Online love asking for money? It’s a scam.

Has anyone had contact with a Malcolm Dean (or Olson) claiming to be a surgeon from Scotland and working in Kabul. Parents died in car crash , wife died of cancer. Two daughters in boarding school in Scotland. Claims to be working with Doctors without Borders but under contract with US army.

I just got scammed out of $700 by an individual who is using a fake identity posing as a military service member who goes by the name of DREW ANDERSON STOLTMAN. He is using stolen photos of a Naval service member. He contacted me on Twitter in April saying that he was looking for a relationship and wanted to settle down. I never jump head first into anything so I let him know I wasn't interested in a relationship then but we kept talking and he grew on me. He told me he was German American, who came to the USA at a young age and currently resides in the state of New York. I bout it since he had an accent. This person is a sociopath, over time he talked of wanting a future with me, marriage, we even made plans to meet. After a few weeks of knowing him, he told me he had some issues with his bank and started asking for money. Small amounts at first, then bigger amounts later for medical issues. I doubted him, openly expressed my doubts but he reassured me every time. He always had an explanation for everything and he was very persistent so I sent him the money. I really wanted to believe he was real. He swore to me that his financial troubles were only temporary and he would repay me. Like a fool I believed him. When the time came for him to repay me, he spun an elaborate lie as to why he couldn't. First he said his brother did something with his account and he needed time to resolve the issue and guaranteed me repayment then when he couldn't deliver on that promise, he apologized and told me he was going to be deployed for six months. Of course these were all lies. I should have caught on when the Twitter his used to contact me was shut down, or when he couldn't show me a medical bill and prescription note or an I.D. Yet I ignored all the red flags because I was lonely and he was charming. I'm smarter than this, I know all about online scams. I never thought I would be the victim of one. My goodness. He just created a new Instagram account with the same name and same stolen pictures and is continuing to impersonate the military serviceman I mention. He is going by the name of Drew Anderson Stoltman. Beware!

I am corresponding with Raymond Liam Lundstorm . He claims to be from Stockholm Sweden ( I have talked to him several time & he does have a Sweden accent .). States the following • In Kabul, Afghanistan • is a Green Beret special forces agent • Resides in Jacksonville, GA - first said he lived in Columbus, GA. He gave me his address, google it - home for sale • Asked for Steam Cards • States he is 37 - I have 8 photos -some look younger than 37 • Never married , no kids • on IG under iamrayliam. • States he has a dog named Bella - when I asked him what his dogs name was , he asked how I knew he had a dog , I told him he had a picture posted , he replied " Oh yeah ." • Mom is in Georgia, has Alzheimer's & a nurse 24/7. • States he went on a mission about 5 weeks ago , on the mission they recovered gold bars in which he asked if he could send them to me for safekeeping - I of course said no • States he will be hone in 2-3 months • His last relationship ended when he returned from Afghanistan, his girlfriend, cheated on him & was having having the guys baby. • I have sent him 2 steam cards I am extremely embarrassed to admit, he asked me for another one & I refused - today he asked me for another one I have not replied yet • Cell area code us 937 - Cincinnati, Ohio in which he states he has lived. I tried to do a google reverse image from some of the photos he sent me, especially the one on IG - I am not that computer savvy Is anyone in contact with him? If someone can do a reverse google image from his IG account I would really appreciate it. I feel like an idiot & am falling for this guy, I want to see if my gut is he's a scammer.

I joined a dating site hoping to meet someone to share my life with. But then I met a military guy from the site. And after the first day. He asked me to chat off the site into a chat app. Then he confessed his love so quickly. He says when I get back to the states we are getting married. Then he says can you pls go buy a card for my phone so I can keep this number and then I deleted my dating profile when he said to. But then I went back to the dating site. He magically shows up and then he says delete your profile now in the chat app. I think I’m being scammed? Then the other time I met another military guy says his name is meyers Ward and he said he’s over seas in Syria and he confesses his love for me quickly and asks me to send him a care package and said the food here is bad for my health. And he talks about marriage. I did the google image search on the picture and that picture popped up and said that picture was being used to scam people. And the real person who owns the picture name pops up so I searched the name on Instagram and found the real owner of the picture so I screenshot the Instagram page and asked the dude about it. He said that I was doubting him. I technically am doubting him. What should I do. Should I cut all ties and not talk to em again.

