Information on romance scams and scammers.

Ladies, me to!
I am a German housewife, got a letter from "Sgt. Richard Jefferson". This was also his facebook profile. (you can look!) The next mails he changed to "Sgt. Richard Wilson", and when I recognized, that the nameplate at his uniform jacket is "Butterfield", he changed to "Butterfield".

One week we wrote. He told me from his 11year old son named Edwards, living in Australia with hith Grandparents. And I should pay a "Army Intercom account activate" to phone him. 435 USD.

My friend, my husband and me noticed, that some thing must be wrong. What should we do? This "Sir" has also a Facebook-profile under "Major Joe Butterfield".

I was at the first three days so blue because of this poor lonesome child in Australia, I've written this child. And I feel ashamed, that I could be so stupid.

Please take care. Many ladies do not have such a well understanding and intelligent husband like me and feel perhaps lonesome. I was only lucky.

But: who is this "Mr. Butterfield" in real? Such a handsome guy.

Hope that I could warn some of the ladies. Reach me under <removed> if you want. I would like to do a indicator report, to whom it may concern.

Whish you a nice weekend and hope, you are allright. Many regards from Germany

Jeannie

hi i am new to this site. i was contacted on a dating site called "tagged" by a man claiming to be sergeant richard jefferson. i grew suspisious because in his e mails and messages he didnt sound like an american so i looked on google for military dating scams and low and behold i came across the same man. below is part ov his e mail and also a picture of him hope this is some use to some one, i think it is disgusting to pretend to be some one who is serving there country.

How are you doing ? Thanks so much for your response on tagged, i really do appreciate your response..I will like you to get to know more about me and i will also loved to get to know you more.. Already you know that my name is Sgt Richard Jefferson, i am serving with the US military Army and currently deployed in Afghanistan, i am 43 years of age.. Where were you born and brought up? how old are you? Are you still in any relationship? what kind of relationship are you looking for? have you met anyone online before??

I was born and raised up in Vermont united state place where i grew up and know so many things around the world...i joined military college when i was 19 yrs of age and later furthered more in Florida, 12 yrs ago i lost my dad,Though i recently lost my mom , i couldn't attend the funeral then i was here in Afghanistan,i have a sister, though she has married now got married to a guy in Belgium..

You sound very nice in your message,your nice profile caught my eye, I think everybody on this earth deserves happiness and smiles everyday the earth rotates but the problem seems to be where are the good ones to give us the smiles, laughter and joy? I'm a down to earth man, honest, fun loving, responsible, loyal and hard working, I want someone that will love me for who i am, I want nothing but TRUE LOVE, I don't want any Infidelity or any Insincerity, I believe honesty and trust are the key to any successful relationship,

I am a very honest person, caring, kind, social, smart, intelligent, passionate, friendly, romantic, and i believe in the truth and honesty of love..i am really a very sincere person when it comes to sharing feelings and emotions with that special person and i am down to earth, honest about the things i say and i do because i don't like hurting peoples feelings, cause everyone has a chance to laugh and be happy. I am really very easy to get along with, fun to be with and am very adaptive and communicative when it comes to conversant conversation.

My life is based on the truth and honesty of self personality...i would really like to get to know a lot about you and learn somethings with you cause you seem to be kind of ready in getting to know my kind of person and hopefully we can meet in person if the future would permit. With time, we will get to know each others feelings, motives and intentions towards each other and it will help us grow knowing each other and trusting each other

Communication plays an important role also, My last relationship was for about 1 year and some few months and I wasn't the cause to break it, I'm always a one woman man, Committed and Submissive to my woman, I was introduced to the dating site by a very close colleague of mine that met his own wife there, I hope this site will help me in finding my TRUE LOVE and PARTNER. Life they say cant be rosy all the time but a true friend, one should always wished even though you cant get them all the time,

