pictures are stolen from Dr. Mark S., who has chosen to stay anonymous



- where did you meet him?
sg.match.com.

- his profile details, especially location, occupation and personal description
First knew him as user: 101ssargo, calls himself Arrigo Carlo, widower with daughter who is supposedly in boarding school. Interior designer for commercial properties. Originally from Italy, born in Poland, living in London before moving to Singapore.
- 6ft 2in, blue eyes, brown hair, Gemini, Conservative

Suspected he's a scam because under his new new profile user:markpaeds64, he is now from Gothenburg, Sweden.
6ft 1in / 5ft 11in, brown eyes, widowed for 6 years, Leo, Liberal, Occupation now under Medical / Dental / Veterinary


Profile description for user: 101ssargo

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I would describe myself as an honest, sincere and loyal individual. I have a big heart, am easy going, have a great sense of humor, and genuine. Communication, good morals and integrity and a good sense of humor are important qualities to me. My friends describes me as intense, spontaneous, passionate, creative, thoughtful, genuine, caring, generous, and funny. I am a positive, happy, fun person. I love life and love people. I love making others smile and laugh and I am often smiling and laughing myself. I am adventurous and curious and love to do and learn new things. I am self-confident, honest, genuine, generous, and caring. I love doing nice things for others, sometimes without them knowing. I enjoy working together with others to achieve a set outcome and I believe I will enjoy that in a personal relationship as well.

I am looking for a woman who above all is honest, likes to laugh and joke around and be silly at times,yet knows when to be serious, is direct and straightforward and can talk about most anything with her man. I want us to be the best of friends, who can't wait to be with each other. Someone that doesn't look so much into what they are doing as much as who they are doing it with, with the right person anything can be fun, even doing nothing at all. Someone who likes to cuddle, hold hands when walking, not afraid to show affection I believe partners should respect, trust, compliment and bring out the best in each other. You should have a strong connection with your family and understand the importance of that.

I need someone serious, matured and know what it is to be in love not just one make up face girl, saying I love I love you and its all ends up I another divorce someone who can be comfortable at an important public function but has no problem getting sand between her toes at the beach!
Sure enough of herself to open herself to loving and caring about that special man in her life and Intelligent, funny, honest and responsible
yeah, a woman who can communicate what she desires and has the ability to listen, won't be as a playmate and also she need to be ready to for commitment if the relationship matures I am a very passionate man, and I need a passionate woman to be my partner,someone who is romantic, and thoughtful when its the right time, I like touching and being touched,caressing and being held or just holding hands while watching a movie or sitting.

- his letters

Hello XXX,

How are you doing today? Hope you are had a beautiful day. I am glad to hear from you and knowing you a bit more. I am not sure what your intentions might be joining the dating world but for me, this is about meeting that special someone i will most likely passionately connect with. I have heard stories about online dating and some how i have developed some believes that this could really work for me. I hope you understand, Maybe you could share a little light on what your intentions might be and what kind of man your heart mostly desires to find. I might be the one i might not but i suppose there's only one way to find out right? I understand that for every successful relationship there has to be a very well structured foundation of friendship but still, it's important that we understand what our hearts mostly desires. I want an honest,faithful and trustworthy woman, who know what it means to be a woman, who understands what it means to be in love and make me feel at home and I will make her happy everyday of our lives together. I hate mind games, life is too short for it. There are many places I would love to travel to one day, many things I love to do, but it really is more fun when one has the "right” person to share these with! I love taking off for the day and just exploring new places, or a weekend trip! I love being romantic--holding hands, candlelight dinners for two, and pleasing the woman I care about. Mutual respect is very important to me. I am no stranger to the kitchen - I enjoy cooking as long as there is someone to share a cocktail and engage in sparkling conversation. In cooking, like most things in life, the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination. I enjoy a good bottle of wine or cup of coffee with that special someone. I love to snuggle and cuddle up with a great movie, especially when it rains. Really i love romance and just getting lost in that special someone's eyes as we talk and laugh. I enjoy meeting people and enjoy a variety of recreational activities. My favorite outdoor activities are exploring, hiking, camping, canoing, bicycling, motorcycle riding, fishing and sightseeing. I am an interior designer, mainly on commercial properties. I moved here about 4 months ago. I am starting my company here. Those are pictures of my family. One with my only brother and his wife. one with my mom and my brother, one with my late Dad and the other with my daughter. My dad passed away last year. My brother works offshore in Libya. Him and his wife works in the same company, usually in Poland every other 4months to see my mom. My daughter is a boarding school. Usually here only on Holidays...That is much about my family, Well I have never told anyone about my family just this soon. I feel we are connecting very well. I would love to know much about you also..smile. I would love to know you better. In the meantime, Have a great night. Looking forward to hearing from you. Bye for now. Arrigo

- any additional info

He created new profile under username: markpaeds64 (this profile is still on match.com but appears to be inactive)

Profile description for markpaeds64:

I am Originally from Gothenburg, Sweden. I come from a family of 3. I am 6"1. tall, Brown eyes, widowed for 6 years. A loss that has greatly affected my life and career.

