My Dearest Love,
Am very happy. I am very glad to know that you are still with me in this hard time and I feel very happy to find out that someone truly loves me for who I am and not for any other worldly reason.I am going through alot of pains at the moment and i cant withstand it for much longer, Please love i don't want you to think i am imposing myself on you but i think a friend in need is a friend in deed..Am a man of my words and of high ethics and scruples and wont go back on my word.I have given you my word back of repayment and trust me i wont let you down if you take this step of faith to see me through this..I will be ever grateful to you forever as well as my son(Paul)..I hate to see him go through this with me..His well being and happiness means alot to me and i believe if you help me get this sorted out,everything will be fine.


I want you to understand that I am doing everything possible to recover on time here. The doctor has promised that he is going to help me get the money out once you send it via Western Union. He however said that I can't leave the hospital premise yet and that it will be collected by the hospital cashier if only you send it to the name MARY RICHARD,He said is that you split the money and send it twice in 2 different Western Union Wallmart store. He said there are usually problems when people want to send large sums of money at once. Since he has had several cases like his, he said there is no problem. you just need to help go to a Western Union Walmart store like 10 miles away. So, the person you are sending to now is:

Here is the info

MARY RICHARD
87 READING AVE
IKEJA LAGOS 23401
NIGERIA


So as soon as you get the funds sent , just send me the Western Union details. Information's that i need on Western Union will be 1.Mtcn number its will be on the receipt given to you at Western Union for the both transaction..2...sender's name and address 3...Total amount you sent down here for the both transaction 4...Text question and answer for both transaction so i can get it as soon as possible. I cant withstand the pain my love
I await your response. I love you.....

Stephen Michaels - Nigerian Scammer


Here is an email from a reader that requested we post it here:
My name is
Deborah, and three months ago I met a man claiming to live in England, Manchester and named Stephen Michaels. He was 52 years old, was a widower and owner of a shop "BELLA HOUSE OF FABRICS." I am a well-informed person, work hard, am a teacher and exchanged a few emails, and talk when meet the Internet. Turns out there five days he said he would go to Nigeria to work and then come to Brazil.


Yesterday he
contacted me to say it was stolen, who pointed a gun at the head of his daughter, Anna, and took all their money. Argued that he should seek the British consulate, but in return "Stephen" told me that nothing could be done.



I began to suspect. In fact he called me a lot of attention is always asking about my son, today I wanted to know information to blackmail me. I need you to put this on the website so that other women do not fall in the coup. As I did not send any money threatened to kill my son, and even said that the FBI would come looking for me, because I promised to denounce, as I am doing now. Another mistake, if he is British should call to Scotland Yard. I'm going through the photos that the supposed "Stephen" and sent me these awful assemblies passports done over the Internet. Publicize please! He gave me this address Manchester Road, 198, Ashton - Tameside and telephone number: 447 045 776 067 447 700 010 986 as well. Thanks very much to post, and if they do the translation into English.
Thank you so much!

David Cuthbertson - Nigerian Scammer



This letter was sent to us by a reader who wanted to warn others. Here is her email:
just signed up for Match.com and it didn't take long for this jerk to contact me! I am copying the emails he sent. Most of our communication was done through IM and he didn't answer most of my direct questions. There were some inconsistencies in his stories, which is when I decided to do a little Google-ing. We never got to the point where he asked me for money, which is pretty funny anyway because I am broke in a Big Way!

I will also attach the photos he sent. He claimed he bought the Bentley in the photo in England and went to Dubai to buy another car. His yahoo IM photo is of him in a white tee shirt standing in front of his Hummer. He likes four wheeling and riding dirt bikes; he works somehow with horses but was not specific; he plays video games; he will relocate to anywhere to be with the woman he loves. He said he has an eight year old son named Max. He asked (twice) if I kissed on the first date; he didn't ask much about my background or family. Unfortunately, I sent him photos which will probably be used to scam someone else.

He sent me his phone number but said he feels nervous because of his accent. First he told me his mom took him to Napoli, Italy for five years when he was seven years old because she wanted him to have an accent; today he said he was there for 20 years.
His username on the site is :
rider_horse 5671
His name is supposedly David Cuthbertson.
Here is his email:
HELLO!

