I met Eddie, Ed, Edd or Edward Kellino on Zoosk.com a year ago this past April. I also sent him alot of money. Same story, he had gone to London on business, bird flu vaccine, called me all the time, talked to his "so called sister" Tanya ([email protected]), same exact e-mail letters, I also fell madly in love with him, was devastated when he stopped contact with me last October. I also got the email saying his cell had been disconnected. I did ask alot of questions, things didn't make sense, he supposedly was a doctor, yet he couldn't tell me what he was diagnosed with or what meds he had been prescribed (he had a few medical emergencies - thus the request for money, among other reasons).

I really dont want to give this asshole any more attention then he deserves. He is scum. I am thankful that GOD has given me some closure as I didn't know what happened to him, I actually thought he had become ill again, now I can really move on with my life.

I will happily share with you, that I have been in contact with an investigator from the South Wales Police. I have forwarded his pictures, emails, facebook profile information, passport (fake) and all the contacts he had me wire funds to. I know for a fact that Mr. Andrew Sarwar was to be arrested a few weeks ago, Muhi Uddin was already arrested and all his assets frozen. Mr. Neil Richards (Economic Crime Unit, Rumney Police Station in the UK) assured me that they are investigating him. It's only a matter of time, his ass will rot in jail.

I had also googled him, used email finder, etc. to research him and found nothing until now. I don't know what possesed me to look him up and thanks to you found this. I was shocked for the first minute but now feel such relief.

None of us should feel ashamed, after all we where being genuine caring human beings and don't let him or the kind like him, ever take that away from you. There is someone deserving of that love out there for us, it's only a matter of time until they show up. Believe me he is gonna get exactly what he deserves and then some.

I hope my news brings some piece of mind to you and any others that have experienced the same nightmare!

Sonia. Sorry you were scammed and lost money.Please publish links and fake documents here. Please note that the correct spelling for the place in South Wales is Rhymney. I hope you have contacted through official channels. http://www.south-wales.police.uk/en/con ... ion/fraud/
Also please include email headers including any emails the "police" have sent. You will not get any money back I am afraid. I ask because all the policemen I know would call themselves by their rank and not plain "Mr". Please be aware that anyone who says they can get your money back is a liar and a scammer.

This is just sad and the scum of scum of scum of scum... has been using the same MO for quite some time. He is a very patient one and does take the time to build the illusion - took him a long time to hook me and when he did he went fully in with line and sinker - he fully integrated himself into my life and noted every little detail and used to his advantage - in particular special dates and occassions - he has his notes well in order. What just sickens me was one of his last emails to me, he put in a special little note to my grandson (whom he use to talk to on the phone all the time) sending all his love.

As I look back now, there were many times I try to throw him off (where he lived, his work, the weather, his sister, his mother, particulars to conversations...blah blah blah) - but he didn't mess up. He never paused or messed up, and always noted or mentioned a particular detail that related to me. Including when I would call (even blocking or calling from different numbers) to see if he would mess up somewhere. I am still dumbfounded on how he didn't confuse me with now 4 of us at the same time.

But the reality is that he fed and fed me to where I had finally gave in and continued and continued (even when he was at the end of his con) - I know I am not that dumb, but the reality is this was something I never knew (particulary the time and pateince part - as I said I didn't fall quickly or easily )- that it was just plain and stupid on my part as now I look back and see I should have followed what I felt from the beginning in particular he wasn't my "type" - my number one rule I failed to follow is do not trust someone who says "trust me!" as every person that I have ever met that has said that to my face was a liar!

I am broken on the inside but will move forward, because this scum will not bring me down. I am a very much strong and confident woman. I am mad that he made me and labelled me as one of his "victims" - I refuse to be such! Yes, his day will come sooner than he expects as "Venegence is mine saith the Lord" and I believe in karma and his will come hard and fast to him and those who are involved in his con.

I don't want to lose faith in people, becuase I know there are many good people in this world - right now I am suscpicous of everyone wondering what are the motives or thoughts - this ruined me in a sense that I will not allowed anyone and I mean anyone close in without having doubts bor questions.

The dating sites are jokes - as I have not put my profile back in public view, but I have scan and knowing what I know now - the majority all are suspicious profiles and have red flags everyhwere. Particularly to those who are in my area - come on men in the late 30s early 40 seeking woman between ages 35-60 - red flag or the mileage thing too...

I am concerned as well re: who you are working with on recovery - be careful they are not trying to work a recovery scam here as he is not in the UK. I agree you should post all the information and pictures you have on this scum and his scam. I don't know how to post the pictures without it referring to my name on photobucket - so if you can do it great! this will help others who do searches on this scum - becuase like the rest of us, we all did our searches and nothing showed up - well now it does.

It if was left up to me, I rid all these scums - but I have to put my faith in god to take care of this for me!

I actually received the initial letter from the South Wales Police / Heddlu De Cymru (on their letterhead) in January 2012. I did do my research, I looked up their website, called & also checked them out through the US Embassy. As far as the correct spelling...it is Rumney (Rumney ward is in the Rumney / St Mellons Area, part of Cardiff Local Authority) DC 3255 Neil Richards and you can reach him at [email protected] is the email address in case any of you want to contact him & add yourselfs as witness'. I am very well aware that I will not be getting my money back. As far as it being yet another scam, I don't think so, because all that has been asked of me is for information, pictures, names, emails, etc. I guess I will worry if they ask for a recovery fee of some sort.

