Send many, many pictures of himself: face in car, working out in gym, with a red mustang. Wanted pics of me.

He was born in Berlin and brought to the USA as a six year old. Has German accent and passport. Needs money to finalize bills from his project in Warsaw, Poland because his account was frozen.

I am a victim of scam. I lost a of money to that scammer. The scammer nicely pulled my emotional strings. I was going through a breakup and that was the time I met him on Instagram. He said his wife died due to kidney disease and he has a daughter. He said he is from Brazil and working in London and his daughter stays with his mother in Brazil. I never fell for that guy, he was so serious about loving me, marriage, house and stuff. I asked him a lot of questions and he answered all of my questions with loyalty and honesty. He said he want a mother to his child and he has seen that in me. He was loving, caring, understood what I was going through. He supported me. He then asked my address, because he said he shopped for me I said I do not want anything but he was like no baby, he wanted me to wear the one he bought as he was coming to visit me from London. I really thought it was all true, the way he expressed I thought I found the man of my life. All my life I was rejected because of of weight. I do not look good, I am fat and it never bothered him and I thought he really loves me. He was pulling the strings and I was dancing to his tunes. I trusted him so much. When he sent me the package details, he said I had to pay for the package for customs I also told I do not have, he said that I will get back my money once I get the package because out of love he put money in the package because he did not want me to spend any of my money.While I was paying also I was begging the scammer that I cannot pay and he said he was worried for the package as he had something special in that package, he begged me to save the package and I was thinking that I was just saving the package and I paid to the customs guy who pretended to be one until I got broke, but still I had to pay money to receive the package. I begged the scammer to give me my money back, he kept on saying that I will receive when the package will arrive. I cried, I literally begged him. I also questioned him that he is a scammer and this is all fake. He kept on saying baby, please my love, do not say, I am here for you, I am worried for you, etc etc..I realized very late. I was thinking how can anyone lie and scam people for money, I was thinking how can a father lie who wants the best for his daughter, I was going through a lot of mixed feelings, I still am going. I am now battling and struggling to get my money from the Bank. The Bank is upfront not to refund, as I physically deposited the money in the Bank. Someone had a fraud account in the Bank and the Bank instead of taking action and refunding my money, seems like they are encouraging. I even told the same. I told them I have nothing to eat, I have to pay my bills, I have to pay my school fee and it is my money. I even gave a complaint to the Police and the Bank is asking me to do the same. I said I did and I asked I want to reach out to the higher officials, I got the address and I have to file a written complaint forwarded my complaint I have submitted. Not only that I was having suicidal thoughts ,when I was going through those thoughts I was thinking if I did something to myself the scammer would win and I reached immediately out to therapist and talking to my therapist. My family is disappointed and I cannot talk to them about it. My family lost trust in me and hope in me. I am disappointed but I am fighting because I do not give up. I am taking my final exams and also thinking and making sure I get my money. I am really traumatized and I do not know how I will survive if I do not get my money back. I will be approaching the higher officials of Bank and write a letter and talk to them, I am broke financially, emotionally, mentally. I am embarrassed . I have filed a complaint with FTC website as soon I knew I was scammed. A lot happened between the scammer and the fraud who pretended to be from customs. I was threatened, I still have nightmares the fraud threatening me. There are lot of things I went through and I am embarrassed to tell. I was emotionally fooled more like I was blackmailed emotionally. My family is dependent on me, I do not know how my family and I will survive because I have nothing. I am really not proud of myself, I do not know how I got into this mess and I do not know how I will come out of this mess of thoughts and fear. I have been reading the comments posted on this site. It really takes courage to tell what happened. I took the courage and wanted to share mine too.

I met him on a Scrabble online game. We talked for a few months before he told me that he was a oil contractor. Now he is in Aberdeen, Scotland and now his router isnt working and also his camera. I know because I saw the issues he was having with them. He asked me for some money so he could borrow someone else's. But then a machine broke down and he didnt get his mobilization fee. Now he broke a rule with communicating with other people in order to prove to me he wasn't a scammer. And he looks exactly like his pictures but now he is in serious trouble because the supervisor caught him using the camera! And now he asked me for another 100 so we could talk. ???

8 months ago a Syrian military contacted me and he told me a story! that I was scammed with 35,000 and Sunday was the last day that I txt and from there I blocked.

anybody know of a scammer named Jane Fields , say in military, and has conned my friend out of sephora cards. wanting him to open bank account for her

I have been talking with this guy for a month and I have called him out on him lying and using somebody else's picture that wasn't his and right from the rip I knew that he wasn't even American because even though I cannot hear him talk he is definitely speaking broken English. Initially he asked if he could put $14,000 in my account to pay his son's medical bills and then he asked me if he could put his allowances into my account and now he's asking me to get him a gift card for his phone and I explained to him that I do not have any extra money and he is walking up the wrong tree I was simply playing a scrabble game and was not on a dating site looking for love I have a boyfriend and I do not understand how anyone can fall in love without actually physically touching and seeing and smelling and knowing a person it's a physical thing it's not a fantasy so I'm still talking to him and he's still trying to ask me for money and I just keep fucking around with him and he gets all defensive when I call him a scammer saying how can you do that to me how can you say those things and I can say I say those things because I do not know you I will keep chatting with you if you would like but you are not getting any money from me and I did a reverse image search and found the man in the pictures that he was using and I emailed him to inform him that he was using his last name and his images to try and romance scam people but he never got back to me and he is actually a public figure kind of he was a professional MMA fighter and a sniper special forces for the army I just think it's funny you can't fall in love with someone you've never met and I cannot believe that people are still dishing out money to these fucking idiots

I have been talking to this guy Romeo Romina for a few weeks now. He lives in London, widowed for 8 years , father Italian . Really good looking, said he is petroleum ingénier , works for Aramco. A few days after we started talking he said he got a contract to go work on an oil rig offshore in Red Sea. Now he started having problems with machines and have to buy new ones. Haven’t asked me for any money yet but he said that his credit card expired before he left. He brought cash. He sends me pictures and short videos . He looks same like his FB pictures . I am reading the stories here and it’s very similar to many others. He is very handsome , super sweet, fall in love right away, appears wealthy , wants to marry me. Red flags : has very strong accent which resemblance of African , says that his accent is because he speaks many languages ,...credit card expired ! If you are wealthy you have several cards, showed me picture of bag with cash which doesn’t look like money at all. I don’t know what to think . His FB has a few pictures but when you look at them they are all uploaded on one day in November. Posts go 2 years back though . I tried on line paid searches with images and phone number but nothing comes up. He sends me selfies but the voice is so weird it just doesn’t match the image. Asked him to send me video talking to me but don’t know if he will do it. Has anyone encountered this person ? I am not completely sure it’s scam but it has too many similarities with the stories shared here.
