I’m actually posting this for a friend of mine who is too embarrassed to do it herself, even though I told her she isn’t the only one that this has happened to.

OKCupid
Raymond (Ray) Kean
Location: Elmont, New York
Age: 43
Marital Status: Divorced
Children: A 3 year old son named Alex
Occupation: Project Manager with Total Energy
University: Graduated with a Degree in Petroleum Engineering at Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Cell Numbers used: 516-934-1692 / 516-605-3428 / 516-535-0449

He is supposedly an only child that was born in San Antonio, Texas, but spent most of his childhood in Oslo, Norway as his parents were employed by the United Nations. His father is American and his mother is Italian. His father supposedly died in 2008 from cancer and his mother is currently in Italy getting treatment for breast cancer. His ex-wife (who is a former drug-addict) has custody of their son Alex and they live in Sacramento, California with her new husband who was her high school sweetheart.

Ray had contacted my friend through OKCupid and pretty much kept in contact with him through the site. She said after a month or so, they began using Viber to contact one another. Sometime in August, she received a message from him saying he was going to Istanbul to complete a job that he had been working on earlier in the year and that he would be back within a week or two. The first week she said was great, but by the second week, things changed. He had told her that money that had been allotted for his crews security had been depleted because of they had to add extra security due to what was going on in Turkey. Because of this he didn’t have enough money to cover his hotel bills and that the hotel had seized his passport and travel documents. At first he tried to get her to be a co-applicant to open a bank account in Turkey, so that the funds that he was to receive from the completion of the job would be used to pay for the bills. My friend was hesitant because of all the information that she would have to send to the bank. So then he asked if she could wire some money and she was actually willing to. I told her not to as it sounded suspicious to me, but she told me he sounded desperate and Ray had told her he would pay her back once he got full payment from the job. I couldn’t talk her out of it, so she tried to wire the money via Western Union. She was lucky, as she told me that the account was flagged by Western Union as being involved with a scam. The receiver of the funds, either his name is Sam Sunday or Samuel Ani (I forgot to ask my friend to specify his name), was flagged as being a part of a scam that has been going on in Turkey. When she contacted Ray to tell him of this, he supposedly started acting out of character and yelling at her and telling her that she didn't really care for him and that she wanted him to die there. After this, she blocked all contact with him.

OH, HE ALIVE AND WELL. Only now his name is Sam Williams, on facebook. Same story so far. It's been very generic so far. He asks a lot of questions but seems to need to wait for a translation to my answers, with a hmmmmm to fill that void. He has hinted that he sometimes gets sent out of town to work--as an interior designer.
Son Alex is also still a prop being used and he seems desperate to find love, at all costs. Times he messages are odd too.....probably due to time change.

I am suspicious by nature as I had what I thought was a good friend scam me out of 3k., always promising to pay it back. He never has-jerk.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
This Ray or Sam won't get a cent from me and hopefully nobody again. I checked him out with a reverse image lookup on Google which led me here.
let's stop this fraud.
