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

Mine is Adam Lucas Bram; an oil engineer working in the arabian sea right now. Supposed to be coming back to Boston this coming weekend. Had an explosion on his platform which broke an integral piece of equipment and just asked me for $45k. We've been texting and talking for about a month and a half now. Super handsome and have lots of sexting and phone sex...

in two months I almost had been scammed by two men, who claimed they are Malaysian n Singaporean. both said they were civil engineer. the Malaysian live in London n the Singapore lived in NY. They confessed their love quickly to me and wanted to marry me. Later on the Malaysian said he was going to work in a construction work project in Turkey, under UN program n wanted to borrow my money to buy some materials, because he said the place was so remote n didn't have good internet access. the Singaporean trick was almost the same, but it was located in Gaza. He wanted me to log in his account and asked me to transfer some money to the hotel he lives and to some people. I didn't want it n they were so mad.

I've just had the same. Has a daughter named Sarah I have a photo.

Anyone dealing with a guy that goes by WILLIAM THOMAS in the Caspian Sea?

Hi all. I’ve had a few characters recently. One named Seth Ortiz, a civil engineer in trouble in Nigeria. Thomas Adams, an oil rig contractor in New Orleans recently awarded a contract with Mobile Drill International. Staff Sgt Thomas Metcalf , US Army in Arkansas in love with me just by seeing my picture, Mark Ayers in army in Turkey about to retire and come build a new life with me. I did fall victim to one of these, but hard lesson learned. It’s made me skeptical about the rest, so I guess the lesson has helped.

I think my sister-in-law is being scammed by someone calling himself William Miller Folk-Mari. He actually meet with her a few times and is now in South Africa and can’t leave the country until his job is done BUT He got his computer and phone stolen which looked him out of his bank accounts (ya right) he’s a contractor on a 7 million dollar job but has asked her for money, she won’t tell me how much and says she has transferred money that someone else had given her (money laundering I suspect). Because she’s meet him she doesn’t believe it’s a scam. He showed her his bank statements and he has 2 million. Now why would he feel the need to show her his bank statement? He’s a pretty good looking guy and she’s not attractive and is overweight. I’ve not had much luck searching online. I have a picture

Anyone familiar with a guy called Nelson/Nelson-army

Has anyone heard from a guy named Eric Morgan? Very good looking lots of tattoos. Construction engineer from Florida and a real estate investor. Has 2 kids Kye and Shay. I'll never send money or buy cards or give out personal information but I have talked to this guy for over a year. The only thing that's gets me is is heavy accent. If he is a scammer it won't break my heart.. lol I will be your friend if you need one but I'm just curious if anyone has heard of him. I've actually seen a couple post where it said he had fake profiles. If he is fake then I can really put him in his place and I will. If he just needs a friend then I don't want to be mean. And just to let everyone know..Do not give out personal information, Do not send money in any form, shape or way.. If anyone ask for money, apple cards, steam cards etc.. Then it is a scammer!

My boyfriend gets messages and calls from a website called nearby crush. Is there anyway that he didn’t sign up for this because he said he didn’t.

It is so hard to know if they are a scammer or not. I have a guy that is in love with me too quick. is an Investigative Journalist but not with a particular group. He lost his phone running for his life and wants me to send him a new one. He says he is "in a military Lahij Governorate, Yemen. and wants me to send the phone to Belgium where this person at the orphanage can get him a package. It just does not make sense to me. He is not able to access his own money bucause of where he is. I think it is a scam can someone else confirm this. I also would feel really bad if it is not. He is not asking for money. Help? Confused

I saw a comment from a 2015 post, about a female talking to a man supposedly named Carl Breigner, from the Netherlands. Small world. Me too. He scamned me for quite a bit, starting in 2017, and I let him do it for a year. Beware! He's back on facebook luring in more victims. He's very convincing. He told me that his wife got involved with drugs and started sleeping with his friends, hence, the divorce. He said his wife went back to Mexico, with the dog, and he got custody of their 1 daughter. She's supposedly in boarding school. After talking to this man many many times, he sounds Nigerian. He wouldn't show me his face.

Guys ever heard a man with name Philip Kim?? He said from Cincinnati, He is US Army, His wife died because cancer, He has a daughter and his daughter on boarding school. He still in Yemen and next month will be back to USA, He sent me a box the content of the box are gold medal, money $ 25,000. But he ask me to pay first airport clearance and tag then he will pay back after I received the box. Because I don't have money to paid then he threatened me. Can this be suspected of being a scammer?

