hurt and feeling stupid

Thank you - I have notified credit agencies as well.

I tried notifying the banks in UK to inform them, they stated I have to file to authorities here.

Do you what agencies I need to report to?

Sorry - I am just so lost right now.

You know seeing all these scammers just sickens me to no avail.

This is just heart breaking, depressing and sad to see people as myself who are truly goodhearted, caring, honest and sincere to be victimized in such a demeaning manner.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what these scammers look for, and pretend to be. In reality, of course, they are the opposite--completely self-absorbed, greedy young men who have no conscience and absolutely no remorse.

In the US, you want to report the crime to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
You can file a complaint online here: http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

Thank you, I have filed the complaint.

I have noticed this guy is still on match.com and was on again last night. I reported him on match and was surprise to see him on victimizing another innocent person.

Bank details sent to Alan for closure, just in case it isn't done before.

I am not sure what your reply means.

Hi Tina!
Alan is a gentleman that works with us to close bank accounts that are used by scammers. He is very good at what he does and we appreciate him immensely!

Thank you,

Also, it took me 3 days for match.com to lockout this guys account. I first reported him from his page, nothing happened, 2nd reported a detail report on him from the site and still he was online. last night I file a compliant with customer service givng them detail information and asking them to contact me and anyone he is in contact with on the site (yes they have this information) and warn them. I also stressed the devestation brought on by this person and how I wished I never signed up with them and how they have a professional obligation to protect their consumers - well they finally blocked this guys page this morning.

I am sure he has other accounts in other sites and would likely open another account, but I am going to post anywhere and everwhere I can wording he has use in case anyone happens to search.

I just had to post this email...

Dearest xxxXX....

My baby, my love...

I know i have not had the time to write you for so long so I had to take this opportunity to make sure I stay up late and finish up writing you this very detailed email so that you can read it before you end your day and make sure you get the very big hug and sweet kisses that I am sending this email along with:)Thanks for all the emails and txt messages, you make me feel so close to you and you have made me feel so loved. I know the distance between us is huge but of course it wont matter becuase nothing, not even a million miles can segregate two hearts locked together as one! but i want you to take care of yourself and let my loving thoughts from across the oceans keep you very warm my angel.. They say good things comes to those that wait.... I know it deep down that you are worth all the wait!

It was beautiful hearing your se xy voice over the phone!..Seriously my love, I just want you to know that i just miss you so much!...I know we text and speak over the phone, but there is something special when we write emails. We get to share our innermost feelings and we seem to be freely expressive when we pour out our hearts too. That must be why we have both grown so very well accustomed to each other. I even think we may not have really got to know so much yet about each other if we had met first in person because there would be lots of distractions. Now babe, I know you want so much for us to meet and finally get to feel this wonderful feeling we both share in person, believe me, i have seriously thought about abandoning all i am doing here right now just to start heading back to the states, but I know its not the right thing to do and I am sure you would not like it so much if i gave away the obvious opportunity that has come up for me now, but be rest assured, we share that same hunger to be together. I console myself with the fact that our meeting isn't just random but very much divine and so, patience is the right word.... I love you.

If I say I have been choked with work/activity, it will be an understatement lol!, but the important part that i want you to know is that just thinking about you and stealing that momentary glance at your picture on my phone, (Yes, I have it as my wallpaper!) I feel renewed with energy and my, you make me feel good
So My days has been so busy with meetings and all but then its all amounted to positives and I am so glad about it all. Events are really looking up here after my presentations which was very good judging from the extent of commendations, calls and private indulgences I have been receiving since last week, like I mentioned over the phone to you earlier (although briefly), I have been having a series of meetings with a couple of private investors who want to engage my services one way or the other, I know this is all good and I am happy to get a good contract out of it. I am quite excited and anxious just keep your fingers crossed for me sweetie and thank you so much for believing in me and honestly encouraging me with you kind words!---You are truly special!

I am now concentrating on one of the investors from Scotland which will be most beneficial to me because it will eventually lead to the final testing and patenting of my vaccine which from all indications and the amount of interest it has garnered, is a never-before seen. I will be shuttling to Scotland to finalize issues there, but today, I had another meeting with the Production manager and it went fine. I am quite happy and even though its been hectic, i feel it has been worth my while if I look at it from the long term interest. I really plan to get back stateside first so we can see because i want to spend some quality time with you too but the people are on my neck so I am trying to decide on seeing the possibility of getting stuff done quickly so that i can get back ASAP.

