Oil Rig Scammer Kevin Lorenzo

by Naomi
(Cape Town)

He pretends to be a 44 year old Brazilian, living in Costa Mesa California since 19 years old. He is divorced 3 years now. His ex wife Jenny, lives in Canada and she slept with his best friend, thats the reason why he doesnt have friends anymore. Trust issues.

His 5 yearold son, Murphy, lives with his mom in Brazil. He is an Oil rig engineer contractor. He ends up getting a contract in KZN, and everything goes wrong financially. I met him on Skout. He has now opened a new profile under Lorenzo and not Kevin.

His email address is kcutelorenzo@gmail.com. his cellnr +1 323 531 5855.

He has green eyes, caramel skin and a distinct tattoo over his left shoulder. He is obviously impersonating this guy.

Marcos Basilio
by: Anonymous

He scammed me for about R110 000 South African Rands. He said he is Marcos Basilio from Brazil but staying in USA California at Costa Mesa Estate. He was married for 8yrs and divorced because the wife was taking drugs and cheated on him. He said he won a tender in KZN to drill 7mill of oil. He has a huge tattoo on his left shoulder side, greyish eyes very handsome and a sweet talker.

He has a 5yr old boy by the name Bruno and he stays with mom in Brazil. Suddenly the machine broke and he had to buy another one but had no funds to pay customs. He said he has asked the team he was working with but no luck. He asked me to assist and I said I cant and he suggested I get a loan and because i trusted him I helped him.

Then suddenly the mother is sick in Brazil and after a week the mother was not talking and taken to ICU. The he wanted to go home and see the mother and his son ofcouse.

But he found the nanny with the ex wife, and he pretended to be very upset about it. After a few days of chatting, the ex wife stole his phone that was next to his mom and sent me a WhatsApp message that she will block me and discard the phone as she wants to be with her ex hubby and that was the last time i spoke to him from a number

He tried to scam me too, promised me the moon and stars and I met him on tinder and subsequently reported him on there and said that the pics don’t belong to him. His new name is Marcos Basilio with same story just his sons name is Bruno, moms name is Dulce and I even have 2 videos he sent me where he is having a beer in the bath, same face.

Wonder how he got hold of those videos tho..he is also on fb by this name but you cannot post on his wall. I even got a WhatsApp from someone in USA posing as his chef on the rigs. I have sent him a WhatsApp cos he asked me for 120k - is he insane????

I told him I’m gonna expose him and I know he is a Nigerian and get the authorities involved and needless to say I was blocked.

Still Busy with his scams - Tinder
by: Anonymous

Hi Ladies,

This guy is still active. I met him on Tinder on 28 Feb 2021 with the same story stating he works on the oil rig in California yet using the name Alfonso and has a 5 year old son living with his mom in Brazil as he got custody.

He is a charmer indeed, but after 1 day he said he loves me which is extremely strange as we've never met and it was then that my guards went up. Day 3 I spoke to him via WhatsApp and justified why i didnt feel the same as he did, but told him why I felt the way I did. I told him about scammers and he was all acting as if these guys are wasting time to do all this scamming claiming hes real and i don't need to feel this way (unknowing to him, i had an idea he was a scammer).

When i mentioned to him that I am way too smart for these scammers, he advised me to make up my mind and let him know whether I still want to pursue the long distance relationship. Our call was interrupted by a poor network and I sent a WhatsApp telling him the network was bad and he blocked me.

I then went to Telegram where he also had an account and i sent him a message "After all you are a scammer, omw, am I not good" which he read and deleted his telegram as well.

Ladies this guy is still very active and does sound like a Nigerian but speaks very well English and is extremely caring.

DO NOT FALL FOR THAT. For me I wasnt scammed by him, but had my guards up from the beginning and exposed him before he could scam me. So if your instincts are telling you something, please do not ignore, this guy is stupid to be a Brazilian but speaks like a Nigerian. That is where my headlights went on, it just doesnt make sense.

SO ladies if you come across a handsome guy with beautiful green/blue eyes, please this is the guy

SANTOS FROM SAN FRANSISCO
by: Anonymous

Hi there, something made me Google his cell number and came across this page. I'm currently chatting to him and blocked him as soon as I read these reviews.

He also calls me often and I wondered why his accent was so very weird. I agree that its Nigerian.

He's currently on Tinder as Santos. Everything you all have said in these reviews is how he's been treating me. Only, he has never mentioned money, that may have been in the pipeline.

Be safe ladies... I'm officially off social media as of now.

Levels of Deceit
by: Anonymous

Thanks for sharing his supposed website. One has got to appreciate the well thought out company promise, accompanied by somewhat tainted English and a photo which is clearly stolen and photoshopped. It is down right obvious.

Carlos Ribeiro Is an America based Brazilian; CEO Ribeiro Integrity Rigs; An Independent Licensed General Contractor handling all Rig related matters. He have been Independent for years now handling projects Internationally across the Globe, good at what he does. He have being a source of hope to youth and many homes being an employer of labor.

Ladies: Take some time and visit Youtube - search scammer 60 Minutes and you will find some hearbreaking stories.

My wish is that women whose gut tells them something is off to not ignore it. Trust your gut feeling ladies. It will never throw you off.

Take care.