I meet a Spanish lady online about two weeks ago she seems to be sincere she said she has one more exams to get her r n but shewant me to send seven hundred dollars is this a bad idea ??

Does any of these guys ask for a steam gift card?

I met this guy on a dating site. He says his name is Henry he says he’s in the military in Nigeria. He confessed his love to me very quickly on the very first day. Then he says as soon as I get back to the states we are going to get married. Then he asks me to delete my dating profile so we can chat on WhatsApp. Then he tells me. He’s about to lose his number and he asks me to go buy a 50 0r a 100 dollar amazon gift card so he can buy a new number. After he told me this I thought it was a bit sketchy. So I told him I don’t have the money to do that. But he kept pushing me and pushing me into getting that for him. I got fed up so I deleted the WhatsApp and then redone load it. And deleted my profile for awhile then I resigned up on the dating site hoping he won’t find me then he finds me again. It feels like he’s stalking me. It terrifies me to be on a dating app now cuz of this. I looked up the pictures he sent me through the google image search and nothing is coming up. So I’m still sketchy. So I’m deleting the WhatsApp again cuz the dude knows my number. I’m sure he will find me again. What should I do?

Does anyone has met a Perer Jones? He was from LA, working at Ankara with a contract at ExxonMobil, he had traveled a lot because of business and this was the reason his wife has cheated him. We were speaking and knowing each other 5 weeks aprox. Was slowly the way he was trying to make me feel in love. First he ask for support and money when one container of chemicals was stopped by customs authorities, as I didn’t send anything, he was on the same romantic mood. Two weeks later he asked for money for his daughter, 400 usd. He rejected me saying that love is two side, I asked him to stop asking me for money. He stop writing. Then he was in bed because an explosion of his work. He was angry when I told him that was surprised he stopped writing me, and broke his promises jajajaja. Blocked at WhatsApp, has photos of his passport. I feel a little angry with this, maybe I needed to face him and tell, you’re a scammer!

I was talking to someone he said he was currently deployed in Turkey in 5 months now.He sends quotes & said he loves me & cant live without me. Lol. And Funny, he said that he needed $5000 dollars to come to me & he only paid half of it & still needs the other $2500. I know that he's a scam, but I want to ask how to trace them. The pictures that he used & sent was too many. He cant even send present ones lol. I just knew it! He cant even do a videocall Lol. So many alibis. I just pity the real owner of the pictures that they are using & maybe also stealing the identity. Just Dont Send Money!

I have him only line know Name, where his is from Age 23

Hi there, My sister, who now isn't speaking to me as I said this sounds like a scam and warned her against sending any money, messaged me with the following, would appreciate it if this indeed sounds like a scam and if anyone has had similar experiences- Is there any chance that you can try and get a loan through your bank to help me out. You will get the money back next week. This is gonna be a long story and you won’t even believe it But it’s true. I have met someone a while ago now and he is a pipeline engineer. Anyway he went for a job worth a lot of money in Malaysia he had to do a lot of presentations and finally got an interview we were both praying for him to get an interview so weeks went and then he told me he had got an interview for the work. It was my birthday that he had his first interview they got him a private jet then he had about two more interviews and got the job on the 8th June he was given two weeks to do it. Supposed to be complete on Monday. So he has been working and he messaged me and said I’m thinking I need to order some equipment so I’ve said order it then so you do t get delayed he’s ordered it and it took a few days to arrive so he’s gone to pick it up from customs and he thought he would have enough. He said 50,000 dollars they turned round and said he needs to pay for some excise about the virus. So he was short 20,000 he borrowed 16,000 from his lawyer in America Dollars and he needs 4,000 which is about £3700 in English pounds probably more it’s gone up 600 dollars because he didn’t have the money to pick it up. I’ve tried to get a loan can’t get one. Got nobody to ask. He’s got nobody to ask. He’s got no family just him and a daughter whose with a nanny. He said I can’t believe this and knowing how much I spent for the equipment he sent me the reciept nearly a million dollars for the equipment. He’s been messaging me saying that his reputation is gonna be ruined and he can’t face his workers and I’ve been literally in bits all week thinking I don’t know what to do. He got the contract and now he’s even saying things like he feels like dying and there’s no point he took ages to reply to me I thought he was dead I don’t even know if he’s ok now as it’s 7 hours in front of UK time . He said he will get the money for completing on Monday as that’s the deadline. I’ve thought of so many things he can do and he said he can’t he said the people at customs were being really awkward.

