Facebook removes scammer Michael Stanford and he could not send a request to me again even if he sees my page because I reported him and blocked him. He has been sending me emails but I didn't reply since I found out that he used me as a mule.
Details taken from Facebook before I reported him: Michael Stanford, went to 4-H Military Partnership, from Indianapolis, Indiana, lives in Tripoli, Libya (later removedwhen I asked if he really lives in Libya)

No I live in Indianapolis but currently in Kobane for a rescue mission
Hmmm... Am surgeon, working with the united nations and currently on a rescue mission in kobane... I'm single and no kids
No... I have had the facebook for long time, but don't really use it because of the situation here
I just felt bored tonight and couldn't sleep so i thought i should come on here
Tell me why are you having doubt about me?
Well you are right i don't really have time to always come online here... Its very late here and like i told you i couldn't sleep and that was why am here
I've never been married but i had a very long relationship for about 6 years, but i lost her during child labor and ever since i have been single
I'm an orphan my dear I never knew who my parents was I grew up in an orphanage home
Well i see you as a simple lady, you are beautiful and i have this feelings you are a good person
Well am not looking for a girlfriend but someone i will spend the rest of my life with
I'm trying to get a phone and some necessary stuffs i need here... I have a friend who wants to help me, but in a tight position that he can't go out... So he needs someone that has a pay pal account so that he can send the money to the person then you will help me send it to the person that will help me get the phone and other things i need
He lives in Turkey.... you will send it to the person through western union in Turkey
Okay.. am giving the person your account now... He will send 500$ and be rest assured its not illegal or bad... I'm a Christian and can never involve myself in anything that is not right
(The person is not a he, but a lady who is probably a victim sent me $500.00 USD through PayPal. I thought it was a legal transaction because I saw her website and her resume, but now it is hard to access it so she probably realized she was scammed. Another lady whose name and picture showed up when I searched .facebook.johnvuncannon had the same URL as 'Allen Scott' or Michael Stanford has secured her LinkedIn page.
I received the money and sent to Ifeanyi Jude Okonkwo who is also on Facebook and studied in University of Nigeria. Michael wrote the address where I would send the money by Western Union as #4 Mecidikoye, Sisili" but I searched and found Mecidiyekoy, Sisli, Istanbul, Turkey.)
