor. I think he is either a failed one or a dreamer. He got very angry with me one night when I chatted with him and threatened me. I showed the police as I was frightened he may have contacts or for all I know fabregas could be in any country.

One time he got some woman to chat with me on Facebook and it was supposedly his ex wife but didn’t make much sense as she was supposedly still in love with him but didn’t want to get him out of Nigeria. Fabregas also claims his phone does not accept incoming calls and yet one night I rang the number and he must have answered it and not shut it off as I could hear other voices in a foreign language.

He is a liar and takes your money with no intention of returning it. About time this low life was caught and banned off internet.

His wife died a few years ago, his mother is in a mental institution, and his only son is in a boarding school. He has been working for the United Nations and claims that he is being detained in the United States for leaving his work contract without permission, in Kabul.

While I know without a doubt that this is not real my mother refuses to accept it. She has been talking to him since February of 2018. Now, almost a year later she has sent large amounts of money (how much? I don’t know because he advises her to not share information with any of the siblings because we wouldn’t understand the love they have for each other).

My mom is a nurse and recently divorced, she’s naive and gullible. She is also beautiful and genuinely a good Christian woman. She also suffers from manic depression and I don’t know how to save her from the heartache or to make her understand that she is in fact being scammed.

by: Anonymous

Contacted on words with friends by U.N. doctor stationed in Kubal, widow for five years, two kids he hasn’t seen since Feb, seven years through a ten year contract, blah, blah, blah. Never got a chance to ask for money because I called him out on his crap.

"Time for some serious truth to happen. The only Christopher Zoumalan who is a doctor, is in practice with his brother Richard in California. Their Facebook and Twitter pages check out. Your fake two do not. Yes, you included that you were born in Sweden on your one page and the other you are living in Iowa. The phone number you are using, 1-337-435-2305, is a Louisiana number which matches the story you told about moving from Sweden to the US. No where through the United Nations are you listed as a doctor nor even as an employee. All U.N. doctors are listed with the U.N. and searchable through them.

You are not part of their medical team. That made me contact a good friend who lives in Sweden to have them check out your medical license as you said you went to college there and then moved to the US. You are not on record for a medical license in Sweden nor even in the US as these are all searchable.

So what is the origin of the name Zoumalan? White and Hispanic, no European. So obviously I switched back to searching through Sweden and there are no census records of any Zoumalan living in Sweden. And records in the US show California and Alaska. So back to the phone number and interestingly enough it’s a fixed VoIP or in layman’s terms, Skype or Google Voice with the original carrier being Charter Fiberlink.

So this is not your normal cell phone and obviously is not the number that would have been assigned by the U.N. to the IPad you stated they gave you. But then again there is no record of you working for the U.N. So then I began wondering about the death record of your wife who died of cancer five years ago but there are no death records on file for Louisiana or Iowa which is where you said you live. No marriage licenses or birth records either. So that leads me to believe you are trying to steal the identity of the real Zoumalan.

Interesting don’t you think? So my only question is...who are you really? And don’t try to play me again. I am more connected than you will ever know or be able to find out. Try the real truth or take a hike. And I would think you would have begun your recent message by saying you were okay but exhausted since there was an attack on 12/24-25 in Kabul leaving 40 dead and 29 injured not counting the suicide bomber and the gunmen who held people hostage for 8 hours. You probably forgot to check the news and had no idea this happened."

Guess who hasn’t responded since I sent this message? You got it...scammer!

by: Anonymous

Watch out for Dr Travis Scott FB profile says Destin Florida. Says he is a 50 yr old neurosurgeon and has been widowed for 3 years. 15 year old daughter in Boarding school In Italy. He will tell you to speak on an app called hangout.

Do not fall for this crap. He basically fell in love with me in 3 days and was calling me "dear". I asked him what grade his daughter was in and he said 4th. I said 15 years old and in 4th grade? He quickly said it was a typo.

I pretty much set him up by asking him to FaceTime me so I could see his face and he states that in Somalia hospitals it’s against policy to talk on phones or do videos. He has an answer for everything. I told him I googled him and there is no one named Travis Scott who is a neurosurgeon. Told him I’m contacting the authorities and he should be ashamed of himself for lying to women on the internet.

I then blocked him. Always do your research ladies and never give a guy money under any circumstances.

His second wife has cheated on him?

That's a new version! Passed away from cancer and car accident used to be the scammers' favourite stories, though.

Individuals who divorced more than two times definately got personal problems in them, apart from online fraud.

You will come across a married man posing as a single, after a while his wife suddenly shows up and tells you they are married. And then that phony man tries to persuade you to marry before their divorce.

Scammers may create lots of stories about their marriage and they are not limited to West African. Actually or online romance. Lots of Irish were caught in Continental Europe, US and Australia.

I am afraid I am being targeted as well through tinder with this great looking guy claiming to work for the UN in a medical center in Kabul with a grandson in the US. In the beginning all the facts matched so there was no reason to be suspicious. but I just something of his texts I found word for word on scam sites.

He calls himself William Hansen, Danish and having worked in India as well. His ex wife cheated on him and broke his heart.

Please watch out.

In sure the money questions would have come at some point on time. The setup with the grandson is already there. Beautiful pics but I guess when it is too good to be true, it often isn’t.

With regard to a question of Pedro Jerome, I think this is a scam case, but as other comments say there are a number of companies behind a guy you are communicating with. Besides, it is not uncommon that girls are sold to brothels by guys (pimps) in the US and Canada (within each countries and sometimes cross boders).

But what I am concerned about is misuse of personal information that was given to a scammer. This data could be sold amongst multinational criminal organizations for creating fake ID that can be used for financial fraud as well as illegal immigration including human smuggling (lots of Chinese were coming to the UK from Spain & Italy via Ireland: Aer Lingus let Chinese illegal immigrants go through immigration customs at Dublin Airport by means of their workplace resources).

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/18m-peoplesmuggling-ring-involving-aer-lingus-staff-has-italian-mafia-and-chinese-triad-links-35392856.html

Thousands of undocumented immigrants from the Northern Triangle of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras that are trying to enter may use fake ID made from stolen personal information.

Why would you provide him your personal banking info?!?!?! He will steal your identity, involve you unwittingly in criminal activity. Have you not read these posts? They all say they will send you money that doesn’t arrive and you get stuck dealing with the authorities and bank.

Dear Anonymous: Is this person asking for your bank account information so that he can "put money into it?" I would be very skeptical if I were you and not give your bank information out to anyone! How long have you been in contact with this person?

I gave him my banking information....he kept asking for my security questions..... I deleted my information out of our messages and he blocked me. But I will be calling my bank to tell them to switch everything just in case.


OK girl. You should not have given your banking information, but you stop contacting him and you intend to ask your bank to change account information, pin # etc. that's fine.

Scammers may try to steal money from your bank account, but members of criminal organization and gangs may use your account for money laundering or other form of unlawful activities.

It is important to stop contacting but you had better keep records of communication with the individual you had photos (might be stolen from other men but still needed to be kept), IP address, phone number, email address ground mail address.

It is for protecting yourself in the case you were suspected as a criminal as well as being victimized.

First of all, you must report the administrator of Hinge about this individual. Keep all records of communication including incomming phone number.

What you should worry about is not for a creepy stalker. There must be culprits behind Charles Hutson whom that's sounds like a saint. I don't know how much information you have already given him but personal data is a tresure for a criminal organisation even though they can't get money from you.

Those perpetrators may creat fake ID with personal information for money laundering, human smuggling, credit card fraud and mortgage fraud. Stolen ID can cause another crime and victims. If you notice something wrong (recieved unkown letter from financial institues etc.), go to the local police.

starstarstarstarstar 		Scammer on Hinge!

Now reading these messages, I feel totally naïve. There is a guy named Charles Hutson on Hinge, and the pictures of him look very attractive - says he's 41, 6'0, lives in Long Island City, sometimes drinks and doesn't smoke, or do drugs or pot and it says "Healthcare at UN" and that he studied at L.A County Harbor / UCLA Medical Center and is Catholic and is Conservative. I messaged him and he messaged back right away (now, I've met a few people from Hinge and other dating apps thus far, and they've been cool, so this is the first scam I've encountered...)

The first red flag was that his English was really bad, so I thought he might have been born in another country or spoke another language; and don't get me wrong, I speak a lot of languages and am kind of looking for someone who is well-travelled and worldly. But he said he was from England and that his father was British, and his mother was from Georgia so I searched his name as I should have done before. I gave him my number, and I just called him out on it and texted him that I saw a lot of scams, and he replied, "For real and you believed it?"

I'm not responding. How sad and he said he was divorced but no kids and he kept asking me about my career and he wouldn't answer my questions until I pressed him about where he was, and he said he was a trauma and cosmetics surgeon and was helping troops in in West Africa who just had had a terrorist attack.

I mean, he must be a saint if it's true, but now after reading this, it seems too good to be true. Thanks for these messages - I sadly sent him my website already, so hope he doesn't stalk me. Very scary.

Of course, the answer is, because they are in a hurry to scam you. They know they are getting ready to hit you up for money so it's not normal to trust someone you don't know!

I asked if his wife had their son at 40, he said she him at 35. Duh. When I pointed out the dates didn't add up, he insisted that his dates are correct.

The reason that a Western widowed doctor goes to work in a war zone while leaving a young child at boarding school who has just lost his/her mother is:

Such doctors love to see blood, mountains of dead bodies, patients screaming in field hospitals and people killing each other.

Shortage of doctors is one of the social problems in the UK and North America. There's no rational reasons the state or government encourage experienced surgeons to go to Iraq, Afganistan or Syria. No hospitals and clinics want to loose such precious resources.

starstarstarstarstar 		Dr. Barry Piloson
by: Anonymous

I was contacted through Words With Friends by a Dr. Barry Piloson. He claimed to be a United Nations surgeon stationed in Syria. First red flag was his WWF name is Roland Calbatical. When I questioned this, he says he used a fake name on WWF because being on social media isn't allowed in UN. Ok We've talked for a couple months. Professed his love for me.

He is so very charming! Seems genuinely concerned about me. His story fits the profile of many women here. He is from Russia. Was an orphan. Adopted by a family in the US. Moved to US when he was 14. Was married. Wife died in childbirth. Has a 16 year old son in a boarding school. Joined the UN after his wife died. Loves me. Wants to leave the UN.

He needs money to fulfill his UN obligations. Wanted me to send a letter to the UN saying we were going to get married and he needed to leave Syria. Blah Blah. Sent me fake emails from the UN with poor grammar.

I pretended like I was going to send money to him, but blocked him instead. Actually, it was very hard to block him because I had an emotional connection to him. I actually loved him.

But my mind was stronger than my heart. I had talked to him on the phone through WhatsApp. His phone number was from Massachusetts. That didn't make sense either, since he told me he grew up in California. His accent was not Russian. Sounded Nigerian to me. I have some Nigerian friends. He sounded so similar.

Warning signs I ignored:

*Called me baby, honey, love
*Asked me if I had eaten today
*Concerned about our girls (actually they are my girls but he immediately called them as his own)
*Dead wife
*Teenager in boarding school
*No family
*Phone doesn't work good for sending pictures (although he sent a few) They were not him
*Accent
*Poor grammar
*Would rather text than talk on phone
*Spoken English poor
*Needs money

There is so much more I could say that I should have watched out for. Be careful out there ladies.

They grab your heart and steal your soul.

starstarstarstarstar 		So many widowed doctors in war zone ?!?!
by: Anonymous

What makes the Western widowed doctor go to work in Iraq, Afganistan or Syria even at the cost of leaving his underaged child at boarding school who lost his/her mother? Doesn't make sense at all. They are all scammers.

Why such medical professionals ask for money to people whom they met online? Initially the UN, or the country/the military that deploy a doctor take care of their life and financial procedures for them. He may ask aid to the hospital he had worked for if he is trusted by the managerial staff and his boss there, or his friends will help him if he is an individual worth giving/lend money.

Don't waste your money on a person that cannot manage himself and does not have any friends who does not hesitate to offer help, and instead demand cash to ladies on the internet.

starstarstarstarstar 		The United Nations Doctor in Syria
by: Sheila

Hi - he just contacted me. He is now going under the name PHILIP KANNAN. I searched online for him and as an orthopaedic surgeon there should have been something - but nothing. English definitely isn't his first language.

He seems to target widows. Probably thinks we're rich. His photograph on facebook looks attractive. I said I'd lived in Toronto where he says he lives when he is not working for the UN but he didn't ask me where abouts or anything about it.

I have blocked him from everything. I think his email is under the name Philipfurtune879 - so don't get taken in.

starstarstarstarstar 		UN Doctor in Syria
by: Tracy

I believe my mother is being scammed. A "doctor" who says he works for the UN and is stationed in Syria has been speaking to my mother. He met her on WWF and moved the conversation to another format. She says he keeps asking her to write a letter so he can get out of work for awhile and "come home", as in to the US. Says he has a 10 year contract to work there and he has 3 years left, but a letter from a relative would help get him out of his contract.

This all sounds very fishy and stupid but Mom is falling in love. He hasn't asked for money yet but it's only been a couple of months. My mother is elderly and widowed and I need to know if anyone can shed light on this.

His name is supposedly Richard Afleck.

Fake Dr. McCoy: When I mentioned that I cannot find his practice in Canada he then stated he was a dr working with the UN and he was sorry I didn't understand him

Yes, you can check up the license verification sites run by the states (US) or professional bodies(Canada) that you can find the year of registration, disciprilinary histories, the school a member was educated, and the current workplace.

Even if they are appointed by the UN and work outside of the US or Canada, his name should be on the directory of medical license basically. Scammers may misuse and impersonate the individual in the license then you still cannnot trust when you find the name in the directory though.

I just had another one who kept telling me of these dreams he's had of me helping others and what I was doing. When I said I told you this stuff he said that he went back through the text and I had not. I started keeping track of who I told things to and realized he must be another person I was speaking to. The last straw was when he told me he sees me helping someone with either a son or daughter-not sure which - from far away.

And if someone asks for help please help them for "I envisioned you as an angel with open wings" (yes, put on your boots because it's getting deep.) I told him, yes, I did help a girl from another country and he said, oh no, this is a son for sure and a few hours later one of the other people I was texting asked however embarrassing it is, for me to send money to help his son.

I blocked and reported both of their profiles.

Another scammer trying to pretend he's a doctor. When I question where he practices he becomes vague or does not answer for a day. One day he will say, no he's not a medical dr, then the next day he's a neurosurgeon in Canada. When I mentioned that I cannot find his practice in Canada he then stated he was a dr working with the UN and he was sorry I didn't understand him. When I asked what site I could verify his practice he suggested google hangout. Really? That's not a site for professionals - idiots

by: Anonymous

With regard to the coment how to catch a scammer:

8. Talking about investmest after a few talks
9. Easily falls in love and has a lot of plans
10. He will meet you as soon as possible and get
married

You will find that:
8' Scammers always want to go "hang out" shortly after you met on the dating site or SNS in order to get out of monitoring by the administrator of the site or notices from other users of SNS. In addition to investment for real estate etc. for the future of you and his child, CHARITY is also a tool to hook you (e.g. protection of enviroment, save children in need, shelters for unfortunate animals). In the previous comment below, a lady talked about a scammer who called himself as a prince from the middle east and demanded some money persistently.

9' Scammers talk about their dreams that may include travel around the world with a special lady like you, start up a new business, to buy a new house to live with you etc.

10' You may think Dating Scammers are over the computers, but it is not uncommon that they live near you maybe in the next town, or some scammers travel across the continent or even the Atlantic Ocean to see you within a month.

by: Anonymous

My plan is to go into investment after my Retirement and start a new family with the woman I wish to marry, and I also plan to return to North Carolina where I spent all my life with my family.

Dr. Frank William associates with John Power, the Irish pilot (real airman works for the national flag carrier that has produced three arrests for sexual assault and human trafficking on duty by means of workplace resources last year)on Veggieconnection. In the profile on that dating site John Power says " I have a great career and a life but I still think it would be nice to have somone to share with"
.
In the private emails, John Power talks to you about the company run by his parents and a brother is in financial problems due to the recession in the US and his family has decided to fire employees who had worked for them for some time and also neibours in the community: John Power also tells you about his dream to have animal sanctuaries for rescued livestock animals after retiment from the airline.

INVESTMENT may sound much better than being asked just for money for the reasons of: my old mother is ill and medicare costs a lot; get me out from the warzone, I love to see my child at a boarding and and introduce you right away.

INVESTMENT gives the impression that you can share the common goal with the MR. RIGHT(scammer), not just to bestow favor to SOMEONE SPECIAL (scammer) in the UNFORTUNATE situation.

Ladies, you should imagine there are culprits behind Mr. Right/ Someone special. A perpetrator may work together with a company or is a member of gangsters/mafia.

Claimed as an engineer, project manager, investor from Manchester, UK. Widowed, as wife died of cancer 3 years ago, has a 22 years old daughter who just recently married to a Turkish guy,and in search of spouse.

His modus operandi:
1. His profile (in the dating site), is too good to be true - portrayed as a pious, religious man.
2. He will be such a sweet talker and tries to be as charming as he could.
3. Reachable via Viber and WhatsApp with this number +447542050376, with suspicious profile picture.
4. Would be reluctant to share pictures. He has a profile at LinkedIn too. Just search his name.
5. Claimed to have a project done in Indonesia in weeks to come, and tells about investing in a losing company 2ergo, and will be getting 10% increment of profit soon.

So ladies, please be aware and be critical.

My red flag moment was when he mentioned about his investment to a stranger i.e. ME (too soon-after just talking for a few times, something that normal people dont do. And his refusal to send me his ID picture/passport picture (how ironic that it was he who always mentioned about being transparent and honest in a relationship). After 5 days of communication I sensed that something is not right when he was being too bossy and demanding. Plus the refusal to give ID/passport.

And I decided to make my own digging. Luckily I found this thread. And thank god, I saw his name mentioned by one of us (dated back in 17 August 2018).

Don't fall for sweet words and promises. Always be suspicious. These people are highly trained and good at manipulating. They will gain your trust as much as they could. Always trust your gut feeling.

If something sounds too good to be true, believe it. That is what I did.

First I must say that I am not computer savvy, but I knew my granddaughter was. I shared with her the story of a man who reached out to be my friend. Told her that within 2 days he asked me to switch over to Hangouts. At the same time he was suddenly in love with me and wants to marry me. We have been texting for less than 2 weeks.

She tried the reverse imaging, but found nothing and then she found this site. Let me tell you the exact same lies as with a lot of others. He's an orthopedic surgeon from Washington, D.C. under contract with the U.N., his wife died, (though he never said how), has a 14 yr. old son in a boarding school in Iowa City, has been waiting for the perfect woman to come along to fulfill his life, yada yada yada.

Today he asked me to write a letter to the U.N. for emergency leave so he can come home to marry me. HE composed the letter I should write to the U.N. I am sure it is not the man who's picture is on F.B. I am sure he is NO type of doctor. The whole time I kept thinking that for being a doctor he couldn't write good sentences. Every once and a while he would throw in words that were being used improperly.

I called him on them last night and got no answer why he was so off. He uses the name Victor George, but in the letter that I am supposed to send to the U.N. he used Dr. George Victor. As soon as I let him know I am on to him I WILL be contacting the U.N., but not to bring his lying behind to the U.S.

No doubt the next step would have been to send money.

starstarstarstarstar 		UNHHC- doctors without borders, Dr Hensley Butler
by: Anonymous

My story is about the same. His name is Dr Hensley Butler a pediatrician with doctors without borders in Jordon / Syrian border. Born in Brazil, but came to states to attend Emory University in Atlanta Georgia. Wife and baby daughter killed in car wreck 5 years ago. 14 year old son in boarding school in Atlanta.

Met him on Instagram, very nice profile in Scruggs and another pic with nice pullover. Even a pic of son, some had even commented the son really growing and being 14 now. 2 days later he suggested moving to hangouts because of security, then, wanted a picture of me, and he shared pictures of the compound at great risk.

I found the same pictures on google. Couple were stock images from Getty images. Then he started pouring on the sweetness. He did send me a pic of himself at church services and his son Luis at boarding school. Then he gave me his son's email, to write to his son, then son, emailed me telling how happy he was and that God sent me to his Dad and him so we could all have happy life.

Asked if I would accept him as my child and he wanted to come stay with me before dad got back to the states next August. I got a voice call this morning. He was at great risk for him to be calling. Then he wants to see me during holidays, but, I have to contact the UN by writing email to get vacation certificate. It has to be a family member such as spouse, or other family member but son cant as only 14, or fiancé. Why, well because that is the way the UN does it. He gets agitated when I keep questioning him about it. I merely pointed out, he was adult, with a son in the states, and owns a home in Atlanta, he should be able to request his own vacation certificate. He got very agitated at my questions. I told him I wouldn't do it until I did more research.

I want to believe in him so bad. But, I don't believe the pic of the man I have is who I am talking to. He said he didn't have a fb page, and there are 3 separate profiles, that are absolutely not him, and they are all African/Nigerian or something.

Then I opened up the pages, and my doctor is all three at some point, his pictures were as profile pic at some point. There was another profile and all pics were the ones I have of my doctor, but are deleted a day after I asked him about the different profiles and said he had been hacked.

Profile on Instagram has also been deleted. Yes, I not believe it a scam, but I sure don't want it do be. Last thing, he said he didn't get a monthly salary, but received an allowance and all his monies from his contracts as being in United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and was in securities and couldn't get it until his 3 years contract was up next August, and also have 20 years with UNHHC, as doctors without borders and retire with them.

He is also having hard communication with his son because his son's phone broke and he is having a hard time getting him new one because he just gets an allowance, and right now he has to use his guardian's computer at boarding school.

Wish I confirm who man in picture really is?

for you to claim his 12.5 millions (USD) contract money working for the UN and United states government with a three year contract from 2017 in refugee camps in Aleppo in Syria. He is definitely not on the UN lists of doctors working in Syria. As UN had pulled all humanitarian doctors in Syria since Dec 2016 due to continuous bombing as UN could not guarantee the safety of the medical personnel.

He claimed he is a neurosurgeon and this is untrue as when he was asked what types of clips he does and did he clip a brain aneurysm but he didn't know the answer by ignoring or side tracking you. Any qualified neurosurgeons will definitely give you the answer.

He has a team of different recipients for you to make payments into his account before you can claim on his contract money.

The recipients are:-
1) Mohammed Zayan Kuldic Menegar
IBAN no: AE09 0240 0245 8009 3187 901
Bank address: Islamic bank in Dubai

2)Onyedika Jahswill Morah
IBAN no: AE35 0240 0015 2009 0055 001

starstarstarstarstar I have been scammed
by: Anonymous

This is the same Dr David Williams who had scammed me for an undisclosed sum of money as I been a fool desperate for love. I wish I had read this article before as I have been talking with him for about 8 to 9 months. Same story, a UN neurosurgeon working in Syria refugee camps with a three years contract and he been there for a year which is worth 12.5 million USD for the claim if you became his wife.

