Image of cupid and heartNot everyone using online dating sites is looking for love. Scammers create fake online profiles using photos of other people — even stolen pictures of real military personnel. They profess their love quickly. And they tug at your heartstrings with made-up stories about how they need money — for emergencies, hospital bills, or travel. Why all of the tricks? They’re looking to steal your money.

As if all that isn’t bad enough, romance scammers are now involving their victims in online bank fraud. Here’s how it works: The scammers set up dating profiles to meet potential victims. After they form a “relationship,” they come up with reasons to ask their love interest to set up a new bank account. The scammers transfer stolen money into the new account, and then tell their victims to wire the money out of the country. Victims think they’re just helping out their soulmate, never realizing they’re aiding and abetting a crime.  

Here are some warning signs that an online love interest might be a fake. They ask you to:

  • chat off of the dating site immediately, using personal email, text, or phone
  • wire money using Western Union or Money Gram
  • set up a new bank account

Did you know you can do an image search of your love interest’s photo in your favorite search engine? If you do an image search and the person’s photo appears under several different names, you’re probably dealing with a scammer. And if the person’s online profile disappears a few days after they meet you, that’s another tip-off.

Here’s the real deal: Don’t send money to someone you met online — for any reason. If your online sweetheart asks for money, you can expect it’s a scam.

Unfortunately, online dating scams are all too common. There may be tens of thousands of victims, and only a small fraction report it to the FTC. If this happens to you, please report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

I also was contacted by someone saying he was an orthopedic surgeon in Sana’a Yemen. He is a widower of 5 yrs and his son was also killed in the car accident. He has a 15 yr old daughter that goes to boarding school in Lakeland Fl. He had 15 more months left on his UN contract and had asked me to send him $2000.00 so he can get out of his contract early. He sends me love poems every morning, professes his love for me etc. His name is Richard. The pictures he sent me are not him I was finally able to find that out. Of course he swears that that person stole his identity. We contact each other on Hangouts. Met on Instagram where he contacted me. I have not sent him any money, and don’t intend to no matter how sweet he tries to sound. Reading this site makes me want to put the screws to him but can’t figure out a way. No matter how good they make you feel ladies don’t send them anything. If you can’t play the game block them. If you do continue with them just tell yourself it’s a scam so you do get pulled in no matter what . Sounds like some of you may have been in contact with the same guy in Yemen. Don’t send anything.

So he/she is at it again. "CHARLES WALKER, orthopedic surgeon in Yemen"friended me on FB yesterday, and I saw that he was friends with someone I knew so I accepted. But he had little info and only one friend, mine. I looked at his FB page and I could see a teenager, apparently his son who he said was 15. We chatted last night and a this afternoon. His chats were obviously headed to romance, and he said he unfriended my friend because he wanted to be exclusive with me. I told him that made no sense because the whole point of FB is to have multiple friends. He changed the subject, so I went looking for him on google and that's how I came upon this page. I went back to chat and told him I believed he was a scammer and then unfriended and blocked him. No need because when I looked for his FB page, many other Charles Walker's showed up, but not his. Glad I only waisted 2 days.

Hi, I’m also want to confirm this guy that I’ve been chatting with for 3 weeks now. I’ve met him on tinder actually in his profile he doesn’t have a photo wearing a uniform all 5 photos were normal pictures. But in his short description he said that he’s a navy not looking for a hooks ups. That’s why I swiped right without thinking he would swiped right for me as well. When we matched he didn’t actually message me first. I’m the one who started the conversation asking him whats the color of his eyes. Then after 2 days he replied a very long message saying sorry to me that he replied so late because he can’t use his phone a lot because of restrictions at his work. he said if I still want to talk to him I can send him an email (which is a gmail account) so he gave me his email add and his number though I didn’t get his number only his email. I sent him an email telling that I'm the lady he met on tinder. In these 3 weeks we can’t communicate daily since from monday to wednesday he’s not allowed to send messages because he said his comrades are there and they were not allowed to use systems. He said he’s 29 years old working as an army staff sometimes in survaillance sometimes in IT. And from thursday till sunday he can send me long emails, long because he only send 1 email per day. He gave me his skype using his gmail I saw it with a different photo but the same face, though we haven’t use it yet. He always sends me his pics on his uniform with his last name printed on the right side. He said he doesn’t use any social media because of restriction they are not allowed to have any. Though I’ve searched his name, email, even those photos he send to me thinking he might just grab it (using google image and other image searching tool I found online I’ve search his photos) after many tries I have'nt found any information of him or relating photos. I can’t locate any social media aside from his skype which has the same email as what he was using now. I even used linked in but I found nothing. Actually he’s a very nice guy and he’s very articulate. He also telling me sweet words in which how happy he was whenever he received an email from me. Though he doesn’t talk much about his job I just cant help it but be worried if he’s lying to me or not. I don’t want to fooled as much as possible do you think he’s actually telling the truth?