I'm somewhat of an amateur musician. I play the Guitar and I play the piano at the house.
I love the singing of birds, freshness of the beach air and the silent sound of water soft splash on a surf. I am fond of children, animals, music, reading, traveling,cooking,gardening and singing. I'm a person who has courage and will-power to withstand difficulties and strenuous routines in life.

I Work hard and play hard.I love cultural diversity and learning new things. I like to be spontaneous and enjoy the present moments. I desire the same. I need someone that can socialize and entertain, be elegant and sophisticated, and enjoy downtime with phones off, a pizza, a fire and a movie. Gimme a nice relaxing tropical island or the dog park, I am adaptable. Most important to me is to have someone special by my side that is as proud of me and being with me as I am with her. I am looking for a woman who loves her culture and will love to share with me happily.

I'm romantic if I must say and easygoing and I'm not afraid to take chances in life, I believe in miracles, endless love,fate and I value honesty. Everyday I wake I learn more but myself and my experiences either good or bad keeps me going.

You should be warned that I like to laugh and think two people should have fun together - I'm always surprised at people who have forgotten how to play and joke. I love deep, serious conversations, especially by a fire and with wine, but I'm equally up for puns and word play. There is nothing more romantic that a woman who makes me laugh. I love fun as well. We can dance in the rain and giggle like school kids. I enjoy beach walking as well. I love the cool winds and sea breezes, It brings back memories i have long lost.
I'm full of life and hungry to love and ready for a long term relationship. If you find my profile and it interest you , Please feel free to drop me a note.

Postby SadSmarter » Tue Jul 30, 2013 9:34 am

I don't know if its the same scammer... but he used the photos of Dr. Mark S.

My beloved scammer used the name: Marty Williams in netlog.com; but he erased his profile when we meet in 15 July, 2013.

Borned in 1965, Widow since 2007, with a ten years old daughter... He lives in UK, is the owner of "Big Green Construction" that constructs bridges, roads in many parts of the world, and a week ago he went to Accra, Ghana to sign a contract, when he suddenly was involved in a car accident and of course... like on his "diary" I'm his "next to kind" the African doctor (from "The Holy Trininty Clinic" a Hospital´s name that really exists) called me asking for money for the hospital´s fee... Like I didn't send anything and I asked his passport number and another real data, suddenly the doctor e-mailed me (holytrinityclinic@dr.com) and informed me, that "the british citizen" had enough cash to pay the hospital´s bill in his wallet.

Since then, my beloved scammer, has been trying to making me feel guilty for not support him... I haven't give them any money, but as this page warns, they insist and make a wider spiderweb of lies... He already needs another surgery... so he ask me for help, but I told him that I didn´t believe him, he probably was a scammer (because the british embassy warned me about)... Of course, he get upset, dissapointed and...even, he sent me his passport number (I haven't check it yet) in order to prove me he is real, and the situation's authenticity...
And we're in this point of the scam!... :( and sometimes, I just stand up and think... and if this is real??? I feel so stupid!! :'(... Certainly its a great history!



Martin Adams Williams or Martin Adams Phillips, use skype and videocam... he is the same guy that used arrigocarlo368@yahoo.com photos (he's posted here by that e-mail also)... HE ALREADY DOESN'T USES LETTERS... he chat in facebook and uses skype!

I'm sure, that arrigocarlo368@yahoo.com is the same that my scammer who has two emails: whitejim@live.com and mart_adams@hotmail.com, because there are the same photos, that Arrigo Carlo used: Dr. Mark S

The videoconference had bad sound... but it corresponded with the video (that really cheated me!!)... and the voices were the same in videoconference than phone calls by skype.

He has a strange accent, like I'm not english spoken, I couldn't recognize... but he showed me his e-mail inbox and I saw there emails in russian... yes, he tried to show me how honest he was, and he asked me to show him my inbox (by webcam) and he gave me his password in correspondance (of course, his inbox was suspiciously clean).

He is VERY SMART!... He really seems TO FEEL THE HISTORY, even I suspect parts of the history are real, and he only "make up it" in each new profile (I was reading the arrigocarlo348@yahoo.com post).


The whole histories are congruent between them: Caucasian, he was borned in Italy, lived in Russia (or Poland), tall, blond-gray hair, brown eyes, good looking... widow, lives in UK. He uses a cell phone with UK Code.

I discovered several aliases and sites, the same scammer uses:

site: alias and generals: e-mail:
Netlog Marty_Williams, UK, Cardiff, Civil Engennieer whitejim@live.com
Facebook Mark Vasin, UK, Cardiff, whitejim@live.com
Facebook Martin Adams, UK, Cardiff, Civil Engennieer mart_adams@hotmail.com
2gether.com.ua Richard123, UK (no more data)
Vk.com Calvin Dickson, UK, Liverpool

He used a pre-paid phone card to call me, that situates him in Abuja, Nigeria.
If you wish, I can provide the telephone numbers.

Greetings!