The fund is for the family only. So you can apply for his vacation. To do that you have to apply to United Nations. He said he is from the State, New Heaven in Connecticut a 59 year old widower, wife died in second childbirth 5 years ago with a 12 year old son called Jerry who lives with a guardian while he works in Syria. He is very polite and loving, every sentence is my love, my dear and starts off with how was your night when he contacted me every morning. We spoke three time a day. His spelling and English gave me the impression that English is not his first language.

He contacted me on skype and we started to chat for a while and he asked to change it to Hangouts later although he consistently refused to give me his mobile number and said he is not allowed cameras or mobile phones as they were confiscated by the authority.

I don't know what he looks like as he won't give me a picture of him. Same thing I have asked to pay money into different bank accounts in Dubai to pay for his leave. Once you made one payment, there is another one to make. It will be either his flight to come to meet you, the marriage certificate or his 8 body guards, four on the plane and 4 in the airport before his arrival on the ground.

He will pester you to make this payment because he is desperate to get out of Syria. You feel sorry for him. He is very manipulative and persuasive and he will talk you into making this payment. The recipient is in Dubai to receive the payment are either Kenneth or Mohammed or someone's name I can't remember called UMBz something.

I realized something was not quite right when the marriage certificate issued by United Nation with 8 mistakes on it. They don't made mistakes. Like a silly fool I have to make the collections and sent it back to the United Nations and they reissued me with a new one. The United Nations don't do weddings or they don't ask you to make payments to them.

Please be careful with this Dr David Williams. You can ask for his doctor registration number and I beg you, you will never hear from him again.

Had this guy add me on words with friends game. Got chatting and he said he was an orthopaedic surgeon with the UN troops in Ukraine. His wife was killed in a plane crash 3 years ago and his 15 year old son called Harry was living in Cyprus with hired help as he had no family. Gave me the sad story of how lonely he is and worries about his son and wants a mother for him.

Got me to start messaging on Hangouts instead. Told me he was 52 and planning to retire in January to set up his own hospital. Sent me photos of him posing with a Mercedes and a Ferrari and described a big house in Cyprus - not short of money I thought. Very quick to say he loved me and would relocate to be with me and asked me to partner him in the hospital. Have to say I did get quite hopeful about a new life with him. Asked questions about my finances which I answered thinking it didn’t matter as he was well off with money stashed away from working in Syria. Kept talking about his son that it was his birthday in a couple of days. Then the penny dropped when he asked me to send his son a birthday package because he couldn’t do anything for him. I asked him what and reply came back money so he could get a computer.

Knew straight away I was being scammed, so logged out of hangouts and resigned the words game. He then started a new game and messaged about chatting on hangouts and where are you honey. I replied no way! I know what you are now f off!

Blocked him and reported abuse.

His English was very poor at times and I didn’t always understand what he was trying to say. I probably was chatting to more than one person as he started off calling me dear then honey. Thanks to this forum I’ve discovered the photos he sent were of the American hypnotist Steve G Jones.

I do feel such a fool for falling for him but I’d never ever have given over any money. I can’t believe how much this goes on and wish the culprits would get strung up by their testicles!

According to him he needs to pay some commission before they will award the contract 😃😂🤣

He thinks I am stupid. He wants me to pay his airfare from Indonesia to my Country and when he arrives he will pay me. When I refused he got mad and he said I dont trust him fully.😂

I accepted a friend request from Dr. Kent Greg. He said he was a doctor with the UN based in Syria. Claimed his wife and son were killed in a car wreck. Had a 15 yr old daughter he left in New Orleans with a nanny. Within 2 weeks, he was in love with me and talking marriage. Those were just two of the many red flags.

Finally, about 6 weeks later, he asked me for a $200 iTunes card. I wouldn't get it so he got mad, and we said our goodbyes.

He is using the picture of George Osborn (London)
After 2 conversations he said I was the one he was searchig for and said he was finishing in Syria in a month and that he will mary me.

To have him talk, I said I needed money so he said that his wife must always be happy, so he was sending me 10,000 cash through his agent.

Next day I received a e-mail from a Louise Johnson from the United Nation that the pack left Syria and was heading in Ghana.

Next day the dear Doctor asked me if a received the e-mail, and I told him yes.

I know he was scamming me from the start.

Sameday I received another e-mail saying that Ghana need some document and that I must pay 250$ to a certain Reverend.

I confront my "future husband" with 1) the pictures of George Osborne as him and that I will not pay for the document.

He panicked, yelled at me that he did not know any George Osborne and that I must ASBOSLUTELY pay the money, if not he will lose his hard earned 10,000$

I insisted that I will not pay and he completely lost it, said he was going to sue me and block me on Hangouts.

John Power's another story that implies request for money is; after his retirement from the airline, he is interested in having an animal sanctuary and plans to travel to visit some sanctuaries in the US.

Sometimes the scammer your talking to has a double or more. After talking for some time you know a little about them and when a double comes on you can tell because they use different expressions and call you entirely different names. Also if you talk to them they all have the same accent. Met them on dating sites, instagram and Facebook.

All with the same story. Wife died, child in boarding school or somewhere else and they want to meet someone to start a new life. Eventually they all want money. Don't lead them on. Report them as soon as you get a feeling it isn't right. They are dangerous. Steal your money, identity and heart.

Dear One, you are being scammed, no doubt about it! First of all, if someone had that much money in the bank, why would they need your money to help them? Using iTunes cards is a dead giveaway, and a major sign of a scam. I hope you've read some of the other letters here about experiences other women (and some men) have had and don't you think it's strange that almost ALL of them are surgeons, etc., working for the United Nations?

Your "Dr. Eduardo H.'s name isn't on the list because he doesn't work for the U.N. and neither do the rest of these slime buckets trying to take our money! I, too, almost fell for one of them, and things just didn't seem right.

I was so glad to come upon this page and see that the red flags and my gut instincts were right, as are yours! Why would your guy be for real when all the signs point to him being a scammer?

Please drop him fast, report him, do what you can to warn others about him! Many of us feel the shame of having been taken in, but we will get over it and become smarter about this and not let it happen again! There are very real men out there at your local art gallery, museums, classes, even your supermarket, whom you can meet face-to-face.

A man who truly respects you isn't going to be asking for iTune cards and lying like a rug to get your every penny. Stand up to these scammers, no matter how sorry you feel for them. Their stories are lies meant to make you want to help them but these guys will disappear the minute your money disappears!

Do wake up and not let yourself be deceived a moment longer.

I've been texting with a man claiming to be a general surgeon working in Syria. He's sent me photos, even one of his US passport. He seems nice enough, but I keep feeling red flags. He's sent me money and asked me to send it to his UN contact, but I haven't done that, for fear that I'm getting scammed.

The most I've done (stupidly) is to send him 2 $100 iTunes cards, which his "contact" redeemed for cash or something. I don't know. He had to go to London to do some kind of bank thing, and he gave me his bank login details. His account had almost 3 quarters of a million dollars in it.

While he was "in London," he apparently got kicked out of his hotel, but was helped out by a good Samaritan who he wants me to send him money to pay back. The weird thing is that I can't find him on the UN list of doctors. I can never send him money directly (not that I would) and every time I ask him about something, he avoids the issue.

I don't know what to do.

When a scammer is refused money from his target, he is likely to switch the strategy; turn to be blackmailer with the personal information he has gotten from the target. Besides, that private information can be misused by that scammer and transferred to organized crime.

With regard to the previous post in respect of Victor Morrison who targets middle aged Latina women, Morrison sought money together with photos, phone number and other personal information of his targets.

Taking money directly from the target is not the initial purpose but misuse of personal information is the real benefits for this scammer. Preys (women the fraudster contact) who got similar outlook and attributes are ideal for the fraudster to make fake IDs of model person.

In the article above, resemblance of appearances is mentioned. Also, this case shows it is not easy to prove you are innocent. That is why if you have contacts from unknown individuals, you should keep all communication records in case you are accused while you should cut off further communication with that suspicious person.

The reasons why to target specific age range and race could be because: the targets are vulnerable and easily preyed upon; and are ideal to misuse their personal information especially photos for the purpose of ID theft - counterfeit passports, forgery credit cards or debit cards etc.

It is not uncommon that fraudsters take out extortion on prey when targets refuse or ignore requests for money.

John Richard Power who failed to persuade to get sympathy and support, then suddenly an individual who claimed to be his spouse named Liza appeared and was sending out intimidating emails to a target. It is not sure whether those emails have been written by his Guatemalan wife herself, being from infamous national of MS-13 and Northern Triangle, or John Power impersonating or writing instead of Liza who is not fluent in English.

Liza blames the target whom her husband had hooked while he's still searching women on the dating sites and posing as a single man looking for romance and marriage almost every day. The couple threatened when they were accused of their wrongdoings (well, misuse of SNS and matching service may violate some laws), then they went mad and said they would sue me for libel etc both civil and the criminal arena.

The couple changed their strategy on how to get money from prey from ASKING　FOR　MERCY to EXTORTION. However, who will be in real trouble when law enforcement and authorities get involve in the case? John and Liza Power.

The airline in which John Power works for produced three arrests in 2017, in just a single year. One was arrested in Florida for sexual assault and two were arrested for involvement in human smuggling from Spain to Ireland by means of their workplace resources over a decade. The arrested staff also engaged in money laundering. Yes, Ireland is a paradise of MONEY LAUNDERING as well as EXPORTER OF FRAUDSTERS!

by: Anonymous

Not all scammers ask you for money like " send me $10000 for airline tickets to get out of the hell (Syria, Iraq, Afganistan or whateva) / tuition for children / medical care etc.

Sophisticated con artists may say "get the real estate for our future residence and need a deposit until you come over to see it".

John Power, the Irish perpetrator said "the company (he had told about the family owned company months before, in that day the business had been fine) has to fire employees due to the recession. It is sad to tell staff who have worked for his parents for many years not to come from tomorrow." It is true that the parents of John Power and his brother run a small business (sales of electric devices) in Waterford, but the Power family has also owns bogus company presumably tax evasion, and they had also a history that setting up a new company but shut it down within a year.

When John Power found that the targeted woman did not show interest in helping his parents’ company, then he would change the way to try other avenues a few years later on. He talks about animal sanctuaries for rescued animals. He recommends you books about the owner of sanctuary, sends websites of animal sanctuaries around the globe especially in North America that is open to visitors to enjoy a day. John Power takes time till you learn about the new tide of animal welfare and when he finds that you are interested in it, he will tell you a dream of having a farm for animals. He often counts the years left to retirement as well.

Remember, some fraudsters take years to build solid relationships with their prey. It is time consuming but they will have more chance to get a larger amount of money from a single victim.

And like John Power, some con artists ask you for financial aid in an indirect manner (not saying send me a money order, transfer cash immediately blah blah blah), it’s not for himself, for something good (helping unfortunate animals, community etc.).

by: Anonymous

Here is another scammer who goes by the name of Felipe Israel. Claims he is an orthopedic surgeon working for the UN in Syria. Claims he's a widower, his parents died when he was very young, and he says his young son is in a boarding school in Texas. He wanted me to text him using hangouts which I did. I met him originally on Instagram. After reading The posts on this site I realize that his story was very similar to others that have been posted here.

I asked him about the similarities between these posts and his story and he quickly ended our texting and relationship. I could not find him listed as any doctor from England working for the UN in Syria. I quickly ended my hangouts text with him. I removed it from my iPad and also removed it from my laptop.

I became suspicious when reading his posts that did not grammatically sound correct of someone who was from England. He asked me many questions about myself but did not ask for money. He did send me a photo of himself which was similar to the Instagram picture. Beware ladies of a man going by the name of Felipe Israel. He was very cautious about giving me information about himself.

He also will start his scam by asking for a small amount for his internet than for a plan ticket than for provisions then he says that he never got the money.

I think there are a number of non-Nigerian scammers operating on twitter and wanted to make others aware. I know they're not Nigerian because they've contacted me by phone.

Dozens of Irish nationals have been arrested in the US and Australia. They could be groups or individuals that travel to North America and Australia with mostly tourist visa.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-11/brazen-irish-scammers-target-elderly-residents-businesses-qld/9536580

The links above are Face-to-Face type fraud but there should be a number of online fraud which is much easier and cheaper for scammers.

Ireland is regarded as the money laundering paradise by the US authority as well as EU. Money obtained through criminal activities are less likely to be monitored or detected in Ireland.

"You can't trust Irish. Irish are all liars" by Margaret Thatcher.

Keep in mind, online fraudsters are not the story only in West Africa or former USSR. Paddies are perfect English speakers (Irish accent doesn't sound strange in North America and Australia), and great writers like (Ireland is a producers of many poets and literature).　Needless to say their outlook are common in Anglophone nations- more Irish descendants than British as those countries used to be penal colonies. Don't fall victim to them.

Also beware of someone named either George R Simpson, his Facebook name, or George Rogue, his Hangouts name. He claims to be a neurosurgeon working in a lockdown situation in a Syrian camp that is guarded with thousands of armed soldiers. His name is not on the list of doctors published by the UN. He claims to be a widower who lost his wife and daughter in an accident and he is supposedly raising his granddaughter by himself. He claims that she is in a boarding school in Pennsylvania, but when I looked at the school it is a boys only School.

He claims never to have been in Canada, but a picture of him on Facebook shows him standing in front of a house with an Ontario address on it. He is going for a quick romantic relationship with lots of sympathy. He said he wanted to come visit me next month. Haha! Don't let him get his hopes into you! He is not honest.

I received a friend request from a William fernando on Facebook this morning. I am always cautious of people requesting me who I don’t know. I accepted the request and he immediately started messaging me however none of the messages made sense bearing in mind he was apparently a surgeon in the USA, born there but his English was appalling!!

I immediately started investigating him while he continued to send me messages. He asked me if I had kids and a husband and what had happened to my husband. I told him my fiancé died last year. He told me that his wife had died three years ago. I asked him why he messaged me and he told me he was looking for an old school friend and found my profile and thought I looked lovely - he was apparently based in LA I’m in London.

I asked what hospital he worked at and he gave me a name that didn’t exist. I asked what he specialised in and he said he was a military doctor currently working in Afghanistan. I replied back that it’s 3.30 in the morning in Afghan and he asked me if I had been - no, but my fiancé died while there so I am fully aware of the time difference and the military compounds etc etc.

I then looked into his Facebook and found that his interests were all African based!! My suspicions were correct. I had reported him to Facebook and messaged him to say I am fully aware of his scam and that I’m smarter than he is!!

I guess this guy thought he could find sympathetic women on a vegetarian dating web site. These guys are everywhere just trying to get money out of women. They prey on loneliness. Get a pet. There are a lot of pets that need good homes, and you won't be lonely.

Yes, an Irish pilot John Power and his spouse Liza blamed on me "I thought you were not the person who HURTS others as you are aware of animal welfare blah blah blah…" when I accused the false statement on the dating site is illicit, violates both law and social norms.

John Power who has been on Veggieconnection over a decade searching single women with false marital status (posed as a single man telling financial problem of his family owned business, dreams of making animals’sanctuary etc.)

A perpetrator tries to make use of sympathetic women to get money but when he finds it difficult or been pointed out the wrongdoings then that perpetrator intimidates while persuading compassionate woman should not report others about what he had been involved in as it’s invasion of his privacy.

Girls, you need to realise that you are not talking to one man but a group of men. If you don't believe me, try catching them out with little tests, e.g if you have mentioned your pets name or child's name previously in another conversation, change it to see if it's the same person.

I caught one or two scammers out like that before, and I realised I was having conversations with two totally different people. Also, if you end up talking to them, listen carefully in the background, you can sometimes here more than one whispering in the back. Hope this helps.

How does one tell if the person you communicate with is a real scammer? How do you tell? I had asked and all I get is a shrug shoulder.

by: Anonymous

John Power, an Irish airman who has been on Veggieconnection, the matching site for vegetarians, since early 2000s posing as a SINGLE MAN seeking wife/girlfriend does not beg you for money in a direct manner as most scammers do. He is an ARTIST so he tells you about the financial problems of a small company (have to fire employees etc.) that his parents and sibling run, or his plan to have an animal sanctuary after his retirement from airline.

This guy has spent several years to make me interested in helping financial aid or future investment for good. However, when John Power realizes that you are not willing to help his family or interested to cooperate to support animal welfare, then you will receive nasty mail from a woman who claims to be his WIFE, Liza Velasquez Power. The couple prospect the reaction of you – you get angry, accuse him and report, because a single guy who hooked you via the matching site seemed to be a fellow vegetarian has lied about his marital status for ages and shares your personal information with the third party (his wife!) without your permission.

However, making you upset is their tactics, as the couple would imply legal action for denouncement and libel (in reality there is no legal grounds for claiming compensation). John and Liza Power may propose a reconcile instead of a battle in court. Yet, if you ignore them or argue and points out the facts, then they take it out on you, curse badly and cut off.

So there is hope 😍

Go to any supermarket after 6:00. Tons of men go to church so join a networking group or go to a museum or go to a park and take golf lessons.

Go to the beach,Volunteer somewhere. Spend time with your girlfriends and family. Get a pet

So I hope this helps

Is it possible for a doctor who works in a war zone under the UN but can’t show on the list? because of the terrorists? Is it possible? Thats what the man told me and he told me he can’t give me his pictures because of the terrorists also.

by: Anonymous

My experience was six months. He kept asking me to send money for his ticket and his box. I already told him that he is a scammer and I have called the cops and I am on his case. But the scammer still told me he loves me and misses me so much and wishes to meet me soon. And when I finish the payment he can get over to be with me and pay back what I have given him before!

Recently I just told him over and over again I can’t do anything anymore (that is truth!) But he still asks me to make a payment soon. But just a few days ago, he told me he can’t live in this world without his box anymore, he can’t survive without his box because his box is not safe. So he just gone.

If you still believe online dating scammers are in West Africa and whom you'll never see in person, read this article. Dating service like Tinder and Badoo may raise the number of dating scams where a scammer and victims have an actual date.

The victim in the article below was hooked up via POF, had a date with a swindler and then introduced him to her friends and family.

Toronto man accused of defrauding online dates
CBC News Jan 13, 2012

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-man-accused-of-defrauding-online-dates-1.1246347

"Like many North Americans, Sarah turned to an online dating service to win in the game of love.

Just over a year ago, Sarah and Porter had their first date in Toronto’s tony Yorkville neighbourhood. She’d met Porter in November 2010 on PlentyofFish, a free Canadian online dating site. In February 2011, after three intense months Sarah said Porter disappeared. She found herself with $800 in credit card charges, a mobile telephone bill in her name and shattered self-esteem.

She also said that Porter racked up $1,000 using her father’s credit card information, which he’d gathered when meeting her parents at Christmas."

QUOTE "How long does a scammer take to scam somebody. A month or two or three? If they communicate with you on hangouts, messenger, emails, fb or phone, then how could they get in touch with you.

Police in North America say, fraudsters spend several months, sometimes even years to get trust from their prey. Besides, lots of online dating scam cases involved are taking place after face-to-face meeting up.

Now claiming he got detained at Malaysia KLIA airport because he is carrying more than USD10000 cash. Asked me to help bail him for USD3000, which i did transfer SGD5000. Guess, I'm too nice and trust someone pleading for help.

Next thing, he asked me to pay for an anti-terrorist cert. Saying without the cert, he cannot enter Singapore. I googled, found out, no such form exists and its a scam. since then, i ignored him. yet, he still contacting me.

Guess I am not the only one been done. Just lately this guy claiming to be an orthopedic surgeon in Syria, Aleppo. I have been keeping track on foreign news for years. When he told me his whereabouts and needs someone to help him get out, I being a Christian didn't think otherwise, and helped him. His vacation was applied. The UN vacation dept. gave me the costs for processing the documents and was told that funds will be reversed to my account. I paid that and they came back saying that all military planes are not available due to the situations there. More money was asked. I didn't pay that as am unable to.

I know it's too late now. I was taught to do the scamwatch and found lots of his photos with different names. We did have a video chat but am still sceptical if he's still legitimate. Yes,I'm gullible.

Being too trusting is my problem.

Starts with "Hello Dear". Then he introduced himself as an orthopedic surgeon and he is currently in Syria bec. The UN assigned him there.
Afterwards he gave his back ground: Born in Sacramento CA, attended San Francisco Highschool,gained his Doctorate at UK Manchester university.

Also said he graduated on Army War College West Point. He is a widowed-his wife and daughter died in 2009. He has a son who is 15 yrs. Old currently in UK for studies. Said he has no money bec. UN is not allowing it. Also said they are not allowed to outside contact outside except whatsapp and gmail. But I added him on Hangouts.
From just a simple convo then he is suddenly telling me he's a protestant, he joined IG to find the woman/soulmate. He Said Im the one he is looking for.

That he found the ideal woman he wants. Showering me with all the sweet words, and keeps calling me Honey, baby, dear. His Bday is Oct. 11, 1983(based on age he gave-34 turning 35).

A good looking guy but everything he says is so perfect. He didn't ask me yet for any money, but Im a victim of Catfish before. I already blocked him on IG and Im going also to block him on Hangouts. My gut instinct just kicked in

by: SmartWoman

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies! I am so very happy to have found this site! I've been searching for anything I could find on a aric_gorge also a Orthopedic Surgeon in Syria, born in France, lived in San Antonio TX, but now on contract with NATO to help the soldiers!

I knew right off that it smelt funny. I also was smart enough to check current situation where he said he was and to know that the Gov't had already overtaken that city and every hospital was bombed and no medical doctors left!! I played along to see if he would eventually ask for money. What got me was that he immediately asked me to go to Google Hangout and he kept pushing for me to talk, even though I told him I was busy!

Where he made the biggest mistake with me was getting tripped up about his son, on questions I asked and his dog from a picture that was posted! He then gave this same long speal about love and wanting a future wife that was literally word for word per batem as many women have already written above! When he wrote a long list of hobbies and characteristics about himself, including his favorite color and religion and then I guess he forgot he already wrote that and gave me NEW answers to the same hobbies he had just listed.

I knew he was writing off of a script! He had the nerve to say how much he hates cheaters and people who lie! HAAAHAAHAAA what a joke! He is the liar! I immediately told him I too hate liars, fake people and those who pretend to be what or whom they are not! And I let him know that he did not reach a naieve woman and then I blocked him and deleted that stupid hangout account on google.

He immediately asked if I blocked him and kept asking me why on my Instagram! He is continuing to post pictures of a very good looking Doctor that I know for sure is not this ridiculous, probably young african boy! I do have fears that he now has my pictures and it scares me that he'll use those to reach out to men and pretend to be me as he had my pictures and asked for more!

