GUY ONE:
MILES WEST: [email protected]

Was hot and heavy for awhile, even photos of body parts and various others, including of his "work" which is overseas in NIgeria. He is an 'engineer' and coming home in 7 weeks. Sent the company name which was a stock photo (Googled the company which was real) and then photos of his "work" which were probably also stock photos of bridges and highways. Asked me to disable my badoo account and he would too because "I was the one" and he talked VERY good game over a month. he said he was from Texas and sold his house there 4 months prior which is why he was listed as Los Angeles as he was moving here. He also slipped and said no you have to be in love with me before I move there. WTF?! He Was always emotional. When I called it as a scam he began to threaten me to revel "nude photos" I had sent to him online if I stopped communicating with him. They werent even mine but he doesnt know that. Early on I mistakenly told him my parents names which, of course, now makes me paranoid (dad is passed away, mother alive) as we were 'getting to know each other'. Finally the ball dropped about money but he said he was not asking me for anything but all his money from this job (his 4th time doing it) was deposited into his account in the US and he needed someome to transfer to their account so he could access his money. I was SOOOOOOOOO trashed when I read that. It screamed scam and I told him that. Never got a reply from his yahoo email. When he was allegedly very upset about me walking away and threatening to reveal private photos, he said he had been crying ALL DAY. SO I said show my your face. He sends a picture. Then I said show my your room. Then he just FREAKED OUT and said "OMG this is something else you are doing" and I havent heard from him since. BAdoo still has his profile up. I was was warned my my girlfriend heavily from day one she thought he was a scam and I defended him. He was that good. Once he began to threaten and then freak out, there was no doubt. I deleted his thread but know I can find the photo he is using as it is still active.

GUY TWO:
Tack Yejoon aka Javier Episitia aka Taylor: We email only over facebook but I have 2 phone numbers for him that I have texted with him on on 310 (LA) and one new York.

On Skype this name popped up: javier.espitia22 and not the name he goes by Tack Yejoon. He said he changed his name but was unclear on why..something about his father.
This one still has me ON THE FENCE. We are linked up on FB and I can see all his peeps making comments and reference to his daughter. Mother of girl died when she was 2. His own mother passed away a while back and his Korean father went back to Korea with his one sister so HE IS ALONE IN THE WORLD. Yeah AND A SOLDIER SINGLE FATHER. And drop dead gorgeous so if that dont pull you in I dont know what would. Problem is I skyped with him briefly before deployment Jan18 (to you guessed it, Nigeria/Camaroon border). I saw the guy in the photo, looked legit, at barracks I assume and he had 'friends' there. He is telling me 30 diff ways he is in love with me and wants to be with me and God brought us together etc. But we've never met. He always asks me about how he wants o settle down and find a mother for his kid, Laura. She is on his FB page. There seem to be alot of females on hispage but a few older people who seem to know and support him as well as couples also in the military who leaves posts about checking in on "Laura". This guy I am falling for but my radar is going off.... it sucks scammers use the military to bait as there is always the possibility of a real person getting tossed over 'suspicion!" Now I DID see him briefly on Skype in real time. There are also 3 videos of him on his FB page. What concerns me other than an unrealistic profession of 'love', is he gave me a tracking number to a package that has been stuck in transit on the USPS website. His iphone6 so he can stay in touch with his daughter but it never arrived and the USPS site did say there were problems due to the storm that hit and floods in Illinois where his package was last traced. He has pushed me HARD to send him a phone. an unlocked iphone6 and even asked me for my own phone which I thought was incredibly stupid and bold. Still on the fence, I agreed to maybe send him an old phone not used anymore in my junk bin. He talks real good game and weve exchanged many photos... even an intimate video of himself. The other red flag was the address he gave me to send a care package and how quickly he would get angry when I hesitated or backed out. Im SO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS ONE. I tired searching on him but came up with nothing. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THIS IS A LEGIT MILITARY ADDRESS TO SOMEONE IN COMBAT AT THE NIGERIAN/CAMAROON BORDER) Well I have the address If you want to send me the rosary and other stuffs