I am a 50yr old single, I love life, and enjoy the life I live. I am caring, affectionate, and love to spend my time helping others, and making them smile.. I am looking for a honest woman who deserves to be loved and cared for, and who can love and care for another.. Affectionate
I am, and I love it when returned. Honesty is very important to me, and giving is something I love to do. I feel two people should be able to communicate and share good things as well as bad... God is a very important aspect in my life, and my faith is very important to me.

I have been blessed in so many ways, and have been given much love to share with another. I believe there is one person for everyone, and when two people find each other and feel good together, nothing can stop them from being together forever. I believe a relationship should be 50/50. Sharing and caring and also respect for the each other. Life is too short to play games, there are very few men and women in this world that know the difference between the things they desire and the things they need in a life-long partner/partnership. Think about it. I love to travel There's nothing better than a good movie-especially (most!) Comedy- (or those happy ending films too:).. I have a wide range of menu.

Warm fires and warm hearts. Laughter & tears are my favorite emotions. I am just looking for a normal relationship, with no surprises... Be honest with me and I will always be honest with you... Respect me and I will respect you... I love romance, and I want the woman I am with to look at me and see her future with me... I want her to long for me, and I want to be in a place of refreshment with her.... I want to be her friend, companion, and lover and fill her life with joy and happiness, and make our dreams come true together. I will tell you more about me and send you pics.. I have added your email address to messenger chat, hope to chat with you soon... riderandthehorse@rocketmail.com

She loving, caring and with a great sense of humor, we discuss about things and use employ each other opinion, decision, Advice and motive on our daily life, Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.

I am looking for a soul mate that we are all looking for. A woman with a great sense of humor like You... You could also say My Special Angel.One of my questions is can you handle kindness? Kindness comes from the heart and most people treat kindness as weakness. So if you are looking for a kind person then you need not look any further. I am looking for a commitment. No head games please.So if my Angel is out their you can come to me.and i also believe Nothing good comes easy except by handwork.

Am very Romantic person... i give all i can do to make a lady to be happy for the rest of her life... i will always make her happy wont hurt her... i will never lie to her...i will be 100% honest and sincere to her but i will like her to do the same for me...i don't want to get divorce or separation, because i will get hurt more and more and that will make me to not love any lady again, but i know one day i will find my sweetest love ever...Actually understanding matters a lot and trust is another thing that goes along with a good relationship and friendship. If you can give me your trust, am sure we can be friends without hurting each other.Although relationship is just like a perfume of which certain amount may delight you but too much of it can turn you off... i want you to be there for me if am not in happy mood to carry me on i can assure you... you will be the happiest lady on earth.Though miles may lie between us, we're never far apart, for friendship doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart.No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each others guess a little about me will be glad to receive more response from you, be safe and take good care yourself until then stay safe.Later

God Bless You... Later
Are You God Sent????

Patrick Lawrence, Nigerian Scammer - Victims Story

Here is a letter from our reader sent in to warn others about Patrick Lawrence, a Nigerian Scammer. here is the email:

Patrick claims his undying love for me and how we will be married when he returns to the States. He claims he is in Nigeria building homes on a $10 million contract. He even showed me the contract. He also claims he is from Germany where he was born and raised. He got his degree in B.S. Construction Science in Germany. His father died when he was 17 and his mother died recently so he moved from Germany to Dallas, Texas, where he claims to live at 10141 Daria Place, Dallas, Texas. I researched that address and found out that President George W. Bush lives there! His phone number is 234 812 219 7140. But each time he calls, the phone connection is bad and I am unable to talk to him. His email address is digingforlove23@yahoo.com. He asked me to take down my profile from match dot com because he didn’t want anyone to take me away from him. He claims he took his profile down as soon as he found me because I was the perfect woman for him. His IM’s on Yahoo messenger are full of “loving” words all about how I am the perfect one for him. He tells me his construction job will end in 3 weeks time and that he is going to fly to my place and surprise me and my family. He also IM’d my daughter in Spanish. He says he has his 10 year old son, David, with him in Nigeria and that David has a personal teacher. He shows me pictures of David. He asks me to use my webcam but claims he has to go out and buy one for himself (so I am not able to see him online). Below are excerpts of some of the conversations we have had:

i can see so many thing's in you that make you so specal to me and know other man that see it but i do and that is why i fall madly in love with you”

you gave me hope and i want to make sure we get together and i will be a suprise to you and your family

