He is currently on Millionaire Match under davison_s from Virgina Beach, VA. He's a busy one!!

[anonmisses]

His latest name seems to be Roger Johnson. He found me on match. His name on their was rogerseekinglove. I have already reported it to match. Claimed to be from London where his mother still lives. He was widowed because his wife died in a car accident in london 5 years ago. His 10 year old son John is with him in Africa and he is an international aid worker. cell phone number given was 2348028263617, but I never called it. email at roger.johnson20099@yahoo.com and same for yahooIM. I noticed he was on under this name this afternoon. I keep questioning his validity and he kept claiming to love me and called me sweetie. He would also ask about "his daughters", my kids. His wifes name was Joy. He said God had sent him to me and it was meant to me. He claimed to be in love with me. i kept asking for proof of who he was and asked for photos of him and John together, when he could not send them I really grea concerned. My daughter saw his face on Geraldo and freaked. That is when I started checking for scams. This one is a real charmer. He had me feeling he really loved me. He was going to come to the dallas area on September 25th. Said his son was in private christian school in africa and would like to go to school with my girls. He even sent photos of his son. They all looked so fake, I even told him they looked like model photos, he jsut took it as a compliment. I kept asking for candids and he said he didn't have a camera with him. He wanted me to let him see me on my webcam but I never did and when I asked him, he said his was broken. This guy is a professional. He never did ask me for money but I think he knew I was on to him and I told him I was very cautious and would not trust.

[Softy]

Man this guy is good. He got me for $2,000. and I am crazy I know but a sucker for a sob story. He must have a script he says the ame things to all. I met him on TRUE on July 2 as jones_steve02 then the flowers and teddy bears started...I too was sent to him by God.
My daughter in law found this sight and I almost fainted. I was warry of him and his instant love but felt sorry for him.
I informed TRUE but again his picture is up there as "livingagoodlife" I bet he is if any one else was as dumb as I. I am willing to do anything it takes to proscute this worm. He needs to be stopped. He contacts me every day still and still needs 100 dollars to leave there. He has also called me several times. Please feel free to e mail me anytime.

[b_smarter0202]

Hey, WARNING, WARNING,WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!He's back and this time using the name, williamsjoe02... IM'ed me on yahoochat and sent me his pic's and then started with the sob story about how he was mugged and had no friends, family or money left . Then of course the story about how he has to get out to Nigeria because there is work for him and he starts begging for money for air fare, etc. etc. I knew he was a fake right away and didn't give him any personal info.

This is the address he gave me: NAME: AUSTINE OSAS ADDRESS: NO 7EMMANUEL STR STATE: LAGOS CITY: AGEGE ZIP CODES: 23401 COUNTRY: NIGERIA.


Be careful ladies!! He's still out there and very active!!!!!!!

[victella]

hi folks well I can assure you this scammer is well and truly still active and in contact with me daily, before I realized what he was he got me for ?200, money I couldnt afford - and whats worse he knew that, Im awaiting a magor opp you see and cant work too much, but hey there is no fool like an old fool as they say, anyway im now in contact with my local police about him and they have said to get as much info as possible about him so Ill give you some too. known to me as MARK PAULSON son of recently deseaced BARRY ROLLAND PAULSON -- that was how he got me saying his dad was in hospital with kidney failure and they wouldnt opperate without money, his father was stuck out in Nigeria of corse and good son Mark flew out to his rescue.
MARK supposedly lives in ALBANY NY STATE USA and worked for PIONEER SAVING BANK also in ALBANY NY he supposedly lost his wife and son 10 yrs ago in horrific car crash now all alone because origonally from THESSALONIKI GREECE but moved as child (but this varies from time to time) and knows none of surviving relatives, was supposed to visit with poor dearly departed dad later this year. I have been sent all of the photos here on this site of him, and one or two new ones as well will try to get them to you as he only tempts me with them from time to time. in the mean time he contacted me after I just mailed to say nice smile on FREEDATING.COM under handle of GENTLMARK and we use livingagoodlifex@yahoo.com to e-mail and livingagoodlifex@hotmail.com to MSN I also have phone numbers 00234-8035688483 this was supposed to be a hospital and was answered as such! and 00234-8066772755 his fathers attorny and finally last night he gave me an address to send mail to and that is :- 1 SERETIRE STR. IFAKO IJAYE , OGBA , LAGOS [color=red][/color
]THIS GUY IS SO CONVINCING SO SEEMINGLY GENUINE AND SO DAMN GOOD AT THIS HE COULD CHARM THE FEATHERS OF A BIRD ------- SO PLEASE LADIES DONT FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM ------ AS I HAVE DONE!!!! cos he WILL cut you to pieces and then laugh as he hangs you out to dry. So now he reckons he is stuck out in Lagos without a penny and I must help to stop him starving and also get him flown out of that place-- ye right!!!
In the mean time if I have any developments Ill let you know

[Softy]

Oh my dear I am so sorry you fell inlove with him. He continues to contact me every day also as jones_steve02. All he got from me was money and that is even dumber than falling in love. I sent it when I didn't trust him. I am trying to figure out a way to get to him but the FBI says just quit talking to him. From what they tell me there is nothing we can do. Just remember what we have learned and remember those darling pictures are not the person you are talking to. I wonder if that guy knows how many women his face has conquered?
Let me know if anyone else has been had by this jerk!