I got a message from an orthopedic surgeon in Syria working for the UN, too. His name was different. He got mad when I told him I had no money to send for him to come to the States. I told him that he was the "doctor" an I was just an old retail worker. I had read a few comments about Hangout scams so I was leary from the beginning...especially when his Facebook account disappeared right after he asked me to go to Hangouts. Glad I had learned about it all before I got taken.

DONALD E WATERS ON HANGOUTS & TINDER In September I met a guy on Tinder as I was deleting my profile. He’s 39-40, 6’0 tall, nice build, dark hair, and eyes; extremely handsome and said he was a Libra. Nationality was half German and Spanish. Spoke with an accent. He told me he was an Orthopedic Dr working in Pediatrics from CA and lived in Northern Eureka. Says he was in Madison County GA working with his colleagues and eventually moving to GA. Few days later him and his colleagues flew back to CA. He sent me a lot of photos and would call mostly in the mornings before going to work. Two weeks later he started with questions: Are you in love? Would you marry me? What is the craziest thing you did for love? He says he was married for 5 years and divorced because his wife cheated on him; had no kids. Fast forward to October he and his colleagues worked for UNICEF and supposedly sent to Syria. Things were ok until he started asking for STEAM, iTunes, Sephora, and Amazon cards. He claims that he had a replacement and the cards were for the replacement’s kids, which made no sense. He claims he paid for the replacement’s plane ticket and the replacement wanted $300 in cards before he could leave. Then, I asked him for real-time photos and he would send me pics that had been previously taken. He kept telling me he had sunburns and didn’t want to take a photo until it cleared up. Finally, he sends a photo weeks later, then I recently got another one of him at a Charity function, but he changed the background to make it look more lavish. Now its November… I asked him when he planned on coming and he said he needed $440 for his flight to leave. I said give me your information and I’ll book the ticket. He says I don’t think its secure to do that or made up some bs. Every time I tried to get information out of him he either had an excuse or ignored my questions. Then he kept telling me in 2 weeks he could leave. That 2 weeks turned into another month. Now its December and I put my foot in his rear end. I told him I had enough of the bs and didn’t believe anything he said. So he turns it around and said I hurt his feelings and he was so emotional. We would talk on Hangouts when it was convenient for him. As the communication started to dwindle I told him he needed to fix it. We could never video chat because he didn’t have privacy. I called bs again. He got mad and said I talked to him like an angel, but come at him like a devil. He called this morning and didn’t want to listen to anything I had to say. Said I needed to listen to him. I told him I wasn’t listening to crap he had to say and hung up. Another thing I noticed in one of his photos was the name that I could partially see on his medical coat was different than the name he was using on Hangouts & Gmail. Plus his accent was too thick. He finally said that he couldn’t build his life around me and I was too short tempered. Then he says he gave some of his clothes to the people in Syria so he didn’t have many clothes. Then tells me he’s working for the government with war victims. 4 months of bs and my time being wasted seems to be the norm with guys on these dating sites. Also, he had a 209 area code and said he drove a 300C Mercedes. He goes by the name of Donald E Waters. If you come across this person beware because he is more than likely catfishing. This group of Orthopedics in Syria working for the UN, UNICEF, or whoever needs to be shutdown. Meeting people in real life is hard enough, then to deal with this crap is even more frustrating.

