John Wilson offers to help catch a scammer, too bad he IS ONE

We recently recieved an email from a reader who was already scammed for thousands and was talking online to a new man she met supposedly from Tennessee. She told him about how she was scammed before, etc. They wrote back and forth and then he told her he wanted to help find her scammer for her. Then came this email, where he wanted her to send 650 dollars to Nigeria to have his "friends" find him. He is a scammer too, and had NO intention of finding anyone. Here is the email from John Wilson to her where he goes in for the kill to seal the deal. Note how at the end he has to go and "read his bible." Yeah right!

Firstly, I give thanks to God almighty for His mercy that endure forever upon us. You are one of a kind and i so much appreciate that. Lord I thank you father for sending this woman to me. I know she is an heaven sent and it is your world that say where two are join together in your name, you will be there with them. Lord I thank You for your wonderful shower of blessing upon us. It is such a blessing moment for me to meet you. Sweetie, i understand why you are feeling insecure but i want to assure you that i will get on hold of the guy, but i have contacted the efcc and they ask me a little information about you, i also gave them your number, maybe they will call you soon for a little interview on phone. Because when i talked to them i was told that you have to pay them for workmanship first and i let them understand that the guy have ripped you a lot that you have nothing left and they also feel concern about that too. But they said never the less that you need to pay, which if i have here i would have help you out. I was told that they need $650.00 for this. But baby if you don;t have i understand and if there is a way i can help you out i will okay, so that they can start as soon as possible. They will trace and catch him in every possibility because that is their work and job, to stop curruption.
Back to your question baby, i have a DL but do not have scanning machine to scan over here. But my address in state: 128 Mill Circle, Smyrna TN 37167. I understand that you want to feel safe with me and you want to feel safe on there baby. Now I believe I can do anything with you, cause you are my family in Christ. Baby I want to go to any lenght with you. To travel together and do things together, I want to meet your dad and i want him to know that I have Jesus in my life. And despite because of all what has happening to you, i promise i will treasure you and i will not break your hurt. I don't understand why people think money or materials things is the major thing in life, instead to be seeking the kingdom of God first and all other things will be added unto us. I feel for you for everything you hav gone through...But i know there is a reason why we met and God will keep us safe to be together soon sweetie. It is when i became a believe that i believe that there is nothing God can not do. Sweetie, I got divorce about 4yrs ago and since then i have not met any woman for sex. Because I know it is a sin to my soul. I also want you to know that I have struggle financially before God turn around things to a better way in my life, when i became a photo journalism. Today I thank God for this position i am. So I believe that if you know God He will surely meet all your needs and you have nothing to worry about. Please feel free and don't be hesitate to ask me anything that is not clear to you. Have a wonderful day ahead at work.
I think i have to stop here and read my bible. May this day be a blessing to you and always.
Hope to hear from you soon
Love always
John