I think I might be getting scammed. I had a message on MeWe from some guy named Bill Shayne said he liked my mail in my profile picture. I am on that social media site often. He asked me if I had WhatsApp and I said yes. We switched over to there. He is a widower from Windsor Canada. Has 2 daughters name Jasmine and Ava ages 9 &7. He is a TIG welder working and currently working as an airplane maintenance engineer and has done some underwater welding in the past. He is originally from Ankara turkey his mother died when he was younger and moved to Canada after his father passed away because his uncles were fighting over money after his dads death . He has not asked me for any money or any gift cards No elaborate story that he’s going out of the country in business. Says he wants to get to know me better. He talks of taking his girls out to dinner and when I ask him where he responds working 2 minutes. I look up the restaurant to see if it’s in Windsor and the ones he’s given me they are. He calls me sweetheart most of the time. I don’t give him too much information about me and stay somewhat vague in some of my responses. I started feeling something wasn’t quite right when I asked him where his profile picture was taken as it looked professionally fine. He said he had some studio pictures done for his social media account which I thought was weird. When Facebook went done this past week I said I had a google chats account and to send me his email and I could add him. He did but had a different last name and when I questioned it he said it was his Turkish last name the name he gave me was Bill Hamme ( said his Turkish first name was Emin). So I decided to do some investigating about him. I can’t find anything on the internet regarding a person using the story he gave me or with that name. I tried do a reverse photo search on special catfish site but nothing there either. I did some more digging and finally found a picture that matched his profile picture and it was from a person in Belgium (I think that’s the country) who is a tv/radio person. I looked up more about him and found his Facebook page and all the pictures but 4 that this ”Bill Shayne” sent me are on this guys Facebook. Im a fairly intelligent person but even the most intelligent people can be duped. Please let me know that my suspicions are accurate or not.

I have a question, do love scammers keep the same telephone number but change their picture?

I am talking to a guy called Dr Michael Anderson from London. I get the feeling he is not for real, anybody else talking to him He stated that he is a plastic surgeon in London

If anyone is chatting with a man claiming to be a 59 year old pilot for Kuwait Airlines, 9 year old son- James. Wife died giving birth to son. His son, Nanny and Lucas Benjamin Williams (the pilot) currently living in Brooklyn, NY. Whatsapp number is: 262-885-7688. Today, he claims to be in Kuwait with a month long contract. In the past few weeks, he claims to have traveled to Germany, Greece, Brazil, Malaysia. As of today, he is claiming to be in Kuwait and wanted me to order and send him a new I phone 13 pro- saying he would pay for it. Actually asked me to send him a picture of the front of my credit card. Unbelievable !!! Of course, I did not send. He said his son, James (a 9 year old, back in Brooklyn NY)) would put the money on my card. How can people like this sleep at night??? If you recognize any of this info, let's talk.

Has anyone face chatted with someone all the time, daily, straight phone calls, WhatsApp phone calls, etc. And then all of a sudden they are so in love after 5 months? It seems so genuine because of the daily chats and routines, it's like you see what they are doing on the regular. But then it comes..."Will you go pick up this money gram or western union and send it to me?" Several times, then the senders names change. All of a sudden, they are ordering things to your house under different names. When you call the WU senders, you find out they were scammed out of some money. Then your romance person swears they didn't know, it was their friend who they were trying to help out. Just be on the lookout!

Hi everyone. Unfortunately I have a similar story as well.An attractive guy who is around 47 with green eyes and so handsome ( named Eddie )texted me on Instagram .for the first time I trusted one person who told me fell in love with me. After a couple of days he requested for marriage and I believed since he said he will come to visit me asap.he told he is an architect in California and won a great contract and has to go to Yemen for doing his project. After a lot of romantic words for( about 45 days )he told he in in so bad situation and need a help and sent me his list that he had to pay for duties fee and need $300000. He said his friend from California helped him by 250 and another friend also and asked me to help every amount till 25. I felt in love with this person deeply and trusted him .I tried to calculate money for him ,however I was in bad condition and didn't have money and told him that I wanted to lend money for helping him from my friends but he didn't believe. In the last moment I wanted to send even the only money that I could calculate by selling my jewelry but I couldn't sell it .one of My friend several times said he is not right person and it is a fruad, but I didn't accept. I didn't want to accept he wanted to hurt me and break my heart. He told after that project he decided to be retire and make a nice famiy with me .he showed me his son Andy also said he is so rich and can come to Canada for living with me .I was over the moon because I believed and never accepted my friend ' advice. The last trying for helping him also wasn't successful and when I cried a lot and said him I couldn't calculate money just$ 2000 ‌I wanted to send him with bitcoin but I couldn't calculate , he was so angry and said me you played with me and with my emotions and I can't trust you anymore and left me forever. He broke my heart so hard ,because I believed his story and never had any doubt in his love. We had a lot of call even video call with together also sent some video for me and never thought he will hurt my heart at all .I was crying for 48 hours even liked to die and just wanted to say others since maybe he decided to do it again. I was not a stupid woman. I just had a big and honest heart that now it is broken and never trust any person in social media.
