It is so heartbreaking that these men prey on your emotions. I am a female over 60 years old. I got this guy interested in me from IG finally engaged in conversation. He lives in the states foreigner accent has a son jailed needed money for his bills? $1500 to be exact. He then said his phone wasn't working died several times so I did buy him a new Samsung $630,00. He then wanted an Amazon card for a contract he was bidding on for $100,00 dollars I got that for him as well. Now I am through with giving this dude money. How foolish of me to think he was legit. He said due to the virus he was going to wait to meet me asked me for my home address. It's so disappointing that these men think that we can just pull money out of our pockets and or savings to support their requests. I am sick. He contacts me by cell phone and hangouts.

I have been communicating with a guy named Frank Zhang Wang through Instagram and WhatsApp. He told me that he got me a parcel and I have to pay $2000 for receiver charges. He was frustrated and reluctant about me paying for the fee. I think he's a scammer but he denies it.

They are scammers IG men twice both Army both suffered deaths in the family wanted gift cards . Showed me their bank accounts couldn’t touch the money both in Egypt sent several pictures in uniform. Start talking on IG move quickly to Hangouts and Whatspp. I deleted both apps. And blocked them it’s sad how can you Love me after 3 days one guy last name Lockett the other Montalvo BEWARE, BEWARE GOOD LOOKING AND PERSISTENT ASKING EVERY DAY FOR MONEY FOR FOOD BUT ACCOUNT HAS 1.9 million BS all day Catfish at its finest.

My friend has a high ranking officer stationed in Afghanistan named Calvin. He claims he is 59 but looks a lot younger. He has a man called “The General “ who gets my friend to send money to different accounts, etc, all the usual stuff I read here. It’s like good cop/bad cop. When she encounters problems with sending the money (the last time is was $2K to Turkey) the General got abusive toward her, then Calvin apologizes. Calvin calls her his wife although she has never met him. The photo she showed me of him was a very handsome white man with a handsome young man behind him in the photo. He says this is his “son” who is in boarding school. The young man looks too old to be a high schooler. Naturally the wife died in a car crash. He has anywhere from 2 to 10 million dollars that the army has frozen. She tells me she has given $150k trying to pay into a retirement plan for him, does this sound familiar to anyone? Does this man’s story sound familiar? It’s sad because when her brother tells her she is being scammed she hangs up on her brother. I’ve only known her for a few months and I figure why claim he’s a scammer because she’ll probably stop talking to me too. She’s 67, I hate to see her get scammed but it almost seems like she prefers to live in this dreamland rather than face reality. Anyone else being scammed by a “Calvin”?

Has anyone been scammed where the guy says he is in the military and sends you money at first, quite a good sum. Have been talking to him and he said he wants me to have the money. Been waiting for a long time to meet him but doesn’t seem possible.

in advance i would like to apologize for my bad english. I hope you can understand me anyway. I fell for one of these guys I would like to briefly tell you how it came about and why I ended up here. I was contacted by a Robert Johnson on Instagram. An independent engineer who builds chemical laboratories. His supposed address is San Francisco, CA 94124 United States. It came as it had to come, then it became "more". He had to go to an oil rig in Turkey in June. After the project was over, he wanted to visit me. We wanted to meet in Hamburg because his son lives there. But nothing came of it. Arrived on the oil rig, his account was blocked after a failed transfer. He had no money with him and needed 3500 euros for the flight. Of course I transferred the money. Stupid as I was. To a German account, which is probably why I haven't been taken aback. My savings, it was gone! But stupidity must be punished. But that's not all, because his passport had been taken from him and is not being returned. What now? A power of attorney for a lawyer will do that. Costs 0.02% of the existing bank balance. Well, that would be 25,000 euros. I didn't have that much money! I should apply for a loan. Unthinkable for me. I then conveyed it to him and said that I did not have this money. Although I have to mention that I would never have transferred this amount to him, because that's when I started to doubt. So he would be arrested and charged with breaking the contract. I was really bad now! His photos and messages did the rest for me So what to do? I got advice from a lawyer. It cost money, but I didn't want this man to go to jail. The lawyer's answer was sobering. It is most likely a scam, because all the bank details and links I got would be fake profiles After a week of radio silence, I received the message that he was being held on the site of the oil rig and that he did not have to go to prison. Nevertheless, he needs the money to get his account because he has to finish his work there and is not left out beforehand. I informed him that a loan is a lengthy process in my case and he still has to be patient, I wanted to hold him out a bit. To date, I have succeeded. Then my collar burst and I wrote to him that I couldn't trust him. Suddenly his lyrics became clearer and he insulted me. I knocked out everything I could find out about him. Now there is radio silence. Too bad, because the man in the pictures was already hot ..., would like to tell him what his pictures are used for.

Anyone had an encounter with a William Olivia Hudson?

Hi everybody. I have been chatting, with a guy who claims to be a Navy Doctor from New York his name is Solomon Conner. He says his wife die 4 years ago and he says he is in Kuwait. His birthday was on Junr 27 and he asked for a Steamgift card I bought a $ 50 one the reason he says was because he needs that to video chat and proof to me that he is not a scammer due that I questioned him when he said that he needed it a giftcard . Now he said that he was granted permission for a video chat but he needs a $ 200 Steam card . Now I am really sure that this Solomon Conner is a scammer due to the fact that he just keep asking for Steamcard and Steam card is only use for video games! Please anyone knows or heard about this guy named Solomon Conner? Navy General Surgeon from New York?