Hilary; I had the same man contact me, but he went by a different name. He said he was an orthopedic surgeon, (his picture sounds just like the one he posted and sent to me.) He lived in Houston, but worked for the United Nations in Syria. He told me he was originally from Scotland. He was a widower of 5 years had a son that was in boarding school in Florida, his son was 12. He said he has been there for the past 5 years. I asked him why he sent his son off to boarding school after his mom died and why he took an assignment in Syria. He would never answer my question. I asked him many questions about the orthopedic field (since I am in that field also) he could not or should I say avoided the question. I found another picture of him on the same website and questioned him about it and he denied it was him. I called it off before he asked me for money. He never tried to contact me again. I think he knew I was onto him. Now I have someone that says they are from the area where I live even named the neighborhood and we have not met and he had to fly to NYC on business and then his friend died and he is out of money. He says he is in imports of coco beans and his agent died and he had to fly to Ghana to bury him and check on his investments. The agent didn't have any family or friends. (RED FLAG) but I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He asked me to send him $5000. cause he ran out of money and that they don't take travelers checks over there. (BIG RED FLAG). I told him I didn't have that kind of money then he asked for $1000. and still didn't have it. Now it's down to $200. I told him to pay with a credit card and he said he only pays things with cash. I challenged him on that and he got very offended. I don't know of any business man that pays in cash only. I have been leery of this for the past 2 weeks and after reading this the RED FLAGS are everywhere. I am now going to block his number from my phone. Thank God my eyes were open after reading all these stories. I feel so stupid for falling for such a JERK, because I know better.

I ask him why he wants a $100 iTunes card the 2nd day talking to him. He says for research. His parants and older brother died in a plane crash. My heart broke. John Henry Williams with the same dark silver hair w/ trimmed beard. I googled about iTunes card and read your story! I told him yesterday That I'd send him $50 on his birthday June 15th.

He tried to get me to talk through e-mails or more private places so we can get to know one another better , then His story really got me upset! Asking for Giftcards when his son looks maybe mentally challenged. ( Very little )but either way he talked to me like "We want to talk to you more". This guy on instagram type in charle8102 & he is holding his 7 yr. Old red head boy. Now look there is no "i" in that charle.

Even had some 2nd friend “Mark” vouch for his character! He contacted me on LinkedIn. Asked to go offsite. I tried tracing numbers, reverse image search,...nothing. Very “religious”...telling me I needed to have absolute faith in him. Poor and inconsistent English and when we tried to Skype he “couldn’t get camera to work”. Be careful ladies.

Some of this sounds like some one I met on FB Dating. Theat came to Fl from CA .They was deployed to Syria on a special mission. They became a widow 3 years ago. The daughter was in CA with the nanny. He is a SSgt Commander Major in the Army. Photo is very Handsome. I was asked to email the Gen. commander one day to say i was the fiancée and please let him come home. Well i played along and asked give me his military email not gmail.com. The subject turned. I was never asked for money. If I am ask I will be smart in my response of not doing it. I would like to post the image of the photo. The photo is of a very handsome solder. The communication is on hangout. There was one video and the person did look like the phot but a 20 year older version. Yes I was told he want me to be his wife when he return to the US in a few months. I just say really and never respond back to the many I love You baby messages. He stated he will be retiring soon and building a big house in FL. I asked for a number to call the daughter. I was told there is know phone. I have to text her through hangout on her lap top. I cant call or video her. Really LOL

Dear paevere! Your story sounds identical to mine! He is a sergeant in the US army and stationed in Syria. He first asked me to send him I tune cards for his children living with their OLD aunt and FAT LAZY UNCLE because their mother had an affair and went back to Italy. He said he was having difficulty accessing his money. I DON'T THINK SO! He also had very broken English and said the same things day after day that He was SO in love with me and I was his QUEEN! He even said he went out on patrol. I called him on it one day and he didnt talk to me for a vouple of days, then he was back sayimg how much he missed me and my silence was killing him!!!He has spent 18 years in the military! It really really angers me that they pretend to be in the U.S. military and portray themselves as the men who are protecting us...putting their life on the line for our freedom!!!! Next he wanted my user name and password to my cell phone account so he could order a new iPhone and iPad so he could order it EASIER with my information! A. N.O.! He again tried to throw me a big guilt trip about not really loving and trusting him!!! I told him I didn't trust anyone I had NEVER met and spent time with! Boy did he ever use harsh words with ME! I just laughed because 2 can play his little game! He was on INSTAGRAM AS SERGEANT REGNALD MAY out if the Battalion Brigade of Tennessee. Be careful ladies his picture is of an attractive military man with his photoshopped pictures of him in his army attire carrying a large assault rifle!
