wow - this is a painful education!

Postby flash373 » Mon Mar 09, 2009 1:35 am

So, new here, didn't find this site until my sister did a little searching online and sent me a link that I explored - link to link to link until finally I arrived at romancescam.com. Great site, btw.

So - Laura... well, to me she was Naomi Ford, on meonyou.com, a dating site. Long story short, I got mixed messages, but enough credibility that I fell - several times - left and then came back. She maintained that she was new, innocent, wanted marriage but was willing to be patient, after some persuading. This started November '08, continued until a couple weeks ago when I finally came to my senses. In the meantime, I sent money for travel, passport, etc., etc. She is "supposedly" in London, UK, although her profile on meonyou said Los Angeles. There were also several other profiles on meonyou with her pictures:
yummyflower143
vickylove77
shasha_86
sexy_maria2688
pamelicious6969
Her claim was that a friend had set up her account, showing her "the internet", and had used her pictures without her permission.

There were lots of other "discrepancies", which I questioned, and for which she had "explanations", many of which didn't really satisfy me, but I guess I just wanted to believe. At any rate, she spent a lot of time weaving the fabrication, really a lot - must have lots of time on her hands. I figured a reasonable assurance would be to see her on cam, or to see a pic that she could prove was recent (with a dated newspaper was one solution I tried) - but of course neither could happen, lol.

The telling blow was finding a pic of her here, using scamdigger. I'll post a couple more pics of her, if I can figure out how. I JUST looked at the email headers - and what a surprise! Lagos, Nigeria! The money I sent went to UK, so there must be an agent there.

As it turns out, there was a second woman I was talking to, from meonyou, supposedly from Atlanta, GA, USA, who also turned out to be in London, UK. After one fallout with "Naomi", I sent money to this other woman, for HER to come to US - similar tactics, although different name, pics, background - BUT, no phone either, no webcam, etc., AND, after sending HER $ to come to US, and her getting "robbed", Naomi KNEW about HER, "from the Western Union clerk" - WHOA - was that a red light or what? And STILL I persisted in TRYING to believe - BOTH of them, LOLOL - what a rube! Well, this other woman ALSO had a great spiel, but it turns out, looking at HER emails - ALSO from Lagos, Nigeria, even though $ was sent to London.

Well, all I have to say at this point is that this is pretty sophisticated, and the romance scam is designed to pull strings pretty hard, even when the original intent (from me, at least, and pretty explicitly stated) is friends to start, and "we'll see what happens". Oh well, as I stated in the subject, a painful education, but at least I'm learning, in part thanks to this site.

So, I'm uploading pics of Laura / Naomi that she sent me, or that I found under other userids on meonyou.com. Not sure if I did it correctly. I hope this helps someone else.

Thanks for reading.

I uploaded the images by "Add image to post" link below this text box. Since I think they're useful, I would just like to know how to do this successfully. Thx.

There's been some issues the past day or so with postimage, but some people have said it works again for them. It still doesn't here, so it must be only certain servers that have the upgrade/fix/whatever they did on it right now, and the rest will have them soon. Just keep an eye on it for now. I'm afraid that's all we can do.

sorry again for spam

Postby flash373 » Mon Mar 09, 2009 2:17 am

thanks, wayne - guess maybe I have to try again later? another question though - I just read the FAQ on uploading pics - it said to "uncheck the box that says "Disable BBCode in this post" to enable picture upload? I did not do that - is that something I need to do? thx.

Yep, you need to do that. If you don't you'll get the link come up to the picture but not the picture itself. Allowing BBCode lets you see the picture.

okay, thanks

Postby flash373 » Mon Mar 09, 2009 2:45 am

you could delete the last few messages if you want, but i'd just point out that no links appeared, as you can see from my post, so I'm thinking that there is still something wrong, and that I still need to try again. thanks for your help.

more pictures from this person

Postby flash373 » Wed Mar 11, 2009 9:29 am

These pictures were either sent to me directly, or pulled from other userids. They span some years in age, it seems, but all the same person, whoever that is.

Welcome to the forum. The model in that picture is Karla Spice, found thanks to tineye. Is she still using the same email address? We like to group scammers by photo, so if she is then I need to split the thread to reflect the new picture. Thanks.
