Wow. Exact same scenario as many of you David Barkley. Says he is a petroleum engineer with KCDeutag . He is working offshore in the North Sea. 54 years old, wife died, Sophia the daughter is in a boarding school in Canada. He did not ask me directly for money. And she charmed me a whole lot. Saying how much he wanted to be with me. I could not find his photos in reverse images google .He is a handsome man with a beard and brown hair He did have a linkedin profile. And we talked I immediately noticed strange accent that did not go with the English and American. But he gave me a reasonable explanation. I became more invested. He asked me for a game card. He said that this is his way of relieving stress after work. And because he is offshore he cannot receive it so I would send a photo of the scratch off numbers on the back. After much hesitation and questioning I did buy him $100 Steam card. I asked him for proof Of his address in California. And he gave me at. I took half a day off from work and drove all the way there to find that there was no such Then it gets weirder. He said he wanted me to help him exchange bitcoin currency and he would pay me for it. He said his account manager would be emailing me. And Indeed he did - asking for my username, password, account number. I freaked out on him and called him every name in the book. It was the beginning of the end. I called him a scammer and said told him that I had notified all dating site about him. I would love to know if anyone else had corresponded with David Barkley The accent sound like African to me

My Civil Engineer is Mike...yet I can't locate his company or his license. His wife died 8 years ago in a horrific car wreck...yet no search has turned up any such person. Was doing his last job on a oil platform in Canada when there was an explosion so now he needs money to buy equipment to finish the job. I haven't sent any...thank goodness...anyone else have this scenario?

I have been contacted by the man named Victor Wesley he is on FB and Hangout. He profess to have a lot of money. His FB profile says he is a branch Manger for Shell in London. He lives in London, and he is from Netherlands. His English is very poor. As we started talking, about 3 months later he said He is going to Malaysia for an Oil Rig project, one day he called me and said he is short of money because his machine stop working. He is manipulative and kept insisting me to send him money, I was stupid enough to send him money but gladly WesternUnion canceled my transaction because there is a lot of scams in Malaysia. I am worried because he has a ton of women that he is following on FB and someone will be victim like me, except I was fortunate not to loose my hard earned money.

Hi got contacted by what seemed to be a genuine young woman looking for love. Within a week of talking she began professing her love for me. Strange, but I ran with it but with one eye open. Said she was half American and half Ghanaian , and living in Accra. The living in Ghana seemed true as she was able to tell me all about the country> However every now and then she would slip, by forgetting what she had told me. I was just waiting for the sting and after 10 days, it came. Asked me whether I truly loved her. 'Yes, of course I did ' was my reply. Then she told the story, could not renew her wifi and could I help her, so I asked how much, she hesitated before saying it would be £441. I just laughed. 'You must really think that I am a fool' and that was that , she was rumbled or was it a he, who knows? Anyway if an Angie Williams contacts you guys beware its a scam. I almost got caught, so be aware. No one gives you something for nothing. Its human nature.

I have 2 questions. Has anyone heard of scam using military personna asking for money to pay the Diplomat for services provided while in Afghanistan? And an orthopedic surgeon serving in Yemen under contract to UN claims he works for Global Med goes by the bane Peterson Foster

Greetings, I was a victim in 2004. And from that last time I then realized the method in which they come to you. This site has identified the exact symptoms of how they operate. Always has sad stories to let you feel empathy and overwhelmed. Technology gives us the tool, photo of different settings of home, work, church, and watts app or messenger has video calls that should be persistent and personal to the one we find interest in. Let’s all keep this modest in the name of Jesus.

Has anyone had an inheritance scam? The guy finds out he has an inheritance and sends most of the tax fees but needs help with the rest? He's already established how he loves you.

I wrote a very long comment and it is NOT showing up. Beware of David Barkley on Ok Cupid or other dating sites. There is a person using ‎WhatsApp that I corresponded with for two months And he is trying to scam me out of money. This is a common issue . Consumer Reports has an article stating that hundreds of women are being scanned through WhatsApp and hang out. With very similar stories. I’m happy to supply all of this information as well as provide screenshots of our conversations. This person reached out to me on OK Cupid and moved our conversation to WhatsApp. I would like him to be reported immediately and Block from being able to do this again- David Barkley 573 615 2280. typical story! oil rig engineer, widowed, daughter in boarding school. 2 months of my life WASTED

The guy found me on FB. We talked for little while . Everything was going great . Long love emails and texts . Called me his Queen. Always wanted use Google Hangout. Stated he was on oil rig .

Needed a part ordered and when I told him the bank said needed COT Code he said ask how much it is for and you pay it and I pay you back when I get to SC , or set up you account baby , and take how much ever my new wifey wants. The acct had over $50 million in it too. I seen side to him that was starting get unstable . Takes about money all time , played on my emotions , and tore me down if I didn’t try do as he asked. I broke thinks off and deleted hangout and he sent me email to another email acct and was begging me take him back. The was most verbally abuse person I met . He showed me tons pics of him with nice car collection and beautiful home in SC . He was divorced of 2 years and had a daughter 29 that married lives in Kansas with her hubby and child . Then , he started wanting a new phone and wanted my login info / eBay cards / we went from $27999 to $500. He actually had the nerve say was a Catfish!

