Faking it — scammers’ tricks to steal your heart and money

He requested a friend request from me on facebook. Said he lived in Long Beach NY. Told me his name was Nicolas Alessandro Luigi . He said his wife died and he had a 6 year old daughter named Diana. Told me his daughter was staying in Ohio with his disabled sister. 3 days later he told me he was flying to the UK and from there would be working out on a oil rig. One day he said he was going fishing and while fishing his cell phone fell in the water so now he could only use fb messenger.He asked me to send him I tune cards and Steam cards as well as go to walmart and buy him the new iphone for him. 2 months later he said the drill was not workkng and if he didnt complete the work he would go to jail. He said he needed money 1000.00 to get it fixed but he couldnt get money from his account because his account was locked due to a banking error. He said he was born and raised in Italy. When he would call on the phone he had a strong accent but not a Italian one

@ Aly and Jenifer, I had a person that goes by the name James Nguyen on Facebook that try to get me to send him 1000 dollar so he can transfer to buy his gold in Nigeria. He claim to be a 47 years old widow who wife died from skin cancer. He is in Africa for a business trip to buy gold to resell in the U.S. I did not send him the money and call him out on it and he change it up by saying I don't need your money anymore.just 2 days ago he was robbed so he lost everything so he wanted me to get him my credit card so that he can come back to me lol. When I refuse to give him my credit card he block me on Facebook lol. His profile. He a music teacher that is self employed.

Omg philip Nguyễn on Facebook. I have been talking with him in 2 weeks ago. He is talking so sweetie.. dear, Honey, my love, my angel, I love you...he said he 42yrs ex girl friend died by car accident. He has son 5T with nanny. He is a navy us. His parent was pass away when he was a small boy.he said he haft and haft American with Vietnamese.

Same guy Philip Nguyen contacted me on Word Chums then Hangout. Said he was a Mining Engineer working in Ukraine in a diamond mine. Said he has one 16 year old son living with his cousin in Atlanta Georgia. Romanced me for 3 months before asking for Amazon Gift Cards. First I said no but these guys are good. Sent him $200 in Amazon Gift cards. He never contacted me again. I really wish I had seen this site first before sending money. I feel so stupid.

Hi Jennifer, my daughters name is Jennifer to. I am really glad l this site. When l get a gut feeling l know what it’s telling me,but this wonderful sweet loving man,Orlando Marco which l meet on Zoozk dating site. First time I had been on one. And we fell madly in love, o what a foul i am. My husband pasted away 4yrs ago, and felt it was time to move on, he would have wanted me to,. Well Orlando told me he lost his wife in a car accident 4yrs ago they have a daughter 24 and she was in Paris France, going to university. I just asked him today what she was studying, his reply business management, yea right I know l told him that is what l did before retiring, and I sure as hell didn’t have to go to Paris to do that. I took my coarse at Algonquin college, and that is here in Ontario Canada, where l still live, and on his profile it said he lived in Addison, which is about 1/2 hrs from me, like how good does that get. Please forgive me for going on, l am very chatty, can at silly which he LOVED he thought different personalities would go together so good. Hehehehe Because he is a business man in the oil and gas exploration. He even has his own company which took him to South Africa on Thursday June 18th. Then he texted me on Thursday 20th. 2019. So this has happened pretty recently., the first time he messaged me back ( I sent him a like) he said he would like to get to know me better. So this happened May 30th. Asked me to marry him, wanted to know if I wanted yellow or white gold and a diamond wedding ring. I said that Kind of fast l would prefer for him to ask me in person and he agreed. But l forgot to tell you when he sent me this email (l hadn’t replied yet) he sent me a picture of him at TIFFANYS &CO. On his lunch hrs he was going to buy us rings then but thought he should ask me first which l prefer better. That’s why I replied back we should wait. O and he said he was from Florence Italy. So was his dad,his mom was from Tampa Florida USA. Never asked him he came to live in Addison Ontario, then he said he bought a house at Port Sydney Ontario after his wife passed away. Did l tell you he is sooo handsome he has sent me sooo many pictures. He even sent me one when he got off the plane AC when he arrived in Africa. So if anyone of you ladies want to message me back with any questions what ever it would be please me very much, if I am not lonely old lady, and l certainly not stupid. I became suspicious when he asked me to wire transfer 10.000. Thousand dollars to him when he was robbed from a taxi going to a site. They took everything from him. He said he phoned his bank right away when the police took him to the hospital had all his business assets frozen so they could not get into them. O u know he even sent me pictures of his company business account and one of his personal account with the credit Trust Bank at 25 N Muskoka River Rd. Port Sydney. I got that address of his business contract his company and the one from Pretoria South Africa. Signed agreement. . I would love to be able to look u his photo online,not sure how to do that but I will figure it out. So again reply back if u want.

Ok this is Blanche her, l was trying to see if anyone replied to me...?

Funny, my scammer after blocking him contacted me through WhatsApp from a Tracy Nguyen alias.

Does anyone know a Patrick waters? Army 18b? I bought him 125 iTunes Gift card and wired him through western Union 200.00 to what he called an agent that his commander assigned to get all the care packages together since the drop had been compromised by a bomb a terrorist had planted and injured some soldiers. The agent was Jamie joshlin from ripley,ms. He never asked me for more money. He said his birthday was May 20, 1983, he was from la, ca, he had been living in Missouri for 7 years this was his last deployment. He was in search of true love because he caught his girlfriend in bed with his best friend. His uncle raised him. His parents died in a car wreck. He hates the beach. He loves books especially the Alamo. He has a two year degree in engineering. He works three days a week when he’s back in Missouri the other days he’s taking care of his uncle and he died recently while on deployment. I have several pictures. We never spoke on the phone or emailed. He couldn’t take current photos because of the cctvs. He had a German Shepherd that he didn’t know was looking after it. He never said he loved me or wanted marriage or kids. He called me baby which I told him not because we never met in person then he would call me honey which I don’t like. He talked about buying a house closer to me since he no longer had an uncle. I asked him what his favorite meal was and he said bacon and eggs. Simple but it’s better than eating out of these packages everyday. He said he couldn’t always text me because he was on patrol or he needed to sleep because Iraq had different hours. I googled his name and nothing comes up, Facebook nothing, his pic nothing, looked For his pic on the scam sites nothing. I searched his cell number it’s a landline in Michigan. Any ideas?

I just got a call from Patrick's Dr. Saying Omg he's been in a bad car accident and he wanted to talk to me. Hes had 2 surgeries and needs more. But they cannot do them without some financial help. I told them to contact his kids and that in the us you cannot give anyone's medical information over the phone to a friend. Then I hung up and blocked the #.

HI ACooper, I have a situation very similar to yours minus me telling him I love him. My guy said he loves me and continues to say it, but I am not there yet and I've told him how I feel about saying "I love you". My guy has hinted that he needs $100 to rent a store where he can continue as a barber. He was working at a barber shop when we met in early December, but the owner decided to give his wife the shop for her use. I am not sure if I should send him the $100, as I do feel terrible if he is unemployed under the conditions in Nigeria. Have you gotten any responses? I am curious to know anyone's advice.
