A widower for 3 years after his wife died (after 13 years off marriage) in a carcrash visiting her family in Ghana. His daughter (Mandy)now stays with her grandmother in Ghana until he's back from Kabul, Afghanistan. Unfortunately he can't send money from Afghanistan to her for schoolfees etc. Just today he's asked me if I could?! Yeah right!! No way.... Started searching and ended up here; I am shocked!! Feel so sorry for the guy on the photo's!!!

After a bit of research I found out that his emails come from the Sunnyvale area. :twisted:

Sunnyvale is the location of yahoo's servers. This only means that the scammer sent his emails using a protocol like NNFMP, which strips the originating IP address, leaving yahoo's location in the headers.

Since this scammer actually references Ghana, this is almost certainly where he will really be located.

He also goes by the name of Nicholas Handy no middle name his daughter Mandy is now 13 years old. His yahoo address is [email protected]. He claims to be 50 years old and has just left the service on May 20th 2013. He went to Ghana to get his daughter who is living there with his friend Samuel Fianko they live in Accra Ghana. I hope that this will help someone. His user name on the Christian dating site that I went on was AZSOULMATE. This was the first time that I had ever gone on one of those sites and the last time, I originally did it as a joke but met a lot of interesting men, a couple I actually spoke to on the phone they gave me their phone numbers and as I called them I blocked my number. I suspected this guy because his English was broken and he told me that he was from the states, born and raised in Florida and later moved to Arizona. I will not go into the rest of the lies he told because all of the stories sound the same, so you already know pretty much what was said.

Thank you all for being brave enough to tell your stories here and for allowing others to know that it is okay to want to be in a loving relationship we just must be careful.

God Bless All of You and I Pray that God will Bless you to find what it is that you are looking for and hoping for.

Sincerely,
Sucker/Idiot

p.s. I call myself that because I have all of my life fallen for the sob story, or wanted to help those who were hurting. I hate to see people hurting or sad. Now my heart is harden because in life so many even family members has taken advantage of me and I blame no one but myself because people are who they are and they do what they do. If I were to get angry with people for doing what comes so naturally to them then I might as well get angry with the dog who barks when I walk past the gate that keeps him locked up, why does he bark? Because that is what dogs do, they Bark and thieves do what comes natural to them they lie, cheat, steal, swindle and scam.

He also goes by Nicholas Handy and has pictures of himself and daughter, he does have a facebook page, Nick Handy is the name you would search for.

Just to clarify for those who are not familiar with these scammers:

He has photos of a man and child on his facebook page. He claims to be the man in the photos, but he is not. He does not even know the man or the child in the photos. He is simply using the same stolen photos that have been circulating for years.
