Hi Jimmy,

Glad to hear you will not be losing any more money to this scammer but even happier that you can now begin to heal.

You have done a very brave thing by posting the details which is likely to prevent somebody else from being scammed.

Please dont hesitate to ask if you have any more questions in the future and if you can, please call in from time to time to let us know how you are doing :wink:

Forgive my blunt and stark philosophy jimmy, but I note how you said that this episode had ruined your life.

I have a dark sense of humour but only one thing ruins your life, and that's death. Anything else is recoverable and you get over it, and I say that having gone through things like divorce and cancer. Neither of them are pleasant, but you pull through and start all over again, wiser and determined to enjoy yourself.

Once you stop contact the scam is over, and there's no point thinking about it any more. Face forward and march on - don't look back at what happened in the past.

Hi Jimmy and everyone,

I really hope you have recovered from your love scam experience and I am sure you are now closer to finding a real girl in the real world.

It looks like I have been contacted by your scammer too - since I received an almost identical email from someone claiming to be Caroline C Leo. She also has a diploma in business studies. And now she says she lives in SWEDEN!!! Maybe she got that idea from you!

Actually, she wrote "I had a diploma in business studies," which made me suspicious straight away.
-------------------------------
No good English speaker would write "had" unless she lost it and doesn't have it now!!! And there are just too many mistakes for someone with a business diploma all through the email.
-------------------------------

This is what the scammer claims:

I am Caroline Leo from USA , Dad from USA mom from USA , i lived and grew up in Richardson,Texas . I had a diploma in business studies. I am 28years old, my parent had one children, . I lose both parent and my younger brother in a car accident in long station road in 1995.

So to everyone - be warned if you are contacted by Caroline C Leo ([email protected]). She has a profile on match.com with her nickname : ibrowisky and this message in swedish:

Allt jag söker är kärlek, jag är ute efter för Familj orienterad typ av MAN

"She" is a 29 year old woman, from Håbo, Uppsala län, Sweden and has this discription of herself:

Jag letar efter en man, som jag kommer att känna sig lätt och intressant säkerhet och bekväma. Som jag kommer att vilja stanna varje minut och jag delar i hela mitt liv. Jag är lugn, med ett sinne för humor, jag är en god lyssnare och en trogen vän. Och nu är mitt främsta mål är att skapa en familj. Jag kommer vara glad för att starta en kommunikation med en man som har samma ambitioner.

I am new here, so I have a question for those with more experience on scamwarners:

Is there a way of reporting a scam member on most dating websites (or on match.com for example)?
Is this the best way of making a scam public - listing the details as I have in this post?

Thanks

Philip

Hi Firlino

Welcome to Scamwarners

Some dating sites are proactive and take great measure to keep the level of scammers down, no site is scam free regardless of any claims but I do know some that are close.

Reporting the scammers to the dating sites isn't really something I recommend but I dont discourage it either, a scammer can create a new profile in a few minutes anyway and the info we have on them is lost.

You will have far better results by posting the details of the scammer on a public accessible website like this one but if you have more time then other sites as well cant hurt.

Include the early emails, pictures and any of the information wherever possible and a link to the profile they were using as well as any details on the profile

Just remembering, I posted an answer to this question a while back on another site;

here it is
I understand how frustrating it is when you try to convince websites about a fraudulent member of their site, have you ever dealt with ebay in regards to scammers, I would sooner extract my own teeth than to attempt that again.

Anyway, to your question, some dating sites are very proactive in dealing with scammers and do a reasonable job of keeping their sites clear of scammers but no dating site is completely free of them.

I know it is of little consolation that the scammers profile is still there but realistically it wouldn't make that much difference either way, it is very likley the same scammer has several profiles on that site and many more on other dating sites, having one of those profiles removed is simply an inconvenience and a minor one at that, it happens all the time to them so they are prepared for it and like roaches coming back after the pest man has been they simply create a new profile using details they have saved and ready to go, it would take them less than 5 minutes to be on their way again.

The problem with that from our point of view is that while you have wasted 5 minutes of his time, you have removed one more piece of information about the scammer that a potential victim may find if they were to begin searching

Its a fine line when it comes to getting profiles closed as to if it does more good than harm and most of the scam advisors I know are a little undecided on the issue and generally agree to niether encourage or discourage the practice of having them closed.

I guess the point is, if you want to try and get it closed feel free, you wont really be doing any harm to our cause and you will inconvenience the scammer a little, there is even a very slight chance that a potential victim realises the person is a scammer because of it, but dont lose sleep over the dating sites inability to delete the profile.

If anything, leaving a comment on the profile as most sites will allow, saying it is a scammer would be much more productive anyway

Hi Philip, welcome to ScamWarners, it's good to see that you have recognised this to be a scam and haven't been fooled by the scammer.

