I've been talking to this guy for 3 days now. I know hes trying to get money from me as he keeps trying to say he needs data and then saying he wants me to send £50 in iTunes vouchers.

Hes never once mentioned his name and he told me he had a house in Chicago. The next thing once he found out I'm in the UK he said he has a house here too.

When a few more things didn't seem to add up with his story I searched his name and his pictures popped up on this site.

Hes talking to me using whatsapp with the number +234 708 510 7802 I met him on the app 'Hi'.

I asked him about how many names and ages he went by and he told me I had to be careful because people were using his pictures, which obviously I dont believe. Hes the real person from the pictures I'm speaking to as I got him to take a photo of himself with today's date on which he did but I still believe hes trying to scam people of money.

He started talking to me a bit less than 2 weeks ago. Found me through Tinder. We are supposedly still in touch.

He goes by Brandon Philips W. and he claims he is in the military in Alabama while originally from Oregon. Age 32. He has 2 dogs.

Came out of a long relationship but no kids and no dead wife. In all honesty, I would've caught up earlier had he claimed that he had a dead wife. He caught his girlfriend cheating on him with his neighbor.

Many things raised small red flags but because the general conversation was "how's your day" or "what did you eat" I kind of ignored it. I googled his name a few times but came out empty.
It was inonsistencies like "I am looking first for friendship cause I was hurt", then "I am looking for a serious relationship that leads to marriage" then in 5 days time claiming he loves me. Then he said "I believe that one day we will meet. Do you believe it?" And I was like, something's very wrong.
He never asked me for money, if anything he said he wanted me to be his sugar baby that he showers with money and gifts. That's when I was like, Ok time to look up his picture since his name was not coming up with anything. Thank you Catfish for teaching me that. LOL. And this led me here. Thank you.

I also just checked and he has apparently deleted his Tinder profile now. I cant find messages there or anything. We were talking originally through Tinder and then through Hangouts. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to see what email he's using, it'll only show me his name. Fake name that is. These are the pictures he sent me.

I am so glad that through the hardships of my life I have learned to pay attention to the flags and trust my instinct.
Sucks though cause let's face it, the guy in the pics is cute. Hahahaha! Oh, well. Another one bites the dust. :lol:

He’s back!
He is now posing as military police in Seattle WA. His name is Steve Henderson and he is 37 years old.
Image

I have all the same other images as the rest of you. But he got me good during this Covid crap. Called is phone, 561-461-8869 and he answered with a German accent. I was like “oh No” he hung up and said he dad was in the military in Germany and so he grew up there. His new scam is that he’s looking to settle down and get married. He lived in Florida and his girlfriend cheated on him and is on drugs now and broke his heart.

So I asked him for his rank and who is commanding officer was and he couldn’t give me anything. This guy is on HINGE still and scamming and won’t stop because no one is stopping him, the fact he has been doing this for a year or longer is crazy!

Adam Sergio Robertson - (203) 941-3549

Postby KiraLeon » Wed May 20, 2020 8:02 pm

Hello,

Here is an update. Today is May 20, 2020, I was talking to this ass since April 22nd. He's a bastard, knows how to play with your head. He goes by Adam Sergio Robertson. His mom is from Spain, dad from Texas. He speaks spanish. Both passed away, his aunt raised him. Then she died and now he has an ex wife in Connecticut with his 9 year old daughter. He's been in the army for 20 years. But my first red flag, is his tags say he is an E1 pay class. (That's a private, and each year you move up) so if he's been in the army for 20 years he can't be a private. Then he says he is in Special Forces, Umm wrong. To be in Special Forces you have to be a class of E4 - E7. And his uniform says Military Police, you can't be MP and Special Forces at the same time....All he wanted from me were Steam Cards. He said he needed them in order to talk to me through WhatsApp. After 1 week of talking to him, he said he loved me? Seriously? Who does that? He couldn't even tell me the meaning of his tattoos! That was hilarious! He said it was his aunt told him as story before he went to bed as a child!! It was the story of Medusa...WTF??? Didn't match his tattoos. So much more I can say about this guy. I received almost all pictures everyone else sent me. He didn't talk to me through email, but used this phone number (203) 941-3549.

***UPDATE On Walkowski scam... today is June 22, 2020 and apparently this scammer is still running the SAME GAME! You’d think he would be smart enough to at least change his game a little!... last week I received an Instagram request from Michael Walkowski... said he was from NORTH CAROLINA, been in Army “his entire life,” and currently on an “overseas peace keeping mission.” Growing up an Army-brat, I found tons of flaws in his info but the biggest red flag was the way he constructed his sentences... Ladies, listen to your instincts. When you feel something is off, 98% of the time, IT’S OFF!!!... ended up having to block him from IG. Then yesterday, I saw him again on Tinder, this time using the name “Steve”. Be warned... still up to his old tricks. I really feel bad for the REAL Walkowski fella. Is he aware this is going on?

Like wtf? And why he has to use pictures of a super cute guy???? I only got like three picture, because he is Syria now and he cant use phone there etc. Oh, he called me on hangouts once. Very bad image. Sounded like a spanish guy. Sorry for my english. Not my native language. I have been talking to him for 4 days now. And just like an hour ago, I told him that I knpw what he is doing and he should stop making fun of people. He is currently on his way to capital city of Syria with his troups. So lets see if he answers to me

FaceTimed him today it is him
Hi, it´s just fake webcam - technically it´s easy enough to do these days:
Quote from techsarjan.com/2017/11/use-fake-cam-video-chat-android-easy-guide.html
Hello Android users, Today we talk about Fake Cam chat which is possible on Android also. In Short, we can say we play video instead of our movement during a video chat on Android no matter where our chat is going on like Messanger, Skype, Whatsapp or any other. This way work for all Video chat services because here system change front camera source to a predefined video. So the next user thinks this is actually happing there but no, that is pre-recorded video which he saw on that time on his Android mobile screen.

There are reported arrests of West African scammers but they are rare and the problem seems to spread allover all sites and social apps :(

I "met" this guy on Tinder a few days ago. The information he gave me was his name is Elliott, 36 years old and he's originally from Poland. He's living in Carlisle, PA and is in the military. His parents are both dead, but he has an aunt in NC. His distance matched up when I looked at how many miles he was from my town, but then he moved closer by 100 miles a couple days later. He was good at first, not too aggressive. I almost fell for it, but he's using words like "mate" and doesn't use basic American grammar. He asks way too many personal questions about my salary and job. He contacted me using this phone number +1 828-484-6775.

I also got in contact with this guy via Tinder
He is a US military currently in Afghanistan
His name is Christian Andrei William.
American with Romanian parents. Single dad etc...
I got more less same photos plus one cute with the dog ;)
We are talking for a while, slowly he is starting to make a move by asking me to contact a lawyer to start the process of resigning from the military. ( I’m waiting to see where this is going, getting my popcorn now)
My instinct told me something was off but it took me a while to figured that out. After some research I found this website and some other articles about such a scammers!!!
I reported to FBI but not sure if this will stop the guy. I will hold him fore some time and make some games ( two can play the same as I already told him that I own nothing ect..., maybe I should ask him for money lol any suggestions how to make his life miserable

Hi there, if "he" knows your real life first name, your real profile (of course), don´t bother to tell "him" you´re wisenow. "He" will just recontact you in a different disguise (over and over...) ;)
