RE: ETHAN BECKFORD alias whoever the hell he is.
Update. See my initial post under my name Watch Out In AZ. Here is what I did. I first became suspicious of Mr. Too Good To Be True with his soft spoken English accent with a hint of Irish/Scottish/New Zealand/Swiss or something secondary accent. He never really wanted to stay on the phone too long. Had to go take a shower, Nana was calling, he was driving, wanted to go lie down, etc. 85 percent of me fell for this guy. The other 15 percent was all gut instinct using my head and not my heart but I did want to believe him because he was ever so charming and had an answer for EVERYTHING. Very believable. He is GOOD and totally the James Bond of scammers. Nigerians have nothing on this jerk. Once he got "detained in Dubai" and needed $6,500 which then dropped to $2,500 - $3,000, my antennas went up. But I played along with him calling him to make sure he was OK, telling him he could stay at my home and I would feed him and take care of him once he was released. I miss you, I love you, etc. He supposedly had a reservation at the Marriott in Scottsdale, AZ. Even knew the names of the towns here, etc. His original Match.com profile indicated he was 52 but he certainly looked much younger and that he was in Chandler, AZ so he pretty much just picked a local town here in AZ where he was going to move to on February 10. Once he got me on the hook, February 10 turned into February 4 with the one way ticket from London to Dubai via Paris, De Gaulle emailed to me. Then the KLM itinerary after the "precious and rare gem" purchase emailed to me for February 5. I noticed that in one of his oh so loving emails he indicated that he would reimburse me for the "Wink" on Match but he wanted "life time installments" so he would never have to let me go. I found that odd because I never sent him a "Wink". He emailed me with all the same crap you all have heard and read.
When he became "detained in Dubai" I did some on line research about being detained in Dubai. This is certainly a reality. People do get detained in Dubai. I found it odd that he did not want to contact the British Consulate/Embassy for assistance as if I were detained in Dubai, first place I would call is the good old USA Embassy to get me the hell of out there. I found a very well respected and legitimate non-profit organization called Detained in Dubai and contacted them for assistance. He did not wanted the authorities contacted. Again, things that make you go hhhmmmmmm. He even had the balls to ask me if I had an equity line of credit so he could sell the jewels, not have to pay taxes and the buyer did not want the funds deposited into any account but rather a secure one. Yea right, like he wouldn't drain thae equity account of mine if I even had one. I continued to kind of play along with him by calling him and being all sweet and concerned until my research was concluded during the course of this past week. I found an email from a woman in Fitchburtg, MA (
[email protected]) who posted a help request on
www.avvo.com/legal-answer/how long can someone be detained in a dubail detention center. Same geologist story, drained his account in England to purchase the gems, doesn't have the paperwork for the Dubai authorities, etc. Poor girl. Then I got seriously pissed off reading her email. Two attorneys told the poor lady that he or she should contact the British and/or US Embassy in Dubai. Funny, he only wanted $500 from her. I continued to call him promising to get him the money. I then received a call from a very nice and understanding lady at the totally legit Detained in Dubai organization. Again, they are a non profit organization in London compromised of attorneys, business leaders and authorities who help foreign nationals regardless of nationality or financial means get the hell out of that place if they are detained for something stupid like having their prescription medications, etc. I told her the whole story about myself and you ladies as well. She is going to put out a bulletin through her organization. I would recommend you all contact this organization at
[email protected] or
[email protected]. Their telephone number is 011448444142993 or 011447050686745. They are a worthwhile organization and their worthy endeavors should not be clogged up with women trying to help Mr. Rare Rubies Diamonds Sapphires and Gold Dust. I then called my local FBI office in Phoenix, AZ. They are totally aware of this jerk and advised me to register an internet complaint at
www.ic3.gov which I have done. All the while I'm calling love of my life Ethan Beckford telling him I will have the money soon and will send it via Western Union and call him with the code. I even told him that I was distrustful of Mr. Mohammed because I am originally from NYC (true) and lost friends and relatives during the 911 attack on the Twin Towers (not true) I was living in Washington DC on 911. Of course the bleeps hit the Pentagon too but that is beside the point. He told me I should forgive them. Unbeliveable. Even the victims of 911 don't shake this guy. How he sleeps at night is beyond me. Anyway, once I reported him to Detained in Dubai.org and the FBI, I decided to just mess with him a bit more. So last night I called him and woke his sorry bleep up. Of course, he was so happy to hear my voice. I told him that his hot American gal was calling and that I had just sent him the money via Western Union and asked him if he had something to write with. He sounded groggy of course because he was probably sleeping. He told me he could not wait to get out of there. I told him I know baby and that I was about to go take shower and wished he was there with me to take a shower together. Guy was always asking me what I was wearing so I figured I'd tease him a bit before I dropped the ax. I told him I would read the Western Union money transfer code very slowly to him and that he should repeat it back to me and he agreed. I then said, "OK here is the code..." and I then said the following to him: "I"LL MEET YOU AND ALL YOUR STINKY SMELLY ARAB FRIENDS IN HELL. DON'T EVER BLEEP WITH A WOMAN FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK. CHEERS, MATE" and I hung up. He called me back because apparently he did not "understand" the Western Union code I had just read to him. Hee hee....so I said, OK Baby....I'll read it again. And I said the same exact thing to him again only louder and slower. Payback is sweet. I feel so sorry for you ladies who actually sent this ass money. Feel free to email me at
[email protected] if you need to talk or have any questions. I URGE YOU TO REPORT HIM TO THE FBI AND THE DETAINED IN DUBAI ORGANIZATION. Not much they can do probably nor Match.com as I'm sure he has now disconnected his phone number 011447700075976 and email
[email protected] but the more women who report this guy, the better. And by the way Ethan and your buddies....you will have to answer to God one day. Better start practicing how you're going to get through the gates baby. I've got a free pass. Not so sure about you mate......
