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

I guess I am afraid to hear the truth. He seemed too good from the start and then everything went so fast. His name is Raymond Brody and he just went overseas to Turkey to head up a job. He just asked me this morning to get into his account and if I could send him the money. My heart hurts so bad. I tried to do a reverse search of his picture but I don' t know if I am doing it right. Can someone please give me some pointers.

Someone introduced me to him as a GENERAL US ARMY assigned to Syria today and said that his wife and two daughters were dead due to a car accident and then all that was left was a man showing me the picture of his son. And I just want to ask, can I assume that he is a fake? He asked me for a load because he said that his internet data will be lost inside the campus. and he said he did not have access to any Bank account because he was still inside the camp? Is this fake just pretending?

Anyone have an experience with Frederic Vasseur, who contacted me on Facebook. Widowed five years, daughter in Italy, He says he’s a wine seller. Attempted to hit me up for money after 3 weeks of online romancing because he was attacked and stabbed in Ivory Coast.

I was scam by man George Joseph he station in Syria can help find him please he a scammer

I recently had a "relationship" with a man named Henry Alder, he said he was an engineer and works on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. He said he is from Vienna and has a son there. His wife dies of cancer years back and is now living in Florida. He insisted on us meeting and since I live in Texas, I said I would rather wait until we knew each other better. He let it go for a little while but then asked to meet me again and I finally gave in and said let's meet in February. He sent me a copy of his airline ticket receipt and two days later he was supposed to leave on his next job and called me at 3 AM to "hear my voice" before he left. We had a terrible connection and I could hardly understand him. The next day he calls me at around 4 AM telling me he is having issues with his "Engineering Certificate" and needed $3800 to have it renewed and wanted me to send him the money. I explained I had no money to lend him and he said he was going to call his son in Vienna and ask him for help. Less than a minute later he called me back and said his son had $2000 and wanted to know if I could help with the rest and said it would be a partnership for us not just a loan. He also said he would hand me a check when he came to visit me. I stated I had no money to lend him and he said he understood and hung up. I was left shaken and did not text him the rest of the day nor did he text me. He text me the next day with a snippy remark about how funny it was that all of a sudden I stopped texting him. I told him that I was completely shaken by his request and had no idea where he got the idea that I would have money to give him. He apologized and continued texting me but them his text messages turned hurtful and he said he did not have the time to spend on a failing relationship. I then wished him a good life and blocked his contact number and blocked his emails. I have seen and heard way too many stories of scammers and thank God I had the intelligence to not give him any money and I'm only out the time I spent with him.

Has anyone had a girl by name of Jane Hillard in tamale Ghana been texting you it's a scam

I think I’m getting scammed! I met this guy on WooPlus named Hameed. He talks to me very sweet and says he wants us to get married one day. He says he lives in New York and is currently in Cyprus, Europe getting his masters degree and will return to the states in June. Last week he asked me for my bank info so that he can move around some money because that’s how he makes money with Bitcoin and I said no. Before he asked me for this information he told me that some of the tricks and loopholes he does to get his money can be illegal. I have him on ig and we have FaceTimed as well. I’m just so unsure because his game is not your typical scammer but I’m sure he is scamming me. I have much more to this story as well

I received a friend's request on Facebook last night from an individual by the name of Djidda Gara. His profile picture is of an Army officer. He is a "U.S. Assistant Attorney General at U.S. Army". His "profile" is SCREAMING scammer.......

Im currently talking to someone now who I feel is a scammer. I met him on Facebook and he goes by the name Nicolason Wiliams. And he says he is in us Army and that he is on mission in syria. But he was from las Angeles and lived in Houston, Texas. My gut feeling told me something was wrong because every thing felt rushed. He asked to talk on whats app, its only been 3 days but he talks about marrying me, and changing his life and everything. I mean what women doesn't want a man confessing his undying love for you and etc. I got to talk over the phone and his voice does not even match the picture and he said he was on base. He has not ask me for anything yet. But im gonna report him. I even tried to reverse trace his photo but i only saw two results from a Russian dating site and his name was slightly different and his age was 25 but he told me he was 41

Glad that I’ve been praying and asking the Lord with signs. Recently someone added me and eventually got my number and we talked in whatsapp, I was impressed by his profile and told me that he wants me to be his wife since he was divorced by his drug addict wife and dont have kids and living alone. We were talking for 22 days and like the other stories here, he went for a contract to Turkey and now telling me that he need to pay the taxes for his equipments or else he will pay the penalty in breaching the contract. I almost got tricked and been inlove because of his sweet talks and endearments haha. I’m glad that I found this and read the same stories about scammers. I also emailed the company about this fraud person. Always trust your gut feelings and dont get fooled by these unworthy people.

I got a message on instagram from a "olivia Helen". She kept playing all cute and everything until every text was like "baby I'm not feeling well, buy me a google play card". or some other lame excuse to get me to send her money.

This guy contacted me on Twitter - @Drake78123144 - said he was an American working in Italy as an interior designer. I'm in South Africa but that didn't deter him! Within minutes he was wanting to marry me and described in detail how our lives were going to be. Said he loved older women. He's 38, I'm 53! It was so unrealistic from the get go. When the inevitable e-mail arrived, full of grammatical errors and very "unAmerican", telling me how we should meet and be together i replied saying it was a pipe dream and that his mail sounded generic, as though it was a marketing mail. He got so upset and started gaslighting me. I ignored him and now he's blocked me on Twitter. I presume his next step was to ask for money to meet. So ladies, if this Twitter user contacts you be alert. I always apply the old adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is". Don't let your emotions rule. Trust your instincts.

Sorry to have to post here. My wife is being victimized by a man calling himself John Conn. He claims to be a doctor from Brazil who is stuck in Turkey and is trying to fly to the States to be with her. He wants to deposit money into her bank account so she can purchase a plane ticket for him because Turkey will not allow him to purchase the plane ticket due to COVID. Does anyone else know about this guy or have a similar story? I am trying to convince her it is a scam but she won't listen. I even showed her the name and Facebook page where this scammer stole these pictures. By the way, reverse-google-image-search is your best friend in finding where they stole the photos that they are using.

I am here reporting this man USN diver his name is Charles Newton and his google hangout ID is divernewton78@ .He told me he is sending debit card from Bank of America. I know he is a scammer.

I meet a woman on POF dating site. She lured me to texted by phone and then then to Hangouts. She went by the name by Janet Boadua. Said she was living in Ghana with her mom because her father had just died. She asked to send money for her 7 year old son. I did by use of a reload card. And sent her money on one other occasion. She said she was my soulmate and was in love with me. And we could be married when her dad's estate was settled and she moved back to st. Augustine Florida. When she ask for money again l suspected that she was a scammer and started to research on line about scammers and Ghana. I was amazed to find others stories that fit her profile perfectly. Luckily I wad only out 150.00. But it truly hurt that someone could do that to anyone. She knew I was a Christian and claimed to be one also. We even done Bible studies together.