Still at it
by: Anonymous

He is on Tinder at the moment with Kings as his username. Once he starts chatting he tells the same story as below: Carlos, a Brazilian living in California, divorced, 5 year old son living with his ex etc. Very fast mover which always creates suspicion. Thank goodness I found this site so didn't have to waste my time. When I didn't accept his proposal of a long distance relationship he quickly unmatched his profile and blocked me. This is his cellphone number +1(949)2039605.

This scam is still out there so be careful.

Goes by the name of Carlos Ribeiro. He is anyone woman's dream. Looks and charm.

Now he is looking for money to clear a machine at customs in Cape Town. I actually work for customs in Cape Town and know there is nothing of the sort yet he thinks I am his fool. Its all about him at times too.

He promises to marry you and take you home as Mrs Ribeiro after his contract is done in Cape Town, Mossel Bay. A professional scammer.

Operates lots of numbers. I met him on tinder and he claimed he deleted his profile after meeting the new Mrs Ribeiro and sent screenshots of him deleting the profile. A super con artist.

Found him back on Tinder as C,44.

Who is the next victim of his scam

Exact same story
by: Anonymous

He is talking to me at the moment -- the exact same story. With updated photographs. Cape Town. Divorced. The son. Costa Mesa. He was using badoo this time. How do we find the REAL person to tell him that his photographs are being used like this? And yes he sounds Nigerian.

And how do we ensure that this does not continue? He has to be stopped for the sake of other women.

Oil Rig scammer
by: Anonymous

Whos also going by the name of Carlos Anderson. The same guy on pics claims he is from California and is an Oil Rigger, getting contracts in SA. Scammed a family member of mine into attempted suicide, and they apparently met on a online dating site, were in touch via whatsapp, and when things went sore, commented on her facebook posts spoke trash and threatened her with incriminating footage and pics.

Apparently needed a new machine to complete his project and was short of $2.700 to retrieve his machine from customs, he told her she had 48hrs to cough up R72000.

Yes has Nigerian accent.

Carlos Anderson
by: Anonymous

Yup, this guy said he was 48 from Costa Mesa, that he was in Cape Town for 10 days. He said that he was living in a hotel in camps bay and that he was leaving for the states wednesday 12 december.

His english was very good. He has a 5 year old.
I voice called him and could immediately tell that I was speaking to a nigerian and not an american.

His scam only lasted 2 days with me. I verified the number he called from is +1 (949) 339 2053 and it is a californian number - not sure how he did that.

He's Back
by: Anonymous

This time his name is Kevin Lorenzo Wagner {the name Wagner comes from the winery that produces his favorite Caymus Wine}. He is a master when it comes to seducing women. Hours on the phone, poetry and even flowers but sadly, he is not real.

He is not capable of love or remorse nor does he have the ability to change. Unfortunately, he spoils it for the good guys out there.

In just 6 days I have found at least 11 inconsistencies in his stories. According to "Kevin", he is currently stranded in a hospital in Turkey, needing money for his release. Maybe we can all chip in? lol Once released, Kevin should go into acting, he's a natural!

Be safe and smart.

Carlos Erico is still active
by: Anonymous

This person is a professional scammer, and probably the best one currently! Ladies watch out! He courted me for 2 months. He masters women psychology very well, and therefore will romance you with all you ever wanted your dream man to tell you.

You will fall in love with him because he is extremely caring, patient, generous with the time he spends with you, an excellent listener, very comforting, and handsome based on the stolen pictures he sends. Eventually, and after he has gained your trust, you will find out that all he wants is your money.

Just block him and stop any contact. He is so dangerous, have the courage to delete all means of contact with him. And please never believe he loved you at any stage. I'm relieved I was smarter and smelt something was wrong before he used me. Ladies, it's worth doing our homework and checking on internet those online daters before we engage too far with them.

Even if we are lonely and looking for a partner, it's worth waiting for the right one.

Have been in contact with the same person and he had the same story. After chatting two weeks he pretended to be in love and spend literally hours daily on the phone with you. Then however he calls daily from a fake number. After six weeks he eventually asked for money to enable him to pay import taxes for a supposed oil rig machine he was in desperate need of.

He used the exact same photos with me. I must however tell you girls this man is very good in dealing with woman. Knows how to push the right buttons so to speak.

He Became Honest
by: Anonymous

Hi. Thank you for sharing too. After I exposed him when he was Cutest on Zoosk, he had a new profile and then by the name of Honest. How ironic. Anyway I have also written two posts about him. He probably has another account in Zoosk already.

This is their full time job so they are always going to find ways to manipulate the system. Zoosk has basically become a safe haven for scammers. Almost every second person you meet is a lie. Don't really blame the forum but Zoosk photo verification is not a 100% accurate and this man gets away using stolen pictures of an innocent man.

And so another victim
by: Anonymous

I pretty much got the same story.

Have to say this guy is quite good. Makes you feel on top of the world. And as soon as he is caught out he deactivates his profile.

I'm glad i was one step ahead of him.

'Cutest' on Zoosk
by: Anonymous

Firstly, I am so glad I found this page because this so called Kevin Lorenzo is very hard to find on social media or anywhere else for that matter. Searching him by his phone number on Google brought me to this page. Most grateful.

I met him on Zoosk two weeks ago and he goes by the name Cutest. And he pretty much spilled the same story. His real name once you chat to him is Pedro Levi Diego. Apparently he downloaded the Zoosk app whilst on holiday in Cape Town a month ago and is still very new to the site.

During this week Algoa Oil offered him a contract and he is apparently going to be in the country (Cape Town) on Monday, 14 October 2016.

A real fraudster indeed!