I am a hard working man looking for a love life, a love life that could make me feel safe, a love life that will make me express my feelings most of the time, I want to meet someone that believe in herself, someone that could pull out the powers in me, a woman that will be happy with a gentle man like me, a woman that wants the best in her life, all these and more I need in a woman that is ready to settle down with me and after we are sure of each other, Its straight to the alter to seal up the bond in me you shall find happiness, I love making my sweetheart laugh so expect a great HUMOR in me, all said and done, I await all the great responses, my first time on the dating site but i do not want to get disappointed

Every morning we wake up early as 5am and set out for a patrol then comes back to the camp here in Afghanistan.. things are a lil bit scary here but we had gotten used to it... lol.... And you tell me more about yourself, have you ever been married?? do you have kids? let me tell you more about myself am an easy going man,caring ,loving i had met many ladies online too but they are all trying to play with my heart so i decided to give it a trail with you....

Honesty, hardworking, loyal, affectionate, just to get started! I am looking for the same qualities. I am very positive and very laid-back. I love to show affection, and I like it in return. I am an intelligent, compassionate, friendly and loving man. Family is very important to me and overrides anything else when push comes to shove. My family is small but they are wonderful


Am very easy to be around type of personality. I am always in a great mood. It is sort of fun how easily excited I can get. You might see me get happy about something as small.. like having a great lunch or heading outside to enjoy the hot tub in a bad storm. easily and I love life. Most time i loved to tease people but in a very lighthearted and fun way. I enjoy telling good jokes and stories and thrive at playing pranks on my friends. Even though I like having fun, don’t take this as not being hard working or serious about my goals. I always amazed at the difference one person can make in this world

I was once married to a loving,caring,honest and sincere woman though i lost my wife when she was about delivering my son Edwards ...i felt so sad and was feeling like the world was running to an end, guess you know how it feels to loose someone so dear to your heart!!! My son is living with my grand Parents who lives in Australia.. he's 10 yrs of age....My Believe is that there's one woman out there that can help me find that Love and affection again. Someone who is Understanding,Kind,good sense of humor,Loving,caring,honest,
sincere,passionate and affectionate woman who also believes in God,The Bible says" Seek the Kingdom of God first and every other thing shall be added on to you

I've sort the kingdom so I'm waiting for one of my other things that's my Dream woman and i believe when i have a woman that has the fear of God she wouldn't hurt my feelings and emotion which i have for her.Most people doesn't know what it take to hurt another one feelings and emotion and how it feels so I'm not into playing games..Basically that's all on me for now unless if you're willing to know more,then you can ask!!!! i wanna get back to base we have patrol in few min time i will write back as soon as i receive any mail from you until then have a nice day ahead

I really do appreciate your response so much , wow you are such an interesting woman to be with ..hmm how are you? i guess the weather is pretty cool over there huh? It's getting more interesting writing you..it's kinda hot out here..i mean real hot lol.. I am a medical doctor here and there is allot to do here.. I joined the military because i want to help my country..

I love sitting close together to talk, watch a movie or just enjoy the quiet.. touching and holding hands are awesome. making dinner together, doing the dishes together, this is just a few things i find are a turn on. long talks, long walks, these are ways of building a close relationship. do you think I'm being snappy?

I love being close, but i do enjoy my time, i have no problem with that, hunting or whatever she enjoys doing. so, while i love couple time together, i also know that even couples need their own time...

What makes me sad....a lot. people who take love for granted. people who pass up a good thing, or blame the next person who happens to be good for the bad that happened in their past, people who are abusive to anyone or thing. when someone hurts a child. when someone isn't honest. when someone waste my time by lying. just tell me the truth how is that hard?

I have definitely had my ups and downs with relationships as well, but you have to go through the bad to get to the good.....right??? As for dating I do date on occasion but haven't really found anyone I click with, either I am interested in them and they aren't in me, vise versa, or none of the above. Dating to me is like going on a job interview, which can get old if you have to keep going over and over.....

I have been searching for someone to love me for who i am and not what i am, someone i could share my ups and downs, someone who would understand and listen to our heart as it beat.. now i am ready to travel anywhere in the world if that is where i could find true love.. i want to give it whatever it take right now believe me i am damn serious..