This ridiculousness must stop! We need more protection online and women need to catch who is at the back end of these scams! It's not the same person, it's a group!

The biggest thing I can offer any women, single or just lonely! Not all men online are bad but I personally wouldn't sign up and look for a date on any site but I'm sure there are some good men on some of the sites.

However the moment your intuitions tell you something is off then LEAVE! The first time he asks you for money realize it is a scam! DO NOT FALL FOR IT! Don't believe love happens that way!

Make him facetime you face to face!!! Search him out, make him agree to a back ground check and run it!!!! If he says no...then YOU RUN!!!! fast!

There are many evil people in the world and anyone that tries to scam a women using Jesus Christ and his love - they shall be punished!

by: Anonymous

I reported a Deshi Chung a couple of months ago, who tried to get US$610 claiming that he was detained by corrupt Turkish migration officers in the Turkish Capital Airport. Of course he FAILED.

Since as Deshi Chung he chatted with me on the Chinese App : WeChat, afterwards I did not delete him, trying to get more data to report to the authorities (which I already did, with his Turkish accomplice name and bank info). He is now back and sends HI again from the same WeChat account, but as ALAN CHUNG. His English is bad, mostly texts copied from the Internet. His verbal English is terribly BAD. He writes Chinese, which I believe he has a Chinese accomplice.

If you come across a nice-looking Asian man in photos, who claims to be half Chinese (father) half Greek (mother), both dead, he is the only son, around 38 years of age, born in Cyprus or Turkey, JUST IGNORE HIM.

I believe he works in a small team of petty scammers. And they are not from Cyprus, but from somewhere in Mongolia, Kirkistan, Uzbesktan (sorry, those small nations neighboring China). BE AWARE of all these lazy liars who just want to make easy money off innocent ladies!!

I will keep all of you updated!!

I am a 60 year old divorced woman and I was approached by a gentleman who friended me on fb and says he was an orthopedic surgeon on Contract with the UN. Said he has a son studying abroad in UK in a boarding school named Alvin. Says he is a widower of 6 years and she died of ovarian cancer. Son is 15.

We have been chatting for 3 months and now he has been asking me for money for several different things. Money for a box that has $4million cash in it but I would have to pay $11,000 to get it through customs.

Then next was monies to pay for plane home along with 3 other physicians which the claim is he is working in Syria. Next I'm a so called beneficiary of all his benefits but have to come up with $98,000 to get these benefits. Yet everytime money is requested it is a different bank in the US to make these deposits in to with different names. I unfortunately was dumb enough on a couple but no more.

He talks about how he's a christian and how he knows god brought us together. But yet when I ask for details about his son he avoids those questions. Names he has given me that cannot be verified. I can verify institutions but not any of the names.

So I have turned everything over to the scam dept at said banks, and the UN. The picture I had of him was salt and pepper hair and was from Bend Oregon.

As of reading other statements I have come to realize this guy is one in the same. No more.
I will take the road I am lead down by my faith. Never again anything on line.

This Jack Hoen claims he is a doctor (orthopedic surgeon) who works with Nato in conjunction with united nation on a peace keeping mission.

I took these words from his messages he's been chatting with me on Facebook messenger. He claims he's there on a 5 yr contract to treat wounded soldiers and burnt victims.

He then claimed he's a widow and lost his wife to cancer six years ago and has one son Thompson before his wife died of breast cancer. He said his 14 yr old son Thompson is studying abroad. Like who says that??? Again this is taken directly from the FB messenger too.

Then he goes on about being a Christian and wanting a good wife that respects him and vice versa. He went on rambling about how he is a romantic and loves to cuddle and cooks and all the blah blah blah about love and how he wants to be love and give love. OMG! Like seriously, he was starting to call me "Dear" and asking am I still there so he can chat with me. Just being effin annoy AF! I really don't have time to be talking about all of this garbage to someone over the internet with a cute handsome face as a Dr. He screwed up when he told me his name is Jack Hoen, but his FB link says, http://giovani.marcelo.

I asked him about the two names being different and his excuse was that he had a friend opened up the Facebook account. Thats right there was the final red flag that this guy was too good to be true. I didn't fall for it, I played dumb with him and I already saw that the account was opened back in June 2016. All the pictures are new as of May 31, 2018. All of the people who liked his pictures are all black guys that when I looked at their profiles, they look like poor black guys from a 3rd world country.

When I tried asking him if he was still a DR in New York, he told me "...yes am a doctor in the states but right now i'm on a contract with NATO here in syria..."

I was done when I searched for Orthopedic Surgeons for United Nation Orthopedic Surgeon Doctor Aleppo and this website popped up. All scams. And then I read about how the Dr is such a romantic and then wants to go chat in "Hangout app" to chat. I was done when this Dr. Jack Hoen asked me to chat or download the Hangout App. I enjoyed lying with whoever this mofo is behind the fake page.

I saw his invite on Hangout, I blocked and deleted him as well as my Facebook account. If I ever get bored again, I will add them just to BS when I have down time.

Hope this will help someone. Don't ever trust these 3rd world country people impersonating as Dr's, or just anything. Sounds too good to be true and for a Dr, his grammar was just off. Bad punctuation, alot of lower case typing and it was too much dreamy, lovey nonsense about love. I got disgusted after the 2nd day when he started telling me about future wife goals.

Nope. Not today. He's been blocked. Delete Delete Delete.

https://nypost.com/2015/12/21/millennial-street-gangs-turn-to-white-collar-crime/

The reasons why you should be careful about giving personal information to individuals met online (even after meet-up face to face), scammers are not only living in West Africa or former USSR countries. Street gangsters such as MS-13 members go ON-LIINE for fraud and ID theft in the last several years. Personal information is valuable for criminals as information can be transferred so easy on the internet and be used for multiple illicit purposes.

The number of the Central American gangs is increasing in North America thus you will face more risks than before. Give up searching that special someone via online. He should be found in the community where there are common acquaintance (e.g. workplace, school etc.) or introduced by your friend, boss, relatives.

You had better give detailed personal information whom you met online even after meeting-up face to face (some con artists actually living around you or come to see you).

If you find a person you met via SNS or dating site sounds odd, cut off (friendship, romantic) relationship immediately but keep all correspondence records in case. Those information may be helpful for law enforcement though you were not defrauded financially.

starstarstarstarstar 		Scammer going by the name of Randall Eaton
by: Anonymous

Hello! Just found this page, though I have done research on other sites before. How quickly we forget! I am so glad I happened onto this site. I play "Words with Friends" on Facebook and recently was invited to play by someone with the username of "Eatonrand9117" The photo he used is quite beautiful--it's of someone on the beach at night with a full moon on the horizon.

He started chatting with me after a couple of days and then started sending me chats in the chat box. Right away he was flattering me, saying that I looked nice, beautiful, etc. Also very quickly began describing the kind of woman he wants in his life. He said he lives in Jupiter, Florida. Gave me some info saying he was Swiss-American, born in Berne, Switzerland, never knew his father, came to the US when he was 10. He told me his full name is Randall Eaton, has 3 children, and that his wife, Cheryl, died in a "horrific" car crash in Switzerland. Pretty soon he changed his story to be that he is a surgeon working in Damascus, Syria helping save lives and is due "stateside" in July. I was wondering about his story as he did seem to have a lot of time to write and never described his daily life there in the few days we were chatting.

I asked him about his children and he didn't respond to that question. He asked me a couple of questions like "What is your favorite place in the world?" Didn't ask me about my daughter though I told him I had one. He mostly just described his "ideal woman" and I didn't know how to respond to his litany of all of the qualities he wants in a woman. Maybe I was supposed to say "Yes! I have all of those wonderful qualities!"

He would jump from that to saying what he liked to do, which sounded like it was lifted directly from a dating site, i.e., "I love running around on the beach at night,: "I love breakfast in bed,"--who doesn't? Makes me sick that I was afraid for him being in Syria and told him that and how he was so courageous...yuck!

Today he asked if I am on "What's App?" so that was next on the list. I blocked him on Words and guess I'll have to do it on What's App, too, if necessary, though I am so glad I didn't give him my phone number--he did give me his.

Anyway, my fellow kind-hearted ladies, don't ignore the red flags or your feeling that something is fishy! I am so glad to have found this site and cut him off at the pass.

I wouldn't have sent him money as too poor to do that but it makes me mad to be preyed on like this.

Watch your hearts, my friends!

Most dating sites introduce "BLOCK" in order that member users can restrict specific other users to contact and/or view his/her profile. This technique is essential for those matching service but some dating sites provide arts for fraudsters: perpetrator can hide his profile from all member users while that perpetrator is still be able to view and contact other members.

What is that scheme for? Scammers and perverts can search new targets without being known by the prey who have been in a relationship and who were already defrauded or exploited.

starstarstarstarstar 		Long term communication does not mean real
by: Anonymous

According to the police in the North America,it is not uncommon that online dating scammers take several months or even years to get trust from their targets (victims).

In the course of the Irish perpetrator, he told the financial hardship of the family business that his parents and brother run, and years later he talks about the dream of making an animal sanctuary farm for rescued pets and livestock. But when the perpetrator finds that his target does not intend to give financial help, then the perpetrator shows their real nature.

Besides, the online dating scam is not the stories about impostors from West Africa and former USSR (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus etc.). You will be hooked by the local predators via matching service and lead to face to face meet up so easily these days.

Long term relationship and dating in person do not assure safety.

by: Anonymous

Beware of John Richard Power from Dublin (originally from Waterford), Ireland. D of B February 11, 1970. Height 5.8ft, redhead with round face and grey eyes.

This individual has been on the dating site from the early 2000s claiming to be a single man seeking a girlfriend or future wife but he is actually married man. John Power asks OFF-LINE communication right away and makes an appointment to see you in person very soon wherever you live as he is a commercial pilot. He is a frequent traveler to the US for work and holiday.

The employees of the airline in which John R. Power works for had been involved in human smuggling over a decade, according to the investigators of Irish police, and one of the culprits engaged in money laundering. ID theft and misuse of personal information is a MUST task to impersonate for money laundering.

Irish authorities did not dig into this organized crime properly though the police initially estimated more staff would be arrested. therefore, if you are contacted by this individual, do not give any personal information and report to the police, ICE and FAA.

Hi, I`m a german woman and I think I`m in the same situation actually. His name is Mark Larry or Larry Mark ;-) from Facebook and he is also a orthopedic surgeon by the U.S. army from jersey city, he told me. He also sent some pictures with flowers and good morning coffee and wants to chat with me on google hangouts. He told me that he is in Kabul at the moment and will come to germany after he finishes in 8 weeks. Many things he wrote are implausible for a doctor as my heart told me. He knows I have a boyfriend. I am always searching for people in the world wide web about guys I don`t know and so I have found this page and it confirms my feelings. If he would be in Kabul, Afghanistan, he wouldn`t have enough time to write I think.

So, be careful. Till now I haven`t found a german page with this problem. I hope there will be one to inform also german or other women.

Found me out of the blue on IG. Gorgeous pic. Said he was a surgeon in Syria. 13 y/o daughter in boarding school. Been there for 10 years.

Wife died 5 years ago in a car accident. I asked him his ethnicity and he said only English. Thank goodness I stumbled upon this site. His English just wasn't up to par for someone who was raised in Washington DC. I was an idiot and chatted with him and he was professing love which was another red flag way too soon. It's just so sad that people have to suck so badly.

Same story as all the others. Clayton Harrison, an orthopedic surgeon in Syria working for UN. Resigning in May and wants to settle down in my country. Sends a lot of photos of roses and poems (directly copied from the internet). Parents lost in his childhood, therefor raised by an aunt. Religious. Cheated by his ex wife with his best friend. Son 10 years in boarding school in States, no contact with his mother.

Never asked for money until he needs to get his luggage out of the country with a lot of cash in it. Money needed for transfer of suitcase by delivery agent hired by UN, Kofi Appiah (no info can be found of this company). First amount 5000 €. Because of delay raised to 9000€. Even was and still am so much in love with this goodlooking sax player, did not transfer any money. Always very nice and charming, but about his luggage very rude and pushy. I am not a native English speaker, but my English is better than his. Scanned pictures of him with Tineye, but nothing strange found. Almost gave up my house and children for him.

Good that I stuck at my first feeling.

Be warned

For anyone looking for UN doctor's, you can do a Google search for list's of UN doctor's. It will give you a link to their names and location. If they're not on the list THEY'RE NOT A UN DOCTOR!!

No matter what they try to make you believe. Also you should ask them for a picture so you can do a Google reverse image of it and see if it's truly who they say they are. And please don't believe that they are the head doctor so all of his doctor's underneath him have to use his picture. That's simply untrue as well.

If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, always trust that feeling!!

There are so many out there with the same sob story/scam. Always no relatives, only child in Boarding school (quite honestly, I don’t think the U.N. would accept the service of a single parent with no relatives and a child). Doesn’t make sense.

Anyway, rather than waste my time anymore I’m on a crusade to take them down. Yesterday one reached out with the photo of Dr. Fernando Gomes Pinto. I directly asked him why was he using a stolen image and impostering a surgeon from Brazil. Guess what?

Page quickly taken down and no further contact. Do a google reverse image search, review U.N. doctor list and call them OUT!!! Report them to IG, FB etc.

Don’t look for an excuse to believe them because they’re telling you what you want to hear.

The actual Dr. Pinto is aware of the scammers and even has some of the alias’ used with his photo up on his Instagram account. You should take a look at it.

Loaning money in general in a new "relationship" is not a good sign particularly when you’ve never met the person!

Othopedic surgeon in Aleppo Syria and wanted me to pay $5000 Australian and he said I would get it back after he was at his Vacation destination. This went on for 6 and a half months but what made me smell a rat was a women in Queensland sent money to me and I was to send it to a women in South Carolina America.

I have been chatting with this supposed Dr for 3 weeks after matching in Tinder. He says he is half American half German, lives in Hamburg, working for US army and in Kabul at the moment for 4 weeks.

He is divorced, apparently his ex cheated on him with his best friend and has a daughter 7yrs in Virginia Beach.

Of course he told me from the beginning that I'm the woman of his life and wants to marry me and send me the most yucky love letters you can find in the internet.

I knew he was a scam but I went along to see what he will ask. And 3 days ago he did, for the most ridiculous reason. A major was shot dead and left him a box with a lot of monay which was in a security company in Germany and of course hebonly trusted me withat, as I was the only person in his life, and wanted me to pay the company to send me the box for keeping in London.

I told him immediately NO and I confronted him with copies of all the info I had for him. In the beginning he denied everything, then he became angry and at the end he apologised.

I blocked him, reported his emails and Tinder account to the police.

I dont know how he got my Facebook address but he contacted me with a real attractive FB-Page and pictue saying he wanted to be my friend and perhaps we can be more than this after a while. So he told me his Family is dead, his wife passed away and he has a 13 year old son in N.Y City. The first day he and me just introduced ourselves.

I was just wondering how such a stunning guy was alone. Telling me he was in Syria working as a Surgeon for the UN in a military camp. I was much too old for him so I was wondering, how he thought, that we two could make a couple. He wrote real destinguished and I believed him in the beginning. After 3 days he said he wants to be more than a friend and if I could imagene to be his wife - I coulnt believe it.

I thought maybe because of the situation down there. So, yesterday night we where suppose to talk more at night but it got too late and I told him, he probably should look for someone else to date, since I think this goes to fast. This morning he had cancelled the FB Account which he never asked for friends while I told him to several times.

Thank god he is gone. But he was - I mean his Picture was extremely good looking. He called himself Wallace Henry.

Do not start talking to this guy. He is a scam artist and has pictures of himself with different names on different websites. Tinder, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now he's on LinkedIn as of this morning. He is very convincing ladies!!! He will tell you that he's a widow with a young son or daughter in military school, and will even ask you to send his son an email with a different email address.

It's fake. He will also ask you to go to hangouts to talk and he will call you with a video tape of himself. He says he is the head doctor at the military base at the United Nations and in Aleppo Syria but that he is wealthy and has a home in Dallas Texas and two other homes in CA and WA. He is very good at romancing you and shows you his affection and falls for you almost instantly.

He soon tells you that he needs for you to help him get safe from the war going on in Syria with pictures of injured and yes dead people from the bombs! He will ask you to please write a letter to the UN for a vacation certificate to come to see you. He always asks about you and your family.

And soon he tells you how much he is in love with you. He will send you pictures of rings for you to pick out because he wants to buy you it when he gets to you. This will of course cost a small fee. I think it was $600.00. And you have to write in as his fiancé. He will help you write it.

DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!!! IT'S A SCAM!!

His picture is everywhere so just do a reverse image of the photo he sends you of himself. He even tells you that his doctor's sometimes uses his picture for consultations and that his identity has been stolen from Facebook. J

When they are romancing you and telling you how much they need you and love you blah blah, you are not the only one they are saying this to. And they are saying it to more than one at a time. They don't use your name so as not to call you by someone else's name, they answer with few words or with the wrong answer and they take a long time in answering a question.

The excuse given for the very long pauses is the internet is slow. Usually it's because they have more than one they are romancing at the same time. This is their job. They have no feelings, no heart and they don't care if you get hurt as long as they get their money.

And if you give them money once they will try for more and more with excuses and reasons. And if you resist they will be gone.

I have started to chat with a man call Alajos Bertalan Norbert (also call Danny. That was what he told me is his nickname in the camp since last December. He contacts me with Facebook, and at first I was surprised because he told me he is a Hungarian, and he is an eye surgeon doctor working under UN now present in Yemen.

I was surprised because I told him we are totally from two different countries and he just can search my profiles. He said he just saw my profile showing on his, so he decided to add me. He told me he has a contract with the UN for 6 years, and now has already done 3. He is 48 years old (Jan.19th.1969), has one daughter now is 5 and had divorced with his wife a few years ago, because she was cheated behind him with his best friend.

And both parents died when he was little (Mother was a nurse and father was a cook), and he was raised by his only uncle. He told me the life in there makes him feel scared because he could still hear the gun shots. And he isn't allowed to call or have a video calls, also no cameras. He has sent me his pictures and also with his daughter (just a few).

And he also told me when he is out, he plans to open his own hospital. We have chatted for almost 5 months, and we really had a good time with each other, and he did not ask me for any money at first.

But I had asked him will he have a vacation in the future? He said he doesn’t know, because he never asked for it before. He did not tell me he loves me, just said he really found me interesting. With the time passing, one day he told me his feelings about me, and he said he wants me into his life and he wants to take care of me, because I might meet someone else and forget about him easily.

He told me he did not chat with other woman in there. And he said, he is a good man and also a good father with mature and good sense. He has told me lots of great things and words and plans and just wants me to know how much feeling he has having with me. But at first I refused to take yes because I told him we have never met and I don’t want everything to go so fast, and he told me he can understand but he is sorry and still wants to tell me how he feels about me.

At first we chat on messager, but one day he ask me to chat with him on Hangout because that will be much better for him, and after that his FB has been deleted for some reasons but I don’t know why. We chat and have a very good time with each other, then ne day, he just told me maybe his vacation will be coming soon, he just said maybe won’t be long and there will be a new doctor there to replace him and he will have to hand over his job to the man in the future.

I never doubted on him, because he really cares about my life and even with my family daily. And he was really kind and nice to talk with me, just like a true person like you have already met before, the strong feelings that he has given to me was really nice. I just totally fell in love! And I totally fell in love with the man in the picture which he has sent to me.

I even watched those pictures every day. And the way he cares about me and my family, you would totally have no doubt!

With that new doctor coming he asked me to write a letter to the UN and let them know I am his fiancée and ask for his vacation. One morning I received an email reply from the UN head office and ask me to pay his vacation fees, which each are 30, 60 and 90 working day vacations for insuring his life in case any thing go wrong in Taiwan, and he has to provide them with my driving license, international passport or national identity card and also ask me to fill in a form to process the vacation letter immediately after they received the payment. At first he was very surprised with this asking me to pay, but he told me that was just for his insurance in case anything happen here.

At first I told him I don’t have any money for this, and he asked me to pay for the lowest, 30 days, and when he lands, he can increase for a month and pay me back with that amount. So after that, I have paid for 60 days, 3480 Euro.

Yes I paid (loan with the bank). I reply to the same email: vacationdept@un-offices.org and they provide me the payment details, so I just paid through the money gram. After that, they replied to me that they have received my payment and ask my location which means the airport to let them arrange the flight for him.

After I provided this, next I have received their reply to ask me to pay for his flight ticket, with the airport in Taiwan, from Sana’a airport to TPE, the charge of the flight is 8,900 Euro or if I want him to have a charter flight, will need 48,900 Euro.

I totally am mad and he said he was very much surprised with this also and he went to ask the man who is the head of the camp. After that, he just told me he has to take the helicopter to the airport to avoid the terrorists. So the amount is all included with those cost.

And yes, I paid again.

But after that the next email just informed me that because there are no flights there recently, so they ask me to pay for the charter flight! I am just totally insane!

So I just told Danny that I can’t afford this, but Danny just kept explaining to me that it is a charter flight, and will fly here directly. One day, he told me the head of the camp told him he can ask for help with UN Help desk (unitednationsapply@consultant.com), so I wrote a letter to them and explained the whole situation, and after that, the help desk said they can assist me but I have to raise something reasonable they can accept.

I told them I could only pay for 5,000 Euro. And they replied and suggest me to keep paying. So I paid, but the next reply was to inform me, the money was too little and they can’t help the balance with that great amount (48,900-8,900=40,000 / 40,000-5,000=35,000 euro).

So they said they can assist me for 60%, which means I will have to pay 11,000 euro (40%) to balance the payment. And yes, for some help, I paid. So I already completed the balance and was informed that his flight is arranged and will provide me the flight details to let me pick him up on time.

After few days, I still haven’t got any information from the UN for the flight details. But I was thinking he could be here soon, with the next email, they told me that because my country has the B.T.A (Basic Travelers Allowance), so I will have to pay for 14,160 euro for 60 days in Taiwan, and ask me to transfer the money fast and I can still collect the money at the airport when he arrives, and the money is still mine, so I paid.

A few days later, I received an email from the head of the camp, and he said the flight is arranged, but they have just received an important email which cannot be ignored. I told Danny and he said it was about his consignment box, and he was very surprised that the UN want him to send his box out first before he leaves!

He told me what’s inside the box (with huge cash and gold) and that was his life saving, and his plan was to give me a surprise when he lands here. I was just totally mad and losing my mind but Danny just patiently explain to me and ask me to write a letter to the consignment department to tell them to send the box to me only (write my name on it) before he fly out, because I am the only person who can be trusted by him.