Widowed and daughter attending school to be a pilot in Germany. Then on to Dubai and this great investment deal closed, supposedly part in my name.

He has a passport under this name and states born in Denver, Colorado even though says he was born in Germany. Am sure he lives in London as made him send me a picture of himself holding todays newspaper. Good looking, tall with grey hair. Has a ton of pictures of himself and short videos. Met him on Mate 1. He is the best Scammer I have ever come across. He is intelligent and writes extremely well. Is posted on Linkrdin (means nothing). He is the person in his photos. He has called a lot. Lives the high life scamming women.

I’m so glad I researched this guy supposedly named Mike Glover, a Special Operations Commander, Gun Fighter in the military. We met on Hinge dating app. Day 1 of chatting, he immediately asked for us to move our conversation to the What’s App due to his type of job’s private security. I thought that was strange but I did what he asked. Day 2 I asked many questions for one why wouldn’t talk on the phone and he quickly said with anger he couldn’t call or video because he was on the base in North Dakota. Long story short, after one more day of him confessing his “true love” for me, of course that’s a red flag for me I started researching... He told me his name was Mike Anthony Glover. So I googled and find out that there is a Mike Glover who is a gunfighter, sniper/ CIA aka Mr. Bad Ass. The photos from dating site matchEd the photos of this Mike Glover guy. So I searched his social media pages and found over 20 fake profiles of this guy plus his official page. I also listenEd to the real Mike Glover videos and everything. I was like either this is the real Mike or someone who is obsessed with this guy’s life. He is half Asian and White. He is a very attractive man. But the guy I’ve been chatting with and this Mike story wasn’t adding up to me. So I confronted him about it and shocking, he said yes that is my official profile but the others pages are fake. Like this dude actually believes he is “Mike Glover”. After giving him all the evidence that he was lying, he stopped responding. I even reached out to the real Mike Glover to confirm that the guy I’ve been chatting with for the past few days was indeed a FAKE. I also reported all of the 20 plus fake profile on Instagram and on What’s up app. So thankful I trusted my guts earlier on. I still can’t believe people really do this to people smh. Please be careful, if it feels too good to be true then most likely it is. Also speak up, because I’m sure they are doing it to so many other people. I wanted to share my experience to help someone who maybe also talking to this guy now or run into the fake Mike Glover.

anyone talking to a handsome ssgt in the marines stationed in africa asking for amazon cards named Daniel King???

Unbelievable! I've been talking to him for a couple of days. He now goes by Jordan Josiah Medina. He told me his sons birthday was on the 28th and he wanted me to send him a $50 steamcard. I also met him on hinge the number 210-907-3981.

Possed as military in Yemen.seems to be true and saying that he is related interested.had a child named Joan that lives without the nanny in Florida .Been asking for an ebay gift card and said not able to do video chat because he can be court marshaloed or get fired..

I have been talking to someone by the names of James. He has done video calls with me and matches his pictures. Handsome muscular man with tattoos on chest and shoulders. He says he is out of food for his meal delivery service and is asking for over 2000 so he can eat. I keep saying no and he professes his love for me and says I need to trust him that he will pay me back. He says he can’t access his bank information because he has already reached his bank limit of withdrawals till September. I also received a picture of his ID which they are not suppose to send but he did it to establish trust.

Any body heard from Richard Lester? Civil Engineering working i. Turkey right now, he needs money to pay for an acvodent

Jerry Mason is his name. Lives in South Carolina, contracting in berlin germany, wife died in gas explosion and 15 year old daughter lives with nanny and so on..... After a week, he been laying on thick how much he loved me, and how attached to me emotionally he is and he can't wait til his contract is up in three months, but his camera needs an Itunes gift card to work. I told him that you do NOT need a gift card to get your camera working. After he asked me all of this, I said is this a scammer, he said I was talking nonsense, but I have not heard from him since. Nice looking photo of whomever it was he took. All the signs that I just read about is exactly what I saw in him. I'm not one to give money away to strangers over chat sessions or online. And the give away was take a picture of it and send it to him. I said you have access to your funds, my brother was in the military. Got the wrong one! Watchman watching youuuuuu. it was amusing for a few days. I figured he was already working on someone else.
