I am an easy-going person. I like life in all its beauty. I agree with the proverb "Life is given to us only once". I am not afraid of obstacles and I am sure that we are born to overcome them. Of course it is very difficult to get through alone that's why I want to find my second half to live together in the spirit of LOVE and FRIENDSHIP. I hope to find a person who supports my ideas and my way of life.

Hi. I met this guy on Tinder and to be honest thought he was too good to be true. The first thing I noticed was the difference in his profile name and his name badge. We chatted and he asked me to download and chat to him on an app called kik. I thought it was weird he didn't want to use FB messenger or Skype where we could actually talk or video call. So as we were chatting I found red flags popping up all over the place. His English was questionable given he's meant to be from the US, he would disappear for ages mid conversation, he was too committing so early on with all the flattery, the darlings, babes, my sweet angel and the poetry was a bit too much cheese for me.

Right off the bat he told me where he was being deployed and having a friend in the British army I thought it very questionable that he would so easily give such information away without having even been asked. I know for a fact that sort of information is never divulged for security reasons. Anyway, as were talking I was uncomfortable with his questions which were very immature, the sort of things you ask in your youth and when on a date. He was far too eager with so many questions and I was selective of what and how to answer, as far as I was concerned this man is a complete stranger who doesn't need to know my business. Also asking for my pictures. I never send pictures to people I don't know.

I found some of his interests strange, okay I was basing things on stereotypes, which strangely enough the things I was interested in aren't typically those of a black person. Like I said, based on stereotypes albeit right or wrong. Anyway, he was still messaging after 12am in the morning despite the fact he was supposedly being "deployed" to Kabul this morning and that the military enforce strict regimes on curfews from my understanding.

He has a 12 year old daughter called Vicky, who's mother died a few years back in an auto accident, he doesn't know much about his family because, "Coz I wasn't really a cultured one", hmmm! He also seemed to forget previous things he'd asked or was trying get more info. He has female dog called Oliver (male name) "She 1 year and six months old now".

Anyway, I haven't alerted him to my findings, which I almost did before reading cautions here. I probably shouldn't have, but I decided to play with him, pretending to be rich, owning property. He doesn't know I'm a creative writer, but I won't carry on and will cancel my profile. I will ever understand these sort of people. Be safe out there and question everything if you have to.

Welcome to RS. Very sorry to hear you met those West African evils on your way. Thanks for the pointing all inconsistencies it will sure help others to see the mistakes scammers do. Please know that one of the old tactics to pull a victim of the scam into sending money is to deprive them from the sleep and make victims tired. That's why yofu got night calls. All for one good reason for them - profit.

Please kindly post: link to fake profile, email address, phone numbers, SKYPE ID, unposted pictures, any fake documents. After reporting BLOCK and IGNORE military impostors without confrontation. Thank you and be safe online.
Confronting the scammer is WRONG!!! DON'T enlighten criminals with your wisdom. REPORT & BLOCK.
PHOTO VICTIM - "Do not confront the owner of the pictures, as they are victims themselves! You will only serve to further the terror and harm !" Silence Is Golden!!! I speak Polish.

Thanks Igulinka. I am fortunate to have had a lucky escape and realised something was wrong before things got any further. I also have this thing of checking everything, especially when it's too good to be true and thanks to this blog found out soon. Please don't think evil people like this represent or are typical Africans no matter which country they come from. As an African I can tell you that these are rotten apples that make it bad for everyone, especially in trusting. Thanks Again.

Take care

I live in New York City and trust me I would never put all Africans in same category, simply have to many good friends among them .The amount of West African scammers is a drop in the ocean of pure evils which destroy lives of innocent people no matter the race and place but majority of color people are good , decent and hardworking. We have victims from Nigeria too and centrally from many other African countries. Thank you for reply :)

I totally agree with you about scammers. I wish the very best in finding your special someone, that's if you haven't found them already. I'm just happy loving myself for nor. So not in a conceited way, but in appreciation of the humble life I have and happiness in the small things in life. If I should meet that special someone, great. If not I'll just keep on enjoying life.

All the very best.

Hi I've been talking to this guy for 6 weeks now.
However, he is now using the name, Alex Graham
He is currently based in Afghanistan, he is a widower and he has a 8 year old daughter who lives with his grandma in Liverpool in the Uk.
His parents and sister died in a car crash when he was 12 years old
His wife also died shortly after his daughter was born and he has been single ever since
He has promised me the world, obviously, declared undying love etc.
He has asked me to send him items such as IPhone, clothes, watches etc, a little money but nothing extravagant.
Needless to say, I haven't given him anything only my time and feelings!
He is using the email address grahamalex74@googlemail.com
Mobile number +1 724 824-1839
He gave me a postal address in New York stating that this was Military Personnel office who check all mail prior to it be transferring to Afghanistan.
The postal address is: Genese Daniels, 226 Seaview Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07305
His will tell u his mobile phone is broken and is using a very old iPod so is unable to make or receive calls or send instant photos.
I met him on the dating site Oasis and he immediately asked me to chat with him using Viber
He would send me messages constantly throughout the day and night
My instincts were telling me it was a scam and I confirmed it on here
Wow, vile creatures out there.
Hope this helps you ladies. Be careful and never send money or goods.
If u need any other details, please post a reply.
Many thanks

Ps. I also feel sorry for the poor guy whose pictures have been stolen. Could anyone please tell me where I need to go to report this guy officially.