This scammer contacted me on Yahoo IM, using a different picture of Rick from Focus Hawaii and the Yahoo ID robertfreeman4real. The profile states that he's 35, from Holland and is a (his sp) a "bussiness man" When I told him I knew he was a scammer and that he stole this picture, he admitted that he was a scammer and his name is Emannuel and he's a "poor boy from Nigeria" and he's "tried to get a job". I then told him then that makes it okay to steal from women. Then he had the nerve to want to add me to my Yahoo IM list! The nerve of him! I told him I was broke and contrary to what he was told, not all AMericans are rich. That was the last I heard from him.

[mjhchenille]

I was also contacted by Fred Clonel, log home builder from Wisconsin. In Nigeria with 15 y.o. son Henry who needed medical attention for the hole in his heart. Said his parents are dead and wife took his money and ran away. Very poor grammar and spelling. I said I could send prayers but not money. When I asked how he could IM if he and son were living on the street, he has not contacted me since. Gave phone as 0112348067833689. I never called. Said he was in Lagos and trying to get home but Embasy could not help as they had run out of money. Can you believe it??

[astraea2u]

He is still working it ladies....

Contacted me through myspace.com as Samuel Wilson. I am posting my reply to his inquiry. Uses Rick's picture from focushawaii.com in his email. So far, he has many identities, with me he has used Fred_Clonel45@yahoo.com (match.com) and now Samuel Wilson (myspace.com)


You can't intimidate someone who is already in telecommunications!

Nor can you intimidate someone where you download pictures from focushawaii.com. You have been reported as a "known" romance scammer (you are all over the net my inquiring scammer, specifically portraying yourself as a Caucasian male from Nigeria! Here me loud and clear:

DO NOT MAKE ANY FURTHER CONTACT ME WITH, AS I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED YOU TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES AT THIS SITE AND THE FBI.

[shartravel]

NO! NO! Gals! This is Jack Williams from dworldofwilliams@yahoo.com. (His email addy WAS jack2williams@yahoo.com until his account was mysteriously deleted one day!) I have been talking to him almost everyday for over 5 months! (I don't see how to upload his picture here, but I've got a cute one you may not have seen! Haha!)

He is from Cedar Lake IN, & is in Lagos, Nigeria because he took over his father's crude oil business 3 1/2 yrs ago, when his father died: WILLIAMS OIL VENTURES. His mum is from & still lives in Milan Spain. Parents separated when he was 3, then divorced. Neither of them ever remarried, because they both had hopes they would get back together some day! (AaaaH!) He was in a boarding school in Dakkar Senegal his WHOLE life. Then, he attended 4 yrs of college in Dakkar as well.

He has NEVER been married & has NO children. He dated a gal when he was 18 & her older sister came onto him, so he got involved with her also; until the younger sister found out! Then he lost them both! The only other lady he has ever been involved with (in his WHOLE life) was a gal from KY which he met while he was living in the UK, about 5 yrs ago. They were 'together' about 3 yrs & she got involved with a black guy in Africa... she travelled there often on business. (He saw a picture of the guy, then, she called out the guy's name, during sex... that's how he found out about the guy!) He was so deeply hurt, it took him 3 yrs to recover, as a man. Even now, he cannot even say her name, 'cuz he doesn't want to remember her.

He found me on Hi5, (& sent me a scripted message), at the darkest time of his life! He is going to retire his business in Lagos (the crude oil one, that is) by the end of Dec '06 & will come to Oregon to be with me! He wants to marry me in January & honeymoon in the Bahamas. But he has had a run of hard luck (which goes on & on) & is just now recovering from Malaria! He needs money now to pay the doctor... and then there is the one day stay in the hospital too...

I have a business address & a residence address, plus a cell phone number he readily answers! (Actually, I have located 6 phone numbers he uses, & 4 addresses so far! As for personnas... I have found 69 so far ~ & I have only known he was a scam~man for 72 hours!) Yesterday was his birthday, & he just turned 46 (well, I think it was!!! Haha!)

Sheeze... I guess if you're gonna be scammed, it is some consolation to know you have been scammed by a pro! And WHY is he 'so good'? I guess his 10 yrs of experience must be his greatest asset, because he can't spell, and is not articulate, except for the little scripted poems & pros he inserts now & then (out of context). AND... the more arrows you shoot... the more times you are apt to hit the target! (He does help me win at pool by shooting some of my balls in for me!)

I will post a list of names, addresses & phones numbers as soon as I complete my 'research'.

Sighs... Shar
