Scammers with pictures of John from FH, part 1

[Jane56]

I met a joneskelly247@yahoo.com. He came on loving me from my pictures right away. Said he hadn't been with anyone since his wife died and he was so in love with me and would marry me. Wanted to meet. I did not feel comfortable. Then a week later he told me his daughter is dying of cancer. He wanted to borrow money. He said he was from New Jersey in the beginning. He told me he had already borrowed against his home for his daughter and his business in Italy was going down because he was always in the hospital. I did not have any money. He was pretty upset that I didnt care about him and his family. Later he did apologize.
I wonder if these are the same person because they are an older person and looks like two different people:

This jerk goes by the name Barry Smith also. His email addy is barry_s47@yahoo.com. There is a underscore after barry. 1st time i talked to him i knew he was a scammer. I met him on singles net. Told me he was from Alanreed Taxas after asking him repeatedly where from the U.S. he was from. He told me his poor mom was sick with cancer and asked me for money. hes said he needed 800 dollars and wed only been talking for five minutes and he put those falling heart imvironments on. So i told him Id send him the money if he sent me some pics of him, hence the pictures I posted. The adress he wanted me to Western union the money to is: Barry Smith lagos nigeria 23401. IP adress is: 44.222.40.165 So this one will be waiting a long time for me to send money.

This guy just tried to scam me. He called himself Bryan Samuel Anthony. Said he was from Ireland. He contacted me from Yahoo Personals. He went off right after.........told me he deleted his profile because of me. Now know that it was more than likely deleted. He used the email joywealthsbc@yahoo.com. Luckily I figred it out fairly soon. He said he owned a home in Oro Grande. My real estate friend looked it up and there was no listing for a home belonging to a Bryan Anthony there.

He has a website on myspace:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu ... =312106216

Has also told me he's a Football agent and had 2 soccer players he was bringing back to the US. He them told me he got robbed and need me to put up one of the soccer players in my home.

I'm going to tell him to go to his local WU and I'll wire him money. He's going to look like a fool standing there for nothing.

[LA90077]

Thought I'd share a scammer from a gay site (bearwww.com)

Username was Tommy222 and he was listed as from Valencia CA
I messaged him and he sent me his MSN account/email address:

tomidemorgan002@hotmail.com

His photo from Bearwww.com was:



I did find it as "John" on the FocusHawaii site

My first IM with "Tommy" last night was suspect from the start. He quickly got into his occupation

tomidealonge says (11:31 PM): am into business
LA90077 says (11:32 PM):Any particular kind of business?
tomidealonge says (11:33 PM):am into raw gold business'
tomidealonge says (11:33 PM): so am presently in west africa for my raw gold business

Then after some pleasantries he got right into the scam

tomidealonge says (11:43 PM): can you do me a favour?
LA90077 says (11:43 PM): What is it?
tomidealonge says (11:45 PM): due to lack of online banking in africa the banks here refused to cash my check and i need some cash for my shippment , can i trust you with my check?

I was silent at this point - he nudged me

tomidealonge just sent you a nudge.
tomidealonge says (11:47 PM):
are you still there?
LA90077 says (11:47 PM): Sorry guy, really don't want to get involved in any money transactions with someone I've never met

And after a couple other tries to assure me that he was interested in me; he just signed off.

The photo he used on his MSN Messenger was this photo (also found on FocusHawaii)



I reported the incident to the webmaster at Bearwww and he promptly removed the account. Just figured I'd post the info here so others won't fall victim.

Here the story:
He contacted me about match.com and it was a very charming mail. I resposed and we meet in the yahoo messenger, a few calls to London and he called me. Jerry or James, however, is employed , and owner of a gallery in London, widowed, father of a 15 year old girl, her name is Sarah. He was travelling to France, called me from there. He offert me after a few days to support me with 70 000 usd to invest in business. My first mind was: When he will ask me about money? It happend really fast: He travelled to Nigeria and contacted my by phone. The next morning he told me, he is in trouble to pay the taxes for the ship where in are his goods, he bought. If I can borrow him 5 000 USD. I negotiated with him, now its only 250 USD he needs! All the time I explained him that I don´t have any money. He was sending me sooo romantic mail, completly in love with me and want to marry on with me! But in one mail he used a wrong name ( my name is NOT Christine), or he mixed up man and woman in a wrong way. The phon number is a mobil in Nigeria, even his number from UK is knowed as to conducting calls where ever you want.

Pictures? Of course, I have will show you
Copy of chatting? YEs
Ip Adress? Not yet, working for

But I´m interested about your minds! Let me now if I´m right with my
suspections!

Here are the mails:

Dear christine,
Baby, I can never explain the feeling I have had over this last week, it seems months, maybe it is because every moment you have been gone has been filled with memories playing over and over in my mind, beautiful memories. The fear that clenches my stomach is beyond comprehension, to live another day with out you would not be living, you are my breath, my pulse, you make me whole.
At night I am afraid to go to bed, though I am so weary from emotion. When I fall, I wake when it is still dark and try as I might to go back to sleep, I cling to my pillow and know that I must occupy my mind to keep from dying of pain. All the things I have seen, everything I have believed in, my instincts and knowledge guide me. For the first time in my life I felt like a real person, knew my life was about to change, to become normal with no more pain, and then the worst agony that I could ever imagine replaced that joy that was to be. I fill my days with anything I can possibly do, I don't stop, as though I am running from the thoughts of you trying to bring my tears. The house is immaculate and renovated, my muscles are sore from exercise, I have seen every movie currently in the cinema and been to every shop in town. But no matter what I do, you are right in front of me, everything reminds me. Romantic movies, the things we were going to buy, you are in every corner of my house.
The little heart cushion in my shower to the balcony, to the street, to the stars, Baby! I am exhausted and tonight I stopped running and it caught me, the tears won't stop and I am so afraid... where are you, when are you coming home, are you coming home to me? or i should come to you?
Sweetheart, give me a good answer to this! Please!! I beg with all I have and as I have said, promise you a lifetime of happiness and love. Lets dance on the moon together. You are all there is, I neither need nor want anything else at all. You are my heaven on earth and I need to live there, if you go ... I need to as well, I have two angels and I need to be with one of them.
I am empty; fill me with passion for life bcos my heart deserves it once again ... please.

Love always,
James Jerry..


2.

Every night when I close my eyes, you fill my heart with joy, and every morning when I open my eyes, you're the first thing on my mind, more than just a dream of what will probably never be. I'm in love with you - of that I'm sure, but I want to hold you, to kiss you, and adore you....
If you'll be mine, you'll make me the happiest woman in this world, if you turn me away, I'll be dying. But either way, you'll always be the greatest love of all that I've ever had.

Love always,


When someone is interrested to read the chat, let me know!
Now I have to find out how to upload the pics!

Thanky

This guy is in a lot of websites. Wonder if it's the same man? Or if other men are using the same picture?

I was thinking about calling the local police and telling them the story. Maybe they can work w/the Nigerian police and set up a Western Union where I'll tell him I'll be sending the money and bust him.

I don't think we should be wasting out precious time talking online for weeks with a jerk like him.

[flagal]

The local police won't do anything, I was sent a phony cashier's check for 10,600 called the bank it was written on, they told me they would give the info to the FBI and that was 2 months ago, I have never heard from them, I feel that mostly the same man uses the picture, as their stories are exactly like other ones, the only thing they change is their name, at least by keeping them tied up for a couple of weeks, another innocent woman like myself will not get scam.

Those are different scammers. The pictures are from focushawaii.com agency, which is very popular among Nigerian scammers, half of Nigeria is using FH.

They sound the same because Nigerians in general sound the same.