Now here is something interesting:) I told my Sister Tanya (Oh, she is the only sister I have and younger than me) about you and she was really glad for both of us!. I gave my mom some hint too and i could feel the happiness in her voice over the phone lol. I feel so special to have you in my life and I can't wait to meet your family too. You know when i get to think about you, alot of things come to my mind, I see a lot of positives in our near future!..I am not perfect but i try to be the best that i can. I don't like to make rash decisions and I am very sure of my gut feelings with you, this strong feeling we share is just too awesome and a never experienced thing for me, I now truly believe that... you are the 'one'. I feel very blessed to have you!.. Well, I also want you to know that irrespective of the fact that we have this great distance between us, it will not be like this forever, I know how difficult it can be for you and for me as well, I am dying to meet you too but we just have to take it easy and everything will fall into place at the right time I am sure, just trust me honey.(smiles).

Sweetheart, just thinking about you and remembering the sound of your voice, I must tell you, you make my heart run miles! This kind of feeling, I have never felt anything like it for soo long but one thing I know for sure is that I don't ever want it to go away!..NEVER.---Soul mates really does exist!.

So tell me do you ever get jealous? how do you act when you are angry?? As for me, I very seldom get jealous. I do get suspicious though. Sometimes jealousy is a good thing. It means that you really care and don't want to lose your loved one, though there are limits. If you're talking about material things, no, not at all. I'm content with my life as it is...... when I do get angry, I try to stay cool and I'll argue if it's gonna lead to an understanding and not to insult the person. it's healthy to express your anger once in a while but sometimes throwing a tantrum is the worst thing you can do.

I like being spontaneous. One of the most spontaneous things i have done is quite a while ago, my cousin called me and said, lets go skydiving.... I said OK, we drove to the place, took a short class and jumped!. It was the most incredible feeling in the world, i had no idea my body and soul could experience such a feeling, it was a nice experience.
I love kissing, I kiss passionately, with all my heart and I love cuddling too, its not always all about sex (don't get me wrong I love sex very much!) but sometimes its ideal to just cuddle and smootch. I've been day dreaming about when we finally get to meet. What are the reactions?, will you still feel the same way?, etc. You know by writing you emails, I can really express myself, sorry if sometimes I do blab though!


I want to let you know here that I will always support you in any way i can, be it your career drive. I know the importance and you have my total support.... You will always have my back no matter what. I like a very neat and tidy house but I wouldn't say I am a neat freak cos most times, I may not have the whole time on my hands to keep it all spick and span, my! you wouldn't wanna see this bedroom at this moment-lol!.... You know, I have talked to a couple of my friends about how much I feel so attracted to you and that we met online and they look at me like, what? so i decided i ain't telling no one anything until we are together LOL!, Yeah, I guess no one really would understand the strong connection and feelings we have here, no one for now but just me and you!

What kinda car do you drive? I currently drive a 2009 Dodge Ram truck. I also have a 2005 Toyota Camry. I love the Dodge so much partly because of its power, but it goes hard on the Gas unlike the much more Eco-friendly Toyota. I Got my home in 2008 and its a beautiful house which I am sure you will love Attractive and traditional outside, well groomed. with 2 good size bedrooms and two full bathrooms. with 12 x 16 chefs kitchen, green house for fresh herbs all season.The dining room is sufficient, and the living/family room is small, but nice. Its got 2 fireplaces (one in the master). Inside is comfortable and warm looking colors wise and by the way it is decorated, quite neat and tidy, but also very comfortable and cozy

Well, I could go on and on lol!, I know there are lots and lots of things to share but we have the whole time in the world to do that! (can i hear an AMEN to that !) Seriously honey, you have captured my heart and I have decided to let if just flow! Only the most special things in my world get to come inside my heart and stay. And now, I realize how deeply my life has been touched by you. I feel Loved and happy, this feeling, I do not want to go away. I want you to know, you mean so much to me now.

xxxxx, My desire for you grows with each day that passes. I love everything about you. You are a warm, loving, sensitive, charming woman with a heart full of gold and I find you very sincere, honest & attractive. My heart has totally gone out to you, my heart always leads me true and I only want to be with you, please you, give you the same happiness that you have given to me. If I were granted but one wish, it would be to spend an eternity with you. You know, I can't send images via my phone , I would have sent you more images but I came along with my digital camera but stupid me left the data transfer cable behind in my rush ! I have taken alot of pictures already with the camera and will take more but it has to wait till i get back for you to have them all ok boo?

Well, I have to run now my Angel. Have a beautiful day.Do take great care of yourself and know you are special to me and always on my mind.

Won't stop loving you.

Your Eddie

AND ANOTHER -

Subject: additonal info about me...
My dear XXXXXX

Good day to you.

