I’ve been chatting with a guy named Anthony Micheal who is from Norway but currently in Newfoundland on a rig named Submersible which I can’t find online. Asking for 5k to fix a leaking pipe. Claims to be his biggest contract ever and when he completes project in 2 more weeks is planning to come to the States and be with me. Has 11 year old daughter named Lisa. Have pictures of him and daughter. Anyone ever dealt with this man?

Be aware of scammer Thompson Joshua. Oil rig contractor of some sort. His scam did not work with me, but he is likely to move on to anext victim. In FB pictures are handsome (not sure who that guy on pictures actually is) fancy clotehs, cars and a 7 year old son.

Has anyone heard of a man with last name Waddington? On oil rig Hibernia? Works for transocean. I’ve called main number for transocean but they haven’t called bk. Says he is drilling engineer. He just sent me a text stating he was hurt while working on equipment that malfunctioned. Said he was hit in the head and then fractured hand. He said he lost consciousness and is with medic on the rig. My thought was if you’re injured and lose consciousness from something falling on your head that they would surely transport you off the rig. He says he is still with medics. I don’t know if he is not being truthful or if transocean is just a greedy crooked cheap company that won’t take care of their ppl???

Recently started talking to a gentleman Richard Vri, Dries, Devries, not sure what his last name is 2 cell phone numbers has sent pictures of a handsome man with a beard, says he is from Amsterdam, lives in Miami but currently on a work project in the Timor Sea. Now wanting me to send 10,000 dollars to pay a work order because there is a problem requiring additional verification with his international bank account. I have access to the account because he initially wanted me to do a wire transfer for him due to poor reception in the Timor Sea. My gut is telling me this is a scam but why would he give me his bank account if it truly is a scam he promises to pay me back right away once he gets paid. Cell numbers 312-801-4904 (Chicago) and 1-786-686-4667 (Miami) Bank New Heritage that has a Branch in Minnestoa and Amsterdam and his wire transfer that got declined was to Rhyno Properties LLC nothing to do with drilling. Reenforce I am being foolish

I have been chatting with Christopher Henderandez for almost a month. He is supposedly on an oil rig off of Canada. So far he has asked me for money 3 times. I have refused. He has asked to use my bank account. I have refused. He has a daughter. I forgot her age. His wife and son were killed in a car accident in Germany. He was born in the United states. Raised in Portugal and now supposedly lives in Ohio when not on the Rig. I have confronted him about the scam. He keeps denying it. Ladies do no send money.

Maybe same scammer named Williams Lopez from London he told me he is an civil engineer with a 6 weeks contract of installation of oil drilling in Alaska. He gave me a log in password for his bank account so that i need to screenshot it and send to him using my mobile phone. i'm scared if he can manipulate or (remote) my phone.

This guy has my sister convinced they are going to get married and all this other great stuff and I’m worried he’s a Catfish.

I was chatting with a guy by the name Andy Brad. He wanted me to invest in bitcoins and help him transfer money around. He said he needed it to get the property that his parents willed to him. He could only get it if he was married and paid $10,000. He said if I helped him then we could get started with our life. Really wish I could post a picture because women would be attracted to him.
