Suspicious of someone I met on Plenty Of Fish

by Tammy
(Mo.)

Has anyone had any contact with this man. We met on plenty of fish. A few days later he asked me if I would take my profile down. Before I did that I checked to see if he took his down. We have been texting on our phones and talked a couple times.

The thing that is making me suspicious is the pictures he has been sending me I found on someones instagram page. The profile on instagram is Richard(@thenewbiefit) the man I been talking to goes by the name Mark Wesley Hilton.

He’s on Bumble
by: Anonymous

He’s now on Bumble as "Mark" and within a day of messaging he wanted to take it to an app called Telegram. When I refused to download the app he asked to use Facebook Messenger which we did.

Another red flag was that he said he was employed by the US Counterterrorism unit as a PI.

Additional red flags, account says he’s from Oregon, Facebook says Utah, he says Virginia but raised in the Netherlands. He’s not yet asked for money. Initially I did a reverse image search on the first few photos he sent but found nothing. I finally got a hit on the photo attached to this article.

Thank you for exposing him! He’s been blocked and reported on Facebook and Bumble.

I've been chatting with him for a week and a half. He told me he was from Dallas and just left to work on an oil rig in the Gulf of Guinea for 6-8 weeks. He said he name was William and that he was born in England.

He's still at it
by: Anonymous

I've been messaging him for a few days and today he said he wants to be in a relationship with me and asked me to delete my POF account. Said no as we don't know each other yet.

Put a post on FB in a group I'm in as my gut instinct went wild when he said this and all responses said to delete him. He is well and truly deleted but goes by the David fans is a travel agent from Scotland

Mutual app
by: Anonymous

This person also contacted me on Mutual app for dating. He said his name was Micah and then said it was Keith Stevensen and said he was leaving on a trip to Dubai for 6 months. He kept switching how to contact him (directly on a call phone and then using Hangouts).
His English wasn’t very good but he said he was Norwegian so I tried out some Norwegian with him and he said he didn’t speak it. I then asked him to send me a photo of what he was doing right now and it seemed legit but then I reversed googled that image and found it came from someone else’s profile. I then found this site.

Response to Wow
by: Anonymous

His photo looks like it has been photoshopped. Do not send any money, do not put his phone on your account. Do not open up yourself to be manipulated. He is fake.

Sounds like someone who scammed me. Same MO just a different name. Did you get an address for the person to send to?

wow!
by: Tammy

These guys will try anything and everything. Now Mark or whatever name he's going by today couldn't get money out of me to supposedly come to me as soon as he can get back to the states through bitcoin along with an iPhone that he wants me to put on my phone plan. He has sent me the info of a man name Yudi Hodge in Brooklyn to send 800.00 to through money gram.

Before I figured out what he was up to he got me for 500.00 by having me send it through money gram to someone in North Carolina.

Not this time buddy!

Update
by: Tammy

With a little more digging around I found out this newbie fit guys name he is using on Twitter is Richard Wilson who may be in on it or be Mark himself. Also the man calling himself Mark sent me a pic of a guy for me to set up a friend with looks just like another pic I saw on here.