I hope you had a very productive day yesterday? Yeah, I called and sorry you already slept off then, glad I didnt wake you up and thanks for the voicemail.

I wanted to finish off this email and get it off to you before I go off doing something else that could take most of my time especially the whole last minute packing awaiting me:) You know it appears I am now addicted to you that I wanna kick myself because I have to travel just at this point in time.... Baby, I have to be totally honest with you though...I am DYING to meet you! BUT as I would say...baby steps! I'm glad to know how you feel about relocating and relationships. It gives me peace of mind. I don't really know how to express the feeling i am feeling deep down, but right now, THIS is really NICE...really nice! If it's meant to be, it will be! I have all positive thoughts. So where I think this is leading us? I do say to the best future together, I can't wait!

I agree with you on most of your views, and in answer to your question, I too am ready for a serious and meaningful relationship. I want to be in a relationship with someone that I connect with on every level: Spiritually, emotionally, physically, intellectuallly...a best friend (with chemistry:) Really, someone to trust, love, laugh with, cry with, play with, talk with...all of those things in a relationship of trust, communication, authenticity, and fun. I most tell you that in you I see most of this qualities and that makes me very happy. I am a romantic at heart and I want more than just sex with my partner.

I believe we could definitely workout something that would favor everyone (that's about moving) but, I seriously do not have such plans at the moment, I just needed to know what your views are like towards that, Who knows how things may turn out. Right now, everything seems , the operative word is seems, to be good so far, but then the actuality or the reality is what we need to look at which comes with getting to know more about each other through talking ,chatting and of course meeting .....Wishes are always for a good outcome of any situation and i too would like things to result in happier outcome.....Que sera Que sera: I am sure whatever happens will be as it has to be. Oh and for the records since you did mention it...NO, I am not looking to swindle older women, I am totally into you because i feel a great connection and chemistry. I really do see age as a number and I have no problems with that but if you do have problems with my age, let me know. Again, thank you for letting me know all the detials all. I appreciate all the info so much and thats one good thing because there will be no longer surprises when we so get together as for me, what you see is exactly what you get!


To be quite honest, I know I am not perfect, I am very far from it and so I am a work in progress. I know sometimes I take rash decisions and I mostly regret them, I would really want to be more calculative and I have been working on this with loads of improvement..... Like i said earlier, I had exchanged couple of emails with some people on here but I would say you are the only one I have really gone far with because I really feel like we are on the same wavelength just like i said before so be rest assured that I am going exclusive now with you! I am very happy that both of us are giving it all we have.... the sky is our limit if only we can work together:)


My Favorite colors are Blue and Red I would say, all shades of it! my musical tastes are so extremely eclectic that I tend to choose my play list either by my present mood or the mood I'd like to be in eventually! I enjoy modern, upbeat Celtic music - both instrumental and vocal (Shooglenifty is a great example of a Celtic band). I like some jazz, old-time crooners, current latin dance music, techno, upbeat/modern bollywood, Christian alternative bands, some modern country, even some hip-hop (if it's clean). I also like some heavier, guitar based stuff along with classical, and choral music - particularly acapella groups (currently enjoying Libera).

XXXXX I enjoy reading your emails, communication is a very important aspect of a relationship-- positive communication that is, so thank you for the lovely texts messages, the emails, the pictures are so beautiful and for the records, I love you just the way you are!!!! Your xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoo .

Baby, Please, I want you to know that even if it takes me a while to email you back, just know that You are always number one on my mind and i will never hesitate to get back in touch when I get the opportunity especially as I am travelling tomorrow. I know that treating each other with respect and supporting each other´s goals and dreams is very important. Communication is a key factor: I think if two people communicate well with each other a lot of difficulties can either be completely avoided or easily solved. I also think two people in a relationship should never take each other for granted. They should try to keep the romance alive. Partners should show each other how much they care regularly, not only once a year on Valentine´s day. !


My short term goals I can say are not much, I want to get a loving partner and full discovery of my self. I am at that point in my life that i feel everything should be falling in place, I want to find that special someone that I would live the rest of my life with, Someone who is open, caring, honest, trusting, responsible and Romantic! (now, I really have a deep feeling that my search is almost over!:) My Long term goals I think are more complicated and bigger, I would really want to develop my career and if possible expand to a very wider level. I am currently working towards that and the future looks bright, I am trying to set up a personal practice and all, its not easy but the Lord will be my strength. So what are yours? what are your short term and long term goals? What is the most spontaneous thing you have ever done?
You know, When looking back over my life so far, it is really difficult to pinpoint the one achievement or thing of which I am most proud of. After all, it is not the individual achievement that has shaped me into the person sitting before the computer today, but the accumulation of life's triumphs and disappointments, joys and sorrows, happiness and heartbreak that make me who I am. So I am grateful to God for everything!!