If I found that special woman she will have a huge part of my heart. kids come first I'm sure you know but I can settle down for sure if I meet a honest good person. someone good to my son won't treat him bad or hurt him. someone i can trust. someone who can trust me with their child and their heart

I wanna know the kind of lady that you are, then i can go on telling you my life and most though i have share some secrets with you already, but the rest would remain in my heart for as long i know you would be good and honest as you said!
I have been hurt so many times and i have tried to stand up and raise again all by the help of God and to my lovely Late mother,so since then i have been looking carefully for a good woman to settle with after the death of my late wife.

Would you mind answering what i am going to ask you right now do you think your man to be would own a good and large place in your heart ?how much can you compare your man and money?do you think you are ready to settle down?

1. What is your favorite time of day?
2. What is your favorite drink?
3. What is your favorite color?
4. What is your favorite meal?
5. What is your favorite season?
6. What is your favorite holiday?
7. What is your favorite movie?
8. If you could go on holiday anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why?
9. If you had to live somewhere other than where you live now, where would it be, and why?
10. Who is your favorite musical artist?
11. What other music do you listen to?
12. Hugs or Kisses?
13. What is your favorite dessert?
14. what are the qualities you need in a man??
another e-mail sent...i have a couple more if you want i also have pics but not sure how to repost them i read the link how to repost but sorry i didnt understand what to do... :?:




I don't hide my personality.. i have met a lot of women who after knowing each other for 2weeks i find out they aren't being plain or straight forward, some even go to the extent of having more beside the relationship.
Really i have more questions but I'll ask them later, meeting people this way is scary for me because you don't know their intentions or if she will be sincere about being with you or trying to get into your life and turn it upside down.I do love romance and all that goes along with it...my idea of a dream home is a log cabin on the side of a mountain. with a lake, big stone fore place to sit in front of to watch movies or just sit in the quiet and enjoy it. i love candles, everywhere.

All i want is to be happy and to make somebody else happy, I've been hurt really bad. I want honesty and faithfulness in my life. yep, see i don't ask for much..it doesn't take a lot to make me happy. being with somebody that i know truly loves me and wouldn't hurt me, that's my idea of happiness.. you look so cute and i will love to know you more.. I hope to read from you as soon as you can..

Hi ppl , I'm new on here as I was checking on someone I was approached by on Tagged.com and seems he is still going, he is going under the name of joe butterfield on there and saying he is a major who has just been deployed 2 weeks ago to central Africa, apparently he has 3 kids as I had only just started talking to him don't have that much information, his yahoo address is [email protected] and I have a cell number from him too.Glad I looked him up although already had a feeling he wasn't true. Thanks

Welcome to ScamWarners hadenough. The name Butterfield surfaces quite often as being used by a scammer. The search feature on this site is good. If you want to see other uses of the name just put Butterfield in the search box.

The story the scammer is telling you is cookie cutter scammer script. If you are still talking to the scammer, drop all contact. Just disappear because all he wants is your money.

If you have other information please post it up to help others who may be searching.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Occupation:Other

In my own words:
I'm friendly, chatty, bright and affectionate and like to be positive and optimistic about life. Really enjoy getting out / travelling but home and family are important too.
Big interest in restaurants / food / wine, always curious to read about restaurant openings / reviews, i like to go along and see what I make of it. I can cook - a good home cook, good masterchef material and very competent - haven't poisoned anyone... yet! lol
Reasonably well travelled but there are lots more places I'd like to go ... romantic dinner ... crisp cotton sheets ... full English in the morning. Or ..heading off for adventures abroad. It's relaxing to be by a beautiful beach/ pool though perhaps not day after day - nice to break it up and get out and explore too. Visiting new cities is fascinating

The Butterfield scammer is definitely keeping busy as Mike Butterfield, whose "wife had an affair and had a baby by the man; he hasn't seen his 2 children Terry 6 & James 3 for a year now" for someone supposedly a Sergeant in the US Army, he couldn't spell or string a proper sentence together which was the reason I was so suspicious. On Facebook he also has a profile as Benard Butterfield (Polish!!!) I'm glad this site is here and some of us are lucky enough to be one step head of these low lifes!