We don't recommend reporting the accounts to the dating websites. If you do that then they will just open a new account and carry on scamming. While they are using the original account we know where they are and there is more chance of potential victims finding details here if they search for the details.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

  Hi again,    
        Thank you so much for getting back to me, and i am really sorry i couldn't email you as fast as i so much desired.please pardon me.  Let me tell you more about myself. I was born in new york brooklyn but later when i old enough to stay alone i had to move down to texas , lubbock USA.My dad is from USA  mum is from germany. i lived and grew up in United State of American. i had a diploma in business studies .i am 30yrs going to 31yrs this year , my parent had two children , me and my younger brother .. but he is late now. i lost both parent and my younger brother in a car accident in long station road in 1995. presently, am all alone with no family.. i do have cousins and paternal uncle, but i do not correspond anymore with them anymore because of the life they chose to live. But i am ok and doing wonderfully well now, except for old memories and the emotions that comes along with losing my loved ones. i am however certain that i will soon find the love of my life, raise my own family and live a good life with that special someone growing old and gray with each other.
                   I was in a relationship earlier before now but i had to quit the relationship 6 months ago, my ex-lover was unfaithful.  i caught him having sex with my best friend, i guess you know how devastating the feeling was since then i decided to be alone.
             since life has to move on, i just decided to find a man who will truly love me for who i am. i came across your profile on the dating site, i quite like what i see then i decided to contact you.                
           As a lady, i do not mean to be too forward by emailing you first, but i am a kind of girl that goes for what i like.  i got this dating site through searching engine and i wish to use it in meeting an honest, caring man to start a relationship with. maybe friendship first and one can never tell where that will lead to.
            The distance between us is quite much, and that makes me feel a bit discouraged in a way, but i had a second thought that love conquers all and it transcend space, distance and time.
              We only need to get to know each other better through continuous communication and if we are truly destined and truly meant to be together, then everything will fall in place in a short time. but one thing that is certain is that " Time will tell"
                 That is all about that, what i do?   I am into supply and sales of textile equipments and fabrics materials.  i own and manage a small, "one woman" business (i am the boss of myself) and i do hope to establish bigger in few years to come. i travel some times because of the nature of my job but i hope to quit traveling as soon as i settle down with that special someone.Presently now am in west africa nigeria,i came down here to get some local fabrics and textiles,I will be back soon.
               i love cooking , reading , watching movie. i love swimming , staying in door with that special someone.i also love kids. i am looking for an honest , caring man to start a relationship with. i have not found him yet but i am not giving up in my search. he must be self confident and presentable, all i want is true love, not a game player.some one who will love and adore me............well this is all i want, maybe i am helplessly romantic but this is just naturally me.

Welcome to Scamwarners

Thank you for posting the additional information, if you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask

Yeah, I think this is the same one....

Calls herself Laura Smith. Email: [email protected]. FriendFinder username: Laura_1212

I got curious when she told me, "both parent in a car accident in long station road in 1995". I figured that's a pretty specific spot and might yield me something on Google....

It did :)

I'll try and get a picture for yahs

Hello,
...How are you?..it's me Laura..what are your plans for the week..hope to catch some fun..I live in UK. I'm 30,single, never married.My parent passed away long time ago, sad memory. I'm the only child of my late parent, I stayed alone in UK until about 6months ago when i decided to move back to my parents house in USA....My favorite color is blue, i like blue so much. I love swimming, surfing, I'm a great fan of the beach too! I like to hang out
with friends.I am, into importation of fabrics model as part-time. What about you? I'm presently on a business trip to Nigeria. I will be through here in Nigeria tomorrow if you don't mind maybe i could come for vacation to you.I would like to find a good man , a man who takes my feelings serious,a down to earth man, a man that i am attracted to but i
am not too particular. I want to be with a man that would make me happy for the rest of my life. I'm looking for a lover and that would be good friend to me as well. what about you?
Hope to read from you soon
Laura cares

Hello..
How are you doing? hope fine, i feel really happy and excited to read from you again. well, i can observe that you are a very sincere man unlike other guys that mailed me on the dating site. I am not out for anything but to find the love of my life, and i am willing to date some one based on love and trust. I have been hurt by men in the past and i don't want such to happen again. I don't wanna rush though but i must confess i am interested in you. Your profile is quite attractive to me and i like what i see. There is this magnetic aura about you that seem irresistible to me. I sincerely get nervous with this feelings but i am not scared to move along and savor the passion and fantasies. But i need to know what you really want in life.
I have watched dad treated mum bad when they were both alive, and i don't want to live a life with such history ,she met my dad in Copenhagen, but dad treated her so bad, i was so young then but i know what was going on between them. I need a man i can live and grow old with. The high rate of divorce in the world is pissing me off. I want a lover that i will love me with all that i am, someone that will understand and accept me, just the way i am. And i will be loyal to him till my dieing days.....
well nice work you do there and i think its great to talk to you ..i would love to come for a visit to you as your know after is hot weather i would like to feel that cold so i would feel better after all this stress over here ....and i find you so interesting
I have dreamed so much about visiting your country....But taking a vacation is at side and also finding some one special is on the other side to me you sounds fun and interesting to me,
Have you ever had any heart breaks with woman in the past? what is your experience like? can you date a British woman?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Your new friend

Laura cares

Hello and how are you doing?
You know, life is painful, always unpredictable,
I am so fool when I was young, I make mistake or did the wrong thing often,
I lost my confident when i lost my love one ( my Family), I learn many lesson from mistake,
people will get clever after learn a lesson.
people become mature, at least how to survive.

