Has an online love interest asked you for money?

I'm finding all that he says hard to believe. I'm an executive asst. In business. I know things re business. Everything he says is contraire to what I read re offshore drilling rigs. He's been there so long he ran out of supplies for his 80 men. The rig isn't feeding them. Or giving them water he says

I’ve been chatting to a guy for a couple of months very convincing. But full on says he’s working in hati on a project but is having problems with shipping the tools to get the job finished. This is where it all get confusing, he sent me a link to his bank account saying he couldn’t access it and asked me to go into it and transfer money for equipment the account balance was $ 4 million . I did as he asked x 2 and the transaction was completed. He once again asked me to transfer some funds to Kay for shipping but on the last transaction the account was frozen. He is now asking me to lend him the $37000 dollars to help him unfreeze the account . I’ve told him no several times now and said I havnt got that kind on money. It appears very plausible because of the access he gave me to his bank accounts but my gut is telling me it’s a very elaborate scam!

His name is Peter Rowland, started that he was interested in getting to know me and basically wanted my email address so that we can communicate back before off the dating site because he didn't have time to be under all the time because of his job well he said that he was working in Michigan on a project as an engineer civil contractor builder and all of a sudden two weeks into the conversation he decides that his daughter needs emergency surgery he has to fly back home to Germany to sign paperwork to get the surgery done well low and be home he supposedly can't access his money because his ATM card's not working over in Germany so he contacted me and wanted me to go to bitcoins machine get money and send it to him so that he can supposedly pay his daughters hospital bill and get a ticket and fly back here to me well the Bitcoin people said that because I didn't know him I shouldn't send the money and they set me a link for the Federal trade commission I filled that out and I blocked him on my email and on my cell phone

Could someone has somebody , who now in South Africa, Cape Town?

If somebody knows the guy Craig Martinez, from LA?

I met a romance scammer on match named Daniel who talked me into going to hangouts. Profile said he was from my city and he claims to be a commodity trader in cocoa beans, which took him out of town as soon as we started liking each other -and the next logical move was to meet. I actually accused him of being a scammer with fake photos, and he is so good ( and/ or I am so gullible) he convinced me he might be the real deal. He travels luxury all the way, stays in the best hotels, claims to be widowed with a 22 year old daughter at Oxford. Was raised in Stockholm and moved to the midwest from Conneticut after his wife died. Speaks 3 languages and has an accent. He was working on the trade of a lifetime through a German trading company, that took him to Indonesia/ Bali....and suddenly is short $12500 for the import tax on the cocoa beans that he is buying (only has 47000 in his account)....that he needs urgently before Christmas so he can get home to see me and his daughter, (who I guess is magically able to get out of Britain during the recent pandemic travel ban). Said he'd pay me back.immediately with interest as soon as he gets home. Not giving him the money; and wish I had stayed my ground the first time I called him out on his scam....he really knows what to say to keep you hooked. Told me how embarrassed he is for asking, and he still wants me to pick him up at the airport when he gets home. HAH! Anyone else know this guy?

How do I upload a photo here? I'd like to share a guy who asked my friend to send him money. He has a fake account on Barclays and supposedly rich millionaire. Mel

My man says he's an independent contractor on an oil rig in the gulf... First asked for eBay card for credits for phone, then money for seabags to transport oil. Then more money for two men taken hostage! All in all just under 20,000. Wasn't happening for me.. Ladies, Google their phone numbers, look out for lots of handsome Germans on wwf, and they almost always have 2 first names as their full name. My guy, handsome blue eyed goatee and beard.. Was coming to my state to meet, before pirates attacked his ship and took two of his crew. His name, or what he calls himself is James Miller... Oh and we were going to get married also. Lots of men from Germany with last name Miller. If your going to talk to strangers online, never, never say you are widowed, they see insurance payout. Say you are single. Also never say what astrological sign your born under. They can search for your birthday. I feel fortunate I have good instincts.

Does anybody know Robert Miller from saint Paul Minnesota petroleum engineer keeps asking for money

Has anyone been contacted by Phillip William? He is a scammer for sure! He says he is 51, from San Francisco, CA, an Orthopedic surgeon working for the UN in Somalia, has a son, Harry - 16 years old and his wife is deceased from a car accident 5 years ago. He even sent me a pic of him next to her headstone - except her name was "Williams". He sent me a friend request on Facebook and I hesitantly accepted. Right away he insisted we go to Hangouts. The story is like most others:. fell in love with me after just a few days, can't live without me, wants to marry as soon as he returns to US, etc. He is constantly trying to prove that he is not a scammer, even did two very quick video chats ,using my name in them. He has now started asking for a $100 or $300 iTunes card to file medical reports for the UN. He gets upset when I tell him no and says that I don't care about him. So beware of him - he is very convincing and has an answer for every question! December, 2020 to January, 2021.