Hello

Am from Los Angelos, but right now in Lagos Nigeria. I am single i have been married before with 1 kids, am an Italian - grew up in Troy NY - Went to catholic schools to the age of 13-Troy High school. Went to local 2 year college HVCC. Transferred to Plattsburgh were I graduated with a degree in Hotel Rest. Management. I am a very laid back and fun loving gentle man. I have many varied interests, and can hold a conversation on many different subjects. I try to be as honest as possible, can find humor in almost any situation.Love being outdoors also either by the river or the lake.I was raised with a strike Christian background and taught from a young age to always respect myself and other people. I have decided to specifically state where I stand about religious faiths. The Bible says do not be unequally yoked. I'm not into a bunch of the different doctrines that are out there. I am a Christian. I live my life as a Christian. I would love to raise children in a Christian atmosphere. Just as I stated earlier, Jesus is the head of my life. He is my Lord and Savior, and I can't thank him enough for all he has done for me. He has blessed me so much that I would never want to disappoint him, because you never know, the blessing it may cost, is our love. The Bible says (KJV) Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteous; and all these things shall be added unto you." and that includes MEMost of all, I am a Christian and I strive to live according to how GOD wants us to live. His word says "Extra-marital sex is Fornication." That is an abomination of God. So, having said that....when we meet, I'm not having sex with you! I am saving myself until the next time I get married. Don't take me lightly on that, because you will find out the hard way, I mean what I say.I am a sassy, smart, strong-willed female. I enjoy doing just about anything outside. I jog/ride bikes on a regular basis. I grew up in the state, so I am not afraid to try just about anything. I am not afraid to get dirty, love riding four-wheelers. I am quite adventersome and enjoy learning new things. I am an animal lover, in my life I have had many different animals as pets, from Raccoon to horses. I currently have a cat. One of my quirks/traits is that I can coax up almost any animal. Most animals are drawn too me. And its hard for me to resist wanting to keep them.I would say that my biggest fault is that I have no use for lazy people. I am not looking for a coach potato or a person who does not work. Occupation really doesn't matter to me as long as you work hard. I am seeking an active, quick witted, strong minded, woman who is not afraid to be a woman. I like somewhat cocky, self-assured women who are active.I'm a quiet, kind, loyal. A great meaning for me is a human's soul. Circle of my interests is various. I like the literature, music, and cinema. personality traits are; calm, honest, kind, loyal, flexible, elegant, sociable, sensitive, gentle, cheerful, optimistic, romanticAm very understanding,open minded with a heart of forgiving, loving and caring with sense of humor, hard working with cheerful character,honest,sincere,kind, warm and intelligent with good lookI am an energetic and sociable person. I appreciate decency and sincerity in a relationship between a woman and a man. The inner beauty is more important for me than the beauty of appearancehave fully decided to be a role Model to my children when i have them and a good, loving and caring husband to my wife.But I doesn’t want to mess myself with the wrong woman.I am a man who possess these qualities: loving, faithful, ki nd, compassionate, honesty, trustworthy, caring, sincere, loyal, friend, morals, easy to talk to, and passionate I have no problem in communicate about feelings, needs, wants, hopes, dreams, problems, solutions, and other things that can make a relationship work. I know communication is part of a healthy relationship. Without it relationship is doom for failure. I have no problem listen to someone I love.My perception of an ideal , I would like to see near me clever, intelligent, and reliable man. Which would require my emotional heat, capable to like and respect the woman. I have to let you know aswell, that am an honest person as i have said, and i have to be honest with that, i don't have any boyfriend at present now and am not in any serious relationship. am a great giver because I so much believes in the Multiplied returns and that's why I doesn’t lack anything. I never speak negatively about people, I take less and listen more to people and does not jump into other people's affairs. I wish to open a new world in the world of your soul. And if I understand you are the Only whom I am seeking, i share with you all your sorrows and joys, Ii will be your best friend and life partner I like to travel very much.

Dear Love,My Dearest XXX, I met you some weels ago on the Internet, and since that time, I have grown to love you so deeply. I have heard it said that online romances don't last, but I disagree. I know that what we are doing may be considered wrong by some, but I also know what I feel in my heart, and I know that it's real.I lay awake at night, sometimes, and I cry 'cause I miss you so much. I know that we can't change the past, and I know that we can't predict the future, but my heart does not lie ... I am so in love with you.When you kiss me so tenderly, my heart skips a beat. When I look into your beautiful eyes, I can see how much you love me. When we make love so sweetly and passionately, I can feel the emotion just by holding you closely... we may not be together now in person , but our love still goes on, and I just want you to know that you are precious to me and no matter how this story turns out, I will always love you, now and forever.
I am looking for someone who wants a relationship based on being equal partners.Some one who believes that communication is what helps a relationship endure.I am looking for a woman that is as tired of playing games as I am. The past several relationships that I have been in move along fine to a certain point. It seems like once you near that serious commitment stage that people tend to turn tail and run. This is what has happened to me. People say they want a serious committed relationship but when you get to that point, they bail out. The woman I am looking for should know what she wants and be very good in communicating. she should be good at expressing her opinions and feelings to her mate as well as be good at listening. Communication is very important in a relationship. Also, she should be able to put her relationship first as it should be the one of the most important things in her life.I am a certified chef so I love to cook. Myself cooking a nice dinner with candle light, a little wine, and some soft music would be a great evening to me. It would give us time to share and talk and get to know each other.I am an old fashioned romantic and tend to be a touchy feely kind of man. I enjoy quiet times with that special someone, holding hands, hugging, cuddling up to each other. I also think that the sexual part of a relationship is very important and you must be on the same wave here also. I know and believe that this part of the relationship comes in time and is not rushed into, but thought I should mention that I am both a touch feely and sexual person, and that these parts of a relationship are important to me.I am Looking for a woman that need Love and a woman that is Ready to be Loved..a woman that will be loving and caring..a woman that is responsible and a woman that is hardworking..a woman that has love in abundance and is Ready to give it out..a woman that needs care and support in Life..A woman that will be there for me In The Good and Bad time of my life..a woman that we will live together and Bear children and a woman that will Love our Kids and take Good care of them and a woman that we will like happily.I'm not looking for a woman from this or that part of the world, I'm looking for a special woman to come into my life, someone I could give my life and care to… Maybe I simply wasn't lucky to find the right person here , but honestly speaking, woman in our country are just another story: generally they are not family-oriented, they don't know how to treat men right, many drink alot, they don't know how to support the family and just "enjoy" the chance to put all the responsibility on men’s shoulders… I don't want to say that all of them are the same, but the main tendency is just like this…I think life can be full only when there is someone to share it with, and I'm looking for a woman who will understand me, care of me, who will trust me and whom I will trust, who will treat me as a Loving man, as a man, and if she does this - I will do anything to make her happy, I will always be by her side, I will share all good and bad times with her no matter what happens in life…
I'm looking for a loving, caring, fair woman to give her everything I have, all the life I possess, all the feelings I have inside… I'm very understanding, loving and affectionate person, and I'm seeking for the same qualities in my future mate, I want her to be family-oriented, with traditional values and serious attitude towards life, marriage and general relationship between a man and a woman. If she was in the company of other man I trust she will be faithful and I'll be the one to please her in any way, not some other man, in public or in private. I'll satisfy her every need.I know about the stories of the girls making so-called "Marriage for convenience", marrying foreign women just to get citizenship. It seems to me that every country, every nation has good or bad people - on our TV screen they often show programs about foreign women who marry Ukrainian boys and then force them to work as gay. Is this true? Or it’s not? The only thing I'm sure of - there could be some bad guys marrying women "for convenience" and there could be some foreign woman earning money on their spouses, just as there could be woman from Thailand, China and woman from Canada or Germany, and it seems to me its not fair to make any generalization about it…I would never consider myself as looking desperately for any woman to get married with and to leave my country, of course its not a secret that Ukraine is having financial, economical problems, the level of life is not high here comparing to other countries, but the materialistic side of life will never be a priority for me, I do need to love a person and to feel his love with me, what will be the one and only reason for marriage. I think it is a natural desire for a woman to be always with her man, to feel his presence, his love…So, what do I want in life… I simply want to be happy, I want to love my Woman and to be loved by her, I want to live all my life together with her, life full of mutual care and support, devotion and faithfulness, understanding and trust, to be there for her no matter what life's darkness casts upon her…

