Information on romance scams and scammers.

This guy is using different names: General Joseph Taluto (email: [email protected]), together with his "adopted son" authentic omene (email: [email protected]), both registered in Accra,Ghana.
Other names are high ranged Generals, like Kenneth Hunzeker, General McCrystall, General Patrick Murphy, Gen. Petraeus, always the same story. Son needs money to pay his school fees, Son is in hospital after accident with a broken leg und lack of blood, another school fees, calls you Mom and if you don´t pay you are a wicked one, which will die for not paying. Threads from this socalled General Taluto, that he will send his guys from Iraq to you to get you arrested and so on.
I found out, that those two guys are in this business at least since two years. I already reported them to Gen. Talutos spokesman, Mr. Durr as well as to INTERPOL and German Bundeskriminalamt, since mostly women seem to be involved in this fraud.

You can find Taluto under different names in SKYPE and on Yahoo messenger, don´t answer any one of them, please.

One should publish this SCAM WARNINGS on top of GOOGLE as first message, so that everybody will read it immediately, after opening General Talutos side on Google, or give it to responsible departments in USA.
Regards

Dear Honey,

Gen. Stewart, Gen. Taluto, Gen. Hunzeker, Gen. McCrystall, Gen. Petraeus and Authentic Omene are all members of a Ghanian gang, lodged in Accra/Ghana and they are still operating as those people. I´m watching them since some months. 30 Minutes ago, both of them were online on Yahoo messenger. None of them is really existing. Authentic Omene is a Nigerian 419er. I received exactly the same mails than you a while ago, but was lucky enough to know from experiences about such cases.

Be careful, reacting on those mails at all, since those people can be dangerous, knowing where to find you. I received threats from this socalled Gen.Taluto - to get me arrested by his "guys" (American Army), because I didn´t agree with the payment for his "son" in Accra as a "mother".

Be careful

Regards
Chris

Welcome here bbunited2.

I'm sorry you got scammed by this (these) scammer(s). And of course you are right, there should be much more awareness on these scammers to prevent people fall for these scams. It will help a lot if you spread the word about scams. And maybe it's good for you to know that most scams that are reported here on the forums, will be on top of the first google page when someone is searching for them.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.

David,
thank you for your welcome.
For now I have chosen as my job to "hunt" those scammers. Earlier we had those phenomenons from Nigeria, but now all those people are coming from Ghana. Seems to be epidemia.
You are doing great job, hope that a lot of people will read your warnings, since, who doesn´t know those scammers, will take the messages serious.

Regards
Chris

There are still plenty in Nigeria, and other West African countries. And not just Africa. They're everywhere.

to Arnold,

of people would learn reasonable things from each other instead of those sh......., would be much better.
On the other side, they are too stupid, making so many mistakes, that one has to discover their frauds after very short time.
The problem is, that they are distroying the image of wellknown people at the beginning and if you can see, they are even working their way after two years without being stopped. That is what is bothering me - that one can´t lay hands on them.

Hello
When I was checking skype partners because of my strange experienc I found this site where I could see similar story thats mine. The last days I got more messages as General Walter L. Stewart Jr (I am retired Major.General Walter L. Stewart Jr, from Pennsylvania.working under united nation iraq because of my past experince.Divorced,,,) and General Peter Chiarelli (I AM PRESENTLY IN IRAQ FOR PEACE KEEPING) and dpatrickbolger (hello friend, Am Lt.Daniel Bolger from the United States army, am here to connect with friends all over the word....feel free to add me to your list), and Lt.Gen.Micheal D. Barbero (i was married but i lost my wife..all this while my life has being lonely.i job take a lot of my time right now am away from home.i am in Iraq for a peace keeping mission.i need a soul mate..) and even more from Ghana.
General Walter L.Stewart sent me more love letters and he called me his "wife" and wanted me to call his adopted son from Ghana.
Im sure these are all scam. Thank you for this site it helped me very much.

I agree. The way they are worded make it certain that are all scams. Can you add their email addresses please.
And welcome to Scamwarners.

Hello,
I would like to bring my contribution to this site.
I have been contacted via skype by major general patrick murphy. I usually don’t accept strage people contacting me via skype just like that, he sent a message introducing himself and stating he is looking for an old friend having same name as mine. I belived his story, and add him on my list. after 1 day he wasnt interested to find his friend anymore, he wanted me to be his friend, also pushing to accept his offer considering him a relationship…based on 2 days of talk, 2 pictures and lot of none-sense. The rest of the story is Same: divorced, one bilogical son of 14, and another son - adopted, seeking refugee to Ghana (why??? first strange reason to bring up), himself deployed in Iraq. His english strange and incorrect grammer. That was second sign of fraud. after 2 days of chatting I asked him to have a video chat, he refused polite under some pentagon watching him, bla bla, which was very contradictory with the fact that he was allowed to use skype for chatting with women from Iraq…:) Anyway seeing is believing, so I google him and I got on this site and some other. Good job with this site, guys! Keep it up, people will learn from this.
I add here my story and I underline issues like:
- strange english (not native level, if you can spot it)
- never go further with guys who refuse showing their face via webcam, at least.
- never send money!!!!! (we didn’t get to the point when he will ask for money)
- if your intuition saiz: there is somehting wrong, pay attention to that, your signals are better then your mind. It is an survial instinct who tells you to take off :)) Mine did!
- also it was wierd that his list has 700 contacts and was growing daily...that was very very strange for me.

I am thinking to carry on talking to this guy and post here every single chat we have…if that will help others.
Anyway: his ID is: major.general.patrick.murphy101

Does anybody know if we can notify the US army about this identity scamms?

Thanks.

ps: I have post this on other scamwarners site as well.

Hello edelweise!

Sorry you were targeted by this scammer. I'm glad you got suspicious before loosing any money. Thanks for posting your story it may help someone else avoid the scammer.

The US military is well aware scammers are impersonating soldiers but there is nothing they can really do about it. They have posted warnings such as this one http://www.army.mil/article/36242/cid-w ... nce-scams/

WOW. My wife was bored at work and was Googling family names when she came across this page. I can absolutely assure you that anyone emailing you from those email addresses - under the guise of being Gen. Walter Stewart, Jr. - is an identity theft and scammer, because General Stewart is my father.
Let's just say they got 100% of the details of his life and career wrong, outside of spelling his name correctly.

LARRY NICHOLSON SCAMMER alive and well - larrson42 is skype name

Tried to pick me up today, asking how are you, etc. Told him he had wrong person, and his response:
"Yes but i want to make the wrong person to a right person"
Total fathead.
He has the photo of the General in his Skype profile, as well as ALBANY NY, and kept trying to convince me he was the general, and asking me for my photo -( I just have orchids for my photo)
I pointed out he was an impostor, but I wrote it wrong and it autocorrected to "importer." He asks- "how do you am an in importer"
Twit.
So definitely one of those Ghana scammers. Told him so and that I was going to block him, and he should find something better to do.

Hope this helps

Just want to add:
Thank you for the site, I found it by Google search. Is there a way for it to be a header in Skype and other social media?