After I wrote, I just received an email from consignment department (consignment@un-offices.org) to inform me that because the box is very much important and will deliver the box to me personally, there has a charge to pay first, including: UN Registration fees , Diplomat travelling allowance, non-resident tax fees and vat, cost 56,990 euro.

I just told him that I can’t anymore, as the money is too much and he just keeps telling me if I have the box, I can fix my liabilities. But I keep telling him I really can’t anymore, and after few days, he said he just asked all the money I have paid before for the box, so now I will have to complete the balance now (56,990-42,540=14,360 euro).

But the situation is I DON’T HAVE ANY ABILITIES ANYMORE. We are both sad for a while and he just keeps begging me to help him for his box out because they have warned him the place where he keeps the box received a signal that it might be destroyed soon by the terrorists. So he kept asking me for help and begged me many times, but the truth is that I really can’t anymore. And he told me that he is tired of life now, if anything happened to that box he will try to end his life because that box mean a lot of to him. But I just can’t anymore, because I have a huge loan now and I have to pay them back. I just cried when I said those things to him.

And because of him, I thought he is coming soon, so I have quit my job for him and plan everything that we were to do. But now, I start working because I have to pay the liabilities back myself now. After I checked all the messages here you guys said, I just wondering of all this!!
Have anyone had this like me? What do you think of my story?

Yeah…scam! And now I totally lost my life and family. Because they just hate me already. I think I am the one who needs to end life! Yeah…the whole world now is laughing at me. LAUGH OUT LOUD.

There is a web site https://www.tineye.com, that tells you if the photo is fake.

I was recently scammed but not out of money, I don't part from money that easy.

He was using the name Mark McGillion and seemed really real, even the video cam seemed real but technology today can do anything. Wife died, parents died in a plane crashed, old widow raised him and he went to the us to study medicine.

His accent was off and I kept questioning him why he sounded Asian and not Scottish as his claimed birth place or American where he said he spent most of his young adulthood. Let down my guard and that intuition that was ranging loud and clear but never again.

Be safe ladies and don't part from your money.

I am still recovering from my scammer, who turned out to be from Nigeria. He told me he is on an oil rig and was an independent contractor, so he was responsible for all costs associated with his multimillion dollar contract.

He said he had never handled a contract this large, and had run into difficulties which he needed money for in order to get paid. Then he said there was a fire on the oil rig and he needed more money to fix the electrical problems. After this, his son and his son's girl friend were robbed in the UK, and their phones and laptops were stolen and they needed new ones!

It was one story after another, just sickening and I fell for all of it! Now he is blocked and I've stopped all contact, but it will take me years to repay myself the money sent

Asked to use Google Hangouts, but his writing is stilted with poor grammar, spelling and phrasing. As if he is translating.

Claims to have 14 year old son.

I have had a bad feeling as it "gave me the creeps." I have no info available and intend to shut down Hangouts, which has a Google email I never use.

His FB info states FB contact under /dandy.derrick.

Started in right away with endearments, and I have been terse. He uses no American phrasing or references. It frightens me and I will block him on FB and Hangouts. Gives virtually no info re self.

Also look out for Dr. Alex Martin. Same storyline. Orthopedic Surgeon working for the United Nations in Syria. His wife died four years ago and he has a son who is studying in Germany. But that he was from Texas and his parents died when he was young and was raised by a neighbor who was a teacher or something like that.

He connected with me via Instagram as he was following a friend of mine.

I chatted for a week or two not thinking too much of it. But I did notice the grammar was not great and I thought maybe he had a few too many glasses of wine after work (LOL!!)

He wanted to connect today via Skype so we did. Then he called me via Skype audio. It was a bad connection but that was no Texas accent. Sounded Asian or Chinese.

That was all I needed to know that this guy was not the guy in the picture. So I deleted him from Skype and blocked him via my Instagram. And told my friend who he was also following.

I checked him out, no such name there, no son was found. He asked me for $2,000.00 because he got robbed, but I said no. I told him to go to the Embassy for help.

James Kurt from Fresno, California who is a orthopedic surgeon at the United Nations Foundation in Syria, is a widow for 5 years and has a son that is 14 years old. I looked him up at the place, and he is not listed anywhere. He said he was a orphan in Poland, but got adopted and came to the US.

I was getting a bad feeling that he sounded like the first guy from Georgia and Jeffery Leon Welsh from Miami, Florida is another one.

I blocked him right away because he wasn't listed there. I learnt my lesson from con artist scams that causes stress in my life.

Finally got a flight to Spain, then Ireland. Was detained in Ireland because he didn't have his retirement papers with him. If I don't pay 13,500 for a lawyer he will be put in jail.

He's been there over 2 weeks and hasn't eaten in 6 days. It just keeps getting better and better. Told him flat out I would not give him a penny. Loves me and we belong together blah blah. He's a widower with a 15 year old son Evans who is boarding in calif.

I was Dm’ed by someone named Dr Tony Chrissy and he was over complimentary. I responded with hello and just engaged in general chit chat. I immediately googled his name but found nothing. I saw that he was followed by one of my reputable contacts so I thought nothing of it. He started asking where I was from and I gave him the province but not city. I asked if he was a doctor and what he practiced.

He gave me this long response about being an orthopaedic surgeon and what he specialized in. And guess what? It was copied and pasted directly from Wikipedia lol.

I started getting suspicious when he was asking very specific questions about my personal info but I evaded them. He also tried to get me away from Instagram onto Hangouts to keep chatting. I said no. By this time I already knew something wasn’t right. His profile was private so I requested to follow and once I got approved, I looked at his pictures and knew for certain that he was lying about everything.

He said he had been a surgeon for 26 years but his pics were of a youngish man, maybe mid to late 30’s. I found distinguishing details in the pictures and googled them. Lo and behold, he was using pics of the Bachelor Andy Baldwin lol.

I promptly unfollowed and blocked him. I considered continuing to talk to him and ask more about his medical background to try to trip him up (I’m a nurse) but figured it wasn’t worth my time. Anyway, beware of Dr Tony Chrissy

by: Anonymous

A month ago, I posted a message regarding a man named Deshi Chung who claims to be a Cyprus citizen. Since then he has been sending me romantic letters non-stop also chats daily. We have seen each other on video, which proves that he is the person of the photos he sent me. Then he requested to come to Taiwan to visit me, before picking up a payment of a very large sum in Los Angeles, US some 10 days ago.

He arranged flights and even made a hotel reservation in Taipei without even asking for money, up to here. When he got to Istanbul this morning (transit then continue on to Taipei in about 5 hours), he sent me a message saying that he somehow lost one of his passports (which was new, the other one being still valid, but without 180days validity to travel around), and claims that the immigration officers asked him for a fine of US$5400, and he has US$3800 as pocket money, and asked me to send him US$1600 ASAP.

I refused. He sent me previously a photoshopped boarding pass (he denied) which I found the original on the internet, but he still denied. Then he sent me a dialog image from his phone between him and a supposed business partner in Iran to help him with about US$547 and another friend in California to send US$439.

He then asked me to send US$500 to save him. I said NO. (today is a national holiday, labors day). I asked him to call his relatives in Cyprus, but he said they were never close, so no help. He also has only one new credit card along with a newly opened account for his payment that he picked up in LA, and the new card is not activated until 7 working days later.

I asked him why he does not have another credit card as he claimed to be an international businessman. Nothing adds up to his claims. The Cyprus embassy does not want to help him because he has a pending personal loan, despite showing his Cyprus citizenship (this is strange) and asked him to pay the astronomical fine requested by Turkey.

Now he just sent me some desperate message asking me to please send him US$614 ASAP or otherwise he would be sent to a deportation camp. He claims to love me and is bringing an engagement ring to Taiwan (yeah right!), but he never gave me his date of birth, never showed me his documents...etc.

He has told me that his parents are long dead, he is the only child, relatives with no close ties, works as a project manager for oil companies (last one in Turkey), now freelancer, wanted to marry me (always regards to my father in the nursing home, etc).

Pictures of forged a boarding pass, red flag!! and asking for money NO WAY!

Deportation is a good thing to him, since he still has Cyprus documents to prove his citizenship (supposedly, I never saw his documents), this is what I told him, to go back to Cyprus.

I have not blocked him yet, but I have sent him some info about deportation procedure and told him to get his relatives in Cyprus to call the EU office for humanitarian assistance.

I will update!

If any of you ladies have been contacted by this person, please be alerted!!

All the best!!

One good way of checking if they’re fake or not (and I always do this) is to insist on talking to them, and let them call you, because the accent will give them away! Terrible English, poor grammar, and horrible African accent!

Hi Ladies, I just blocked a guy who claimed the same BS! I let him talk to me and I kept playing his game for 3 days then I asked more and more questions and eventually confronted him. Look for repetitive grammar mistakes, weird way to ask questions, not American words, etc.

Also, it's pretty easy to recognize if somebody is not American if they keep using metrics for example. For me that was another sign. Also, he claimed he had the very same car as I do. Yeah right! :D The guy never got to the point of asking for money, but he started going way way too far right away.

He offered a New-Zealand trip without even meeting me in person. These scam artists are so stupid! Who does this? Normal guys would never act sooo emotional and loving right off the bat! So there are several red flags you will notice!

They start going way too far right at the beginning. REG FLAG basically in each sentence! Many many details indicate they are not real! So, be careful and never believe "doctors" in Syria! LOL

I can’t stress this enough if it’s too good to be true it is. And that lady who posted a message that the guy is a grade A scammer, stay away block him report to FBI and any man that has a sob story and tells you he loves you and wants to buy you stuff and everyone in his life is dead, well he is full of BS.

He will ask for an iTunes U card. Don’t send it because he can get your information from it. Next he will say his internet is being cut off and so you can still chat because he loves you soooooo much and wants to send money.

His next move is he wants to buy a house for you and a car an a ring which is all BS and then he will need plane fare so he can meet some people who are dumb like me and gave him 1100.

He says he cannot come because his plane was high jacked and his passport is gone which is all lies so don’t make the mistake I made.

But here is the silver lining. I met a great man who treats me amazing and I am so happy with him.

It’s been 4 wonderful months so ladies take my advice and don’t sell yourself short as you are smart and beautiful and courageous so stay strong
and Love will find you

by: Anonymous

Here’s one for you ladies. Joseph Lockwood, lockwoodjoseph007@gmail.com. This man poses as an American doctor at a clinic in Aleppo Syria. His Facebook page states he is from California, however there is no person in the city he posts, nor any doctor in California with this name.

So I went further and investigated the names of physicians in Aleppo Syria sent there by the United Nations. Again, his name is not there. Nor is his name anywhere within the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, another claim of his on Facebook.

This man will call you "babe", "baby ", & "baby girl" with no prompting. He rushes right in to tell you that his life with you will be happy and beautiful. Within days, he asked me for $5,000 to pay the "corrupt port authority" in Syria to retrieve his medical supplies needed for the clinic.

Because I have been an RN for 30 years, I proceeded to question him about medical diagnosis’ and he could not understand!!

He became angry and verbally abusive when I questioned him.

He has gray hair and is very well-dressed but is a loser who I wish the worst things happened to. He strung me along for almost 3 months and said he loves me, he wants to live in my house with me and with my daughter.

He wants to buy me a big engagement ring and have a wedding and find me a nice sports car. I was stupid and I fell for it as I was lonely but lo and behold I met a great guy and have been together for four months and he’s awesome so hang in there and hope for the best.

Met him on pof. His name is Sean and he lived in Brooklyn heights. Wanted to phone instead of text. Talked every day and he seemed like a nice gentle man. Was widowed and worked in machinery. Said he won a contract to remodel a condominium in Toronto. A 3 million dollar deal. This job was to take 6 weeks and he would retire and come to meet me.

He was in love with me and he'd never met me in person. This morning he called and said they wouldn't let him start the job without a permit. Could I loan him money for the permit and he will pay me back.

Scam.

I told him where to go and that I knew it was a scam. And hung up. Now he has not tried to contact me again so I know it's a scam. Also talked to john a jeweler in a Philadelphia scam. If they won't send a selfie it's probably a scam

Wow! Who even knew this was a thing! Was contacted about 5 weeks ago via Instagram by the above - very handsome, was reluctant to confirm follow as I didn’t know him but in checking his profile saw we had some mutual friends.

The first message came a week later, friendly chit chat and then got more probing about my family and life - feel stupid for being sucked in!!

Same story: from Florida, orphaned, wife and daughter killed 4 yrs ago, son in W.African boarding school, been with UN for 4 yrs, a religious man...asked we could alternate a prayer each evening!

His hours made me suspicious as did the frequent lapses in English and repeated messages.

Worried about my messages: what will he do with them? I’ve deleted everything. Yes, it was through hangouts and he used quite severe emotional blackmail when I became suspicious and told him I wanted to end contact. He didn’t ask for money or goods but did want me to send intimate photos: thank god I didn’t - was shocked when he sent images!!

Has to get out of there. He loves me madly and says life there is 50/50. Only has a computer. Cannot take pictures and needs money for plane out of there.

First he wanted Itunes cards. Did send one as I was stupid. Anyway somehow he got a plane and was coming to me but at 2am he woke me up with a story. His plane was hijacked and he is locked up. They took all his possessions and passport. Funny they let him keep his computer. He needs 15,000 for a lawyer to get out and come to me. I spotted him a while back but played along.

After he asked for the money I told him off and told him I knew about the Nigerian scams. Told him he's the scum of the earth and called him every name i could think if. Told him to rot in jail. Went off line and a minute later he texted me again about his problem and please help him

His name is Ken marc or ken mark or Ken moro or any combo. Talked on hangouts at his suggestion. He is persistent so beware. This went on for four months

Update on my previous post. I have continued talking to my lovestruck "Doctor" who now says he is desperate to come home and see me so has asked me to write to the base asking for special leave. I said I didn't know what to write so he said he would tell me what to write and sent me this, including the poor grammar.

I AM writing in respect of (Doctor Friedrich Guilherme Marco) who is currently on a contract

I write fr legal advice on how to get a urgent vacation to enable him to leave the base and cme to Portugal as soon as possible, I will appreciate if my humble request is considered

Below are his security details for proper verification

cam name: 4 TH Combat aviation Brigade Base Pakistanischen Stadt Quetta
APO#APO AE 09342
Doctor ID: CH 005585E
Name:Doctor Friedrich Guilherme Marco

Send to Departure.vacation@email.com

When I asked if they would ask why and for how long he said no they won't ask but tell them for 3 months. I then asked if it would be better to wait until his contract finished so he wouldn't have to go back and he said it was my choice but he would really like to come home so we could start making plans for our future when his contract ends.

The base and the APO he mentioned are in USA, the next part is in Pakistan and the ID and name don't exist.

My final reply was "You are delusional if you think I am continuing with this scam, get a proper job" then I deleted and blocked him.

Sorry it's a long post but I wanted to get all the information on here for others.

All he wanted to talk about was our bright future and I kept telling him I was not interested in marriage. I, thankfully, allowed only Instant messenger. And we have only been communicating for less than 24 hrs. He introduced himself while I was playing words with friends.

Ladies save yourself a broken heart and do not pay attention to all of these so called doctors. They are All scammers. They follow the same patten. Dead wives, kid in boarding schools, tragedies in their lives. Now or later they will ask for money to get them out of Syria or other places.
Do not trust these terrible men.

Until I learned my lesson I couldn't believe myself they were scammers. And I met two of them who were very skilled. Perfect english, very intelligent. The doctor in Syria was Edmund R Larsen from Baltimore. After 2 months of chatting he asked for 40 thousand dollars to pay for a private flight out of Syria to come to meet me!

He had a 14 year old daughter left with a teacher near Baltimore. I reported him to the FB where he contacted me. I am sure he operates under a different name now. His voice sounds like south African.

The second one was Walter Ackman who was saying he was from London. Perfect english accent, he asked for 20 thousand after a few weeks. Give me an account to send the money to a bank in Poland to somebody named Peter Ezekiel.

I researched the name and I found out that a lot of men in Nigeria have the same name and they speak perfect British English. I played him and I managed to get another name from him to send the money by moneygram and I got Dilek Hatun Elgin which is a turkish name.

Usually a women's name. May be his wife or girlfriend. I blocked him but he still operates on Hangouts under the same name. He got rid of his FB and Messenger. I reported him to the FB. What is really sad is they are all over the internet. All scammers pretending to be US generals, soldiers, sailors, marine engineers, oil rig workers etc.

If you meet John Hughes, Anderson Scott, Providence Agbi, Stephane Radet, Sam Nicole, Larry Lawrence, William Apro, George Lam, Lary Frank, Patrick Williams, Ducote Thomas, Frexerick Monelle, James Caldwell, JamesUNJames, Jean Phillipe, Daniel Ruiz, Laurent Pichette, Leon Michelson, Michel Dumont, Powell Green, Roger Lewis, Prevot Jean Francois, Solange Leduc, all from Triptogether site stay away. All are scammers.

Also from Instagram:Jthomas0009, pw700616, jjo9438189, clinton_94115, louisalberto141, david_bain555, mark Chris, Johnhenrich579, Jimmyrally123gmail, Robertgoodlove, gregfranklin.

PLEASE Ladies do not get involved with these men and others. They will promise eternal love to get to your pocket or to get your personal information. It is sad because they are so many on these sites. But do not give up hope. One day you will meet that real loving person you are waiting for!

It all seemed great to start with, lots of compliments, photos of him at work, with his colleagues and of his son at school and then I read this page.

I asked him if he had facebook so we could find out more about each other but he doesn't use it any more so I told him I had been reading on the internet about the scams and asked if he could prove any of what he told me as what I read had scared me (not at all I just wanted to get the truth) but his reply was "I hate doubt so it's better we stay away from each other"

His name was Rio Frances and he aid he was a widow and had a sixteen year old boy. I told my son who is a computer science student and he found the man with three different names and the same pictures.

I told Rio and he said someone stole his identity. So I said prove who you are and then I then blocked him

Scammers are on IG too - (1) DylanHarrison253 (IG account), (2) Dudley Macgrey, and (3) Larry Edwards. All DM me on IG.

#1 claimed to be a construction field supervisor in the UK. Lost his parents, divorced and is a single father. He was very charming and sweet, and after a few weeks, he asked for money. After I NICELY told him no, he was nasty and verbally abusive. We had been chatting via email and he emailed me and requested for my Verizon login info. I put him in my spam. I will block him if he contacts me again.

#2 lives in FL. I forget what his job was, but he told the same sob stories and even "lost his best friend." Then, he pretended like he wanted money, and became verbally abusive. So, I ignored him.

#3 is the same as all the rest as son is in the US, he's an orthopedic surgeon for the UN in Saudi. Has not asked for money, but since I cannot find him on the UN's list of Doctors, it confirms that he's a scam too.

Thank you so much for this post!

I never have responded except for hello and he has been begging me to join WhatsApp. (I don't even know what that is) or give him my gmail. Have not done any of that. Told him I don't chat.

Tonight earlier he told me he is a surgeon in Syria working thru United Nations medical department in a safe camp. Widowed, wife died few years ago in gas explosion. So I started some searching and ended up at this site.

I hope this is a real site....not run by the Nigerians.

The same story like yours, wife died before 6 y, 14 old doughter in a US school. I was suspicious and then he called me using video call, and it was really him.

The pictures are not fake. I don't understand because he did not ask for money, he wanted me to contact the UN for his vacation because he can't live without me anymore after 10 days chatting.

The same stupid mail unitednation.un_124@yahoo.com

I don't know what he wants but he didn't ask me for money, but maybe to try to get from me info about my ID card or passport or maybe banking information.

I told him I don't want to give some info about me, as it's not about me but it's your vacation. Always when I say no I don't want to he asks me how do you mean? I don't understand you.

And yes, he always asks me did you eat today, have you eaten. Could someone can put the link from UN where are all the doctors are with a contract with UN?

I notice it's different names now appearing. It's probably a man who has used numerous names before, to try and scam women.

DR Roland Smith MSF (Twitter) and Dr Davide Smith (Twitter) are the same Nigerian scammer and I think this same person is now operating as James Chandler. Look on Twitter for their photos.

We've been chatting and sending pics back n forth but my gut is telling me something is very wrong. Being lied to is what's led me to be alone for 3 years! Now I'm ready to get back out there and the only reason I tried a dating app was because I didn't want to meet someone in a bar and I work a LOT!!

If ANYONE out there can help me find out as he's sent photos, sent me sweet messages etc. If anyone has a picture of THEIR DOCTOR from Syria I would love to see it BEFORE I go further.

Has anyone been contacted by a man named Deshi Chung through LinkedIn who claims to be in Istanbul Turkey presently, from Limassol, Cyprus, Chinese father (banker) and Cypriot mother (nurse), both killed in a car accident over a decade ago.

He claims to be 38, a petroleum project manager (completion). Planning to move to China with own business and orphanage in mind. Did some modelling while in high school. Asked me to chat on WeChat. I have checked his picture for stolen ID, and he came clean with all the photos he sent to me.

So far, he has repeatedly, since the very beginning of our chat that he has saved money of his own, with only an elderly uncle (mother's side) left in Cyprus. He needs to retrieve his father's documents and settle properties (been in Turkey for 4 years). Has 3 cars (automatic). I have already confronted him by saying : hope you are not a scammer" to which he replied that he had a fair share of them, and his friend almost got scammed recently by a lady from the US.

Then I spotted some bottled love messages (those copied from the Internet), which raised a red flag and confronted him again, to which he replied: I am not a scammer, I don't want your money, I have my own money, I just want to meet a woman with whom I can live with (something like that), for a repeated time. So, I kind of gave him another chance, and he continued chatting with me as usual.

If you have any clues, please let me know! thank you very much in advance!!

Thank you all for the comments.

I've been getting messages off some guy who is from Austin Texas claiming to be a widow who is a surgeon working with the united nations. This started on Instagram and he wanted to chat on hangouts.

I've never used hangouts before. I've not sent him any money nor am I going too. My biggest worry is he was desperate for my location. Everytime he asked me for my location something popped up in the message for me to send my location. I never clicked on it however during sending pics I accidently sent one of my daughter.

Now this may be my anxiety working overtime but what if he is after my daughter? He seemed to ask a lot of questions before I accidently sent it. I never told him her name.

I need to block this guy.

I asked what regiment he was in and he couldn’t answer. Not asked for anything yet but he called me and didn’t sound American more Nigerian.
I Looked into the photos he sent and the images are of a Raymond Chandler who’s retired and is aware his images are being used and there was an article in the Washington post that I found on line.

Hi For the lady who posted a comment on 9th March about what red flags to look out for. They usually follow numerous women on social media, never usually men who may have similar interests.
They call you babe, honey or dear (so they can copy paste and send the same message to multiple ladies).

Usually handsome men in jobs such as military Dr or maybe a soldier. Widowed child usually in a boarding school ( n my experiences usually Africa).

