Oil Rig Engineer Scammer

by Anonymous

I got scammed by an impostor and scammer thru the dating site of Older Women Dating. He texted me and told me that he fell in love right away when he saw my picture. On the Apps he is registered as Wil, 56 years old and lives in California City, California.

He claimed that his real name is Wilston Gary, divorced for 12 years, have two grown up sons, a doctor and a detective. He also claimed he is a retired merchant marine but currently working as a master mariner consultant for Exxon Mobil and Shell.

He claimed that he is presently out in the sea doing an underwater survey and will not be on land until March.

He sent me a picture of himself and asked for mine also. He begun telling me how beautiful I am and he wants to have a long lasting relationship with me. This went on for two weeks and then he asked me if I can assist him to get him a new iPhone.

Stupid me, I was lulled into it and bought it and sent it to his associate named, Lauren Steven Aboyami, who lives at Apt 2007, 11735 South Glen Drive, Houston, Texas 77099. He claimed he have a house in California, Pennsylvania and Texas but resides in Pennsylvania. He claimed that he is opening a sea service system company in Galveston, Texas.

Then on 1/23/23 I was lulled again to send money to Ivan Chappel, account #8778812779 that has an account at Wells Fargo Bank 208 E US Highway 79, Franklin, Texas 77856. After a day or two he again asked me to send more money and this was when I got suspicious and told him to leave me alone and I will report him to the authority. He stopped communicating from then on.

I went to my bank and told them about the wire transfer they did for me to see if they can recall the money. The money was already taken out in the account but my bank told me that they will contact Wells Fargo and inform them that there is a scam involved in the transfer.
