Information on romance scams and scammers.

The information I have on this scam is very broad.
The scam was started in September 2015 when I matched with Marc Andre B Greenwald on the dating app "Tinder". Although I am uk based I feel the scammer was not in uk.
He stated he lived in fort McMurray in Canada alone and his first wife died and second divorced. He has been using very personal family photos of some poor victim to pull this scam off. He began grooming and everything was very romantic.
His fake website is Seabay global services and is linked to James argon (scammer)
The website runs on the same format and is identical to one that was live 2014-2015 under the name of subocean services but using a different CEO under the name of Bernard Mariano D Powell and the image used was a known scammer image that has been used for hundreds of different scams all linked to maritime and oil/energy services.
Late October he began a contract with a very large well known oil services company ( not mentioning names to respect their privacy)
Sent many copies of fake contract and plane tickets signed with fake signatures.
and all was going well until money seemed to run out. He began saying he would be prosecuted if the contract was not met and made himself out to be in serious trouble. He asked for money with an excellent return rate.
Money was sent to China to what we believe they were female money mules. Who were sending the money to them inUSA.
He is not working alone he works alongside a man going under the name of Roy Scofield.
Spoken to him a few times and also Marc Andres Daughter named Whitney called a few times. This number can not be reached and only received.
Suspects ip adress is USA (may not be static) but website is linked to an address in Amterdam NL.
He is still agressive asking for money and will be using this site until the end of March (website domain expires 24/3/2016)

Malu53 have you been in contact with this scammer?

Extra images used by this scammer.
Please share.
Wish this family were aware that the photos have been used.
Reverse Google image search returns nothing on these images so I assume they were shared privately with this scammer.

Scammer has now shut down but we fear he will restart with a new scam. It always seems to be with OIL industry scam.

If a new website gets posted I will link it here he has also used law firms to scam.

He uses email addresses with the prefix of [email protected]

He will pose as living in America with a European up bringing I.e German/Hungarian. This is what makes his accent believable. Working as a group. Money sent to CHINA.
Name YUNHONG XIAO
AND
YUNYING DAI

if you are asked to send money to these names it's a scam.

Scam is back up and running we believe he has blocked our numbers but is using one main number (landline) to make calls. it notified us he was using viber again on a PC .
This is a Key warning to any women or men being scammed scammers will usually use a PC to use social apps such as viber or whatsapp or tinder. DO NOT BE FOOLED!
NEVER SEND MONEY TO ANYONE!
by LaraC Tue Mar 22, 2016 12:41 am
Is it possible to post his/their Viber ID and the landline number here? (Starting from country code)
So that others can Google and hit this page before they get scammed.

Thank you very much.

Do NEVER confront the scammers it will only educate them
Once you found out that you are in contact with the scammer(s), before you take any actions other than blocking them, you can CONSULT in the forums first.

Wish I would have seen this lost last Summer and Fall! Fortunately, this scammer only got $900 from me in total. I could kick myself for NOT suspecting earlier. Guess my heart was blind. This guy is THE best actor I have ever encountered. How he can keep stories straight is beyond me. Usually when a person lies, they will get caught in a lie trying to remember what they had said previously. But this guy...never. His story is woven perfectly and so believable! After 5 months, I finally contacted Marathon Oil Company direct and spoke with 2 of their top executives and after sending them a copy of a contract that this scammer had sent to me in an email, they confirmed it was fraudulent. I have made a report with the FBI, as well as Delightful.com (dating site) about this horrible person. His story is woven perfectly and so believable! What is sad is that these photos belong to a man that no doubt is looking for HIS soul mate and was no doubt scammed by a woman doing the same identity theft. No doubt this man is now using MY personal photos, my name and family to scam someone else.

Hello cootie1975
Again I was scammed summer/autum but unfortunatley for a greater amount of 16,000 gbp. His lies were very very believable and the story was very believable. Have contacted marathon oil but had no response. And yes the man in the pictures has obvious been scammed by a woman in their group which is very sad and again we are worried about the pictures we have sent. We are now in the process of trying to stop what's happening but fearful that they are setting up again. Do you haven my information that would be useful for us that you could privately sent (as the scammer can view all this) I am not about to give up on this. These people should realise how devastating this scam is to our lives emotionally and financially he had got me completely believing everything but he started to get sloppy and that's when I caught him out but it was too late financially.

The scammer used Marathon oil as an associate to make the scam more believable. I have posted images of the contracts he sent

These are the copies of the contracts the scammers used. Very good aren't they. These helped manipulate the victim into giving money and thinking the company was real. Marathon Oil have been notified.