They are online all the time and have a fairly good connection to say they’re in a war zone.
Like to talk on hangouts. Fall in love with you straight away and can’t live without you (usually after a few days),

I’m sure there’s more but hope this helps. This is what I’ve read and experienced. You can also reverse google their photo and it will tell you where else it’s posted. Usually a dating site.

Be careful these men are seriously strange to do this to innocent ladies.

Take care of yourself.

I was contacted by again an orthopaedic surgeon in Kabul. Wife died giving birth to second child. His daughter is 11 in a boarding school in US. Very caring clever and very good English. He is alone in this world longing to go to his daughter. Asked me to write to the general for a replacement. Then an amount of 17500$ to be transferred because he cannot reach him account in good time.

Of course I did not follow any of his requests especially when he sent me the general email in the us military as it always ends with mill. No hotmail or gmails. Doctors in UN cannot ask for leave.

Soldiers do not pay for tickets treatments.

When I asked him who that was he said Desmond was his middle name and Bustos was the name of his son who had passed. I googled Dr. Desmond Bustos who is not a white man. Could not help his wife who died of breast cancer 5 years ago. Said he was "all alone." No mention of being a surgeon on facebook profile.

I am an RN and wound specialist. Not only did he not sound like a doctor, he had nothing to say about medical terms I used. All he said was "I understand." Sent me a photo of himself in a nice office in Syria??

He was offended when I tried to very his status as a surgeon from New York City.

The medical license # he gave belongs to a dead man. Curiosity got the best of me so we chatted more. Within a few days his son was in a school bus accident. And yes he is now looking for money...sorry buddy. I'm not even sure if the same guy was chatting with me after the bus accident. He certainly lost all his charm.

This man contacted me via Words with friends. He started with liking my profile then asking where I live and what was my job. He told me he was working in Syria as a doctor and the part he put in looked liked it had been copied and pasted.

The English in that piece was better than the English in his posts. He then asked me he talk on Hangouts. I often asked him questions but he never really replied. He said his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident in America and he had a 16 yr old son being looked after by his teacher in England. I though the photo was slightly familiar and was wondering if it was an actors photo. Must admit I was taken to him.

I invited him to my country to see me and he said to do that I would need to write to the United Nations so he gave me an email address which didn’t look right. I don’t think that the UN's email would end with hotmail.com. But still I hung in to see what would happen.

They sent a message back and said I would need to send $2500USD so he could be released. As I did not have it I did not send it. I have deleted him from Words with friends and Hangouts. I still have the email, with the bank and account number for me to make the payment. I may write to them and they can trace the recipient of the funds. I work in a bank and see many people scammed by people like him.

Hi. For the lady that posted about this man, the photos are stolen. He contacted via video call, and he didn’t tell me he was a 32 year old man from Ghana (he said he wanted me to know the truth and surprise me - yes ladies definitely a surprise ).

The low life rat then had the nerve to invite me to Ghana to see him (so we could get married). I declined the offer.

Roland Smith told me he was a 58 year old man with a 10 year old daughter called Mimi. He’s very charming sends nice images and contacts you day and night. Even after telling me his true identity he still emails me as Dr Roland Smith - I said they had mental health issues.

If you reverse google image the photos it will show other sites such as dating sites where these men are registered.

I think most of these comments are about the same men. I think they have multiple accounts with different identities. Dr Roland Smith has different accounts under different identities, and after I stopped communicating with him he followed and messaged me under a different identity ‘to see what I would do and if I was faithful to him’.

I think these men have some serious mental health issues. Dr Roland Smith revealed himself by video calling me to show his identity. He’s a young man in Ghana. Actually he apologised for what he did, "because he loved me so much" - I don’t think so.

He continues to operate on social media.

If you get a follower request and they follow mainly women this is usually a red flag.

He is really attentive, sweet and the perfect boyfriend material with good night texts, phone calls all the time on hangouts, texting for hours, poems, love talk, and asks you to marry him.

His daughter had to be relocated to Las Vegas due to the California Fires. Says he is coming out to see you as soon as his contract finished. Said wants to take me on a trip so will take one more job in Turkey, and send a video of him leaving the rig in a helicopter, with his matched pictures on profile, it also showed suitcases packed on a rig in Mexico, and showed it landing and him in a car with a driver in Turkey and pictures eating with his new boss.

Sent lots of pictures, him eating, in his room at the hotel room with two beds. Sent a pic of a letter from Turkey Customs and copy of a check when the contract apparently ended. Turkey required 5,000 tax to be paid, and he sent a pic of 1,000 cash he has left, and says he could not collect his money until paid, and he also said HSBC bank in Turkey would not cash the cheque, as it has to be cashed in the USA.

He has no atm or credit card as bad credit apparently. Wanted money for food as he had to send his last money to register his daughter in a new school. He then said he needs money for hotel room and wanted me to go get a loan and wanted my credit score. I did not give it to him, and lied as I said they wouldn't give me a loan.

Then he wanted me to cash in RRSP stocks and send to him. I Refused, and called him a thief and con artist and scammer. He also sent a link asking me to send banking info and passwords to internet banking. I told him that was against the law and fraud. The bank would have him arrested.

Once you learnt that you have been lured by a con artist, BLOCK email address and phone number of him so that you won't look at or hear disgusting contacts, and he will give up communication with you. However as previous comments advised, store all emails, messengers and photos exchanged and if possible, print out / screen shot of the record of phone calls received.

Be aware of this very charismatic man. May contact you via Words With Friends. He will then ask you to join Hangouts - the App of scammers I think. He will tell you he has a dead wife and one son Nathan living in Mobile being cared for by a carer while he is away. No other family apart from an uncle that he has lost contact with, However later in conversations he will mention a sister. When you question him on that he will say that she is really a cousin that he feels is close enough to be his sister. OMG.

Says he in an engineer working on the platform off The Shores in Alabama - says he is from Mobile Alabama. Very good scammer however, it wont take long before he tells you that he has no internet left & wont be able to talk - he needs $100 for his internet until his contract ends in a few weeks.

DONT SEND ANYTHING.

He will then revert to being charming & the next request will be for $500 as he doesn't get paid until his contract ends and his son has run out of money for food.

DONT SEND ANYTHING.

He will plead & beg but stand your ground telling him that you don't any money either.

I have been playing along for a few weeks now just to see how far he will go - now he needs $4000 as there was an accident on the platform & he was nearly killed, & that he has to fix the damage as it is his contract & his bank has frozen his overdraft until he gets paid.

He will beg you to get money for him from your bank and even ask you to take out a loan or borrow from your friends - he will pay you back as soon as he has finished his contract. He loves you. Would never do anything to hurt you.

Just wants to get off the platform & be with you!!!!!!Yeah right.

DONT SEND ANYTHING AS YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.

This is now where I stop playing the game and block him.

Please be very wary ladies.

Hi. Regarding the last post I’ve kept emails and messages for this purpose. Although I don’t respond to Dr. Smith anymore, I still have the details and emails he sent, and he knows some of my details unfortunately. Therefore I am keeping the information for anything that may happen.

It’s frustrating that this man still operates on social media and is probably giving some vulnerable lady the same sob story right now.

I feel sorry for the innocent man who’s profile has been stolen, when Roland smith rang me so I could ‘hear his voice’ he was Nigerian.

He’s not the man in the photos with a young child.

"I deleted my hangout account so now he definetly can't get in touch with me."

Yeah, correspondence with perpetrators really suck and I want to delete everything. Cutting the communication avenue is vital but even if you have not been swindled, records of correspondences may help investigation by the law enforcement in the future.

Also, if you have given your personal information to catfish, scammers or whatever, then your information (such as name DOB, email address/IP address, phone number etc.) can be used for criminal activities. E.g. counterfeit passport, opening bank account/credit card for money laundering and purchase something, use for computer hacking.

The damages you will incur is not limited to financial loss, but you can be a suspect of illicit activities by a perpetrator and/or the third party. In that case, the correspondence records will be evidences to prove that you are innocent.

Unfortunately the site administrators of SNS and dating/matching service are unwilling to take appropriate measures when you report with certain evidences and information. Yet, you should make a claim to the site administrators, and report to the law enforcement agency (e.g. local police, FBI, Interpol ). You do not necessarily have to press charges. Information from you may help their investigation as some cases involve cross-border organized crime. Of course there are many individual fraudsters out there though.

But that's not all, I asked him his ethnic background more than once, once he answered White American Citizen, but I let it go to see how far he would try to go. I asked a second time and he said White American, but I reinforced the question after his stupid answer (Ethnic Background???) How a doctor don't know what ethnic background means.

With regard to Henry Wallace or Anthony Craven mentioned on January 28, posted by the lady who met via POF, the phone number of Mr. Wallace 206 866-2962 is of Seattle, Washington (check the phone number lookup). That suspicious man uses henry82@gmail.com

But you can't detect a location of a sender using gmail email service by "view source message" unlike other email service such as outlook/hotmail.

Phone number and emails include important clues of predators, and in some cases exchanges of contacts help investigations by law enforcement agencies. So, stop contact with con artists but keep the communication record in case.

Lastly, even if you find a location of your ideal guy is in North America, Australia or Europe, it does not mean he is OK. There is an Irish perpetrator who uses his residential address in Dublin, Ireland as well as the sub-location in Seattle, US.

After a few days of chatting he started telling me he loved me and sending flowery texts at which point I realised he was too good to be true. I asked him to prove that he was in fact Dr Hopkin.

He Won't answer questions about himself or his family. He sent a photo of his driving licence which had the wrong date of birth on it if he was 58. I told him what I thought of him. He actually rang me up. I have more of American accent than him and I'm British. He trips himself up by using words in the wrong context or wrong tense which a well educated doctor wouldn't do.

When a juggler finds that his target does not have money or unwillingness to send money to him, a juggler goes mad instead of leaving quietly.

An Irish airman J. P living in Dublin who has been on Veggieconnection (posing as a single guy and claims he is seeking a wife and girlfriend) talks about the financial crisis of his family business (sales of electric devices) in Waterford run by his parents and younger brother to a target he hooked. In order to get sympathy, he told about some sad stories e.g. lay-off the employees.

But when J.P noticed that a woman did not offer any financial help for his family, he does not mention about the matter anymore. Instead, after a while, J.P then talks about his dreams of after his retirement from aviation. Some of his dreams are farming and involvement in animal sanctuary. Yet when a woman shows not much interest in cooperation, suddenly a spouse of J.P appears and the couple curse and intimidate.

Despite the sudden appearance of J.P's wife, J.P has been still active on the dating site posing as a single man seeking wife and/or girlfriend.

Even an individual whom you actually meet in person through the matching service does not mean he is real, safe and honest.

Hi ladies!

If you have been communicating with the Irish airman named John Richard Power (either in Dublin or various cities in the US), stop contact and keep all corresponding records.

John Power has been on VeggieConnection about a decade and a half (joined early 2000s) for searching girlfriends and / or a wife, but he is already married. Once John Power contacted a girl on that dating site, he blocked his profile (personal ads) in order not to be viewed from the girls he hooked. He asks you to go off-line immediately and flies to see you in person very soon, could be within a couple of weeks from the initial contact!

But you will receive intimidating emails from both Mr. & Mrs Power (named Liza originally from Guatemala, one of the countries consists Northern Triangle) years later. The couple share the personal information getting from the girls whom he met on the site.

False pretence on the internet matching sites is illicit and often involved in ID theft and fraud. Therefor, you had better consult law enforcement or any authorities about the possibilities of misuse of your personal information that is given to John Power. The airline in which John Power works for turns out two arrests in 2017 who had been engaged in human smuggling by means of the workplace resources (uniforms and truck) for a long time and one of the traffickers committed money laundering as well.

Yes and just like all the rest of the posts he was an Ortho Surgeon working for NATO who contract was up in February 2018.

He was intelligent, funny sent many photos of himself even of when he was a child and teenager, 30's and 40's etc. We continued to chat on HANGOUTS (WATCH OUT WHEN THEY ASK FOR THIS SITE) until he had the same problem as all the rest and needed to get a portfolio out of Belgium etc. etc. Then requested it be sent to me and I would have to pay the charges of EU3,890 to be shipped. He even had the "shipping co" email me.

I knew it was a scam and kept asking questions and he would sometimes get upset. In the end I called him out on it. Please do not friend this man.

Dr. Fritz Dieterich, German born, lived in Chicago was head of certain hospitals before joining NATO. No children divorced for 7 years lost most his money in the divorce.

Please be aware!!!!

Thanks for your comments about reporting these low lifes to the fbi. I was hesitant at first because I felt so incredibly foolish that I let myself be taken in and lost all of my hard hard-earned money.

Dr James Brown email is drjamesbrownun200@gmail.com

so if he contacts you avoid him at all costs as he is a scammer of the highest order and he will try and get you to send money through western union moneygram or ria and his agent is Thomas blessing ebiye who is in Nigeria so please ladies beware and don't be foolish like I was.

He is a very evil man and should be stopped at all costs and I intend to report him to every agency that I can to try and stop him from doing this to another innocent person

I was contacted firstly via the Words With Friends App by Orthopaedic Surgeon Alex Williams working for the UN in Syria. After several days of nice general chit chat he asked me to download Hangouts app, which I did.

He said he was from Chicago and that his wife and eldest son were killed in an accident 5 years ago & that his youngest son is currently in a private boarding school in the US.

He said his contract was ending on 21 December & that he would be returning home to start up a lucrative business. His general chatting soon turned to romance and a marriage proposal. I then got a distressing message saying that money that was being held by a security company was going to be destroyed unless he paid the Attorney for the security company $4,000 dollars to have the suitcase holding his money ($4,000,000.00) was going to be destroyed. He said he was paid $1,000,000.00 in cash which he deposited into a locked account in the USA.

Ding...ding... scam!!!!

I played along but said I didn’t have any money to help him out & that I would have to take out a loan - that didn’t bother him. He was very careful not to answer any of my questions too. He forwarded a letter of request from the Attorney Mark Michael & when I questioned him on the fact that there was no legal firm logo or letterhead, no address & no phone number he kept on pressuring me to pay the money and do what the Attorney asked.

He has also given me the name of the secretary who would be picking the money up & her PO Box number. I told him that there needed to be a real Address not a P.O. box. I told him there was no way that I was paying any money out and called him out as a scammer.

Appears the ideal man and is very romantic and sends nice images and tells you how beautiful you are and how he wants to marry you. Asked for the safe keeping of some items and he has overdue fees that need paying - reduces contact when refused.

Openly said he will look on twitter social media sites for someone to pay these. Please warn all female friends, relatives and colleagues. There are actually 3 Dr Smiths on twitter. Has anyone else experienced this person, I sometimes doubt myself and feel he is genuine.

But feel he was setting me up to scam me. Please let me know if you have come across this man.

Told me he was widowed and had a son. After exchanging messages only 2 days, he was getting deployed to Syria, all he needs is someone to request him to return.

I quickly started asking questions. Told him I was being scammed or catfished. He denied "by who?" Then when I asked about his son, but said I could not refer back because he deleted our Bumble conversation.

In Syria, had a daughter who was with a nanny in Australia for security reasons because of his job we spoke for a while longer told me he was a widower and wanted a serious relationship.

The first time he asked for money was for leave to come and see me and I was contacted by a supposedly lawyer who I was told would email me documents concerning the said leave but there was an international travelling fee that had to be paid before leave was granted of £1000 which stupidly I sent and then my friend contacted me and told me that u.s military couldn't fly him home alone on a jet and he would have to pay £650 towards the cost which again I sent as he told me that he couldn't access his bank account in Syria for security reasons.

He is a scammer. You should block him and save yourself a broken heart. I was there that's why I know. He was Dr EDMUND S LARSEN. See my comment from November.

Also Damascus And a very skilled scammer. Good english. And he become nasty after I refused to send money for his transport to come to see me.
He will ask for money in the near future. There is a list with UN doctors but I am sure he is not on that list.

Also watch out for new tricks they have. I met more guys online. Some will say to take their kids for holiday and will ask you to send money for their kids plane ticket. Or ask for money for a phone for that kid. Or ask for money for emergency treatment for their kid or some of these scammers will ask for your information like they are somewhere on the open seas and they are afraid of pirates and they need your information to send you a box with valuables.

Watch out if this scammer is in Syria as he will give you a UN email and you are supposed to write to this email to ask for leave for him saying you are his fiancee. The email won't be good and he will ask for your login information for your email. Did happen to me. You should block this "doctor" and walk away from him.

I have been texting with this man over a month. He claims to be a widower of 7 years and having a 16 year old son, named Michael. He states he has been affiliated with the UN for 20 years and has been stationed in Damascus’s for the last 4 years... so doing the math( he says he’s 57) 57-24=33, which is about right for a specialty surgeon.

Claims to be from Hreemville North Carolina. I have searched the voter registry once I found the county. Nothing. I referred to white and yellow pages for Greenville and surrounding areas. Still nothing.

I surmised he would have finished his post grad by 1994. So went to the year book! A Garrett Michell however it was a totally different person than what Garrett michell’s profile looks like.

HE HAS TOUCHED MY HEART but I am still Leary. Especially since he advised me not to share our relationship with anyone.

Cut a story short they mention that they have one child in Boarding school, he is divorced and he mentions about the money they receive in Apello and it must be delivered to you and you need to sign for it but there must be a fee that you need to pay of $285 to receive the cash.

Why should l pay to receive the money which is not mine.

Promise of love and marriage right away. He was in construction In San Antonio, Texas, a widow, with a daughter. He showed all kinds of photos and even a video while he was at a party. He gave me 2 phone numbers, but never answered. Just messages but we did text on one of the numbers.

I have an address as well. This guy was good but I questioned everything which really annoyed him. He is very good at what he does - Scamming!!

He knows how to build trust with all the photos and he even showed me him at work, sitting behind his desk (hahaha)

Dr. Cobby Brown. This con man says he is an Orthopaedic Surgeon from Everett Massachusetts. Con Man Brown can be found on Facebook, Instagram and by googling his name under scammer. This man says the most charming things to scam women in the name of love.

He stated he was divorced with one child. He advised how he was so depressed over his wife cheating on him numerous of times. He stated that he was finally ready to settle down and found true love. Cobby Brown stated he was a contracted Surgeon with the U.N. His last contract job with the U.N. was going to be in be India.

However, after a week in India, he stated that Chase Bank froze his account because someone hacked his account. Con Cobby stated he didn’t have money to return home and he wanted me to take out a $2000 loan to help him.

I informed him that I didn’t have $2000 to send him. Later he advised he had his Godson and some other people to help him but, he was still short of funds. Sadly, to say, I fell for his lies and lost $550.

Please don’t fall for this devil lies. Later, Cobby stated how heartbroken he was because he didn’t have enough money to get his flight to come see me. When I informed Cobby Brown about being a scammer, he said more charming words to deny the fact. Lastly, the turning point was when Cobby was chatting with me online and all a suddenly, he received a text from his nanny. Cobby the con artist stated that he was freaked out because his little girl need emergency surgery because she had a Wilms Tumor.

Yes, the Cobby Brown aka CON stated he needed $2000 before they would perform the surgery. At this point I advised Cobby that I wanted my money and he was a con, he then blocked me from social media.

Similar to NOV 13, 2017 post. He is a Doctor from Boston Massachusetts. Working overseas in a war zone. He lost his wife 6 years ago to cancer and has a 14 year old son who is in a UK boarding school.

My sister started chatting with him on Facebook and then Skype and Messenger. After a few days she sent a Western Union Money Order to the UK. His son had broken/lost mobile phone and he wanted $1800 to buy a new iPhone. Some security lock down story as to why he had no access to money to give son. I called him out as a scammer. She said no he wasn't...and even told him I had said that to her.

After 4 weeks she told us he wanted to fly out from where stationed to meet her and family. She talked about marriage and moving to America in the future. She borrowed money to pay for flight he said he needed money for. Myself and family were stunned and told her it was a scam and don't send the money.

Anyway he didn't make the flight. She denied he asked for money again. He told her his gold has been held up in customs and he needs $10,000 to pay taxes owed I suppose. She is angry with us and doesn't want to admit he is a fraud.

Today I accept for friendship a face that took me about 15 minutes talking to him to know he was BS and I blocked him. He told me he was british american but in the picture he look Hindu, and he said he was a military doctor.

I asked him what branch and he answered a surgeon, apparently military doctors don't know branch means navy, marines, army, etc. He gave me a story of a dead wife, his face profile has no likes from doctors only woman who are all divorced or single from different parts of the country, none from his supposedly home town and most important there's no doctor in US with his misspelled name.

Easy to check in the doctors online registry. Anyway I know sometimes we are lonely and want to talk to somebody, but never give your adress, restrict info they can see, never send money, and research the career they are pretending to be as easy as Google it.

Ask a difficult question and they should be able to answer and they won't. In other words if it's too good to be true, its false and all men are liars, try for a local men in your area where you can see his family, job and records.

He signed a 4 year contract with the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission. He was located in Kubul, Afghanistan.

He told me he preferred chatting on Hangouts.
We carried on chatting on Hangouts for several days, and he told me he loved me and could not wait for us to be together for a lifetime, and he also asked me to marry him.

I did see red flags so played along.

Today he asked to help get his safe box, as the security company was folding and he needed me to keep his money safe. His attorney asked for $1,200 plus personal info to get the said box to me.

I was to wire cash via Western Union.

When I confronted Frank he was furious with me as to believe he was a scammer. He even sent his UN ID to me that looks official but, doubt it is.

Has anyone heard of this guy.

I thought I saw his picture on a site called male-scammers.com. It stated he was from Nigeria. I would feel bad if he was legit, but still would not send him money. Said his birthday was 11/12. He is 62.

I will admit, I did enjoy all his compliments. He stated he signed up for a 5 year contract with the United Nations working as a cardiologist.

He "loved me" so much he wanted to break his contract and come here with me. The catch was he needed $1200 for permission to leave on a vacation. As much as he professed his undying love for me, I came up with all kinds if excuses why I didn't have any money to send.

He eventually said he saw no future in our relationship and needed to end his heartache for not being able to leave Syria asap.

Tells me he can only get time off at Christmas if I request it!!! Sure I will do this for him being a guy I don’t know. Yeah that makes sense !!!’

Then he tells me he loves me and calls me dear. He says he told his son I will replace his mother .... anyway you get the idea. He has sent me photos of him but claims it’s hard to take photos due to security reasons but his friend managed to get a quick one in the SECRET ROOM.

