Welcome to Scamwarners,

Scammers never use their real names. They will make up a name or steal it from a real person. They also steal the photo's they use.

Please post the scammers email address and a couple of his initial emails to you. Remove your personal information prior to submitting.

Stop all contact with the scammer.

His email address is
[email protected] an initial email was as follows:

^^^ Thank you.

The emails were written by a West African.

Your post will help others avoid him.

Here is the email with the admin address:

"i love you so very much baby the admin contact is [email protected] please write to them and let me know what they say thanks so much baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Please read this Army article >> http://www.army.mil/article/130861/Army ... nce_scams/

If you have further questions please ask.

Stop all contact with the scammer. He is a thief/criminal he will only continue to lie to you. He only after your money.

Thanks for the help feel slightly foolish

There is no need to feel that way. Scammers are good at what they do. If not they would not being doing it.

Professionals have fallen for scams. You are not the first nor will you be the last.

Most of us found this site after a scam. That is why we are here to help others.

Thank you so much at least I had the common sense to do a bit of research and thank god I found this site, looking forward to him replying to a recent mail and getting no response from me

Look out for future scam emails. The name and email address will be different but it will be your scammer. He thinks he knows your weakness and your likes. So, he will try again.

I will do met him through match.com am now off this site his profile name on there was honestsoulneeded

Thanks for the email i am new to the online dating and here is little about me.. I am born and raised in the USA, My dad was from England and mum from the USA..I am with the US army and am presently deploy to iraq for peace keeping....living in Baghdad at the moment and am also planning to retire very soon as i would like to be in a long loving relationship with someone very honest caring and special... My ex was from London and we were together for 5 years but he could not cope with the nature of my work so we decided to split more he was also into girls and i could not stand that... i am a gay man and i love mature men who knows what they want and ready for a serious relationship

Oh my god that is pretty much what he said to me, except that his ex had been going with one of his friends whilst he was deployed and he had caught her out he said his parents had both died his dad whilst in action in the army. I'm just glad that I have a cynical mind and had the common sense to check it out on here. He surprisingly hasn't been in touch again obviously not happy I didn't do the money transfer. I have since closed that e-mail account he had for me. Just hope no-one else has been caught by him and actually sent money.