Please beware he may not even be the person in the photos on Google Hangout he sure doesn’t sound like he Portuguese. He hates when women stabs up for themselves too. He met his match with me though . He running big COT Scam beware .

I’m chatting to this guy on hangouts now for a month. Says he loves me. His name is James Miller Seacrest. Or maybe Robin Gatti. From Birmingham with another house in San Diego. 12 year old daughter at boarding school. Divorced wife 5 years ago. She used drugs and cheated with his best friend. He’s on a off shore oil rig in Yemen. Won’t get back for another 2 months. Hasn’t asked for money so far. Tells me to trust him. I really want to but my head tells me no.

Has anyone encountered Dennis Fred. His story is similar to what you have experienced. He’s a surgeon in Afghanistan, wife died in car accident, kid in boarding school. Asked for Steam cards, then asked for $800.00 for kids tuition. Oh and then wanted to use my AT&T account to get a new phone. He gets an attitude when told no, then goes back to being charming. Now, he’s trying to get me to do bitcoins. I only sent steam cards. The only reason I still talk to him is because I tell him to do the right thing and send back my money I spent on cards. I’m surprised he hasn’t blocked me yet but I do tell him if he just gives me money back I will stop bugging him. Be careful ladies. Whoever pictures he’s sending, that guy is very handsome I will continue to ask him to return my money until he eventually blocks me.

Same here. Two actually through Internations website. Same story

Anyone been approached by attractive guy with filtered pics on Taste Buds?

I have talked to several men on Words With Friends then they want you to go to Hangout. They profess their love for you almost immediately. The first one I started talking to said his name is Jamie Dean. We chat on Messenger. His pump broke on his oil rig in Louisiana and he needs money to fix it. Over $5000 he wants. We had talked for a long time before this. The first thing he wanted was a gift card sent to his daughter who was in boarding school for her birthday. I sent an Amazon gift card. He gave me her email address so she and I could communicate. We did a few times. Her name was Renay, 14 years old. He sent me pictures of himself and pictures of the both of them. He is very handsome. Then when I couldn't send him the money he stopped chatting. then after New Year's he text me on Messenger, but I didn't answer him for a few weeks. Then when I did he sent me pictures of himself in a hospital. He had been in an explosion on the rig with his pump. Now he needs money to pay his hospital bills and for meds. I have sent him nothing. His facebook page says he is from Hungary. I told him I don't have it and he basically said goodbye. If I couldn't send him the money it meant that I didn't love him. I knew he was a scammer and I have just enjoyed the ride. LOL Others have asked for money too and I tell them I don't have it and they beg but I don't have it. It's either a card for their child or a card to keep their phone data so we can continue to chat. They want iTunes gift cards for data to text. They think you are stupid. iTunes gift cards are only for music and games. I am just having so much fun. They beg, I laugh. then, there is Dr. Jeinoverz Scott, who grew up and went to medical school in Guadalajara, Mexico and finished his medical schooling at Harvard. He now works as an orthopedic surgeon at UCLA, who has a son named Dennis who he wants to be my son and me his mother. Sent him a $25 gift card for his birthday. Then he was called to Germany to work for the UN for two weeks. Well...when he got there he called and said he had been robbed and beaten up and they had taken everything. His bank card, his ID, his passport, and his suitcase with his clothes. He wanted me to send him App store cards so he could sell them for money to get clothes. I told him I didn't have the money, but after I got paid I sent a $100 gift card. He was happy about that, but of course he wanted more. I kept telling him I didn't have it, so he started talking to some other woman on WWF and got her to send him the money so he could come back home after the two weeks were up. She supposedly sent him the money, but he had to go to her in New York City. He sent me pics of him and a woman he said was her and she was rich like him. She demanded he have sex with her and he wouldn't (so he said) and she kicked him out and he is still stuck in new York because his bank account is frozen because the robbers got his bank card. He wants me to send him bitcoin so he can access his account his bank account. It's so crazy!! I told him to go to a branch of his bank there and get everything straightened out. He said they want documents that he doesn't have with him. I have told him he could have hitchhiked home by now if he wanted to see his son so badly and get back home. I have been texting with him today and he is waiting for me to put some kind of app on my phone and to create a new email address and give it to him along with the password I set up with it. Then I found this website and read many of the stories on here and he is still waiting for me to text him with the info. While he was still in Germany he wanted my bank account information so the UN could send his check to my bank account because his was frozen. I did not give it to him. I am not going to create a new email. He calls me wicked, heartless, and stingy. I just laugh. I talked to him on the phone on hangout for the first time today. For someone who is Mexican, he has the most British accent I have ever heard. LOL There have been a few more but htey didn't last long.

