Arthur Hampus

Postby afassetta » Mon Oct 26, 2015 10:48 pm

I have just scrolled through these pages. I was contacted by the same person using pictures of Dr. Smith. He was going by the name of Arthur Hampus. I don't see that name showing up here in any forum. His seduction was the same as all others so I won't repeat here. He said he was a widower with a 12 year old daughter living in Wales as he worked as a Civil Engineer here in Houston. 52 years old. (Sorry Dr. Smith) We texted and used Yahoo Messenger for a long while. Then we were going to meet and he suddenly had to go to India to secure a contract, etc. We did not talk on the phone until 2 months later when his 'daughter' was in an accident and in the hospital. Yes, he/they are very clever. And I tried at least once a week to google him and follow every link to his name I could find but all checked out as he said. Very, very smart. And while I am in the 'target' age range, I am by no means computer illiterate having working in IT for a major oil company in Houston for 22 years before retirement. I thought I was protecting myself. It's a long story but after his 'daughter' was injured, he needed money. I did lose some money, not a huge amount. But small amounts over a 9 month period. The whole scam lasted 11 months. I was getting suspicious in the last 2 months and stepped up my efforts to prove he was fake or not. The one piece of knowledge I did not possess was how to google an IMAGE. It wasn't something we did at work and I had never needed to do it. But one day I read a reference to 'googling' an image and I sat down and did just that. I was amazed. It led me to this site. And the rest is history. Painful but history. The images were of Dr. Mark Smith and the daughter's was of Dr. Smith's niece. Yes, it hurt. And like Dr. Smith said in a post here it wasn't the money or the scam (hey, I'm human), it was the loss of something I thought I had found. I was just coming off of a 30 year relationship and I needed to feel that love again. But lesson learned. All of the images I have are already on here. I have never seen his name associated with any other scams. Which I think is odd. I will provide any information I still have if you need it. As of now he has a Badoo account, a Linkedin account and a Google+ account all under Arthur Hampus. I have reported it. I have also had around 5-10 fake profiles taken off of FB but as you say they pop up as quickly as you report them. You cannot do anything about the Google+ fake accounts if you are not Dr. Smith. He is the only one who can request removal. I even had a fake profile with Dr. Smith picture show up in my "People You May Know" feed on FB just the other day...LOL... I reported it. I do believe though that IF FACEBOOK HAD LEFT DR. SMITH'S PAGES ALONE, IT WOULD HAVE/STILL WOULD PREVENT A LOT OF SUFFERING. If you want any other information, just let me know.

Thank you. I will heal I know. I am very resilient. It is just hard to be deceived as you well know. You have to fight the heartache and the tendency to blame yourself. But it can be overcome. This started on October 3, 2014 and it ended on August 31, 2015 when I told him goodbye in an email and then blocked everything from him. Almost 2 months on, I am doing very much better. I will survive and thrive....wiser than before. I have a good support system and a large family. I just feel so bad for those who don't have that to support them through the bad times. And I feel bad for Dr. Smith, a totally innocent victim of these scum. I want to thank you for being there because I think the worse thing is not having anyone to talk to about it. I mean someone who could understand. I can't talk to my children because they look up to me and I don't want them to think me a fool. I raised them as a single mom for most all their life. I don't think myself a fool but I couldn't stand if they did. So thank you for being there for all of us. It means more than you probably know.

Here are the Skype ID's I have...

281-849-4995

coolmartyy17
Perth, Au

His email was arthurhampus@gmail.com

At one point, I sent some money to Paris, France and then to Johannesburg, SA
The phone numbers I had were 281-849-4995 (which he said was disconnected) and then 713-999-3237.
He also had an international number +447937420510.

Whenever I sent money, it was always to another person. Several in fact. If their names would help, I could look them up. I kept every receipt I had..


That's all I have...

We will never know their real identities due to the huge disorganization after The Biafrian war when tones of documents got destroyed and in between it a lot of the official records. It isn't uncommon for people to run about with 3-4 different Nigerian passports and no one thinks anything is wrong. It is easy for someone that doesn't want to be found to swap names. To arrest someone they have to commit a crime that is recognized in the country where they are physically and you have to be a member of a nation with a mutual extradition treaty. You also have to have very good evidence that you are after the right person. Countries are very reluctant to deport one of their own unless you can prove 1000% you have the right person.

What you need to do is file IC3 ( link in my previous post) and as soon as you will get confirmation number and password from FBI you should try to contact South African Police - a cyber crime unit. You should call them up or try to email your report with IC3 complaint number included. South African police is able to access international data base and view the report. Perhaps there is more of those names at other victims reports and they may initiate investigation.

The next step is to contact WU and MG ( not sure which of those you used to send money ) on their websites and request the transfer inquiry where and who picked up the money. I know that is almost impossible to get those reports without a court subpoena, but I was able to get it after I wrote that I was a victim of the scam and filed IC3 and need to have that info in my report. Good luck to you and I am sorry what you going through. It will get better soon.
