We received this email from a reader to warn others. This guy is yet another Nigerian scammer looking for money. Here is a sample of his emails and his "photo" (most likely stolen). Thanks for sending this in, and keep them coming!!

Dear X,
Hope you are feeling as happy and great as i am feeling after reading from you..,i am so glad that you shared all you did with me,it is really glaring that we are really heading in the right direction.
Who are you? A woman being a goddess? or a goddess pretending to be a woman? Whichever you are, you are doing something special to me.lol.I mean after all these years, i would have thought i might not have the possibilities again of having my dream woman, my partner, my best friend and co pilot. I'm talking about fate here - when feelings are so powerful it's as if some force beyond your control is guiding you to someone who can make you happy beyond your wildest dreams. I wouldn't be scared anyway, because truly, Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end.The inevitable truth is , If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one.
I have over 45 labors currently working with me, both skilled and unskilled. yet all could notice a new glow on my face today. LOL. I don't really have permanent staff, i hire hands when i have project(s) and put someone in charge until each one is over. I am currently making plans to travel out of the country to buy building materials. I will fill you in as date of departure gets closer... not to worry i always take my laptop with me.
I moved to Baltimore from Atlanta which is where i still have a house of my own. I am currently renting here. Now that i have found you i am hoping a new life would start from here and I am being true to my feelings, as my old friend would say "never question if you are in love or not, because if you were you wouldn't need to ask". So the best of men would accept what they feel without questions, because truly, Love and death can't be escaped, no one can tell , when, how, or where. It is never too early or too late.LOL.
What is more important to you the love you share, the memories you have or the lover? Give love a chance to swallow you up. Don't just think it will happen in an instant, it will surprise you before you know it, but it will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have.I thank you for being so open minded and simple as me, i can promise you that the sky is the limit for us. Please let me know when you get home.
Do have a pleasant evening.
I long to read from you much much much more..
Your Prince charming
Al.

Dear XX,
It's so good to hear from you again! Why am i getting addicted to my email? lol. I get a good glow on my face just reading from you. Wonderful. How was your day?. I knew something was missing since i haven't smiled since i got home till now,lol. I was almost late for work in the morning, i woke up late, i think i am becoming restful again, Maybe i could sense something good ahead of us.
What wouldn't i do to make my dreams come true. It is like a rigger waiting for a trigger. Would you be my trigger? lol. I just need a woman to hold me before i am old. Absolutely i have come to know that we spend the most of our life seeking for the secondary needs, while our primary needs are left unseen which we can easily notice withing family and friends. We have worked so hard and attained some wealth right? but for what purpose? To be realistic, except if you just want to be known as a rich person, wealth means nothing if you have no best friend to share it with. All the millions are useless indeed. how much do we need to eat? How much do we need for shelter? how much do we need for daily fun. excess and excess leads us to vanity. But for few of us who value the simplicity, we sure would do well in finding happiness. As i always say, money can buy a good bed, but never will money buy sleep. it can buy the best diamond watch, but can never buy time, It can buy piles of books , but cant buy knowledge.. It can buy food, but not satisfaction, Money can buy sex, but can NEVER buy love. That is why , i refuse to follow the crowd, so as my own man, i would give up all that can be bought for that which cant be bought. I want true joy and happiness. I want my woman to have power over my moods,. she can make me smile in all weather.
I am glad that i could get your attention my dear. You have a special thing in your heart, and i intend to find out what it is. It could take a lifetime to figure, but i dont mind,lol. Please tell me about your ideology of life my dear.

I owe you kisses and hugs. By the way did you try the thing with the messenger yet?
I hope you had something to eat after working so hard.
Have a goodnight.