I begun talking to him in April 2011. It was a really bad time for me, stress had made me physically ill, was severely depressed and suffered from severe insomnia. I can say that I was a real bitch to deal with. He called me every night & would stay on the phone with me until I fell asleep. He was very positive, encouraging & supportive (even if they were all lies) he helped me get through that dark phase in my life. I think if he added up the time & money he spent on calling cards, I may end up oweing him, thats why the $$ is not what matters, it's the emotional investment that took the biggest toll. I can say that I truly grieved his loss but I went through the motions and now I am in a good place, GOD is good, he has blessed me with a amazing new job. I have a very loving family & beautiful kids. I will not let him make me a victim. Time heals all. Please know that you too will get through this.

One interesting piece of information. I dont know about you guys, but the pictures that were posted of him are not the same ones I have of him. I have pictures of a 6'2 african american, thick athletic body, bald. He also sent pics with his supposed mother & sister (beach blonde). If you look him up on facebook - you will see. Staying angry only poisens you, please love yourself enough to let all bad go. Take care!

He probably used pictures of other people. So who knows who these poor men really are. He has surely assumed someone else's identity. Which is what makes captureing these scums so difficult.

I also want to clarify that in no way, shape or form do I intend to tell you how to or not to feel. I am simply sharing my story & what helped me get to a better place.

Hi Sonia -

I understand, he was very well endearing and listened and talk through everything whether it was daily or things happening in my life as well - BUT, it was all part of his con too and no matter what is was his game... I began talking to him in August, it wasn't til December till I fell in love (and the way he did was very calculating and manipulating - he was very detailed and he did it being very loving, caring, sincere...Blah Blah Blah) - It took him a very long time to hook me, and I fell hard - the emotional toll hurts the most as he played with mine/our feelings and I am not sure with you, but took it farther than he should even till continuing on and on and on. It is very cruel and wrong, very wrong.

I can't find him on facebook, can you post the link. I believe I have the same pictures too as well as the others. I uploaded to photobucket, but it went under my personal folders and when I try to add, the files refers to my real name, which I do not want to share. If you can post on here that would be great, so others can find in any searches - hopefully to avoid others from getting scammed and hurt!

PROFILE HIGHLIGHT

Seriously, i really love to laugh and being around happy people, so thanks for stopping by!

Aren't you tired of reading profiles that say things like, "I like watching movies and going to nice restaurants"? Why stop there? "I like breathing and eating food!" I promise not to bore you with stuff like that. Instead, I will bore you in other ways! :-) If you spend the next few minutes reading my profile, you will see that I am not right for everyone, but I may be a great match for you.
I'm not going to tell you that I like having fun, traveling, and walks on the beach. Instead, I will give you a glimpse into what makes me tick. My quest to find a great match is difficult only because I'm slightly picky but I do I have to warn you…you are about to meet someone who could make you very very happy… 'grin'

I'm honest, fun loving, easy-going and a romantic at heart. I'm looking for someone that is warm-hearted and honest. Who respects herself and others. She is charming, affectionate, a romantic by nature and loves to stay fit & healthy.I'd like someone I can share my day with and laugh. Laughing is really important to me. My feeling on love-at-first-sight is that it can happen. And if it did, that would be great. To me, romance means being with a lady who is not afraid to be show emotion, hold hands, long slow kisses, close dances so we can feel each others heart beat. Getting that feeling when kissing that more good things are to come. Feeling so comfortable with that person that you are willing to share just about anything
I'm looking for someone who works hard at what she is passionate about, and is willing to work hard at making a relationship work. I'm looking for someone who is patient, who enjoys my silliness and admires my elegance. My ideal woman is one who will work with me to create a wonderful, happy, welcoming home. I love my life but I just know that it would be richer with you in it. I am sane and happy and ready to commit to you. I'd like my partner to be emotionally secure, personable, and optimistic. You will get bonus points if you have no delusions about finding someone "perfect." I do have a couple non-negotiables: I would never consider dating someone who is an atheist, agnostic or a chain smoker, but i can understand if you are trying to quit. (no offense smokers, it's just a personal preference.)

So if this sounds like you, then write away and make my day but don't wait too long or someone else may sweep me off my feet!
If I take the time to email you it's because I'm genuinely interested in something I saw or read in your profile, I'm not here to serial date or just hook up. I don't do random! So drop a line, send up a smoke signal, a telegram (what's that??)just give me a sign. In the meantime - happy hunting! and thanks for checking me out!

Lead me into love
by Anita Baker

In case he change his numbers or anything that was tagged, I am trying to prevent others for falling a victim to him.

I am also really extemely upset with match.com. They allowed him back on using the same profile. He just update the profile name and city (he forgot to unfavor me) that is how he showed up back up on my profile. I written to match again, but they don't really care. I have blocked him from my page and I don't have my profile public anymore.

Thank you.

Hi Sonia - I complained again to match I think they blocked his account again - they are idiots as they let him use the same account he just modified.

I tried the link, nothing came up.
by Tina2012 Tue May 01, 2012 12:30 am
I check match and unblocked him, his profile is not available - his picture/name still shows up on my favorite, but profile is unavaible so I'm guessing match blocked his account. If you have an account on match you can complain too by his profile name.