This person is said to be Gabriel Smith , 50, Engo . Civil from Miami but lives in Orlando , is a company of construction material , widower, orphan of father and mother, a brother Gilbert 40 years , with a 8 year old daughter Isabel , 14 days ago I'm talking to him every day by email and whats up , I'm sure it's coup , has said that to him and he insists that not even sent me flowers today from abroad as floriculture guy told me , e - mail it is g_smith0511@hotmail.com , to the phone is (786) 4531672 , ( I already called this number twice and he answered me ) the address , 9400 Universal Blvd . Apt 511 , Orlando - FL ZIP : 32819, ( already went to see in Google Earth and this address is a convention center with the same number 9400 ) has also questioned him and he said it was next to this complex , because the knowledge in suspicious parperfeito.com.br and match.com and he saw ( make partnerships ) , because in the past I have tried to give a blow and the person acted the same way with the same features of it , and I did not fall , I have spoken with him about this supposed coup and I asked 20,000.00 and he has the same similarities , widow , a daughter , canceled the profile on the site the next day we started talking , I could never turn the cam that was broken , always sent the same photos , Gabriel has called this the cam twice after much prodding me and both times it was less than a minute and hung up saying that it was a bad connection via Skype , but the picture looked a recording of him talking nonstop , made gestures of a bye and he turned off the cam , said that his mic was so bad I could not hear him , but then it got to rambling on cam ? And yesterday , even though this scammer that I had already told the whole story to him he came to me for 6000.00 to pay a fee of land he wants to buy here in Brazil to build a family business of construction material , said that a lawyer was seeing him in RJ , that he would pay me when he got here , I asked that this charge was and he could not explain , so I told him that when he got here we both were going to the RJ for me to talk personally with that lawyer and that he should not pay anything without knowing what it was , and then again I said he was a con man who was acting as the other , and he became very angry with me flipping the game , of course not given money will not give anything , but he has not gone , keeps sending me emails and messages all day , he said he comes to Brazil in late October , and so far have not bought the ticket, said he had seen the Air France the best price , but I went on the website and they have no flight to Orlando SP , only winding me and I pretend to believe to see how far it goes. Today Ips tracked all of the emails he sent me and that's how I realized that uses several different IPs and these IPS has denounces Scrammers using the same IP.

A.k.a. Humbly Walter.
He came to me on a FB, we had a chat and then he suggested to use yahoo messenger and a web cam (which conveniently has not been working). He definitely has a lot on his hands, he couldn't remember the details of the conversation, has lots of excuses not to use webcam, his UK phone answered only when i said i'm calling him, his English is not good (misprints, grammar mistakes), he has a low voice and and an accent. The "story" is merely the same - widower with a daughter, constructing company, etc. He's very practical - started to ask questions about my year income and so on... He got very angry when I suggested to send me the copy of his passport to prove that he is not a scam )))

I wish i knew about this site earlier - at least i'll have my 2 nights of a good sleep ))))) Thanks to Kirylya for the link!

He contacted me on Jeevansathi.com (a famous Indian matrimonial site)

His emails me from smithbrooks35@yahoo.com. I search his email id on face book and found it is going to some Ehikioya David who lives in Nigeria. I reply to him asking if he knew Ehikioya David...my bad..he became alert and changed his email id on Jeevansathi to smithbrooks3@yahoo.com, and created a new FB account with the new email address :cry:

Well, I suppose it's time for me to make an appearance. I am the real person who's identity these creeps have assumed, and I would just like to apologize that you all have been involved in these online scams. I admit, when I opened my Facebook page years ago, I left it wide open for anyone to see because I was also using it as a business page, and this is how these scammers obtained my pictures initially. I had no idea people actually did this at the time. My profile has since been locked down, but I am approached at least once per week by new people being contacted by new fake profiles (Facebook and dating sites) using my pictures. My images are out there now and I don't know what can be done about it. I am happy that many people have found this site before they were victimized.

I shut down at least 4 or 5 Facebook pages every week that pop up with my pictures, but they continue to create new ones. So please, please, please report any and all scammer profiles to Facebook or whatever dating site you find them on. And if anyone ever tracks down one of these bast#$@s, please forward their info to me as I would love to pay them a visit. Always remember to NEVER send anyone money that you don't know, regardless of how nice or genuine they seem to be. These guys are pros, that's for sure.

Be careful out there, and if anyone has any ideas about how to stop these creeps, I'm willing to do what I can.

Mark

. . . if anyone has any ideas about how to stop these creeps, I'm willing to do what I can.
Exposure - so that suspicious victims are likely to discover the scam BEFORE they send money, is the best way to stop the scammers. They will have to stop using your pictures when the danger for them is that they'll invest time and effort into their scam and not get a payoff. Having your stolen images here is the best and fastest way we know.

Also, what you have been doing might seem a little like Don Quixote battling windmills but getting their fake accounts removed quickly alerts potential victims and also lets the scammers know that the pictures have been exposed. The downside to that is that it takes the scammer less than 10 minutes to create new profiles and they tell would-be victims their old account was hacked - which also covers for their story when they try to convince the victim that they are really talking with the real you. It's tricky trying to stay a step ahead of these guys.

Select the option to be notified whenever someone posts in this thread. That will at least alert you to new fake profiles or ones you haven't found yet.

Last, when victims contact you, send them here and let us set them straight. It's what we're here for.