I have asked him to FaceTime but as yet has not, I’m gonna play him st his own game. He goes under the name of Alexandra Marquis Davies

starstarstarstarstar 		Dr James Bryan - Orthopaedic Surgeon US Army
by: Anonymous

Hi, I am in Australia. I woke up this morning to a fb request from a guy called Dr James Bryan. His profile says he is from Houston, Texas, is an orthopaedic surgeon in the US Army, that he graduated from Westpoint and currently lives in Germany(possibly stationed there with the Army if true).
His profile pic is a very handsome man, caucasian looking. I haven't responded yet because my alarm bells went off straight away. Why would an orthopaedic surgeon be contacting me so far away. Surely he would be too busy to do that.

Has anyone had any contact from this man?

by: Anonymous

I'm going through the same thing now. I was found through Facebook. I looked up his profile picture. He is definitely a good looking man and tells you everything a woman wants to hear. He said he was a doctor and that his wife has passed and he has a five-year-old son. Things went great the first few days until he started asking me for money telling me his child has malaria and needs to medication.

But I told him I didn't have it and he asked if I could send him a credit card. I told him my situation and it was impossible and why would he be asking me for help when you're a doctor. I'm sure he would have plenty of credit cards. He told me because of being in the UK Bank of America closed his account and he doesn't have access to it. I work for a bank and I know that if you have an account with us you can definitely call and tell them your situation and they will not freeze your account.

I'll tell you ladies he's really good at what he says and how he makes you feel. If he asks you to file for vacation time and tell them you were his fiancé, don't do it as it will cost you money and it all goes to his pocket. If you need to request time off he himself can do so without any money coming out of your pocket.

Beware ladies. He is handsome and easy to talk to.

starstarstarstarstar 		Twitter UN doctor
by: Jessica

So this man sent me a couple of DM's on Twitter before I finally responded. He was clearly trying to charm me, sending me a video of that titanic song and stuff.

Same story as most. This man claims he is a doctor with the UN in Afghanistan. Has been in the US military for 14 years. Plans on retiring when he is done in 15 months, and opening a hospital. I didn't let him get to the point of asking me for money. I just talked to him yesterday and stopped it today. He claimed that his wife died from polycystic kidney disease 8 years ago and he was ready to move on. Says he doesn't have any kids. Said he was from Washington DC, but lives in Baltimore, MD. But somehow, he spent most of his time in the UK?

His English was broken and he seemed confused by situations happening in the US (such as insurance stuff, in regards to hospitals). Nothing really seemed to add up.

He had way too much time to spend on Twitter for being a military doctor dealing with a suicide bomber a couple of days ago. He was messaging me all day, which I ignored, because I had stuff to do. Then all night. It was like he never slept, and the times didn't add up (if he was actually in Afghanistan). It would add up better if he was in Nigeria.

I woke up this morning to this poem:

"The darkness of the night has disappeared and the moon has taken shelter. Now, the sun is here and the sky is as blue as ever. Wake up and open your beautiful eyes because I have a little sweet word for you. Good morning dear friend"

It's listed word for word on a site for poems for your lover, LOL! I'm a softy, so I was nice about putting a stop to it. Since he didn't ask me for money yet, I don't 100% know it's a scam, but it seems very, very fishy (especially since there are a couple of similar profiles with a variation of the name). But I just told him I wasn't interested.

I've gotten friend requests from these guys on Facebook since my status changed to widowed a couple of years ago. They are easy to tell on Facebook (few photo's, no postings, friends, ect). But on Twitter, I made the mistake of engaging.

Be very careful ladies! Most of these military love seekers are scammers just looking to hook you and get your money. Please don't fall for it! They know that women who are widowed are vulnerable and they want to take advantage.

Like others have said, if it's too good to be true, it is!

Jason said he is in love with me after 3 short chat on the dating app. He claimed to be a freelance engineer and hv taken courses on architect and based in London. After we have one call, he kept on calling every day, morning and before sleep and always said call in love with me without a reason. I worked in an UK based company and chat with UK workmates frequently. I questioned to his non England accent and he claimed I’m the first one to tell him such.

He asked for my WeChat account and claimed that he doesn’t use other chat apps but WeChat. Sounded weird for a UK man, right?. He doesn’t have fixed colleagues and physical company coz of cost saving but can bid a GBP 45Billion project in Dubai. Amazing.

One of his past projects in Turkey got collapsed, and the responsible person got in touch with him and asked him to get to Turkey and handle the case. A mature businessman like Jason didn’t check for the actual situation, like injuries and just went alone without colleagues (he claimed freelance and keeps no colleagues) and lawyer.

He lost his wallet in Turkey and didnt know what to do and needed to seek my advice. I got him to report to police and cut all the cards. He can finish police reporting and cut 3-4 cards, and suspend online banking within 15 min. Thoughout the process, he acts like a teenager and didn’t know what to do.

In the end, he asked for money because he has cut all the cards. He wants me to send a small amount to his UK lawyer for his airticket thru western union. Lawyer should be paid in one bill. Even for airticket, he should be sent to the law firm’s account but not personal account I believe.... just want to see how this game goes.

Was contacted via facebook and asked to join hangout right away. Said he was a Doctor with the NATO Organization (I have friends who work for NATO) stationed in Syria (right, right, right).

Claimed to be from Italy and a widower with a 15 yr old son named Dennis who goes to a boarding school in Georgia. In all honesty, I was having fun with this guy because I knew he wasn't for real. I asked for a video in real time of him saying hello to me and he sent a old video of some doctor he's been impersonating. Said his specialties were pediatric, plastic, vascular and general surgery.

That list doesn't even make sense. LOL...After 3 days of chatting, suddenly he's in love. Laughable! He sent a picture of whatever doctor he was impersonating saying he was "just starting work" but whoever he was he didn't realize there was a clock on the wall in the background of the photo. Clock said 8:05 yet if he's in Syria, it should've said 3:05 because of the time difference.

I finally had enough fun after sending a message that if he ever tried contacting me again, I'd report him to the proper authorities. Deleted hangout app from my phone. This is all so comical to me!!!

We've been emailing and chatting on Google Hangouts for days, but then I finally googled him, the only hits of any use were on Facebook, where someone with this name is on with pictures like those he had sent me of himself and the daughter, but the older posts are all seemingly related to Africa.

Hello, I wondered if anyone had been contacted by someone using this name, claiming to be an orthopedic surgeon from Venice, Italy, working with the UN in Yemen and living in White Plains, NY, when off duty. Says he has a 12-year-old daughter, Tracy, who lives in Virginia with his ex-wife, who broke his heart by cheating on him with his best friend. He has been emailing me daily with extravagant professions of love, YouTube music, etc., and says he would give up the UN job to be with me.

We have also been chatting on Google Hangout. When I challenged him yesterday after I found this and similar sites through Googling, he emailed me a copy of an Italian passport for someone with the name he uses--the photo looks like the photos he had sent earlier and all the information on birthdate, etc., agrees with what he had told me, but of course that doesn't prove that he is actually that person.

He also says he will skype but has to do it from an information center. (I've never skyped so would have to find out how myself.) A Facebook page for someone with his name shows pictures of the same person and of the daughter (or the girl he'd sent me pictures of), but they were added just a few days ago and the older entries on the page seem to be related to Indonesia or Africa. (Of course, he claims to have visited 60-70 countries with his UN work.)

Any information would be appreciated--thanks.

We then open private hospital here in SA and he can't wait to have kids with me and he wants twins. He is the only child his parents died when he was young, he was raised by his uncle, his wife died 2014 since then he never dated anyone because he was still grieving for his wife.

The problem started when he wanted to send some gift, and I agreed on that, but the next morning I received a call from a lady claiming she is working at the receiving (courier) my parcel has arrived, and I must clear it, so to clear my parcel I will have to pay R7503 so when I told my lovely husband that I don't have that money he was angry, that's when I knew he is not real.

Received a friend request from this guy on facebook. Had a quick look at his profile, good looking fella so accepted but went ahead with caution.

Instantly he messaged me through messenger. He claimed to be from Switzerland but has been living in the USA for near on 10yrs. He is supposedly working for the government in Syria with UN troops as a medical doctor. I was very skeptical so went along with it for now. He asked me to tell him a little about myself so I did. I wanted to know a bit about him, so asked him. All I got was that he had a son. Nothing about a wife or ex=wife. He asked me for my email address so we could keep in contact because of our time differences. So I said ok & sent it to him. Mind you at this point in time, I'm getting gut feelings something isn't right.

Before I even recieved an email, I tried to google this guy but found nothing. I once again checked his facebook profile but went a bit more indepth. Only pics of himself, no posts. So I dug deeper. Lives in Ghana, went to some Education uni over there. Dug further. He likes men & women plus she is happy in her own body....yes I said "she

My instincts were going crazy, so I have an email ready to send at just the right time so I'm going to string this mongrel along for a bit.

I did recieve an email from him/her about 10 minutes after giving him/her my email address. I cracked up laughing because my suspicions were correct. He said he was madly in love with me, wanted to marry me as soon as his contract is finished in Syria etc etc.

My reply was short and simple....."yeah sure, why not, what have I got to loose." He was very happy with this answer. Funny thing is, I haven't heard from this person for almost a week now so haven't sent my readied email just yet.

Good luck ladies, hope you all find true love

by: Anonymous

I'm sorry for those people who actually sent money to someone they met on a dating site without doing any research about that person. I have found it to be quite entertaining to play along until they finally ask for money. ...and they all do.

If they are claiming to be a United nations doctor then they don't need money for a passport. Usually the real doctors have no problem getting back to the states when their tour is over. There's also a database of doctors on the UN website.

Most of the doctors are listed there or you can ask the State Department. I can vet these people out pretty quickly by asking them for a few pictures of them working with villages or visiting local sites. I have friends who are there and I guarantee they all take pictures to eventually hang in their offices when they return.

A lot of them take pictures of themselves in case they come up missing. A recent picture can be quickly circulated to locals and troops to get them located. I know it's a scam but it is fun to see just how long you can keep them strung along.

This is what he wrote "i am working ask a Medical Specialists here in Baghdad and this is my +44 7700 305893". Ladies has Baghdad turned into UK? Beware! Rest you love a wrong person and lose your money. These people sends a friend request with a fake profile and you check the number of friends they have you even won't find any and even the photos are one or two only. There is not much information on their wall.

Contacted on Twitter via DM by Bryan Diggle. Claimed to be a widower of course with three children. Former military doctor now working with the UN in Syria. Was suspicious from the start as I have been contacted by every poor widowed military man so many times.

Sent me several pictures and the guy whose identity was apparently stolen is good looking. Just blocked him after stumbling on this site trying to background check him.

Have just looked this up. I had a Ben Carson orthopaedic surgeon based in Syria on messenger. I didn't fall for it and just let him think that for all of about 15 minutes. Now blocked. It takes alot more to try and pull the wool over my eyes.

He has a Facebook page but nothing much on it, and says he is a widower and working with the United Nations, however the only person by this name I could find was a black surgeon / doctor and his wife was very much alive and well and well, so just take care of who sends you a message

He makes you believe that you are THE most wonderful woman / human in the world.🤔

His son spent all the money he had and now needs some more for a school textbook, but father / Dr Greg can't accept or send out anything from his compound because of... (🤔a lot of BS). He needs 1200 USD for his son.

He faked an attack and said that he was running for his life but he was scared and concerned about his son (!?🤔) And with this situation trying to get me to pay the school 1200 USD.

It stopped there!!

He or she is a big charmer, really emphatic and makes you feel that you are the world to him. Plays on your feelings!! To make you emphatic to him!! Don't fall for it!!

Be smart if you get approached Google and try to find this person, if you don't find anything break it up!!

A man by the name of Barry Brown came on my Facebook request page and when I accepted this request and he sent me a message on Messenger. While chatting I realized he was a scammer. Claimed he was Irish from Dublin, Ireland and is a widower, wife died 8 years ago but he said she died in 2006.

I carried on the conversation and when asked his profession said he is an orthopedic surgeon working in Libya with the UN. Fake again. When asked to tell me about himself it took a while before an answer appeared then when asked about his son he was schooling, questioned him if this was boarding school? He said oh yeah???

Questioned about his son and holidays he said the son stays at the teacher around the corner from the school. Then asked how long his posting in UN was no answer. He then said he was tired and gave me an e-mail address to e-mail him.

The conversation finished and I just googled to find no such person as a Doctor in the UN and I have lots of friends in Dublin who never heard of this human.

I automically cut him off my social media.

PLEASE BE AWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS!

I just had a run-in with this person. He went by the name Jeremy Stewart. Claimed to be a UN Orthopedic Surgeon in Kabul. Said that he had been divorced 7 years, and had a 10 year old daughter in Turkey named Kathy. Claimed to be from New Jersey. The profile didn't add up.

Claimed to be a surgeon, but for school it had Paul Mitchell (that's a hair salon). Also under Contact Info it had /irieme.nehitha. I called it out, and immediately they changed it to Jeremy.Stewart9876

I believe we're the numbers -- before I blocked this person. I looked up Nehitha Irieme on Facebook, and she is Nigerian. I sent a message to her asking if she knew Jeremy Stewart. Needless to say, I got no response.

by: Margaret Powell

I've recently met a UN surgeon online. Been speaking since 13 July. But it's really a girl in Africa, and think it's a network of people. She gave me her bank account details. She is still pretending to be a guy.

I have her photographs and a list of aliases she uses. I saw babe photographs of the surgeon. I realised it was bogus but reeled her in for a while.

Who do I report this to?

I'm not as stupid as he/she thought. But I'm cross. No money passed from me to them. I received a strange phone call one evening from an African man, one of the scammers.

I think this guy needs to know what is going on and these people need to be caught.

I as the others on this page, have been approached while on a group site designed for Genealogy. At first the conversation was normal; where you from etc. After a twisted escapade of 2 min dialog, I have reached the same conclusion as the others here.

1. Orthopedic Surgeon, working for the U.N. in Kabul.
2. Orphaned, at birth and then by adopted parents
3. Raised by Priest
4. Lives (no answer)
5. reference to Dec. (looking for a home)
6. stated wife took him for $348,000
7. Has 15-16 year old son

The list goes on..

Clue's, messages lack consistence. I don't know any surgeon with grammar or spelling issues. And, he could not answer any reference to medical term, he'd brush over the topic.

Last week I was on my FB and on accident I accepted a friend request. I meant to hit the delete button. One of the things that I do when I receive a friend request from any male that I do not know is I look at what they have posted on their page and if it is just a few pictures, no photos, no mutual friends, no other postings or other friends I hit the delete.

Within about 5 minutes of my accepting his friendship request he was blowing up my FB Messenger. He sounds just like all the other scammers that are showing on this site. He posed as an Orthopedic Surgeon, stated at first that he lived in Miami but then quickly changed it to being in Kabul with the UN.

RED FLAGS jumped at me.

A quick search of a few websites really put even more red flags up for me. He then sent me a picture of his son aged 13, with a story that his wife died of breast cancer 6 years previously.

More red flags.

When I ended the conversation that night he was wanting to go to another website to talk. I am not the most techie person but another red flag went up. Then I got some more pictures of flowers and I decided to cut it off completely.

I am so glad I did after reading what has happened to other women of my age. Please be careful don't lose your heart, or your money to guys like that.

Currently talking to me but I've known from the first sentence that it's a scam. Claims to be UN orthopaedic surgeon stationed with US military at Edwards Air Force Base, Lancaster, California. Widowed since 2009 with a 12-year/old daughter at an international boarding school. Father is deceased, mother has Alzheimer's and imaginary child does not see imaginary dead wife's family as wife grew up in an orphanage. Well, of course she did.

Talking about setting up private clinic when his retirement papers are signed in approximately two months' time. He was talking about a relationship and true love within 24 hours of first contact.
He contacted me randomly on Facebook's Messenger - I'm not on dating sites at all.

There are two other FB profiles with the same name, none of them have any friends. I did a reverse image search of the photos he has sent me privately and they are images of a Canadian actor. God knows who the kids are, they don't have any matches on Google.

I have reported the profile to Facebook. He has already suggested that we move to Hangout and has sent me a gmail address for himself, now wants me to set up an account and is asking if I have a pet name or nickname.

I am screen shotting all the messages and have been sharing them. My friends are hanging themselves laughing because I am claiming to be useless with technology while I wind him up. It would appear that I have suddenly acquired an ancestral home in the family for sixteen generations.

Stay safe, ladies. I'm a cynic and I check everything but I can see how someone at a vulnerable time in their life could fall for this crap no matter how sophisticated or intelligent they are.

Remove personal details from your public profile and report anything suspicious. Anyone genuine is not going to be offended by you investigating and doing the due diligence.

by: Anonymous

Hello, I have been involved in a dating scam similar to what others have written here. The man claimed to be a paediatrician. He was religious and very charming and respectful and understanding in his messages.

We met on Tinder and then began messaging on LINE and What'sApp, and at times we talked on the phone. He referred to me as his queen, his lady and rare gem. He claimed to have been divorced 5 years ago and that his two girls lived with their mother in Michigan. He sent me photos via email of himself and his daughters.

The man in the photos is very attractive and obviously the subject of identify theft. Karel claimed to work at a private clinic in New Jersey - Policlinic. On closer examination I realised that the website for his workplace looks fraudulent.

His Facebook page was also very sparse with no friends and only two work related photos. He said he was working on a project delivering medical equipment to start a hospital in Papua, Indonesia. He asked if I could send 30k as there were issues with customs clearance.

Fortunately, I awoke to my senses when he asked for money.

I was corresponding with him for about a month and then just in the last day he asked for the money. I hope this gives others some idea of the amount of time these scammers are prepared to put in to suck you in before asking for money. They are very clever and will make you feel adored, loved and appreciated.

If it seems to good to be true - it is!

That is the lesson I have learnt.

Oh they have all kinds of situations that arise & need more & more money. They want to live a life with you when they get back to the states & love you & take care you forever.

I was scammed until all my money was gone. I worked a lifetime for it. Ladies it never happens. Money & a Dr you have never seen & they want to build a hospital.

Started speaking with Peterson on FB only yesterday and then he switched me to hangouts because of security reasons. This is his story:

Head surgeon of the military department at United Nation Peace Keeping Rescue Mission and General Surgeon at UN World Health Organization. Lives in Madison, Wisconsin. Widowed, has two kids 15 and 17 Vitoria and Kelvin.

At first, I called the University of Wisconsin and he was not on the alumni. I confronted him and he got angry. Very smooth, but he is a scam artist. Stated that he is 58 and is in Kabul, Afghanistan waiting to retire and marry a beautiful woman to help raise his kids and open a hospital and shelter for homeless kids.

His kids are with a caretaker in DC and his home is in Madison WI. He originated from Germany but could hardly comment on Germany when asked. He said he couldn't video chat because his life may be at stake. He sent several youtube love videos, very respectful and can be the man you dreamt of having in your life.

He professes to be a Christian, that is where he got me but I also told him that I am praying to God to reveal him to me. And then I found this website.

God is good and His mercies endured forever.

Don't be scammed - test the spirits.

Amen.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that he said he was retiring. He is 56 year old. He is 5ft 8 likes music, art and fishing. He liked all the things I liked. He said he was going to build a hospital when returning home and that we would relocate from his home in Virginia and wanted me to pick out the location.

He said he was going to do some surgeries but hire a doctor. He wanted me to come live with him and work with him and that we would be married. Of course, I believed him because I was looking for love myself. I'm 58 years old and had never experienced anything like this before. I would wake up at 12:30 and 1am every morning talking to this guy because Yemen was 7 hours ahead of my time.

But things changed in August. He changed his status on hangouts so I wouldn't know if he was online and then he tells me his account was hacked and don't reply to his old email because it would mean his death. So he directed me to another email but same hangout.

I'm still confused about that when I got a big time scam from his old email. He was very upset with me when I replied that the person using this email was a scammer. He had me confirm with him that I will listen to him and that he still loved me. So now today I have broken all communication with him on hangouts.

He may have broke my heart but I will recover. I will never trust anyone online again. I still think he was romancing me to get more money from me. I think he came up with the fake excuse to get me to send an email for emergency leave and then I know with my heart that there is money involved.

Ladies beware of this scammer using this name. I fell in love with his words and a picture of him on Facebook. He would not do a video chat or a phone call all because of sercurity reasons. The more and more I think about all this It doesn't make sense.

I think the man on Facebook has had his identity stolen. I sure wish I can contact him somehow and warn him of this. The Facebook page also has where he attended several medical colleges. The thing is he was so convincing on everything. He did ask me to help pay for a package that his deceased mom left in China to be held for him.

He wanted me to pay $6700 to the Republic of China to have this package transferred to my name and sent to me and have me put it in a safe deposit box at a Bank of America. He said it has $877.000 gold jewelry in it, a diamond ring and personal documents. He would give me the code to open the package to pay me back the money once I received the package.

Of course, I didn't. He said it was alright that he would find another for the sercurity and trust company to hold it. And he still loved me anyway. We were very strong into communicating but only with words and in early August, conversations were getting less and less. But when he did come online it was always still the same conversations.

But now I think there are two scammers using the same name. The two conversations have been totally different from before and the Grammer and spelling is beginning to be bad. His excuse is the reason why he don't communicate everyday that there has been many bomb blasts in Yemen and he has been very busy taking care of people.

I ended it today. He has asked me for money three times in 4 months and I know he was going to ask again because it does say online they ask for you to help with leave and then you have to pay upfront fees and travel expenses.

I wasn't going to let him get that far with me this time.

This man friended me on Facebook back in May. We have been talking 4 months. He said he has been widowed for 18 years and that his wife died at childbirth and that he has a 18 year old son who is in the military in the UK. He claims to be a surgeon with the Marine Corp in Yemen but he is a medical doctor working for the United nations in Yemen along with the troops on ground in a war zone.

Very nice looking man. We got to know each other pretty well. Well about the 3rd week in he needed $500.00 for his 18 year old son in the military to help pay for something. But I can't remember what it was. He told me that the Mastercard he sent his son wasn't working for some reason in the UK and that his son could straighten it out with the bank. So would I please help and send his son the money to the UK.

I was hesitant, but did if anyway. He has been seriously romancing me for 4 months now on hangouts. We use to talk every morning for 3 months and now the conversations are about twice a week. We'll I get a message that he needs me to email his General so he can get a new emergency leave so he can come home and be with me and provide and protect me and love me forever.

He always calls me his Treasure and His sent Angel. Well this morning his words were different. And when I told him I was not sending money for his leave money he had me email Gen.edsonty@usa.com so I did just to see if any money will be involved and I'm pretty sure there will be.

When I confronted him that he is a possible scammer he said he would never scam me and that I have no trust in him. He told me his age, height, his likes and where his home is which he said is from Delaware but his home is in Norfolk Virginia.

I have pictures on Facebook that match his description. But he has no other friends on Facebook and claims to be a Christian. He would always say every morning Good morning my treasure and God sent Angel. I just finished my morning prayer and want to spend time with the love of my life.

