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

A guy named james wilson started trying to talk to me on words 2. Thought he just needed someone to talk to. He quickly asked me to chat on hangouts. Then the story starts wife died 5 years ago. He's raising 2 kids one 14 and one 17. He's an oil rig engineer. I have a feeling I'm chatting to 2 different people. English gets bad. He says he needs 50 I tunes card to up date his bank account software! Does this sound familiar to anyone I have photos.

En este momento me esta escribiendo mina lorence soldado americano en Afganistán y me esta pidiendo abrir una cuenta para enviarme 50.000us. Y dice que se quiere casar conmigo y apareció de un momento a otro y ya esta enamorada, donde puedo exportar el número, me envió foto de carnet de identificación del ejercito

I was cheated by a man named James Daniel from Washington, engineer working on a rig in Australia. Widower, one 14 year old kid, chat every morning and night for 6 months. Exactly like the same modus operandi of the ones people have been telling here. Take care of this guy.

My dad passed away little over a year ago and since then my mom 59 hasnt been the same....until she met someone. She seems to be in love with this person. I love to see her happy but i find this man very suspicious. She hasnt met him and she says he is stationed at some base (military i guess) and isnt allowed to leave. Meanwhile hes making promises to buy my mom a house car and promising to moving here with my mom. I dont know much more about him because my mom doesnt tell alot worried me n brothers & sisters are mad at her for moving on.but recently she sent me this picture of him and what looks to be his name on photo.i am worried to death about her can someone give me some tips into finding out if this picture is the person he says he is. She was married to my dad for 42 yrs so shes new to the dating stuff which leaves her vulnerable to scam. Help........how do i upload pic so you can see if youve seen it b4. The name on photo is Anton Ivan

Pues a mí una tal "Sargento Pages Lewis", de las Fuerzas Armadas de EEUU, me dice que necesita sacar de Irak más de 10 millones de dólares estadounidenses, y que me dará el 40% si le sigo el juego... Me pregunto quién se puede creer tamaño embuste.

I believe I may be getting scammed and it has been going on for over a year. The name I know him by is Stephen Wesley an orthopedic surgeon who's wife died in childbirth with their son Jackson. Similar story as to what I have read Jack needs money but Stephen can't access his money. But when I needed money I was given it so it made me think they were legit. The son had me sending money for him and his friends so they could invest in something in Nigeria. I never put money into it but had to send it for him. No big red flags went off for me until just this last week when he demanded I send $600 to his son because he supposedly gave his dad a payment for the house he was buying for us and he had to have it back now and couldn't wait until December they his dad would be home finally! So I went back and double check the stuff I looked up before and it was all gone, everything that I had used to prove to myself that he was legit was just gone and I did a reverse pic search and came up with 6 different names he goes by. He of course claims that it is the hacker that stole his pics!! Yeah right!!

Hola chic@s. Conocen a un tal Jude Daniel Ugus, vive en Londres, originario de Finlandia pero tiene la ciudadania de UK, Ingeniero Civil, independiente, es Constructor y actualmente por licitacion ganada, está en Estanbul, divorciado, con un hija de nombre Linda, apuesto, con mucho dinero, se viste bien y sobre todo habla muy pero muy bonito, casi perfecto, como para ser real!... Tiene el mismo modus operandi.... te enamora, llama casi tres veces al día, para ganarse la confianza, estudia muy bien tu perfil.... pidió amistad por Facebook, lo acepté porque era amigo de una amiga. El, es el de la foto. lo llamé por video llamada para asegurarme y si, es él. El Nr. de tel. es de Inglaterra. Lo ví, como 3 veces, después la cámara de su cel. se dañó al caerse en el aeropuerto. Bueno, actualmente se encuentra en Turquía, trabajando para el gobierno Turco. Pero despues del enamoramiento... (ya saben, va a venir a visitarte, quiere casarse contigo, eres la mujer de sus sueños, que nunca fallarà, etc, etc. mejor lo esperarè sentada, porque parada me cansarè. jajaja) ... vienen los problemas: que la cuenta està bloqueada, (Lo extraño es que allí, no me pidio dinero, sino queria que habrierá su cuenta para pagarle a sus proveedores!!!que en otras partes se podía abrir menos en Estambul? le dije, si estaba lavando dinero o que? hasta ahora no entiendo bien la jugada. no accedí y no nos hablamos como un mes, estaba molesto. El era un hombre honesto por qué dudaba de él?? pero después me escribió pidiendo dinero, que se le acabo lo de la tarjeta de crédito y no tenía dinero para el alojamiento, que por favor... trabajan al sentimiento. Accedí de enviarle dinero, seguirle el juego, para ver a dónde llegan... pero siempre se presente un problema tras otro.... hasta ahora me escribe. es gracioso de una parte, tiene humor, es muy inteligente.. le traté indirectamente de hacer entender que los estafadores, se ponen ellos solos, la cuerda al cuello..pero nada. Son muy astutos. Cómo dije, estudian bien el profil de la víctima.. se las saben todas, pero las mentiras tienen patas cortas... Hasta ahora nos comunicamos. siempre le digo que no tengo dinero, pero pasado un tiempo, vuelven con lo mismo, son incistentes y no se dan por vencidos. Si alguién sabe cómo funciona lo de la cuenta bancaria, de él? me avisa por favor. Nunca le di Nr. de cuenta bancaria. Se comunica por Viber. Esperando que les haya servido de algo mi experiencia. Saludos

Anyone have any contact with a PATRICK MORRIS

I have a question, I am currently texting with someone by the name of Logan Jenkins Smith, and he is stationed in" South Korea", when I asked him about calling or skyping, he said if I could send an email to departmentofdefenceus 1940@ gmail and ask for him to be allowed to call me? I am sure it is fake , but there is always the glimmer of hope! Has not asked for anything else yet.