Now, Today is Birthday my,still single ,no children and live with no parent,luckily, I have a stable job.I have a quite happy life now.

Every one do not want a bad happen things, but past is past.not need to remember it, life is short,we need to be think today and tomorrow, not yesterday, because yesterday is past.
we need to be face the future, brave , confident and experience make me become strong and powerful..

you are so much more of just am man you are every woman dream i really love the way you but it into writing you have shown me hope and believe you have given me happiness from within

i really cant say much all i want you to know is that you are very special

Welcome to Scamwarners.
Scammers use and share scripts, and fatal car accidents feature in many of them. So it may or may not be the same scammer.

by itsme Thu Apr 29, 2010 2:54 am
Have'nt got time right now
But laura Smith is most definitely a scammer
She is by pen name on Mate 1.... ebaycum11
I have heap of emails from her that reflect the ones already posted here.
I t is extremely hard to find out anything about her unlike some others i have come across
her current email is
Laura smith <[email protected]>
she does not go on IM and
she tugs the heart extremely well.
She does not come straight out and ask for mon3y
but from my experience works upto it by asking for the closest airport to You so
she can book a flight to you.
Hasnt happened yet as i havent given her details
but i think if i gave her airport details the next mail will be
can you pay for ticket as a cheque from american express she got hasnt cleared
ive got a copy of it??????
Take care every one especially with people om mate 1
It seems to me to be a cesspool of scammers.
Will post more specific details on My "Friend and Lover" Laura LOL
later when i have more time

Hi. A couple of weeks ago, I subscribed to a dating site. They try to keep out spammers, bots and the like, but it is clearly a hard battle. Today I noticed a message in my "filtered messages" folder and found it so strangely similar to a lot of mail from other people I had previously been in contact with at that site that I mailed her and acceded to her request that we correspond by private mail, giving her mine in return for hers. The resulting note from her to my private e-mail account led me to do a search on the phrases "diploma in business studies. I am 28years" and "car accident in long station road in 1995". My search led me right here, and I discovered that the person(s) whose private note to me was so surprisingly similar to other notes I have received (young women falling madly in love with me on studying my profile) has/have been very active under other names for quite some time... What really set me going was the remarkably primitive English from someone who claims to be half English and half American and have a diploma in business studies. Anyway, this is the note I received today. You people may find it somewhat familiar too, though the lady is now called Faith Alex, with the e-mail address [email protected]:

Thank you so much for getting back to me on the site , well Let me tell you more about
myself. I am Alex Faith, born in London, UK to a British dad America mum. i lived
and grew up in London, UK. I had a diploma in business studies. I am 28years old,
my parent had two children, me and my younger brother. But he is late now. I lose
both parent and my younger brother in a car accident in long station road in 1995.
So presently, am all alone with no family Just my grand mom who is now a
missionary in Santiago , Chile. I do have cousins and paternal uncle, but i do not
correspond anymore with them because of the life they chose to live...so i have to
recently move on with new live..... I see myself all alone with no family but i am OK
and doing wonderfully well now except for old memories and the emotions that

the love of my live and raise my own family and live a good life with that special

We only need to get to know each other better through continuous

that ' Time will tell' That is all about that, what i do? I am into supply and sales of
factory equipment such as generators plant,tractors etc. I own and manage my
business myself (i am the boss of myself) and i do hope to establish bigger in few
years to come. I travel some times because of the nature of my job but i hope to
quit traveling as soon as i settle down with that special someone.
I love cooking , reading , watching movie. i love swimming , staying in
door with that special someone.i also love kids. I am looking for an honest , caring
man to date and have as my husband.i have not found him yet but i am not giving
up in my search. He must be self confident and presentable, all i want is true love,
not a game player.some one who will love and adore me...........well this is all i
want, maybe i am helplessly romantic but this is just naturally me.

Please kindly send me some of your picture... I cant wait to hear back from you
Take care of yourself and tell me all about you

Hi All

Recently put a profile up on an online dating site

Received an email from a Jacelle Ceasar which looked promising. Very poor English but tried not to judge. New to the whole internet dating scheme. After exchanging a couple of emails some things did not add up.
Decided to try and google a couple of things. "long station rd 1995 car accident" led me to this site. Things became clear pretty quickly. I was being scammed. Please refer to below emails - Sound familiar?