Hi everyone. I have been talking to a Jerry Hans (sometimes Jerry Hanns) for some time. Engineer, divorced with 1 son, really good looking 60 ish guy. He needed some money so eventually I send him ITunes, he was so great full. Every was good for a while then he said he was stuck in Turkey and needs to get home so I said to him I haven’t any money so he cooled off a bit. Still in contact with him but not so much now but he still asking for money (which I aren’t gonna a send) I am nit a total fool and realised he was scammer but I just couldn’t seem to break off contact. In the meantime I did a photo search and what a surprise I got! Not only Jerry Hans but loads of different names for example Peter Schiff - look at all the Peter Schiff accounts on Instagram, all with same photos. Check out peterschiff582 on Instagram!! I am braking off all contact and never again will I get involved. I think that Jerry Hans has had his account removed from IG probably someone reported him. Take care out there folks

He fell in love with me so fast, me too as he seemed the nicest guy, texting me every morning, I’m so confused if he is really a scammer as he agreed video calling a few times. He has since come off fb, he said he can’t be on social media due to his job. His wife died while giving birth to their now 14 year old son who’s in boarding school in France. This guy has now been send on a mission in Yemen, he has asked me to write an email to army general asking for him to be released, as he’s worried he might not make it as soldiers are dying there. The general then asks for about $2000 From me for application of his release. Gary’s is bank account has been blocked since his is in war. I told Gary l don’t have the money, but he’s been putting pressure on me saying do l want him to die there? Please help me, does anyone recognise this name. I have confronted him about his genuineness, since he asked me for money twice, another time was to transfer to his son in boarding school, since he was busy with work. he claims he is genuine and has send me his photos, wants us to get married but already calls me his wife.

Hi everybody, anyone knows a man who calls himself Robert Mark? A professional Diver working on cargo boat ?

I just had a situation with a man from Germany, but living in California. He sent me a message through Instagram. He said he was looking through profiles and came across mine. Said he could stop thinking about me. That I was beautiful and charming. Had me download Hangout to talk to him. He said he was a foot and ankle surgeon working for the US government, he even sent me a picture of his work ID. Said he has a 14 yr old so who goes to boarding school in London. For 2 wks he told me he is in love, that he wants to marry me. This past Wednesday he “went” to Syria For a work contract. Said he would message me when he gets there. I didn’t hear from him for almost a day. When he did message me he said he was attacked coming out of the airport and lost everything. Said he was messaging me from a desktop from the base. Then he asked me for money to help him get a passport and a ticket home. I told him I didn’t have any. He wanted me to ask my friends and family. Said he needed $750 total, but would take what I could give him. I honestly don’t have the money to give him. He got really mad at me saying if anything happens to him his blood is on my head. Told me god was going to punish me and that I’m going to hell. His name is Mark Jaironorena or do he says.

Does anyone know of a scammer by the name of Jason Welsh? He's trying to transfer me a large amount of money because he wants me to buy our house and start our lives together. He claims to be stationed in Damascus, Syria. Has an 11 year old at home and is being watched by a nanny because he's widowed. I won't give him my bank info. He seems to be getting really pushy but yet he loves and trusts me so much.

I think I may be victim of a romance scam. Our relationship is ticking all the boxes as a romance scammer. Have given him USD10000 so far. Different monetary emergency keep him from coming to shore and we have not video chatted. Says he will pay me back so I am still not sure . Works on ship in Mediterranean sea. Accent is Hispanic I think. This man calling himself Jason Robert Moore. Has any one heard of him?

Look I fell in love with few people online and they ask for gift cards $50 to $100 and invite if you are out for love you don't need the money that's the way it is if you're out from to find somebody you don't need money money doesn't make one person happy all it does is bring corruption dishonesty and deception you'll need it so that's what you need to fall in love with somebody is money then really you're not a real person how can I fake you while you still never will be a real person you're raised ends an animal if you're going to fall in love with somebody fall in love with them for who they are. For how much or how little they have I'm homeless if people try to take advantage of me everyday I thought for once ran to another state the person never showed up it was real but never showed up

So I met this guy some time ago from the area I live in and he has been nothing less than amazing to me and we share common interests. Well two days ago he said his bank card keeps declining and he can’t fix it until he’s back in the states. He says he is a engineer working for chevron. He asked me to buy an eBay card so he could pay his phone bill so we could stay in touch. When I got upset he apologized and said he didn’t want me to send it because he didn’t want to loose me. I want to believe him but everything in me says run. Am I being too suspicious?

Well I made the mistake of giving him my account info ( I actually opened up an account with a different bank to see what would happen) anyways he deposited 4 checks and they all came back NSF so basically I was out only $56 he didn’t get mad he said he didn’t understand why it happened so things were ok for awhile the he started asking for money so he could finish up his job so he could come home to me he told me he was having a business partner send me a check for $8000 I got the check the other day I told him I got it he said I was to do exactly what he says I’m to go deposit it into the atm and withdraw the money and send it to home I told him my bank won’t except anything over $5000 thru the atm he wouldn’t listen then after awhile he told me to go to the bank when I got off work and deposit the check and withdraw the funds I told him I was going to take a nap when I get off then I’ll head up to cash the check. I work 12 hour shifts at night and the bank is in Houston I live over 100 miles away from Houston well I didn’t chase the check never had any intentions of ever cashing the check and now he’s not talking to me. He called me a liar and I never loved him I’m still laughing about it.