One actually fell in love with me and showed me his real photos and we met and we're actually together

Hi Guys! I was contacted by a guy on OkCupid named "George Lucas Harrison" (Phone no.: +81345404968). Said he's a software engineer who is assigned in Samsung Japan and also owns a truck rental in Florida being run by his mom named "Amanda Betty Harrison" (Phone no. (+14076308805). After a few days of talking said he deleted his dating app profile to focus on me. After a day or two, told me he will come to the Philippines to attend a worship leader conference in Cebu City and is planning to see me after. On the day that he was supposed to come, came the problems. He called early morning to say he lost his wallet, blah blah blah. Bottomline, he needs money so that he could still change his flight details without having to leave his passport as a collateral with the airlines who will be nice enough to help adjust his flight details. His mom even joined him in sending me messages about all those stuffs that don't add up. I did not and will not send any money to someone I do not know. When he figured that out, he stopped messaging. So do not ne fooled, people. Bad people would use even the name of God just to scam innocent people.

ALL of these men have either lost their wives to a tragic death or the wife cheated on them. the kids are either at boarding school or with a nanny. They all fall in love right away hoping that we will do the same. I will ask questions like what time is it where you're at and when they reply I Google to see the time and most of them tell the wrong time so right then I know they're lying. If you look at some of their service uniforms they have different names on the patches or they try to Black them out so you cannot read them. I don't trust anyone anymore when it comes to online. and if any of you have money you just need to throw away let me know I have a daughter that im trying to put through college.

I have a question. I filed a complaint with the 1C3 FBI site, now I was scammed for $3000, paper trail, I sent a ck to his sect. I even have the Sect.'s address, went to her house, I even have her bank acct #. This was 2 months ago, with such inform . How long does it take for something to happened. I could use this money back. I stopped talking to him realizing his cash cow dried up, yes constantly asking for different denominations of money . Thank you I had passed all this inform along. I can't believe this happened to me .

Y sigue sucediendo, yo conocí a un chico por una app dónde supuestamente se aprende inglés. La cosa que como todo , uno le cree, cambie teléfono, era de florida Jacksonville, estaba de misión en África que viajaría esta semana a usa. Pues si me hablo, me llamó y todo. Para mí mal intercambie fotos y video solo de saludos. Porque los comprometedor no sale mi rostro. Se hace pasar por Michael Lloyd y su número es 320 5100988. Un día después de una semana, se me ocurre buscar las fotos en el motor de búsqueda de Google imágenes y resulta que más fotos eran de un Australiano Dr. Muy conocido.. solo le dije que y sabía que era un estafador, que gracias por subirme la autoestima. Y que lo denunciaría, se enteró que me llamaría por la noche, que porque le hacía eso sí el me amaba.. Pero bloqueado, ojalá no me envíe mensaje de otro fono. Pero ya está la denuncia y gracias a lo leído se que responder.

I’ve been “engaged/dating” a Daves Anderson! Knew exactly what I needed and wanted to hear. Sent him iTunes and Amazon cards! Had me set up new checking accounts because he wanted me to buy a house for us! Luckily the bank shut it down when he tried to deposit! He however managed to have a check sent to me which I cashed and wired to him! It made sense to me at the time. I’m so stupid because the check bounced and now I’m in trouble for fraud! I’m scared to death as I’m unemployed and only get spousal support right now! I don’t have $1500 to pay it back! I don’t know what to do! I took my laptop and jewelry to a pawnshop to get him money! Now I’m going to lose all of my life which was on the laptop!!! He showed me pictures of his mom and son. Is a Staff Sargent but according to the military record he gave me he should be a higher ranking officer. Went to the recruiting office and his name is no where in the system. Doesn’t exist!!! 100% fake! He’s still trying to get me to send him money! Wondering that because he is still active with me if the FBI can track him down and get my money back! I almost sold my car for him! Very, very convincing !!!!! Has tons of selfie pictures! Now he’s saying he was on his way home to be with me when his phone and passport were stolen! Kano, Nigeria airport!! Says he’s dying of malnutrition! I may be gullible but I know you cannot live in any airport for almost 2 months and survive for more than 2 weeks without food! He still insists he’s army and has no way to contact them! I was told to get his unit # and I could contact a Base and they would send somebody. He couldn’t give me his unit # and the unit # he gave me in the beginning was discontinued during WW2! All lies! He even had scammers posing as friends wire me money and I would wire it back to him! So much! I gave him my heart! I sold possessions! He was so good and convincing! It wasn’t until he was stuck in the airport that I started digging! 2 months no food? 2 months living in an airport? Can’t happen! Found his pictures under several names but always uses Anderson! Daves, James, Williams are a few I’ve found on the dating sites! Somebody has to help us! The army has to either not allow dating to happen or provide us with a way to verify these slime balls stealing our good soldiers identities!!!
