Pre-scam Report:

This suspect contacted me recently (Oct 2015) on Love Struck Hong Kong (http://www.lovestruck.com/hongkong/) dating website.

Name: Kevin
Age:56
Nationality: British
Location: Hong Kong
Phone number (HK number): +852 6111 4129


Within a day of conversation on Whatsapp, I could tell easily that he is a scammer (I was scammed for money once so I know them now) so I confronted him and he blocked me on Whatsapp right away and hid his dating profile online from me.
Now the dating site has suspended his account but they might put him back on or there are ladies out there who are still communicating with this contact, I report in here.

In his own word:

Lived in Asia for a very long time, HK specially 15 years. Very happy here, work / social / activities all in good shape. Calm, organized, mature, life experiences. No drama.

Not Daniel Craig but not Frankenstein either.

Meet up, a drink & a chat. Chemistry needs to evolve, it cant be forced. Meet nice people & value their intellect.

ME (11:48): You got a video of... uh... "Kevin" as well?
ME (11:48): Send

------- The scammer immediately blocked me on Whatsapp--------
------ Then he hid his dating profile online from me -------------------




You can easily tell that he is not who he says he is, surely not 56, surely not a Managing Director of a retailer in his office in Hong Kong, surely not from the UK, but only and exactly sounds like a young uneducated and unintelligent man from developing countries.

Although the "email letter" they will send you after you developed an intimate emotions towards them is written with PERFECT ENGLISH, a script written by a native English speaker obviously. The letter could start by a love confession to you, commitment in life and relationships, or their plight in the past, then it will develop into the "email letter" asking you why and how they need money. - also in PERFECT ENGLISH.

These "email letters" (and they send you ONLY by email not by Whatsapp) were crafted by professionals (like by a HQ of the scammer gang) then edited by English native speakers, then circulate amongst scammers in the same gang so the "catch" stories always sound perfect with perfect English but each scammers working on YOU can't keep up with that as they have to improvise random conversations on Whatsapp. THAT is a big give away which they can do nothing about.





For more, pls read my other post of the case of Johnson Mosley (I will put up more information later)

Once you know he is a scammer. Stop all contact.

Hi

Thanks for your report. Then I guess the website (Love Struck Hong Kong) has released him back to the fish tank. I can't see his profile because he has hid his profile from me when I confronted him.

The web site said they will suspend his account "ukinhk2" while they investigate, and I guess they did and found "no suspicious activities" so they released him back. Scammers move onto Whatsapp too soon they don't leave a trace of "suspicious activities" on dating site private messaging functions where admins can access.

As you can see on my report, I did not get "scammed" by him. I stopped it way before he could even try anywhere near. I don't know if you can tell he is a scammer but to my eyes he is TOO OBVIOUS.

If the website put him back on, that's too bad, but then I have to hope the potential victims will do a Google search of his email or tell phone number when they become suspicious and hope they will find this report before they send money to this contact.


PS: And no, as you can see on his message to me that he doesn't want to put his pix on profile because "he is a MD of his office and want to be private about it". So he only sends you photos by email after he made contact with you.

PSS: And is it from Love Struck Hong Kong web site? Then "Last Activities: 3 months ago" is a false. The last he used to contact me through the web site was last week. Which address did you use to search? Apparently he has two, [email protected] given to me through website PM function is apparently by a mistake, he mistakenly sent me his "another identity as being Harry", he sent me his pix by [email protected] telling me his name is Kevin.