Anyone have contact with a 52 year old orthopedic surgeon who has a 13 yr old son in boarding school in Canada. Working overseas in Iran for NATO.

Benjamin Orton alleges he has custody of his son who is living with Benjamin Orton's nephew in New Zealand. Caught Ben Orton in a lie when he said he's a "military doctor". When I confronted him with he's a civilian doctor from New Zealand in Yemen, his answer was he's still on a contract as a doctor in Yemen.

Has anyone spoken with a Benjamin Orton? I was contacted by him in mid November, 2020. He friended me on Facebook. Allegedly, he is a civilian doctor from New Zealand who is working on a Yemeni military installation. He stated he has been "divorced" for 3 years & has a son who is living with his nephew in New Zealand. As we were chatting a bit, I caught him in a bit of a lie. Ben stated he is a military doctor. When I stated he said he was a civilian doctor, he kinda changed his tune & said that he is "on contract" as a civilian doctor from New Zealand.

I think I might be the victim of a scam....Have been video chatting--albeit short video chats--with a man for about a month now. He has checked out on Linkedin and some other searches, but now, some things just aren't adding up. He actually gave me his bank account info and last 4 of SSN. I still have the info, but he has not asked me to do any money laundering or anything. It is just my 'spidey senses are tingling'. His name is Diego Fransiciso. Says he lives in Orlando. Does underwater welding.

The problem is i feel for this guy usualy i know very fast if someone is a scamer but in that case i'm not sure. We are talking for 7 months now everyday.

Yes, ladies. This guy named Aleksi Churchill. You guys watch him. He asked for money and he calls me names if he don't get it. A widow and one daughter 13 yrs old in boarding school . No relatives. I have lots of pictures of him. Someone asking if a picture was taken on a car with his daughter, yes, I have one. I will send it to you if it the same person. Everything you described is the same as mine. Gave me a bank account that I had an access to get in to his account with millions in the account but the bank doesn't exist. He owed a lot of taxes and freeze his account, he says. He invited me to go and see him at the oil rigs in Berlin at my own expense. I didn't go. I didn't give him what he needed to go somewhere and he disappeared on me . He got all my life savings. I'm so ashamed what I've done.

Never trust a Wendy Lorna Martinez, claiming to be a gold miner's daughter of a deceased father. This gold heiress. Claiming to live in London, UK. Having affiliations with Ghana Accra Africa and some family in Florida. Claiming to have a mother by the name of Isabelle Alice Emmons. I met Wendy Lorna Martinez on the Eris Dating App back in October of 2019 and was talking to her off and on until May of 2020. Had her even blocked several times. Sent her an exorbent amount of money that tallies to about 3 grand. She claimed to have a hefty multibillion dollar fortune, to be granted to her if she appoints a husband. I was going to be her husband. But that all ended when I got tired of the run around with her. Then Covid-19 hit and dating wasn't going to go anywhere. Even flights from the UK and back, was on hiatus. Still is. Anyway, I'm out 3 grand, oh well. And a hundred bucks I sent to her on a gift card. I was only being nice and got my heartbroken and nothing in return. Whatever anyone does on dating apps, do not trust a Wendy Lorna Martinez.

I meet a guy on TikTok who goes by the name of Franklin Thom he says he is on an engineer on an oil rig off the golf of Mexico. He said he was a widow for 3yrs with a soon to be 14 yrs old son. Claimed he lived in Oregon, for 7yrs but original from Scotland. After 2 wks I asked more info about his son, told me his son’s Bday was the next Saturday. Dangled the kid saying if I was going to b a stepmom that maybe i could get what he wanted for his son’s bday. Said the kid “needed” an IPhone 12 Pro Max and EarPods. To send the money via PayPal to the kids guardian. Well, I sent him a message calling him a scammer. Signed it Smart Latina. Messaged back “Wow, are you kidding? What have I done to make you think that?....duhhhh Needless to say erased and blocked him everywhere.

My Brother met a vietnamese female online. He's been to see her twice, and twice he has been mugged! His passport was then lost, but GF found it on top of the wardrobe! His mobile and camera were taken, he has never got those back. She then asks him for money to help pay for her surgery on her appendix- she has shown no evidence of this. He has bought her other expensive gifts andhas said that he will giver her his bike. I expressed my concerns to him, he has never spoken to me for since hten. It is only because I care! I have a gut feeling he has been scammed!

It happened to me now. I know this guy from Pinterest, he confess that he fall in love with me and he convince me that we will live together and he will marry me. He said he’s Korean but lived in New York since he was kids, his parent are died, he have his own business and now he’s working offshore and ask me for money around $1000 cause he’s in the middle of something urgent and promise will give back my money after he’s out. I feel confused, but i should know there is something odds since the beginning we start chatting. I expect too much from him and fall for him already..

Anyone know an Owen brigs. No social media footprint. Contacted on Facebook. Claims to be from uk, engineer, wife died, 11 years old son, sister and mother in states. Recently asked for large sums of money

Anyone ever dealt with a Man named Antonio Piero. Working on a oil rig in the gulf of Mexico. Has a 12 year old son. Wife is dead.

