Information on romance scams and scammers.

This scammer met me on Badoo.com... His Badoo.com profile he used to contact me with is http://badoo.com/01219667617/ but since then I have found out he as another account http://badoo.com/01237880548/ . He also has a Facebook page< https://www.facebook.com/morales.ric > He started out as a nice person, then he asked for money for phone privileges and to come home... I never sent money. I almost did a loan on my car title for this man. Who ever the real person is in the photos looks like a nice guy..

I am new to this posting thing so I hope I am not doing this wrong. I have pictures but have to see about getting them hosted with the scammer using or fraud thing.

Here is part of a chat we had on Facebook:


1:00pm
me
I know you are where you are at for another month

1:00pm
Patrick David Melka
yes honey.

1:02pm
me
May be dad is right during that time we can still learn about each other....to get to know one another more.... He does think knowing each other for a short time is not good to start a marriage on..... I know I want you and I want to be your wife in all ways

1:04pm
Patrick David Melka
honey no,i cant wait till then,plz tell me the truth in other not to waste my time,are you going to send me the $3000 soon to meet you and when i get to you i pay you back my wife,plz be honest.

1:06pm
me
I don't have that kind of cash ... Then no I won't have it to send it.... I am being honest.... I respect my dad and do listen to his advise....sometime I take and use it but Patrick if I can't get the money, I know you will stop talking to me and find some one...........
So if that is what you want to do then do it....


That is one of our most recent talks... Now that my eyes are open to several things about the military and leave and phone calls I have learned.. so far am happy I never did send money ..

Since then if anyone would like to talk or contact me please leave a post and I will respond.. not giving info out no more..

hope this works trying to add via edit for images

Profile pic is of him sitting down with heavy coat on. The other one he sent me was of him sitting in barracks and a third was in front of a tank(?). Whoever the pic is really of is cute but when he calls me, voice just doesn't match body
by snowed_again Wed Feb 26, 2014 7:06 pm
At least you heard his voice..... When I would not send money to bring him after 6 months of talking he went ape shit on me.....he also found this page.... And yes the guy in the pics is fine..... the tank one I have, i think all together he sent 10-15 pics.... Here is an email I use to protect my main one... Email me if you want .... Removed (BW) please use the PM function.

Victimized!, so glad you found us here. I understand exactly how you feel. It is horrible when you read and know the awful truth, that the person you have fallen in love with is actually a liar posing just to get you to give him money. It is hard to heal from and many don't understand. How could you fall for this? Easy. He has great pictures. He took a great interest in you. He made you feel wanted and adored. You may have thought- finally, someone who gets me and understands me and accepts me for me. My scammer was no different. I had all that. i couldn't wait for the emails, listening to the ping of Yahoo Messenger even at 2 am. It is a pull on your heartstrings like no other. And hard to deal with when it all falls apart.
Please let us know any further information you can share so others don't get hurt. And understand you will feel hurt, mad, upset, even foolish. It's all normal. Even though mine happened last year, I still think about it from time to time. The lost hope, the wanting to have that person in my life. The feeling that life has to be better. And it does get better. Heal from this, Connect with friends and family. And understand we're glad you came here to tell us, hard as it is, so others can be helped.

He called me again here alittle while ago. Swears he is the real Chris Melka. Said the only way he could prove it was when he sees me..yeah right. Says his account was hacked and scammer is using his pics. Will talk to his captain right away. Yada yada yada. Will keep u guys informed...
by Smith Jones Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:43 am
He will do everything he can to prove to you he's real. This is typical scammer behavior. It's why we tell you to cut off contact. Please do so. He will tell you anything, find ways to bring in other characters if needed to reinforce his story. If you stop, he can't continue to twist the story and keep you pulled in. I know it's hard but it's important.
by Christina L Sinnwell Sun Jun 22, 2014 8:08 pm
He is now using the name Stiles Stilinski Melka (multiple Facebook pages)

Yahoo account: melkastiles1974
OKCupid: MajorStiles1972
Telephone: 336 355-5977

Claims to be from Eden, North Carolina

NOT COOL, wish we could find a way to stop this! Trust your instincts ladies, stuff just did NOT add up. Reach out to me if you would like to compare notes.

What is the story of the actual guy in the pictures he is using?