Call to the ladies....can anyone produce a picture. I'm dealing with a widow with a child who says he is a doctor with the united nations and he had a problem getting paid 800k from a job in Afghanistan because of the war. Now they are paying him but in cash and it needs to be sent to someone he can trust..etc. I have a few pics of him on whatsapp and only video chatted with him once, very briefly. He had to go to Yemen shortly after we met and after 3 weeks of regular chatting he finally laid this all on me. A person posing as a soldier also widowed, tried the same thing on me last year and disappeared when I mentioned that there's a scam going around.

Anyone out there beware of a Mills Brown Dunbar or Mills Dunbar 52 years old. This scammer contacted me on Pinterest. He claims to be from Louisville Kentucky working with TransOcean in Canada as an ER physician. He says he grew up in Germany and moved to the USA when he was 32 years old. Says he is a widower and his wife died of breast cancer. Says he has a 18 year son in the USA and a nanny is taking care of him. This guy promised me the sun and the moon. I gave nothing to him, so I lost nothing but time and energy. He got caught because I used google images and found out he was using a very wealthy orthopedic surgeon pictures. He took the pictures from this doctor's social media posts. This doctor is very good looking so anyone out there be safe and use google images to look up prospect online lovers.

I have been chatting with a guy named Michael Mixon. Started on IG than he wanted to switch to hangouts because it took to much data. Says he’s a marine deployed in turkey. Anyone else heard of this guy?

Nearly 5 months, I was chatting to marine corps Sgt, 44yr old. It was a rushed romantic kind. He speaks very smoothly. He has a daughter who is in military family home. He only asked for gift cards so he can chat with me. He showed me pictures of his work. I was fascinated by him. It felt real. The sweet chats of promising love, him retiring and coming home to marry me. It felt like we were dating for a year.When he asked for money, I have my doubts. (Someone fr the military said, He's overseas and he has access to his currencies. It can be a fraud.)I continued to chat with him and left him dry at the end. And yes, it was heartbreaking and I have a story to tell to inspire others. Last name Davis.

Asked for my full name and dob, saying he is going to send me something. Then asked for his bday gift which is conveniently this week, for two $100 iTunes cards to scratch the code off and take a pic and send to him. Said this is how we can continue to video chat and text. Is this a scam?

I think I am being scammed right now. This guy is a Surgeon from New York working in Afghanistan for the United Nations. His wife died, no parents living, and a 6 yr old son in a boarding school while he's out of the country. He contacted me on IG about 10 days ago. Already saying that he "loves me so much" and wants to marry me. He's 47 yrs old and never asked for my age until I asked him. He doesn't care that I'm 18 yrs older than him. He said age is just a number and its what's in his heart that matters. His IG profile shows about 6 pictures of him in scrubs or a white coat. He's very handsome. I uploaded one of the pictures on Google Image Search and it came up as a doctor in Brazil. I sent him the picture with a different name and asked him who it was? I said it was his picture with a different name but in Brazil not Afganistan. His response was that due to security reasons, they have to create different names for themselves. He goes by Robert. Everything was OK until I got a message from him this morning asking for a $100 gift card because his internet is about to expire. He had told me he plans on retiring when he gets back to the US in 3 months. I asked him what he planned on doing for income and he said, "Oh, don't worry about that baby. I have plenty of money for us for the next 5 generations ". I read that and just laughed to myself. I don't believe any Surgeon would give up their career at such a young age. So...when he asked for the gift card, I asked him what happened with his money since he had so much. His response is that he doesn't have access to it while overseas. Does any of this sound familiar to any of you???

I don't know if people still post on here or not. I have been sending money to a soldier in "Afghanistan" who says he lost his weapon and he will be jailed or killed if I don't send money. His "commander" has threatened me, too. I've been told this man has taken women out of the US and turned them over to the Afghanees. I'm getting out but I am scared.

I have been dealing with someone and he did face time me but I could not hear our conversation before he claimed he was on assignment in Syria. In the beginning he asked me for Steam cards and I provided them for him as he needed them to talk on his device. I really got suckered into this online scam as he claim that he was on an undisclosed mission and during the mission, they found $28.6 million dollars and he deposited in a vault at a company called Zerik Securities. He said he had to get the box out of the country and deposited as a military box with undisclosed contents and he wanted to send the box to me. So I contacted the company and they advised me that I needed a change of ownership at a cost of $17,978 which I found a way to send to the supposed attorney that they recommended. I am ashamed to say I can't believe that I did it. Then after the certificate of ownership was changed, they company told me that they needed an additional $36,250 that needed to be paid to the Dept. of the interior for the release of the box. My eyes opened and when he tried to get me to send the money, I told him I did not have this type of money and he become nasty as some point. Is there anyway for me to find out if this was an actual transaction or was I really blind and thought I had fallen in love.

Anybody been scammed by a Jason Orlando Clark?