A dozen men have tried to scam me the names are George peterson, Ron Steinar, Christian Armstrong, Eric Wolverton, Larry Dave Benson, Lawrence Ray, Christopher Dawson, Roland james, and so many others that I can't even remember. They all have the same pattern of going abroad and getting stuck, being on an oil rig, they are abroad and they have a catastrophe happen. They all come after me for gift cards, money, or to access their account and make a transfer. It's all ridiculous and pathetic fortunately I have not given out any money and do not intend to. The romance scams are out of control. All these guys have a parent from abroad, and one parent from the states. Don't believe anything that anyone tells you online. They move fast, they are smooth operators. Even the online video calls seem fake.

Sadly, I suffered once again from a guy on FB meet. Called himself Gary Anthony . Claimed he lived in FL bit did alot of family business in Edinburgh, Scotland. States he was quite wealthy. Our conversations went on for some time. Sent convincing pictures & of course good looking. Sent him pics of me too. Thought it was good especially after my last romance burn. Then he asked me for a iTune card as they were hard to get in Scotland. Sent it. Then he told me his business was in trouble & needed money to help it. Of course he promised to pay me back immediately and professed his love & that we are going to be together. On & on it went. I succumbed & eventually he bled me of $26,000 although he kept professing he would pay me back. Never got a penny. So embarrassed by being reeled in another time. So broke had to file bankruptcy. Please pleae ladies...they are all scammers and their stories are so convincing & your heart wants to believe everything & trust them...DON’T!!! They don’t care about you @ all...they just want to build their bank accounts!! I pray this guy gets caught too!!!

A lady named Elizabeth Bess asked for money for new hearing aids and gas money to meet. Anyone heard of this one?

Met a guy name Steve Hampton on tinder. Talk to him for about a month then he went to Qatar on an oil rig. Supposedly there was a huge storm and some of the equipment got damaged and one of his employees injured. Now we can’t complete the $10 million contract because he can’t access his money there and wanted me to send them $5000 as a deposit on the new equipment he needed that supposedly they wouldn’t send because of Covid without a payment. Supposedly lost his mom dad and sister all to Covid. As a 12-year-old son in France supposedly have France half American.Has a Nigerian accent however and uses Nigerian words like severally instead of severely

Has anybody heard of a man name Mark Stevenson out of California? He’s about 55, supposedly a OSHA consultant, from Latvia. His daughter just moved to Germany and his mom is back in Latvia, lost his wife five years ago to breast cancer. I thought he was the real deal. He said he was coming from California to Oklahoma before we even started talking and even sent me a copy of his plane ticket, everything good until he was supposed to leave yesterday, he says he’s on the plane but the airline shows that both his flights were canceled. I can’t find any information about him in California with his name email or phone number. I didn’t hear from him at all yesterday and woke up to an email from him claiming to be in jail in St. Louis and needed $750 to get out of jail. He was going to give me an account number up there in St. Louis, then he had to pay the officer, for COVID-19 quarantine. St. Louis isn’t doing a quarantine right at the moment so everything he’s told me has been a lie. He’s nice looking, bald, Green eyes or hazel, does it work glasses, sometimes a ball cap sometimes not. He’s got a tattoo on each of his arms, beard and mustache that is quite grey. I met him on plenty of fish website and we started talking immediately offsite. I told him today that I was insulted by him thinking I was that stupid. He tells me I’m paranoid and can’t help the person I love so he can’t be with me. I told him I knew he wasn’t in jail, or I knew he wasn’t in St. Louis either. Has anybody heard of him

Be on the lookout for someone who calls himself Gary Anthony. States he lives between Scotland & FL. Runs the family business...yeah...he’s crooked! Sure, he sent photos of “himself” ...good looking, etc. yes, we talked on the phone on Whats app, but never FaceTime...always some excuse for a delay. Sadly trusted his good faith, supposed Christian talk, thought he was truthful about paying me back...he just scammed me with more desperate stories which sounded believable. He even intimidated me saying how bad things were without my help...I lost $26,000. So sick over all this. Can’t believe it happened. Please, dont fall for it. He used a Scotland phone number...44-746-684-7872. Beware!!

Be alert to the names of Harry Wilson & Gary Anthony. Met both originally in FB. Then “Harry “ had me meet him on Hangouts. Then “Gary” has me meet him on Whats app. These were at diff times but learned the hard way...scammed of $46,000 total between the two of them. Thought they were real, honest , sincere, trusting & was told I would be paid back! I wound up having to file bankruptcy. Lost all my hard earned savings. If you don’t meet them face to face. Forget it!!! There are sooo many scammers out there as I am learning! Such a scary world. File a complaint with FTC, FBI and your credit bureaus. Just an awful experience. Hope this will hep someone!!