“Oh....my love you alway's told me about your past and how much you get hurt,....that is why i want to suprise you and your family”

“i'll fly to your place and you will be the person to pick me at the airport

“you are like a dream I never thought would ever come true for me. When I hear your voice I start to smile with glee. My eyes shine with glee when I know you are thinking of me

“Honestly you are so special to me; I pray that we will finally know we are meant to be with one another. I haven't ever talked to anyone so like you before”

His spelling is always bad. I don’t have a photo to share because I was unable to download a good one from Yahoo messenger. But he claims to be 5’8” and about 180 lbs. The photo shows a white man with salt and pepper hair and the man in the photo is very good looking. His user name on match.com was something like “cryingforlove”. He also shows a photo of this man in a “Gruene Hall” t-shirt.

Scam Victims Story - Gerald Allen




A reader recently sent us their story dealing with a Nigerian scammer going by the name of Gerald Allen:
I live in Spain and was contacted August 2009 by a man who said that he was an American/Canadian following my dating advert in germansingles He told me that he was about 51 years old, divorced with an 11 year old daughter, that he was an freelance geologist after having worked as such for many years for Halleburton. At the time of the initial contact he said that he was in London tendering for a contract in Scotland and Norway. As he didn´t get these contracts he then, so he told me, obtained a contract in Nigeria solving an oil spillage. After about 6 weeks of chatting online via Messenger he became very affectionate and declared his love for me and that he wanted to meet me. After about 2 months of having regular online contact he told me that he had left his briefcase with his passport, all his money, credit cards etc. in a taxi travelling from the site and he then asked me to help him out financially which I did. This was followed by a variety of other sob stories which ended in my sending him more money. He sounded always very convincing and although I did have doubts unfortunately I always gave him the benefit of the doubt. I sent him money to leave Nigeria and he said that he was then in London. I tried to meet him in the U.K. 3 times whilst over there but each time something happened as to why he could not meet me. He continued chatting to me for over one year more via messenger. During that time I did not send him more money although from time to time I received more sob stories. Just recently I asked him to come to Spain and e-mailed a Ryanair boarding pass to him. (I had a copy of his "American passport" which was a fake). Needless to say he did not turn up. He told me that at the Ryanair Visa check desk he had been asked for a malaria vaccination certificate (He said that he contracted malaria whilst in Nigeria) which he said cost Pound Sterling 360.--. I checked this out with Ryanair and received confirmation from them in writing that this was not required. I challenged him on this and he eventually admitted that he was actually a Nigerian/South African with a mixed colour Nigerian father and a white South African mother. He asked my forgiveness and told me that he was ashamed of what he had done to me. All in all he conned me out of Euros 20,000.- which he said that he would repay bit by bit. He said that he had not spent all this money but invested it in shares. He also begged me not to report him to the police. He wanted to turn over a new leaf and make something of himself. I don´t believe that this is true and that he will continue conning women out of money. His e-mail address is geraldall@hotmail.com and geraldald@yahoo.com
geraldallen@yahoo.com

his mobile phone no. is 00447035906915 (previously 004470457029 and whilst in Nigeria 2347030884045)

his "Canadian mother´s" phone no. 17802375213 and her e-mail address maryavilla@hotmail.com and his "daughter´s Kimberley" kimberlygrd@hotmail.com

I checked his "mother´s and daughter´s" e-mail out by sending a greeting card via 123greetings which were returned.

Since then he has admitted that he does not have any children and is single.

He told me that his present address in London is 23 Bethel Drive, Newham, London E138BN.

He admitted that the initial 2 photos he sent me were somebody else but the subsequent ones were him (the last 2 were not that different from the initial ones but his "American passport" photo was quite different. (I had asked him for a copy of his passport before sending him more money about 1 year ago getting him out of Nigeria by making up a bit of a story).