I received the exact same email from someone calling themselves Nuttysaint in NYC. After he asked me for my full name and address so that his last employer could mail his check to me and he would collect it when he returned from Turkey, I starting looking around the internet and found the above.
ReplyDeletelooks like he is under another name same script. sent about 5 emails with almost the same lingo...
ReplyDeleteDear L...
Hope you are fine and getting ready for a lovely day.It was so good to hear from you and i am very happy that we are feeling connected with each other here.
After reading the little you told me about yourself, i guess you should truly know who i am.I don't really know how this is to work, but hey! here is an exclusive. If at my age i do not know what and when to say, then what would i be? When a wise man sees he has probably spent about half of his time in life already,he begins to assess his main goals in life. What could be more important than a happy ending? LOL,.
A man needs to live his life full of joy and happiness. No matter his achievements, he is reduced to nothing if he has no crown to complete him and that is a woman to call his own wife and best friend.. A woman who knows that even while arguing they still need to hold hands. A woman whom i can call a partner in crime,lol. A woman whom you can tell anything. How could you think anything can make you happier in life than finding a love that knows no bound.
To make you know more about me,i will break this down to segments and it would be like a case study.
I was born to a loving couple, a home, by a Canadian man from Ontario and a British woman so i think my mum had more say and they had to go for a British name for me..Lol. My father was an international business man who met this British orphan whose only family were close friends. She says there was something about the man that no woman could ever resist, sometimes she says she sees same in me,lol. During my father's global movement, while i was Seventeen, i left to study and got my first degree in Civil Eng and then i later moved on to Join Ma back in the UK when my father died and she was left alone.I have a 19 year old son that is also studying civil engineering in the university.
I am a global contractor. I do basically rig constructions and renovations or over water bridges. We have worked at many countries across the globe.I am presently in the coast of Dubai on offshore at the sea working on my last project and it will be completed in few weeks. The present project is my last on the field and i shall quit field works and continue my works from my home office while my men do the field. I think i really have gotten to this height cos i embraced work for so long trying to get over my late wife, that i worked this hard, but i think i now realize i can move on.I am seriously considering buying a house in Ontario when i am done here soon.I spent a 4 weeks vacation there 2 years ago and it was the most wonderful vacation i have had in years.
I just want to spend the rest of my life enjoying the fruit of my labour. I just want a woman who would be my best friend and everything. You know someone whom we would still love each other more as the days pass by, even when we cant make love anymore and all we could do is play bingo,LOL.
I enjoy the great outdoors and pretty much all that mother nature has to offer.I particularly enjoy being on or by the water.I love dining out and long walks is fun to me, and the nature of my work has made me travel to a lot of countries.
I am in the stage of moving on in my life and only need someone who understands the value of a good smile.
I cant wait to hear back from you. Please write me soon my dear and do enjoy the rest of your day.
Your new friend,
Elthy
I´ve received this same e.mail from someone called Michael Williams. He is from LOS ANgeles,California. His e-mail is newmichael51@live.com.WATCH OUT,,,PLEASE...
DeleteI have also received the same email from Nelson Miller who claims he is in Canada (in my city) and is the CEO of a Engineering company. He even provided his site url to me. He is divorced with two boys who live with Granny and granpy...he is Italian. Very convincing. My gut said to check out the rigger and trgger stuff as I had no idea what it meant. He speaks with an Italian accent but has a new york cell number that he says i can call any time coz it is not long distance. In checking on line the area code is long distance. He own a 2014 Benz C Class. He is smooth like peanut butter. Insisted I remove my profile from the dating site very soon. Although we have not met and I am sure we never will. Thank god I googled and found out.
DeleteOMG I'm getting the same kind of emails and he says he lost his wife due to cancer and has a daughter?
DeleteI am finding myself disgusted with what I am reading here. I guess it was too good to be true but the same person who has written these has also responded to my emails. I don't know why people find it in themselves to prey on trusting people and try to make fools out of them. This "fool" is not going to be fooled by CRAIG SEDORIS!! This is the name he provides for me and has communicatd for several months. Every single email he has written is almost duplicate to the ones' I have read on here. Do not be scammed!! Shame on him or them.
ReplyDeleteI have received the exact same letters from someone calling himself Smith Marvin. He located me on FaceBook.
ReplyDeleteI've received the same from John Sergio.
ReplyDeleteSo glad i did my research. Received same emails from Mark Sasse
ReplyDeleteYup...watch out for a guy named Lucas Fredo...did the same thing...
ReplyDeleteHi can ask you a question?? Where did you met this guy name Lucas Fredo cause I had a funny feeling he is not real. He is starting emailing me and want to know me more...but I ask him how do I know if you are real. He said he is currently in South Africa finishing the job as a contractor! Its smell fishy to me!
DeleteHe's been doing the same thing to me for a month. I caught on last week when he slipped up. Then I saw these posts and recognize all of it.
DeleteLucas Fredo is still out there. He's been working my emotions for the past month and when I push back he either caves or becomes incredibly belligerent. Here we are nearly 5 years on and this guy is still out there pulling this stuff. His material hasn't changed very much though. I recognize it in every single one of these other posts. It almost verbatim like mine. Even as recently as 5:00 this morning.
ReplyDeleteAnd he got me as Michael Mincey. And I actually talked to him and he sounded German, like he said he was. I think I'm throwing in the towel on this!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks to this page I realized that I received the same email. Thanks for sharing it. He calls himself Maxwell Bruno, but he writes from this email: pedrohayden101@mail.com
ReplyDeleteI've received the same from Pedro Hayden, but he said that his real name is Maxwell Bruno. This is his last email:
ReplyDeleteHello my wonderful one. How are you today? Why am i getting addicted to my email? lol. I get a good glow on my face just waking up to read from you. My Wonderful Angel. How was your night?

I will be waiting impatiently to hear from you..all am saying regarding the emotions i feel about you is based on the emotion i perceive in you and my instinct can tell....

I received all the above emails from Lucas Fredo the only difference is I have reported him to the authorities. All emails along with his phone number.
ReplyDeleteReceived the very same wording in an email from Lucas Fredo!
ReplyDeleteAm SO pissed off!
I have received the same emails from someone named Lucas Fredo. He even sent pictures of his daughter and planned a trip to my town.

ReplyDeleteYes, I am getting the same as Gerald Dukas.
ReplyDeleteAnd now it's a girl posing as Oliverah from Rotterdam.
ReplyDeleteAnother name now but SAME words were sent to me.
ReplyDeleteI received emails and texts of the same from a Darrell Brewell in New Britain Ct
ReplyDeleteLambatScott22 has done the same used the same scripts!!
ReplyDeleteI received some of the same, but with the name Daniel Brown. I let him have it and reported him to the dating site. How do we stop them? they can just keep changing their name, and chat/emails. I feel sorry for the pictures of the innocent people they steal. All.. The Military lies too. claiming to be stationed in Greece. HA. He didn't seem real from the beginning as there was some odd ways to write. I hope there is a special place in Hell for them.
ReplyDeleteI received some of the same from Daniel Brown. Claims to be an errant soldier in Greece. something seemed off all along and then I googled the quote he wrote about Rigger or finger on the Trigger, and that is how I got here. I let him have it and blocked him. How do they get stopped? I feel bad for the ones whose pictures they use, and our Military they pretend to be. I hope there is a special place in Hell for this person or any scammers.