He is always telling me wonderful things and how we are going to meet at the airport and how nothing will ever separate us. But he did take nearly 1 month before confessing his love for me. I'm pretty sure this guy is not the real deal. He just pleaded with me 3 days ago to never leave him because without me in his life he Could never have a life without me.

He would always tell me that he cherishes and adores me and how much he is in love with me. Like I said, I'm going to play his little game then block him altogether.

Pretty smooth character. Not real. Others have the same story. Whoever is in on the scam they pretty much stick to the same story, dead wife, etc. Money and promises of a rich future, etc. Just a scam. Many others on this site are saying the same thing.

Orthopaedic doc working for UN in Iraq .uk born lived in USA most of his life. Daughter in boarding school Thailand. 17 years old. Long marriage. Divorced. Due back to uk oct 2017 after 4 years away. Birthday 8th October will be 50 years old. 6,4, shaven head, cool dress sense.

Images I've had sent are one with a little boy looks like they are in a camp or similar, one with striped shirt and funky oraage lens sunglasses, posing with a husky in the snow black and white shot and after I pushed for more a pic of him sat on the bonnet on a white sports car.

He hasn't asked me for money. He's told me he loves me and sends upteen love quotes, YouTube music videos and lyrics which were getting annoying to be perfectly honest. Promised me Paris when he was back. Broken English and not always understanding your comments were red flags and I even pulled him up on it - you don't get answers. I've seized all Communications with him after I discovered this site and saw his name on another post and similar BS story to someone else and I sent a message to him when was the day you were going to ask me for money ?

Shortly after the upcoming presentation was in Poland, Warsaw, he left his 'briefcase' in the taxi with passport, credit cards and documents. It was stolen. He was gonna lose the contract and was all the time worried and 'in pain' and 'hurted'.

I asked him if he needed money, of course I was not gonna lend him any. He said at about 1500$. Then I pulled away. I asked to call him via facetime/whatsapp. He didnt pick up the phone.

Has any one heard of the above person. I have just been reading a lot of comments about dating scams and they sound so like the guy I am talking to at the moment with the thing he is saying
I don't know what started the alarm bells ringing in my head but there is just some thing that is not quiet right about it.

I have got him on hangout which is something like messenger.

Have only been talking about three weeks and he say he is due to leave Syria at the end of September and wants to come to the UK to meet up.

He then wants us to get married and for me to move to the states (Alarm bells). One comment says he talks sweet nothing's to you but never mentions your name and this is so true of this guy.

I would just like to say thanks all for the comments I have read and they have confirmed my suspicions so now I can block him and start to get on with the rest of my life.

Does he contact you all hours interupting your sleep pattern?
Has he alienated you from your normal life ie. friends family?
Has he got delayed flying to meet you and the perfect life you will have together?

Passport stolen

To pay taxes or go to jail

These are only a few of the triggers.

Only after sending a few messages, he kept calling me "my dear" and wanted me to marry him, claimed I was "God sent to him ".

I deleted the hangouts and reported him as a scam on instagram. Please don't fall for this man's lies!!

Goes by heartpeace1 on Instagram. Ortho Doctor in Syria, then suddenly deployed to W. Africa. I figured he was a scammer right away, but played along for a few days. I asked him each day in a different way if he might be one of those people I had heard about. He assured me he would never.

He was just a good guy who was looking for a woman to spend his life with. He claimed to have been badly burned trying to help a little girl who turned out to be a suicide bomber. Both parents killed on 9/11. Sent pictures of himself in the hospital right after the accident, complete with him holding up newly awarded Purple Heart.

Of course you could not see the name on the certificate. Fell in love with me on the first day. Was afraid I would not love him back because of his scars. Never asked for money. After three emotional days of love and devoted attention I pulled the plug and reported the jerk. To steal the identity of a war hero makes it even more vile.

They always want to go offline off the dating site, for example use "hangout".

Veggieconnection encourages users to contact via that site for a while so that an administrator monitor exchanges of messages. BUT!!! the messages are gone. They don't store for certain period. Initial contact and message are quite important when you report to an authority. In this sense, that site contribute to perpetrators' and scammers activities. I advise ladies to copy or photograph the contents.

Veggieconnection introduces highly sophisticated techniques: e.g. hide the profile (not being viewed from other members) while still able to search and check members' profile. Those arts are ideal tools for predators. We don't need such service, but need enough storage to save messages.

A few days ago I got a Facebook friend request from the above person, and as I only have family as my 'friends' and am a retired female, I thought it very odd that a young good looking guy who is young enough to be my son would want to be friends on Facebook.

I have had various bank scams on my mobile which I didn't fall for, and now we have these low lives at it.

Having a suspicious nature anyway, one of the first things I asked him was where he was.
Reply was 'From Holland but now in Syria' On asking him what he was doing there he told me he was an orthopaedic surgeon.

I then left him to it, telling him I had other things to do with my time. But I will be back on Facebook tomorrow. He asked me what I did for a living, and I will be able to tell him 'Retired Police Officer' who enjoys a challenge, and found your website which is very enlightening.

Yes block them, report them if you can. I guess this guy thought he could find sympathetic women on a vegetarian dating web site. These guys are everywhere just trying to get money out of women. They prey on loneliness. Get a pet. There are a lot of pets that need good homes, and you won't be lonely.

Vegetarian sites are safe for predators compared with PlentyOfFish, Match.Com etc. Less risk to encounter honey traps. The problem is veggieconnection introduces too many sophisticated tools for the site; and the predators can search prey (usually newbee on the site) while they are not searchable or viewed from other members. Besides, the site owner cannot/does not take action against dubious members.

Thru POF, I met this good guy and we exchanged pictures. I liked him at least the guy in the picture was handsome and of course I like him.

We chatted for many days, with the first few days he told me that he had been at the United Nations, but he can't use his bank account.

Hmm I thought, but I kept on talking until last week he asked me for a "favor" and I asked what kind of favor.

I told him if it is money I think you are barking up the wrong tree as I told you my only source of income is my SSI, OW. He said you could help me, with some money as I need food and meds, I'm dyeing in here, but I just say sorry, I blocked him from my POF account and that was the end of my romance.

He sounded so sweet and gentle and spoke very nice and I guess I was falling for him. But one thing I could tell everyone is .. the only guy I will give my money is to my son, he is the only man, that make me smile and cry, broke my heart, but when I look in his eyes, I still go crazy, I love my son so much.

by: Anonymous

I met a guy on an online dating site and he said he was a doctor and he seemed interesting and we were messaged on WhatsApp. From the beginning I felt as if something was off but I couldn't pinpoint it but just had that feeling.

He told me his wife mother and son were in a car accident ands his son was the only survivor. His father died later on but his father was Italian. His English was very broken, his grammar was off and he kept making the mistakes of people that don't speak English very well.

I'm surrounded by people that don't speak English very well so I am able to notice these things quickly. He told me he had serious feelings for me, and he would buy me a house and he couldn't wait for me to tell him I loved him after 2 days mind you. Yesterday he said he lost all of his iTunes music he said. This morning he asked me for money on an iTunes card and I said nope I just felt as if it was off.

He got offended when I stopped replying and said I didn't want to talk to him anymore when I was just working. I tried to do a Google Image search but nothing comes up. All I have is a cell phone number and his first name is Richard.

I met him on POF AND also I went looking for his profile and it's been deleted which is another thing that I found strange.

Is there any way I can find out how to report this?

Working for the United Nations in Bagdad Iraq. Gave me the name of the hospital etc. When I tried to google him absolutely nothing came up. Then when I read the information on here I downloaded the UN list of Doctors. Surprise surprise there was no doctor under this name.

Thank you to all you ladies out there that have shared their story's, if it wasn't for you all I would still be talking to the Worm!

Eventually I asked for proof of who he was, hence he did not like it and shortly after that and I when I had not responded to him he gave up.

starstarstarstarstar 		Ambrose Judson is not real
by: Melissa

I watch myself on social media. I frequently would get Facebook requests from gentleman members of the military, however, I limit my Facebook to only people I personally know. Other social formats we need to share something in common. Along came Ambrose Judson.

I don't usually respond to the men's hello messages they love to send, but he was a doctor. He seemed harmless. We interacted a few days on Instagram and then He suggested the move to Hangouts. He didn't say much about himself other than he was from London, he had a 13 yr old daughter and he was a widow.

From the start something seemed off.

In am pretty fluent in British English and many of his saying were off and sometimes I would type messages clearly and he would misunderstand. It was 2 days into chatting that an account with a similar name liked one of my pictures. I searched his name and found 4 Ambrose Judson accounts. I searched the internet and came up with 2 Facebook accounts.

I questioned the Instagram accounts, but held the Facebook accounts in my pocket. Each account had some more info to help me with the stories he was telling.

He loved to post some of the loveliest sayings. The first one took me by surprise it was so beautiful. I will admit I was flattered. The second one I decided to query on the internet and sure enough both were on a site for romantic things girls want to hear. I'm thankful I didn't completely fall for this and also felt bad for whoever the real person was in the picture.

Interestingly enough with the help of Google I did track this guy down.

The real doctor is from Poland. I have emailed his office to alert them to the stolen pictures. I have also reported the Instagram accounts and Facebook ones too. The UN also has a list of doctors that people can download.

I hope this is helpful to someone.

Ask her to read this site and see how similar their bios are.......usually widowers, usually Drs. or engineers or medical personnel, usually have a son or a daughter in a "boarding" school or college.

Help her access the fraud sites. Appeal to reality. Does it make sense that someone is in love after a week or a few days? Does it make sense that someone would be asking them for money? She may want it to be true, but these people have many women that they are scamming at the same time.........And, have her notice how poorly they speak English or whatever other language they are communicating in...........

When questioned more about his job or if he doesnt get his way, he gets slightly angry bordering rudeness. Gets pushy at times also.
I checked him on Linkedin, he has an account there but with zero connections. Nowhere else on social platforms or wont trace him on looking up on google. He is nowhere listed on the UN doctors list either.

I am a family oriented person, love kids and there is more, but it would be better for you to find some things out for yourself. I saw your profile and i like it. It is very important for me to build a life of stability, security, and opportunity for the special person I hope to share my thoughts, feelings, experiences, dreams and fantasies. I am really interest in wanting to know about what makes you the special person you are today, I want to know more about your family, your background, your life experiences, your goals and dreams, your interests, and anything else you want to tell me.

I continued the conversations and after 7 weeks he eventually asked me for money to get home!
It transpired he was not real. He said his team could not get home because of Donald Trumps cut to United Nations Fund meant the new team could not be deployed. Apparently his director could arrange a flight and get him home if he could pay, that's where I came in, or not!! I refused.

He said he was divorced half Italian with 2 children Who lived with their mother in Swansea. His parents were dead, died in a car crash together. He said his wife cheated on him with his best friend. He began to get angry when I started to ask questions but would change the subject.

He wanted to marry me and buy me a huge diamond ring. He had a large house with swimming pool in Swansea. He wanted to take me to the Maldives!

Please please don't fall for this guy. I totally and stupidly fell in love with this nasty person who just wanted my money. Fortunately I didn't give him anything and it came to a head when I found him back on tinder with a slightly different picture.

He also says he can't get to all his money because he had to freeze his bank account because his ex ripped him off before.

You know his grandmother who was his caretaker had cancer and his wife died in a car crash. I believe his name is Sean Smith 1796.

Poor english for an american lol the first giveaway...I questioned him and was told he had been overseas for so long that I shouldnt expect him to speak like me.

Go with your gut ladies.

First let me say, it's embarrassing to realize how gullible I was. But now they seem to be Every where!!

This one was an Engineer, yes I sent money and even went to the Airport. Of course he wasn't on the plane. Then he tried to take money out of my bank account. I reported him and his friends. (There are Always Friends!)

Then there was a Rancher, said he was in Israel and he got mad when I refused to send him a dime! Lol

Then another Engineer, then another and now a Doctor of orthopedics. ...hmmm. Yes I seem to be a magnet for them.

But there are signals girls... key words and phrases. I'd be Happy to help the Authorities get these guys, ALL of them!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Dr. Robert Moore Bays is still scamming
by: Anonymous

Daily romantic messages, talk of unending love and plans for an amazing future together, interspersed with emergency needs for money, starting with the desire to give toys to the poor kids in Yemen and celebrate his birthday, and increasing in amount and in frequency demanded from that point.

He has photos that seem to substantiate what he is saying--including a picture in uniform with a label that says "Dr. Bays" on one side and "Captain" on the other, photos that appear to be of him as a handsome young man interning with the UN. Says he is a widow with a son, Alvin, who is 17 in boarding school in NYC, but studying in England this summer. Some scams center on his son.

Most of his words are charming, though he has a pattern of speech that does not correspond to that of a man who reportedly was born and grew up in Austin, TX. On hangouts when texting he makes many unusual grammatical errors. On occasion when he doesn't get his way, he displays anger bordering on threatening, but attributes it later to stress and apologizes.

Ladies, he can be formidable when he gets his hooks in you. Exit quickly. Don't wait around to be scammed big time.

Hi Friends, I have met one person on gujarati bharat metrimoney site, his uncle ravi chintan sent interest on me by saying they are interested in my profile, I am an unmarried gal and his nephew is working with the un army in turkey Syria war zone as orthopedic doctor.

One day his uncle called me on my mobile number by saying for marraige purpose he want to discuss with my parents so that things can be worked out, and he said you can chat with my nephew on hangout id : Aseembaldev2077@gmail.com,

I started chatting with him but after that Aseem said he wanted to come and meet me because he is in love with me ...i said yes come as whats the problem with that, but he said his account is blocked because its a war zone so nobody can access their bank account, and his allowance is not sufficient so he cannot buy the flight ticket from Turkey to India.

Initially I was fooled by his love, and he demanded 1000usd, and also provided a third party account number by saying conversion rate from Inr to Turkey currency is high so better credit amount in person (agent) account. That agent he said was working with them, but when I checked his account out it was from Mumbai. I was a fool so I transferred 1000usd.

After 3 days he said I am so happy because he is coming to meet me and all and he is going to meet the commander for the pass out process and leaves, and they are demanding 3000usd to grant leave and replacement, but that time I was shocked because I dont have that much money to help him.

When I said I dont have the money then he said please take a loan. And I discussed with my friend and they said don't do that with this guy because he is scammer fake.

When I said no for the money, after that the guy stopped everything and emotionally blackmailed me.

Please any suggestions about this guy as he has deleted the matrimony account and is only contactable on gmail .

This is a scam. The picture is not a picture of him. He is trying to extract money. He did the same to me under a different name, but the moment he asked for money and fell in love in 3 days, I terminated the contact.

He goes from name to name and dating sites to Facebook.

You will not find him on the UN doctor list, and ask him what state he is licensed in and check that state's website. You will not find him there either or in any US state because this is a scam.

DO NOT give him any money at all for any reason. Remember the picture you see is someone else's picture being used fraudulently.

by: Anonymous

My cousin was contacted on Instagram by a "doctor" from NY who is practicing in Yemen with the UN. They then started messaging on Hangouts. It's been 3 weeks - he's madly in love with her. He said his wife died in a car accident two years ago and he has a 13-year-old daughter in boarding school in Texas.

He asked my cousin to send "her daughter" a birthday gift - $1,000!! He said she should because she will be her "mommy". My cousin refused. Then, he started asking for ITunes cards. She finally relented and sent him a $50 one - he wanted $100.

Then, he asked for a $150 one. Now, he's asking for $1,800 for a flight so he can fly here this weekend and meet her. He said he's leaving Yemen even though his so-called contract is not up yet. He wants to build his own medical practice here.

His posts seem like they are from a Hallmark card, i.e. cut and paste. He goes by the name Dr. William Kelvin Gary. He asked my cousin to send the moneygram for the $1,800 flight to Theresa Robinson, Austin, TX.

His pics look like a model - early 50ish, graying hair, handsome. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

His grammar will be bad. And will tell you he loves you and wants to buy a house. And is in some countries. Then will ask for money after he tells you that you are the one for him. And wants to move wherever you are. Then will ask for money for plane fare.

Did an image search on his picture and it comes back to a plastic surgeon working out of Beverley Hills. I challenged him over this and asked for some proof and he got very angry, however all I did was laugh at his inability to spell or phrase in English.

I have reported him to Match.com and sent an email to the surgeon in the USA telling him his image is being used illegally. I think it's good practice to do an image search if your'e wary of something that sounds 'to good to be true'

starstarstarstarstar 		How to identify a conman
by: Anonymous

Generally they have few peculiar traits which will help understand they are a fraudster

1) Their surname will actually be like first name of many people...here "amol" "chintan"
In India both are the first names

2) They are highly educated but their English is very broken

3) They will be in immense love with you in just 1 or 2 conversations

4) They will generally call you darling, sweetheart, princess...because they already have ready made messages which they can forward to many without making changes

5) They will get angry if you ask them to send any identity proof

6) If you search on Google with their name or email id.. you will rarely find anything because they operate with fake names and usually fake profiles.

In order to help everyone people can post their photos, emails and phone numbers so everyone will be aware of such fraudsters.

He plays very gentlemany and decent over the chats. Says he Loves me and "I'll place no one above you darling" that's the sentence he re-iterates... I kept checking his ID on social medias like Facebook but no luck.

He wrote me and note the English language is always "broken" like they cannot write one complete correct English sentence.

Yes block them, report them if you can. I guess this guy thought he could find sympathetic women on a vegetarian dating web site. These guys are everywhere just trying to get money out of women. They prey on loneliness. Get a pet. There are a lot of pets that need good homes, and you won't be lonely.

Same story; Italian born doctor in Syria, working for UN; brilliant 14-yr-old son in college in NYC; wife died 3 years ago of breast cancer. He knows I'm in TX and he said he spent three years here. I've told him that I'm married and he continues to write me.

He only contacted me a couple of days ago. His description of himself is obviously copied and pasted (probably 100s if not 1000s of times). His picture is of a strikingly handsome guy with black hair and a beard. At first, being 52 and married for a long time, I was very flattered that he was interested in me so I indulged in a harmless flirtation. Obviously I had my doubts because I went looking for and found this site.

Apparently whoever is creating pages, has used his pictures over and over again using a series of names and it appears this has been going on since a bit before 2013. Whoever the scammer is, he trys to convince you to give money for a good cause. I didn't fall for it, but a lot of people have.

I reported him to Facebook.

Just to add to that posting, I checked physician licensing in California (where he said he went to school and TX where he said he lived.....(Austin). No physician or surgeon of the name came up.

Also grammar and syntax are terrible which gave me my first clue........but the request for money made me unfriend him.........then I refriended him and he has not since asked for anything.........but, I am waiting.

Well not really. He has unfriended since. If we can post pictures here, that would be great fun.

Robert Moore Bays on Facebook. Orthopedic Surgeon with the UN, ho hum, widower, has a 17 year old son in college in NY.

After a few days the request for money went like this - "I plan to do something tangible for the needy over here as part of my birthday I tried to raise some funds and ordered a United Nation Diplomat who will leave for the base later Thursday to help me get some items like toys, books clothe and some other items to help me give to the kids which he has been able to do but according to him the toys I asked him to get weren't enough I don't know if you could be of an assistance to me, co-note don;t take it too personal am just asking for a favor I don't mean to do this I just wish if you find a place in your heart to for the helpless."


I said no, and he badgered me. I continued to say no, and he continued to plead and badger. I refused. He let it go, but now the deal is that he is in love with me.

Never met me, no frame of reference. Total scammer. He has two Facebook pages. He does have my email address, but hey, I can put him in the spam folder.

So, glad this page is here. This was very helpful.

See the May 3 comments. He may write you some of the same thing.

Always looking for the woman he wishes to marry!!
I kept him talking to get that info I originally posted on May 3 conversations from the emails.

I am just wondering what type of picture he is posting. He sent me a picture. I wish I could post it here. But he was:

Tall
Short Greyish hair
No beard, but a bit of hair under the chin
In Shape .. Lean
One picture of him was when he was sitting on a gravity lawn chair.

Hope this helps ladies!! And some of these guys can be terrorists. So do be careful. If you post anything on Facebook only post to friends about him, not post to public.

Hopefully, you all know how to make your facebook account secure and change your passwords, and unblock the guy from facebook and email.

Cynthia and Maggie!! Yes I heard from this guy. He sent me a friend request on Facebook. Before I accept a friend request, I go and look at their profile. Well there was nothing. After a few days, I did accept it thinking I could remove him if he was not someone I wanted to be facebook friends with.

Well in 4 days, he must of sent me a combination of 22 facebook messages and emails. I blocked him from facebook after 4 days. Note: you can also block email accounts.

You can report these people. My only concern is some of these scammers could be terrorists and they have no regard for human life. So be careful.

Here is some of the scam. (I also think the picture is phony. A very nice looking guy).
=================================

"Like I said earlier in regards to my job, I am an orthopedic surgeon working with the Royal Dutch Army of Netherlands, I have served in Syria before I was deployed with the RDA troops to Afghanistan, it has been God all the way."
"


"I really miss my son and hope to see him soon as he misses me very much too, I do communicate with him via his school guardian's email address, and sometimes sounds unhappy not seeing me in a long while, He is studying in London due to the fact that before I left for my mission in Syria, I had a contract work in one of the hospitals in London UK, and I have to take him with me, not having much time for myself, I have to register him in a boarding school so he can have a school guardian to watch over him, I am delighted he is doing well in school."

"About my work well I don't have much to say than to summarize things about my work for you okay if I said I should say everything about my work it we take me weeks to end the story, I work with NATO international COMBAT force fighting against terrorism for years now, we have Thousand of work's in Afghanistan missed with female Doctor's, I am looking forward for my retirement​ soon to start a new family with the woman I wish to marry, my plan is to invest on Hospital and Restaurant after I get married "

Note: When his facebook account was no longer active and he emailed me he wrote":

"No Dear. I did not remove you from my facebook account okay i told you before that the Authority normally monitor my facebook account for security reason, we were having some technical problem that is why the Authority deactivate all account. I am and Orthopedist Doctor, My plan is to go into investment after my Retirement and start a new family with the woman i wish to marry, I also plan to return to North Carolina where i spent all my life with my family, I hope to live the war zone soon, since i have been in the war zone i have not gone to visit my son i am prepare to live here soon, Dear i we love us to always come and check on each other on email. Dear always check on me on here."

Oh yeah same story. Lost some money getting the good doctor (general surgeon) out of Syria via Turkey border to come visit me and claim me as his beloved wife. Widower with 12 yr old daughter and 22 yr old son. I was always suspicious but he got into my head big time and I decided for peace of mind I would send some money just to know the truth.

Guess what. He is now stranded in Istanbul!!

