unfortunately I am the one of the big fish he has hooked successfully recently! I only see this site today. this person has used my kindness or stupidness to send my money to his military agent. would like to share my story here and warn the other girls be very caucious with PATRICK THOMAS on dating site. I don't think I can get my money back although.
I just been chatting with him on yahoo messenger, pretend I know nothing about it, and carried on with the conversation, buried my anger very well and told him I don't mind send him more money.
would like to get some suggest from all of you.

Please stop communicating with your scammer YRR. Tell him nothing and go, it isn't safe for you to bait scammers because he has your personal details. If you wish to do that go to the site http://www.419EATER.COM. and find out what to do . He can make life difficult for you, like finding all your friends on Facebook , or work, and sending abuse and lies about you, and ensuring you get masses of spam.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
However, I will go to the site 419 you have suggested. I am sure there are many girls like me has been tricked by him, so it is nice if we can all bond together fight with such evil in our life.
if anyone would like to do this together with me, I would be appreciated and share all the details he sent to me, specially money receiver's name and address, country, maybe those are the one who claimed as Patrick Thomas.
maybe at the present he is fishing another girl just like me from somewhere!

The instructions are in my signature line and can be found here too: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

It is important that you deface the photos so other scammers cannot use them.

Hi, because this person - patrick Thomas has all my personal details, and he knows that I have a big house and 3 young kids, so I don't feel safe be left the information to him like this, today he has been chatting to me, so I told him I need him refund my money as I am pennyless and I will have to Marry someone who is local police officer who loves me and I trusted him. I requested him I need my money back asap otherwise the bank will take over my house after the New Year. in the end he said to me: good day, bye bye. do you think he will come back to me again? I am really worried as I am considering the safety for my 3 children. ( in order to gain my trust on him, he even sent birthday present to my twins from Nigeria, that was the major reason I trusted on him, so he knows all my details.)
Please suggest. thank you.

The one thing you should do that will hurt him the most is the thing you'll find hardest to do - cut him dead - ignore him.

Don't be emotional or curse him. Just let him go like the garbage at the end of the day.

The most he will do is pass your details on to another scammer, if he thinks you won't pay any more, but he won't have any intention of visiting you - that's never happened. He will get to work looking for more victims. To him it's like playing the lottery or the slot machines. If you insult him, he may try to get back by messing up your social accounts otherwise he'll just move on.

That's just the way it is. There are many baiters lying in wait for these people, and others rooting out their identities but it's like stomping on cockroaches.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

If you look carefully at the pictures you sent You can see they are forged copies. The warnings are there all the time. Can you make Thomas out of the signature in any way at all? I see "used by scammer" at the top . Has this been through me because I do that to pics and I wonder if some has beeen edited off? It's my style of warning. I can tell you the original name is Gustafson,Erik Jon and it is stolen from here

As for the fake passport, they don't know the name of the country nor what is a proper passport photo. But why on earth would a real person be sending this stuff off anyway ?

Hi, I don't quite understand what you mean, it is the first time I met someone online like this - really unlucky, never imagined a human being would do such horrible thing to cheat money. I did all those photos as you suggested and upload them on this site.

This person is calling me recently quite a few times , although I deny it was myself answering the phone. but I do get cautious and wonder what is he trying to do now after I cut him off already.

If a scammer is not having luck getting money from his current victims, sometimes he will go back to people who have paid in the past, hoping he can hook them again and get more money from them.

If you do NOT speak to him or give him any kind of response, in the end he will recognize that you not longer have potential as a victim, and he will go away.

Thanks Dotti, so in that case he is trying on me again? I only worry because I have young kids.
Do you think in any chance the scammer will refund the money he hooked?