Another Day, Another Scam this time from Ghana


Watch out for a lady named Lawer Linda Mauwginuwua from Accra, Ghana. She promised me the world, broke my heart and took my money. Her photo is a 31 year old white woman who has blond hair and a voluptuous figure and smile. My guess is that the pirates in Ghana took her photo off the Internet and scammed me. I got several documents from her which appear to be fraudulent. She is extremely attractive and her messages were as sweet as they could be. She refuses to return emails now that she has my money. Please advise if there are any organizations that can help me recover my money and prosecute these pirates.


BELOW ARE SOME OF LINDA'S EMAILS TO OUR READER:
This was sent on 6/8/11.

Note - I never sent the $300 and she has stopped emailing me. her email easygoinglinda1@yahoo.com
THE FOLLOWING TWO PHOTOS OF HER ARE BADLY PHOTOSHOPPED WITH HER HEAD ONTO ANOTHER'S BODY - ONE WHERE SHE GOT ARRESTED AND NEEDED HELP AND THE OTHER WHEN SHE WAS SUPPOSEDLY IN THE 'HOSPITEL" AS SHE CALLED IT




This was sent a week before.

This was sent on 5/20/11. She attached the picture with her in shackles with it. That cost me $500 to allegedly get her out of jail. The transfer of gold ownership was what she said she needed. I was a sucker and it makes me sick to be conned like this.

Hello My Dear,
Sorry if i did say anything to hurt you it was because i am very afraid to go to jail baby,I beg them and they gave me one more day for that to be done which is tomorrow 4pm otherwise i will be going to jail baby and this is the last favor they are giving me which is is one more day,baby please do understand that i will be with you and nothing will happened again take this step as your last step for me and i will be in your arms for us to live a happy life together my love,Tony Many things have happened in the past for us and many things have changed. It doesn't matter how much time has gone by. Time could never make my feelings for you weak or fade away. Now all i need from you is one more chance to be together ,Love, trust, understanding, affection, honesty, tolerance and loyalty are key factors for a successful relationship. Every time I think of you my heart misses a beat sweetheart,I love you and i don't want to go to jail baby please do understand this because of our love sweetheart,I promise you that i will be in your arms as soon as the second document is done and i am out of here darling...take care for me and stay blessed..

Love always,
Linda



footnote - She never did anything to try to come be with me. She told me she had bought a ticket from KLM airlines. When I called them, thy had no record of her buying a ticket. It appears that the lady in the pictures is not real. My bet is that these pirates picked the picture off the Internet and she is not aware of her picture being used in a scam. I doubt that she got a dime of my money and that makes it all the worse.Check Your Mate Before You Date!

Russian Scammer from Mate1 Strikes Again

After 3 weeks of no contact from the Russian girl on Mate1, our reader received THIS email from her, asking for guess what??? MONEY! for her mothers HEART surgery?!?!?!?!

I write you this letter and crying. The matter is that I had an awful grief. My mum had 2 days ago a heart attack. I at all
do not know, why it has occurred. It seems to me, that I am guilty in it. The matter is that she very much worried about me, that I cannot
arrange the private life. Now my mum is in a critical condition. Surgery which costs approximately 10 thousand roubles is urgently
necessary to my mum. It is approximately 350 dollars. For me it not simply big, but the huge sum. At my salary in 2 000 roubles a month.
From me all my friends have turned away. For me the life has turned simply to a hell. I understand you that you are surprised, why I
address to you. But I have nobody to address more. All my friends when this grief has happened to me, have turned away from me. Yes they
probably too can be understood. After all they too have no such big sum. My darling, I can rely only on
you, but more I have nobody to go. You know me more because everything, that I wrote to you about myself. Please, help me
if can. Perhaps someone from your friends can help me. I will necessarily return then money, but not at once. I ask you help me and
I will make for you everything, everything. This surgery on heart is very dangerous. That it to make, highly skilled experts from Moscow
with the special equipment and materials are necessary. In our republics naturally there are no such experts. To me have told in
hospital that can help me. But the big sum of money is for this purpose necessary. It is necessary, that to us in a city there has
quickly arrived a command of highly skilled experts with the equipment. My darling if you can really give me this money please
help me.