Well, well, my lovely one, I wish I could go on and on but I would rather run now to get stuffs done, my flight is for 9:45 PM tonight. I also want you to know that I feel great excitement when thinking about you or reading your emails.

Looking out for your email soonest!
Lots of Love!
Your Eddie

I've done all that I can out there regards this jerk - trying to put my anger and emotions to good use. It's exhausting and very emotional. I'm very sick about this whole situation and has taken its toll on me. I am now questioning myself on my life, my needs and what is wrong with me as I now clearly see all the signs and as I though of myself as someone who is pretty capability, not ugly or desparate, educated and has handled more trials and tribulations life has thrown my way, wondering what heck was I thinking? How stupid to fall for this BS to wondering if I can ever truly allow myself to open up to anyone now. To me this was the straw that broke the camel's back in my life and I know that with time,- but I will never allow myself to believe.

Even though the money hurts, the emotional aspect is my struggle - particularly as I had made it very I cannot take this on, for someone to continue and continue to lie and everything without no concience whatsoever and continually use god and all - I found myself questioning how god could allow these folks to use him in vain, but I know there day will come.

I have reported his email account to att.net - even though it doesn't matter bc he can always open another one, filed ICS report, filed complaint with match.com, file credit alerts, flag my accounts (just have to change everything now here to be safe) - hoping his XXX have to change his crap - Im sure he knows it was me - I have to just stop now. I appreciate anyone else who may have been contact to report his email address to [email protected]. File complaint with match.com on him as well as requesting they should be obligated to protect their consumer by requesting billing addresses or something of the sort to match the credit credit cards used - some kind of monitoring, security, something. I know it may be unrealistic, but maybe if people complain enough someone may here - all it can take is a lawsuit! For them to realise the severity. As I look back, the one thing I remember when I first joined match was the display of my "new" status and being bombanded with interest - I had just went through my emails and realizedseverl of them had the same signs. Match could put a email notice to MUST read when people open accounts reminding them of scammers instead of small fine print. just a thought.


I don't wish this on anyone - and it sadden me to see such cruel hearltess people in this world mess with really kind and caring people. I may not have been the best person in the world, but I alway care about others and would have given the shirt off my back to help anyone in need - this has changed me as I will no longer be that same person.

Hi Tina!
I'm really sorry that you've has this terrible experience of being scammed. The way that you're feeling right now is completely understandable and normal. I hope that you have some close friends and family members that you can talk to about what has happened. I don't know of any specific support groups for folks who have been scammed, but if you feel like it would help, please seek out some kind of a grief support group to help you get through this. We at Scamwarners are here for you as well!

Tina . It is not a help to close email addresses and as you say he can make a fresh one. Because we have it alive others can find it, but they will not see the fresh one. Alas too, sites like Match will not have credit card details which are held at a secure site for such transfers. We know scammers use stolen card details from phishing contacts and skimming. By phishing I mean those fake letters from banks asking for verification of details. Some people believe it! Match and others don't care who pays as long as they get money. Equally if they do delete a profile they can get paid all over again. There is a balance over deleting such profiles and some say leave fake profiles alone for others to find, and some say (like myself) remove them to destroy infrastructure. I had almost 30 fake profiles trashed the other day from reporting them, all same scammer, and only a few got left behind. Scammer can make new ones again but at least the time spent doing the others was wasted and perhaps some potential victims saved, however it's not an easy choice to make. I don't always go for deletions, but if a scammer is effective and hyperactive then I usually try. I am not being critical of you in any way. I hope you feel better about it and give it time and you will.

sorry, but I am sure he has several email accounts already as you cannot use the same email to open new accounts on match.com sites. I can retract my request to keep it out there. Also, Ive been doing searches on his email address, name, numbers, wording used and search engines still comes up blank?

okay - I see things are showing up - thank you.

I sent a note to att.net stating that he could be identified as a scammer if he continues to use the email. I don't really think they would cancel anyways. I didn't do anything with the 858-522-9415 his supposidly cell number maybe people can track from that. I know I did my search on this stuff during this whole thing on a few occassions that nothing popped up. least something is out there.

Its sad that match or other sites don't really care about their consumers b/c its true they just get more money out of it with new accounts. But like I said something like a lawsuit may make a serious statement to these companies - of course proving a fault on the sites part would be difficult and costly. who knows..

Thank you for this site, I wish I had found it earlier in my search.
