Information on romance scams and scammers.

Reported by a romance scam victim, she's still looking for the rest of her emails and photos of him.

The story for this scammer was:

47 year old widower from the UK

Works for Chevron Oil on an oil rig on an island off of Nigeria

Has a 5 year old daughter named Marissa who lives with his mother, Diane Doyle, in Middlesbrough, UK

Claimed he had to be flown from the oil rig to Lagos by a pilot named Erik Olav and had to be hospitalized. Told her he needed money to get out of the hospital so that he could go home to the UK. The names of the doctors he gave were James Todd and James Momoh.


Unfortunately, this victim did send money to him and gifts to the UK. She ended up losing a substantial amount of money. I will add more information as she provides it, but I wanted to post a scam warning now because this one hasn't been reported yet.

He's also using the email address [email protected]

This was sent to the victim by the scammer as "proof" of his job.

Subject: Here is my story
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2015 01:56:58 +0000

How was your day? I hope you had a good day and where did you parents go for vacation? I would love to ask are you talking to other persons apart from me? How many men have you dated? I just wanna know more about you and here is more about me.

I was born into the family of Dr Andrew and Maria Doyle on the 26th day of April 1970 in Newcastle, United Kingdom. I'm the only child for my parents. My dad was diagnosed with Cancer and unfortunately I lost him December 23 2012 and he was 72 years old. I was depressed and devastated but I thank the LORD for his blessings upon my life and for seeing me through those sad times.

Have you traveled outta the states?

I had my first degree in 1994 from the University of Liverpool, Bachelors in Safety and Health. I had my Masters degree in Project Management from the same university in 1995. I met Susan (my late wife) in my first year in the university and we eventually tied the knot 2000. We were blessed with Marissa 10 years later but unfortunately I lost her to the cold hands of death during the process of delivery as a result of Primary Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH). Since I'm the one that takes care of Marissa after her mom's death, I always try my possible best to make her happy all the time. She makes me happy whenever we are together because she reminds me of her mom. She's my joy and I hope this isn't gonna be a problem because I go to her grave thrice a year to drop flowers. I'm ready and willing to start a new life because it's been more than 4 years that I've been mourning her and I think it's the right time to start afresh and to my greatest surprise here you are. Who can tell what the future holds I know it's only GOD so lets just give it a try if you agree with me on that.


As for my health, I try to maintain a healthy and stable life so I eat healthy. I love Vegetables, Seafood, Chinese, Italian and Mexican. I love to exercise at least 3 times a week. I drink champagne, white wine and red wine few times.

I think these are the basic things you need to know about me :

I'm a simple, honest, outgoing man that loves to live life to the fullest and also I make sure I put God first in all what I do and make sure he knows my next step in Life. People notice my positive outlook on life, and how that makes me inquisitive and articulate. I spend time when I'm either working but if not then I'm either watching movies, watching football and tennis live or I'll be reading some books. You know soccer is called football in the United Kingdom and it's the main sports there. I supported my boyhood club Newcastle FC while growing up until I moved to London when I started supporting Arsenal FC before I moved to the united states but I still watch Arsenal sometimes on TV but here in the states it's mostly baseball and basketball so I'm not a fan of any club yet...lol . I'm good at playing board games such as scrabble, chess and monopoly. I play monopoly with Marissa because she's always happy each time I play with her.

I also enjoy cooking, playing golf and listening to music ( Country, Classical, Gospel, Blues and Jazz). I enjoy going camping, going to the beach, going to the movies and taking my daughter shopping and also I'm good at what I do and I try to be perfect in taking care of my family as well. I'm quiet and intelligent when I say intelligent, I'm human, I make mistakes but what I do believe is that there is good found in every situation, sometimes you just have to look really close.


What I'm looking for in my partner :

I'm looking for a partner who has all this attributes together in hope that we can enhance each others lives and encourage each other to do more than we ever thought possible. I'm looking for a genuinely good person, someone who enjoys doing things for the people they care about. Someone who strikes a balance in life, interjects humor when appropriate, and knows when it's alright to be serious about things, and also would LOVE you for who you are. Someone settled, polite, sensitive, educated and literate, simple, non-smoker, honest, hardworking and serious and so far I can feel you've got all this attributes.
While we've got that at the back of our mind, I'll not forgot to mention Love and Romance which is very vital in a relationship. I expect my partner to treat Marissa right, as I would expect Marissa to treat her with respect. I would treat your sons right because I love kids. Marissa is 4 years old and her birthday is on the 27th of May which means she'll be 5 soon. The big K is coming close...lol


About my job:

I'm a Safety and Health officer and also a Project Manager. I work from Mondays-Fridays, 9 am-5 pm. My job is making sure safety is the number priority during the process of drilling It's as simple as that but the harder part is when I'm being given projects to execute. Projects like Constructions, Building, Supplying of drilling equipment, setting up Scaffold etc. I'm fortunate to have been to different parts of the world because of my job. Places such as Hungary, Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, China, Thailand, and New-Zealand.

More-also, I've traveled to different states in the united states and I feel so blessed and happy about that. I lived in Middlesex, NJ until I moved to Chicago, IL so I'm getting to know this place and I feel you'll be of great help.

Here are some pictures for you and I hope you'll like them. The 1st Is I and my mom, 2nd is me, 3rd is Marissa and I, 4th is friends and I playing golf, 5th is me alone playing golf, 6th is I, my late Dad Marissa and Diane(mom-in-law), it was taken 2 years ago in Paris, 7th is Me at the beach, 8th is Marissa and I in the snow and the last is Susan(my late wife) and I,

I hope you tell me more about yourself and family and things you enjoy doing and also send some more pictures to me because I really enjoy reading your last email.

Take care of yourself! I hope you can write back as soon as you can and also send some more pictures ......Cheers



Barden

I opted not to post the rest of the photos from this email because there were other innocent people in the photos. But these photos give you a good idea of the photos this scammer is using.