Yahoo Scammer Danny Wills Victim Story

Danny Wills
I met this Danish man on yahoo, he viewed my profile and contacted me as I was not a member. His email address is willsd77@yahoo.com. We met and of course hit it off immediately. He told me he was a goldsmith he was self employed out of his home and worked at night making jewelry in his home why would I doubt him. He said he was 56 years old and he was a god fearing god loving man, of course I believed everything he said. I was very sick and was at home off work for three months and a lot of medication he was so concerned and said he wanted to take care of me. We were on the phone all day long he would leave me lovely e-mails poems with a lot of art. He claimed to live in Yucca Valley. Two months into our relationship he said he had to go to you got it Accra Ghana for a shipment of gold he had ordered he was going to be gone for maybe three days. A couple of days after he had arrived, he got robbed and beaten his passport and all of his investments were stolen. I told him immediately that I was not going to send him air fare back home. He was insulted and said he did not need my help, he just need my love and understanding. Two weeks later I broke down and sent him $1,000.00 on my VISA via Western Union. It was not enough. I did not hear from him for about a week. The next call I received was from a Dr. from a hospital in Africa that my husband was dying and that they found my name and number on his cell phone. I stopped answering the calls. A week later he called outraged the I did not love him he had been on his death bed that he needed blood and that they had to shock him back to life. A week after that, which is about a month of drama I finally sent him $600.00 via Western Union these were sent to Michael Nykrao the manage of the hotel where he owed money but the message on the wire was that the money was for Danny Wills. He c alled me the day he received the last of the money he needed to get home and told me he was going to come home and make amends so that we could start our life together. He arrived back in the US on a Saturday and called me to tell me that he was going to come down the next day to pay me and to finally meet his wife. I have not heart from him again. I tried calling his cell phone and it is off. I am a small town girl, very trusting and honest and it shocks me that people could do things like this. I also forget the Satan can also quote the bible. It scared me that I could not tell the difference between god and satan. I can never tell my family as they would never understand, but I really did fall in love with this man, he always was too perfect. I can blame some of my stupidity on the heavy doses of medication I was on along with chemotherapy. I am glad to say that I am back at work and my days of getting so caught up in computer land I hope are over. I learned a very hard lesson and I hope this story will help someone else. This man is Danish and has a beautiful accent. He is very articulate and can be anything you need and want so please be careful!!! I don't know if I will every trust again. Thank you