Wanting more money for a plane ticket. Fat chance. Wish I had seen this site last week. He could never reveal himself to me the 5 weeks we messaged on Facebook. Not allowed to have phones, video chat etc. The UN was very strict about that. Many excuses now that he hasn't contacted the US embassy, his father or son etc etc. of course by tomorrow he will be destitute after three days and no money. Oh.

It was going to take four days to reinstate his credit card. A fool no more. Thanks ladies for your stories and may we all just be a bit smarter!!

I gotten so many pictures of him and one of his son which they do somewhat look alike. The doctor said he just celebrated his birthday on April 19th and he's 60 years old.

I'm not sure if he's for real or not, but I'm on my guard. For a doctor he does have terrible spelling and grammer which I find very interesting.

I have to be honest I did almost fall for this guy. Luckily he didn't ask for money for anything, but it wouldn't surprise me if eventually he does.

I met this guy in early febuary 2017, and he said he was a Orthopedic surgeon from L.A California, divorced with a 16 year old daughter named Sophia in boarding school out there, and said he was in Syria with the U.N. but was afraid his life was in danger since their was a war going on there.

Right away within a week or so he was "in love" with me, promised me a house, cars, trips around the world, asked me for money and being a widow/single mom I fell for it, and in total I lost $3800 trying to get this guy "home", and to date he says he is being held at the Logan International Airport in Boston Mass waiting on another $1000 fee for his bags and a demerrage fee after he tried to bring $5.5 million in cash with him through customs.

I'm still in recovery of the damage this person did to me and my daughter, and he is supposed to be 5'10" grey hair, blue eyes, and 55 years old.

Birthday 6/28/61 and wears glasses on occasions. I will never trust online dating again, so women be careful of this one, he is a real scum bag, and there is another report here about him too, so be warned and stay away.

His name is "Marcus Clinton." A friend of a friend on FB. I accepted his friend request and any friend of my pal Cindy was certainly worthy and safe to be a friend of mine. We started chatting on FB and I gave him my email.

I was not allowed to post on FB. Could not see his "friends" on FB. His photos were of a dashing man. He said he was born in London, England. FB page said he lived in NY, NY but in our conversation he said he was lived in California. His parents were dead.

His wife died in child birth and so did the baby. He has no brothers or sisters or relatives. His daughter, 10 years old is being schooled in North Africa. He gave me an email to contact her. I did not. He professes his undying love.

How in three months he is done is Syria and he will come for me and we will be married. OMG! I almost fell for it but there were so many holes in his stories. I am an investigative paralegal and I almost let my heart overrule my head.

Just blocked him on FB and need to figure out how to block him from my email. I am happy I came upon your page. I happened to come across it during my "investigation" of orthopedic surgeons in Syria.

I met this guy from a religious website. He sent me a message and gave his details immediately. The first time we chatted over whatsapp he told me he wants to get married as soon as he finishes his contract in UN as a ORTHO SURGEON based in Syria.

He told me maybe I am the one he is waiting for (we never met and now he will marry me lol). I said i preferred talking over typing so he called me up. He told me he was born and raised in Texas but the root is from Bangladesh. He doesnt sound like American. The accent is far different so doubted him the first time.

He told me he cant reply immediately maybe because he was busy with his work (but in reality he was busy scamming other girls....talking to a lot of girls who were into his hand 😄😃😂). He always sent me messages and calling me through whatsapp. After the 2nd day of meeting him I consulted Mr Google but unfortunately cannot find any name like him so i came across to this website and browsed and read every complaint and finally saw one complaint from a lady who had the same story so i screenshot that message.

The 3rd day he called up again and asking me to see each other this coming May because according to him it is the end of his contract in UN and cant wait to be with me lol.

Too good to be true. Then asked about his job and he hardly explained and i said "You know what you sound like you are reading a script". He said this is me and I fall in love with you hahaha

Then I said I wanna send something for you and he said okay. So I sent the screenshot to him and he said what can I do as I dont get along with that girl. I said I got that message from the Nigerian scam website.

Don't use God to scam anyone as I believe in karma. Dont feed with family with that kind of job and one day they will catch you. He never replied and thats the end of the story. I blocked him and the site were we met and he was also blocked and reported to authority.

To all the ladies out there please be aware of the people you are talking to.

My sister has been talking to a guy on FB messenger for a few weeks. He claims to be from NC and Calif before that. Says his parents and brother are deceased. He lost his wife 5 yrs ago to cancer and has a teenage son.

He also said he works for the UN in Damascus, Syria as an orthopedic surgeon. Right away he proclaimed his undying love for her and calls her his wife, even though she is married. He wants her to end her marriage within a month and says he will pay her back for it when he gets back to the states. He also gave her his son's email and wants her to write to him.

I'm worried because I know it is a scam. Sure enough, he asked her for $1200 to replace his documents that he claims got burned during the bombing over there. Says he wants to come home to her before he gets killed. He said he got shot in the leg during the attacks too.

She is falling for this rubbish and no longer talks to me because I told her he's not real! I told her to report him to the FBI. I've looked up his name on the web and he has never practiced medicine in the US.

Scam similar to others going by the name of Anthony Leniod.

Head Orthopeodic Surgeon with UN Reconciliation and Conflict Resolution Department. His language never seemed as if he could be of that intelligence. He expressed undying love for me after about 24 hours, and wanted me to be his wife (which he often referred to me as).

Never let up on this claim over a month of conversations, at which time I decided enough was enough. Never made any requests for money but did tell me how much he was worth (supposedly).

Widowed - wife died of cervical cancer. Daughter - Amy aged 15 (Sent photograph of her and 2 of himself. Requested I contact her to tell her I was going to be her new Mom - refused of course!
Never believed the guy was for real, but hung off telling him this to find out what was his real aim.

None the wiser on that, but he certainly did not like it when I pointed out he was a scammer and not a word he had said was true. His last comment was quote: "I put myself through pain and misery just to have you apart of my life, in return I got nothing. You’ll always have a place in my heart but just know you can’t ever have all of it" end quote.

I wonder if he knows what an orthopaedic surgeon actually does. I'll report and block tomorrow, after asking him why if he is so well educated, he cannot write very well in English, and having my bit of fun knowing it is a scam.

He has not asked for money yet but wants to open a school shopping mall or hospital in Dubai where I do some contract work.

I suggested that he opened a hospital in India. He said he couldn't afford so I asked why he cant pay and that did not go down to well.

I feel as if I'm being smothered with affection, and didn't realise that I was so charming !! LOL
They are truly scum and I will expose him.

Mine is a pediatric cardiologist working for the UN named Daniel Williams. He didn't come on too strong but has the hallmarks of a scam.

He wants to come back state side and start his own clinic after retiring early from the UN.

We have spoken on the phone and had a Skype video call. He has even sent me pictures and it is all the same person. The video chat voice matches the voice on the phone matches the picture that he sent and the ones he used on Tinder. He even had pictures of himself with other people.

It all seemed very real and plausible until he asked for $450 to get out of Nigeria after an attack on his UN camp by terrorists who took his possessions.

I did not send any money and when I accused him of fraud he said if he were not telling the truth he would not let me see him.

Has not asked for money, "in love" already. Tried to reverse image his 2 photos, no luck finding original guy to tell him about this scam. Anyway, same story: was an orphan, wife died in childbirth, went to International University of Miami, is a surgeon etc.

My poor darling friend is going through a horrible divorce with an even bigger scammer, so she is vunerable to male "attention" online.

BE A BEST FRIEND AND MAKE YOUR FRIEND INVESTIGATE ALL POTENTIAL "ONLINE ROMANCES"!!!!!!

starstarstarstarstar 		I got scammed too
by: Cynthia

Dr. Frank Mark Williams? Tells me he is in Syria with UN peacekeeping forces and "accidentally" got my name from Facebook. He says he loves me, was widowed 7 yeas ago and has a son in the UK in boarding school.

He wants me to write his son soon to let him know who I am and that one day I could be his new mother. I've been playing along because I want to catch him in his lies. But I think the time has come to stop the nonsense.

A friend of mine is getting info for me about his UN claim, because it's a federal offense to pose as a rep of the UN. She is former military and used to prosecute these folks.

Oh yes, he says he is an orthopedist too. I feel so stupid for thinking he could be for real but am relieved I'm not the only one.

I'm going after this guy!

I fell for it😭😭😭!!!!! This so called doctor stated he was a widow, wife passes away from a kidney transplant. Has a son Jerry who is in boarding school. Lives in San Jose, CA. Has been working for the UN, now in Syria.

He played me for awhile then started to ask for money. And because he caught me at a very vulnerable time of my life I was sucked in. This man is on FB, no friends, follows woman, and you cannot post anything on his FB page. It's ruined me as far as trusting another man. I was a fool, and I'm ashamed of myself.

I've been taught and always worried and cautioned myself to be careful of this kind of thing happening to me. But, again I was in a very vulnerable state.

Ladies, thank you so much for sharing your experience!!! I am in a virtual relationship with an orthopedic surgeon, who works in Syria under UN. He is planning to come back to Toronto on March 15th and cant wait for seeing me meeting him at the airport.

He is not asking for anything, just to wait until he is back. An hour ago my friend told me a story that happened to her colleague. It was very similar situation but that lady was invited to Johannesburg and even got a paid ticket.

Her "Fiancee" asked her to take a little package for him and she did. Love makes us blind...He didn't meet her and the story became really weird but to make it short: she eventually returned to Canada and was meet at the airport by security.

That package turned o be a heroin, 5 kilos... Now she is in prison, has no money to pay a decent lawyer, he son is with her old father...

Please let's all remember the old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." My mother is actually in the hospital right now from all of the stress that this has put on her.

My advice to all of us....Run...Delete... Report...And find someone local.

Hi Ladies,

Please help me. I met this guy from FB, 57 years old male from Syria who claimed to be a medical doctor. Wife passed away 3 years ago and had a 14 years old son who goes to boarding school in UK.

First conversation name was Dylan Philip then he said he had problems with his FB account and changed it to Dylen Philip.

Messages me everyday, telling me that he loves me which I find its odd because he only saw my picture.

He even gave his son's email and showed me the picture and started emailing by his "son".

He said he will be retiring at the age of 57 and will invest his retirement instead of working as an MD. Planning to come here in Las Vegas and met with me but I am so afraid of this.

I guess he is the sane guy your'e all talking about.

His story is that he is a ortho surgeon making lots of money and he is a widower who has a son in boarding school. He lost his parents in a car accident. His words are odd cause he claims he loves me jajab and he would come back to the USA to meet me. He hasn't asked me for money but when I told him that I need to hear his voice, he tried to avoid the question and later answered that it was risky in calling me due to his job.

He wanted me to delete tinder and I guess he doesn't want me to report him . I am about to block him tomorrow and hopefully he would think I lost my phone. The story sounded too good to be true. Thank god i decided to look for information and found all these stories.

Same story 47 yo orthopaedic surgeon working on classified deployment in Syria, met through plenty of fish. One 18 year old daughter who lives abroad, dead parents, and a widow. Love at first sight and long love letters every day.

By the name of Ryan Diego born in Halifax, Nova Scotia to Spanish father and British mother, only child. I started suspecting when he mentioned going to the cinema, then a long list of things he wants to do, when I googled something I didn't understand, this page came up with the exact same list!

I told him he was busted that he's a scammer, and he communicated 3 more times insisting he was not a scammer but if I can't trust him there's no way a relationship would work and he'd be heartbroken.

I got lucky I met a very nice man and was very quick to give me all his info to prove he was the real deal. And we have been together for about 2 months and things are going great.

He is a wonderful man. So please take my advice

Good luck and love will find you when you least expect it. It did for me.

Befriended yesterday by this person. When I asked him why he befriended me, he said while searching for an old friend on FB he saw me and was attracted. Ok, wanted to know personal things about me..when I questioned him, he stated he was a surgeon for the UN in Syria, widowed with a teenage son named Graham schooling in Puerto Rico because he likes going to school there.

Sounded rather odd.....for someone claiming to be from the states/New York and Florida, his English was not up to par. Looked up UN surgeons and he is not listed. Supposedly under contract in Syria for another 2 years and really dislikes his job. Would like to settle down and get on with life. His FB page lists no friends, photos etc.

His profile pic shows a good looking man with an older gent, I'm assuming to be his father. Well for someone who says he spends all his down time from being a surgeon on FB, there was nothing to show.

It's organized rings of people doing this. They steal pictures of real people off Facebook and post them on dating sites pretending to be them or changing names and personal details and stories slightly from Facebook; they actually read through these people's Facebook posts to impersonate them.

I got catfished 3 times in 2 weeks by these guys. As everyone says on this site, it's the typical modus operandi.

Fall in love too fast with you, messengering on external apps so cannot be monitored by dating site so less evidence, working far away in war, widowed, posts pics of other people's kids, soldier, military doctor, asking for money claims government won't cover incidental costs or allow them to spend money but has no problem being allowed to be on a dating site so inconsistent stories.

Promised marriage, buying houses and cars and loves me, writes poems and says I am the only one. The same story about the dead wife and kids total BS. He had probably about 50 profiles. He needs to be stopped.

He will first ask for 250 for toiletries so he can smell good for you. Than he will need money to get the Internet. Than he will need money for airfare. Probley 750 or something around there. He was as bold to ask if i had some jewerly to sell when I told him I didn't have the money.

I was stupid enough to send him money. And I think you all know how this BS tale ends. He just moves on to his next victim.

Please I beg you all he is crazy. Block him if he had your email and change your email. Than report him to every dating site and the FBI and the United Nations because he is doing an injustice to a very good organization. So here is the happy ending. I have been just putting good positive energy out there. This ended with him I think around November. I since met an amazing man who adores me and respects me and he is smart and successful and I am very happy.

So there are good people out there. BUT HE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

He claims to also be a widower who has two daughters ages 17 and 11. He says thier names are Lisa and Elizabeth. His facebook profile shows him in a pic with both daughters. He claims to be fifty nine but facebook DOB shows him to be sixty one. He is way too young for my mom either way.

One of the latest profiles of the same fake person was set up in facebook November 25, 2016 and was removed yesterday (Dec 18) upon my request. After two days chatting, he made some mistakes and as I was not totally buying his story, started googling and found all these stories.

This latest profile was called Clifford Clinton. Looks like he has entered into Europe. He seemed to have some Spanish victims so be careful out there!!

Yes that is him and he said the same thing to me. And got very nasty after he asked me for money and I said no. If he had your email I would get rid of that email. He is very clever and I am not sure what he is capable of.

You can also report him to the FBI. That's what I did.

I am sorry you had to deal with him. A pretty good dating site I met a very nice man actually 3. Had my first date went great and asked for a second date. Just never over text a man. Let them. Come to u put out good vibes and you will attract a good man. Keep the faith.

He is Widowed with a 6 year old daughter. Very smooth talker, uses all the pet names to suck you right in. Claims he is so hooked on you then asks for you bank details so the UN can deposit money into it for his taxes, then he is able to break his contract with them and then we will be together forever claiming he will move to Australia.

Once he asked for my internet banking details the red flag went up and I blocked him.

He told me all this stuff within 10 minutes of speaking in Messenger. Just dumping out his emotional purse looking for a whole lot of sympathy, real quick. His grammar was very questionable.

He has said he is totally in love with me and wants to marry me.

How can this be true when we haven't even met?
I have spoken on the phone once but found it very hard to understand him as his accent was very broken. He said he is half British, half German.

I have since asked him to prove who he says he is. He seems very reluctant in doing this.
I will await his response for a couple of days then if he can't prove he is who he says he is then he will be reported.

Classic. I *met* a guy on Tinder - great profile pic etc. He said his name was Mason. His opening message to me cracked me up and screamed NIGERIA. "Hi Dear" lol. I messaged backwards and forwards. He told me that he was an orthopaedic surgeon for the UN in Nigeria, working on wounded army soldiers

I think he was possibly not expecting me to have worked with the UN before..and that my ex also worked for the UN. He told me that he had dual citizenship (NZ and USA) and that his mother was from NZ. His grammar was questionable and seriously, WTF is an orthopaedic surgeon doing, working for the UN patching up Nigerian Army folk...ahhh NOPE.

I got tired of chatting and so called him out on his lies. Funnily enough I didn't get any further messages ;-)

Seriously ladies, if you meet anyone online and they say they are a UN worker, or military or whatever, and ask for money, don't bother coming on here saying "are they real". You have your own answer right there. NO!

He is scammer. He will always pretend that he is a widow and send you a picture of a man with a son.

He will eventually ask you to send money for satellite phone, then ask you to send money to finish his UN contract not to go to Syria because it will risk his life and he wants to come home to be with you. He will be so good at making up story after story.....

He will pretend his mother went to hospital and has to fly to USA instead of coming home.

My friend was scammed with this guy exactly same as below stories. I think he changes his surname to fool different women. He uses a story that he is working with UN in Pakistan as an intelligence officer for 18 months contract.

He is not who he claims to be.

Most scammers uses their identity as ex-navy, ex-military, working with the UN overseas to avoid meeting you in person because they are not a real person who will meet you.

He is convincing you that he found you and he is so eager to be with you. He needs some money to fly home with whatever reason to convince you that you should help him to come home to be with you.

Never ever send money to anyone via Western Union.

This guy uses below names to ask you to send money via Western Union.

Michael Noora
Vyson Jedegwa
Euclid Onono

Whenever you come across a guy with this story and name, report it to the online site where you met him and ACCORN (Australian Cyber Crime Reporting System) to protect other vulnerable women.

by: Anonymous

I have been chatting to an internet guy who so proclaims himself as James Lembit and told me that he lives at Kirribilli NSW. He told me that he is a security intelligence officer for United Nations and is currently based at Pakistan (Peshawar).

He also told me that he is on a 18 month contract. He has been chatting to me since May 2015, but we have not met yet. I do not have his phone number or exact home address as he says he is not comfortable giving it to me for his own safety reasons. He was suppose to meet me but then had to fly to New Zealand and then upon returning to Sydney from NZ, he had to rush to New York to the United Nations for an urgent meeting.

From there he flew to Pakistan and his contract does not finish till November.

He has recently told me that he wants to keep contact with me through satellite phone service and needs me to pay the service fee of US$518. He told me that he is getting this service from a guy named Michael Noora from Virginia Norfolk. Since I am very vigilant and from day one, I found this Mr James Lembit to be too good to be true, I had been searching him online but could not find any thing about him.

Later James Lembit created a LinkedIn profile upon my request. But his profile does not contain a lot. Yes, he also told me that he is 43 yrs old and is a widower. His wife died of cardiovascular disease and he is looking for love again. His level written English is of a very high standard. This could make you really believe that he is definitely employed by UN and saying everything true to you.

I felt a little suspicious when he asked me to pay for the phone service, especially if he is working for UN then he should be paid well to pay for the service himself. On the first instance I refused to give any money. Later I decided to find out where he wanted me to send money, as from day one I had a suspicion that it could be the African racket (which I was aware of through current affairs).

I later asked him whom to send money to. He gave me the name Michael Noora and then I searched Michael Noora and found this website which mentioned his name as a scam artist. I am so glad that today I have hit the bulls eye and made it definite that James Lembit is a con artist.

Upon checking with North Sydney Council, I have confirmed that no one named James Lembit lives at Kirribilli.

Please ladies, do not give money to any internet guy if you have not met him in person. They are all users and are only after our money. We are not that weak. We do not have to be that weak.

Do not get lured by these men, they are just playing with our emotions.

Thank you to this site that I can now delete all the correspondence from this James Lembit guy. I am patting my shoulders for being vigilant and doing extra research about this man which paid off well.

I will surely crack a bottle of champaigne tonight to celebrate not sending him any money.

by: Anonymous

On Elitesingles Australia stay away from James 49 who states he is a Security Consultant. His email address is jamesoa931@yahoo.com.

He states his name is James Oram Andrick. His Phone number is +13479478977.

The scammer is most probably using another victim photo and story, so most likely will use mine along with my photos. I was fooled into sending $3,000 to cover a supposably secure phone line in Pakistan and administration costs for emergency leave with the UN.

He will win you over with well written emails and claiming to have a strong connection. He has a strong accent and sounds like he may come from Africa despite his 26 years in the US Navy. He will exploit your vulnerability and play on your emotions.

He claims he is a widow and raising his son who currently lives with his mum in New York whilst he is completing an 18 month contract with the UN. This was because he couldn’t bear to be home in Wahroonga(NSW) with the memories of his late wife Maria, but now that he found you he will do everything to come home.

He claims his wife passed away in 2011 when his son was 3yrs old. He retired from the Navy 2 years ago and has taken the UN contract. Just be ware he will play on your sympathy and tell you the most romantic story how he moved to Australia because of his late wife. All phone conversations and emails seem real and plausible, however when he asks for money RUN!

He asks you to transfer money into a UN Diplomat account where I am sure this is another woman he is talking with who has given her bank details, I know this as he later asked me for my details so he could get friends to help him out and put into my account for me to send via Western Union to his attorney Michael Noora in Norfolk Virginia.

He sends numerous photos of a man and his son. Then he will claim he has been selected to go to Syria but will find a way not to go because he has now found love again. He will claim he needs money to pay taxes to terminate his contract with the UN so they do not deploy him. This is all because he wants to come back to Australia to be with you.

I have completed a phone tracking online and it appears this phone never left New York. He is familiar with a few suburbs in Sydney, but probably researches this.

So don’t be fooled.

Do not give out any of your details. I am still hoping that I don’t find fraudulent activity in my name.

I have been talking with a guy for a few weeks who says he is an orthopaedic surgeon working for the UN. He said he was from Montreal but grew up in Germany, where his daughter is now, being cared for by his aunt.

He says he is working in Karachi Pakistan. He suggested that I write to the UN and ask for him to get leave to visit me, which was the strangest thing I'd ever heard of.

On his MSN messenger page, there was another girl he had added. She contacted me and told me she was suspicious of him...he had told her the same things.

Sadly, it seems that he is the same person that has been scamming for some time under different aliases. Freeman Burgh, Frank Sammuels and Gary Tindale...and probably many more.

Here are a few links to others who have had dealings with this scammer.

starstarstarstarstar 		Love scam from Nigeria
by: Anonymous

I too was scammed by a so called american working for UN in Nigeria as a orthopedic surgeon.

He grew up in the U\Germany and got his education in the UK, We met on Match.com and he imediatly deleted his profile and said we should chat on messenger...

He was very handsome and he loved me right away sending me loveletters. I was a fool at first because he was so charming..

He had a son and was a widower with no family at all. He told me he was coming home in a week or so but was still waiting for his letter. He finally got it and said they had exended it another 3 months.

Then he asked me to email the un and tell them I needed him home. It only took five min and I had a reply that I needed to send $700 for some tax and that he would get it back. He would then be with me within 3 days. Im a fool but not that big a fool.

I right away did some research and figured it all out.

If it's too good to be true it probably is.
