Welcome to ScamWarners, I recommend that you contact the agencies which issued the documents to you and ask them what you should do.

Scammers typically are after the quick cash score. There is a market for real information from real people. It is very possible the scammer will use your information in a scam. This is why I recommend that you contact the issuing agency.

Just need a little help on what to do when the scammer is now threatening me. Here is the email he sent me last night when he found out I had posted him. I am not talking to him any more. But a little advice. He has only my full name. He also said he is registering on this site and was going to post that I was a scammer. I am not sure how that works.

You have only one option and that is to ignore his threats and to cut off all contact.

He wants money and the slightest sign that you'll give in to blackmail and he'll bleed you dry, and I've posted a news story recently of one woman who was driven to bankruptcy by one scammer, and he won't stop then. He'll make you take out loans, borrow from friends and even steal.

The simple truth is that he only wants one thing and that's money. There is no point in him doing anything that doesn't end up yielding cash. Spending time on the internet on revenge missions is wasted effort for him.

He doesn't know if that's a real picture of you and he'll never know for sure and it won't exactly hit the front pages of the local newspaper anyway. It might be embarrassing but I doubt anyone will care too much.

There are people known as scambaiters who are members of this forum and they target scammers and would gladly make this scammers life a nightmare if he makes threats. They are the scammers worst nightmare. Don't mention this to him but mention any threats he makes in the forum.

I think the website he originally gave you may be a genuine one and he's just 'piggy backing' on to it. These scammers wouldn't tell the truth if you put a flame gun up their rear end, and it can be very difficult to tell fact from fiction and, once you started out believing them, it's not easy to judge.

Don't let the way he's treated you harm your self-esteem. No matter who you are or how you look, he only wanted money. He was a scumbag, is a scumbag and will only ever be a scumbag.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

As to registering and posting here, scammers have tried before. As soon as a mod or an admin sees the post, the scammer will be banned and the post deleted. Scammers give themselves away with their writing anyway. Any anti-scam site will do the same--we've all seen this before.

BLOCK the scammer's email address. Change your email address if possible--if you can't set up a block, then at least set up a filter to send it to trash.

Do NOT continue to interact with the scammer. Do NOT try to negotiate in any way. If he knows he has power over you, he will try to use that power to extort money from you.

What did I say here viewtopic.php?f=13&t=61985&p=141871#p141871 Aquila, Just shows what a despicable rear passage he is! Of course SW would welcome him with open arms, but wether or not he is very satisfied with the reception is another matter. The Mods here- especially that tyrant Dotti -have evil ways with scammers and love :hug: their arrival. You are looked after here I can assure you. I would take the advice and laugh at the monkeys antics. :D

I. or 2pac, on the drive home i'm listening to Linkin Park or 80's music. i'm defined by all my lifes events, but i dont use those events as an excuse. i stand up for what i believe in, and have put my life on the line for those beliefs. i'm a loyal friend, i'm the one you call when your car breaks down in seattle at 3AM. but my friendship has a price, 2 strikes and your out. i'm a proud and happy man. i've been to the brink of life, and i live every day to the fullest that i can, but still with an eye on the future. i know who i am, and have no problem being me, so what u see is what u get. i know im not perfect, but i try my hardest. im a bit of an idealist, i truly think i can make a difference in the world, thats why i went back to afghan. like the butterfly effect(the theory not the movie) hopefully my actions here will have an effect somewhere down the road. i wanna start a revolution, but only against oil companies and gas stations. i hate MTV, except for ashton kutcher. i like to use the word incredulous, but not sure what it means. i like old school stuff, old school love jams; old school baseball uniforms, old school britney spears. i hate smelly people. i appreciate the simple things in life, family and friends will never be taken granted for again. i'm willing to try anything new, except when it comes to food. i'm a city boy from L.

My Perfect First Date
People who are real and are not fake. Be true and not fake. It is easy. I race,(well used to before some assmonkeys flew into the Towers), jump out of airplanes, travel overseas, am into submission fighting, work out (although that is not as easy as it looks, learning a few things and dammit if a diet ain't one of them. This is sukking ass, dude). stuff of that nature. Having said that, I would like to meet people who are interested in stuff like that. Not so much things that are dangerous, but fun to do.

OK we have the banks but we need the account details used, with the email text including it, with scam details and the email headers for proof. Can you do this to enable them to get shut down? Cheers.