More Signs of a Scammer

First, they hardly EVER write your name. They just put in "Babe","Hun".. or their all time favorite "My Queen." This is because they are sending the same stuff they copy and pasted to you to 100 other women.
Second, they may not even sign THEIR name. Quite often they will sign the WRONG name.
Third, they have names that sound like two FIRST names. Paul William @blahblah.com
Is it William Paul? Or Paul William? They do this a lot so they can SWITCH names down the line. For 6 weeks they may use Paul as their first name, and then switch to William as their first name.
Fourth, recieving money requests from hospitals or doctors. No hospital or Doctor is going to send you an email asking for money. Quick way to verify? Call the US embassy. Let them help you, like they should be helping the idiot asking you for money.
Fifth, underlined words in their emails. If you see dashes under words in an email sent to you, those dashes are there because when you cut and paste, errors get underlined in various ways.
That is one key to spotting a cut and pasted letter.
Sixth, weird backgrounds in certain emails, like pink with lip imprints, etc. The reason for this is when they cut and pasted off a site, the background from the site came too.

Signs You May Be Talking To A Nigerian Scammer

Now that we decided to toy with scammers in an effort to keep them busy (and hopefully away from victims) we have noticed some signs right away that we have a Nigerian scammer on the hook. Here are some of the signs that you may be talking, chatting or emailing a Nigerian scammer:

1. Their first email to you (or maybe the second) gives you their yahoo id (even though you didn't ask for it) and they want to chat offsite with yahoo im.

2. They supply their phone number almost immediately and want yours (of course it is not a us or uk number)

3. If they have a child, they have an only child. They say they have custody of their child and the kid travels with them to foreign countries. Forget about school and freinds for the kid.... who the hell babysits this kid by the way?

4. They may start out living in the United States but wind up working overseas perhaps in the UK, Italy, whatever but then after THAT job, they get their next job in....guess where.... Africa. Big shock, right?

5. The sob story is they are either a widow whose wife died in a car accident, during childbirth, or left him for his best friend. These are the three most popular right now.

6. They are looking for a woman (man) who will be a mother (father) for their child. RIGHT AWAY. They let you know they told the kid about you and the kid is THRILLED and calls you Mom or Dad right away. When/if the kid writes you they will change the font color. (How stupid)

7. The say they grew up in the states, BUT don't use our vernacular. They say they went to the cinema. We in the U.S.A. say we went to the movies. They say they need "food stuffs". In America, we simply say "food". Their spelling is horrible and grammar is just as bad. They love to use "cos" for because.

8. They often say they are new to the site and you are the first person they are writing to -- go check, they have been on for a while, and have friends.

9. They profess love REALLY quickly. Within a few emails they KNOW you are the right one for them and want to spend the rest of their lives with you. Yeah, ok.

10. They tell you they live in California or New York or wherever, but know NOTHING about it. They don't know the area, stores, streets, etc. These are just some of the signs we have observed so far and will post more soon.

9. They bought a one way ticket to a foreign country. Huh? They may say it is because they didn't know when the job would be finished? Pay the extra 50 bucks to change the dates, rather than the high rate of a one way ticket that of course they won't have the money for when the job is over, because they will either be robbed (lie) or have a check they can't cash (lie).

10. Can't cash a check in a foreign country. Really? Why the hell not? Go to the bank that issued the check, and cash it there. You don't have to have an account, just the person who WROTE THE CHECK does. So, what's the problem? Oh, that's right, there ISN'T a check anyway, this is all part of the scam.

11. Accents : You may think he/she disn't SOUND Nigerian. Would you know what a Nigerian sounds like? No. You most likely DON'T. The big question is why does someone BORN in America (like they claim) that lived in America (like they claim) have an accent that is NOT American?

Soldier Scam on Tagged.com

A reader alerted us to a scammer she met on tagged.com, who calls himself Christopher Phillips. Christopher Phillips claims to be a soldier in Afghanistan and needed her to pay to get him deployed early so he can come back to the states. She called him on his scam and thank goodness didn't send him the money. His email address is crichardphillips@yahoo.com
She sent an email to the email address he gave her to send the money to with nothing in the subject and nothing in the body of the email. She received an email back from a supposed government agency asking her if she wanted to send money for the soldier. Wow, wonder how they knew? (Of course it is because it's the scammers email address, not the us governments!)
