I recieved this email from a reader regarding a scammer named Christian (Chris) Adams. here is the email and details:
Hi, I have recently found your site & was blown away by the things men have said in their emails. Also the names they call you like queen & angel...this sounds so much like the man I have been chatting with online since 2nd July 2011.
He claims he was born in Deer Park Vic Australia, but lived most of his life in Rockhampton QLD Australia. Australian born Mother from Perth WA & father Italian, both deceased & has a son 21yrs old, but does not live with him, divorced. First he contacted me on Plenty Of Fish Australia & then moved quickly to Yahoo Mail then IM. (his profile was removed after he contacted me) He was on Facebook & has several photos, I have copies but the profile has been removed now. Claims he is in love & has a long story...he was hospitalized in California with Type 2 diabetes... but many complications. (By the way this has been going on for months) Being sick in different hospitals, had to have an operation and even though I was Never asked for money...the hints were there. Had a bad habit of disappearing for nearly 2 weeks at a time. Unreachable! Said he was unable to contact me because he was in the hospital & Lost his mobile somewhere & no money to call me.
He said that he was in California on business (was bidding on a contract for construction machinery) & had been living in the UK where he has a property up for sale! (cannot get the money for the sale of his property until March 2012) Gave me a phone number in California 001114158529860. I have only ever managed once to get through to him & he had a very strong accent...Not Italian. Then a man called dickson_idahosa@yahoo.com was trying to contact me on IM. I had blocked him as I did not know who he was. Then I got an email said he had been trying to contact me in regards to Chris. He was back in another hospital & if I knew any of his friends or relatives here in Australia...as he needed help to get back home and he had huge bills there in the states. Dickson had a sister Carmen Bodie & asked if I could send money in her name (Western union) I did send $200 STUPID ME...as I believed he was very ill.