At first the said it has to get to a state called abia state which is the formal military of staff here in Nigeria

A university which after it will be delivered here to me by a soldier

Ohia Christian

address: micheal okpara university of agriculture, MOUAU|
ZIP: 440001
CITY: UMUAHIA
STATE: ABIA STATE
RECEIVER NAME: OHIA CHRISTIAN JUDE
COUNTRY: NIGERIA

Receiver Tel 0703 641 0838

Once I saw this, another 'fight' broke out between us and I said I refuse to send a package without HIS name on it and how would they know it was for HIM and he said by the tracking number only. That this Ohia dude was also a soldier. Bottom line, Im not sending him a care package of ANY kind. At first I thought Id send some chocolate, socks and a rosary I had. Figured f he actually got the package he could take a photo with the rosary or some specific item that is unique as proof he was real. But I cant even do that as Im freaked out about being scammed.

This 2nd guy has me on the fence big time and I need to vet him or let him go as soon as possible! HELP!!!! :shock:

They're both scammers.

The first one wants you to recieve money from other scam victims into your bank account - that would make you an accessory to his crimes and liable to arrest for money laundering.

The second one wants an iPhone of you for starters and then whatever else he can con you into sending.

All of the photos and videos used will be stolen from social media site (or possibly porn sites for the intimate videos). The gramatical error you described (I've asked the Mods to remove details of it as we don't like to educate scammers on their mistakes) is very common amongst West Africans, and in particular Nigerians.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Noted. I understand everything you said but what about the live SKype with Guy2? And I know FB pages are faked up all the time but does that mean all his posters are also fake? WHen I click on the military people and others commenting on his page, they are real... or so appear to be even posting pictures of themselves with him and commenting.... this is what throws me off

Skype can be spoofed to play pre-recorded video clips (usually very short) instead of from the live cam. The clip will have been stolen.

Hmmm, the Tack Yejoon I can find on FB has the name Taylor Justine in their FB URL - interesting, huh? Why would Tack be using a different name as their URL? Also - many of his "friends" profiles look very scammer-ish, too, and many were created about the same time. They're probably all the same person trying to make his profile look legit. A couple of the friends could also be victims as well. Can you post photos he has sent you or is using? Please mark them as stolen before uploading and please blur any faces of children that may be in the photos:

WOW! I noticed that too and on Skype he had Taylor pop up nest to his picture in parenthesis and then the name Javier.Episitia22

I questioned him on all of this and he would get upset that "I didnt believe him or questioned him" that his love was "True" and when he returned he would show me.... blah blah blah blah

He said he had 'many nicknames" but I told him those were not 'nicknames'. When I asked him his shoe size he gave me the wrong size and then gave me a European size reference not U.S.- When I called him out on his grammar he said he was from South Korea but born in Los Angeles. I told him then that would make you FROM LOS ANGELES not South Korea. His English on his posted videos was flawless.

I wonder WHO'S PHOTO he has actually stolen. Poor guy doesnt know his photos and videos are being used by a scammer.

THIS guy is GOOD. It took me awhile to get red flags. The Skype was BRIEF but I thought it was live.

So last night I asked for his real email and he gave me [email protected]

Then I told him I know he is a scammer and I will no longer do this with him..that he left me no choice. He STILL professed his undying love and said no matter what he would not stop 'loving me' or telling me or end with me... that if I wanted it to end that I would have to do it.

So I did. I reported him as scam and then blocked him on both FB and on Badoo (where he is now hunting for women in Malaysia, before that he was browsing in New York, etc) I remember asking him about this and he said he didnt know what I was talking about and that he didnt have a phone or access to his Badoo account while deployed to see it.. blah blah blah

OMG this site has been SOOOOO HELPFUL!! THANK YOU!!! Its devastating and sad how good and how skilled and persistent these scammers can be and I consider myself pretty saavy. Im so glad I found this site. I will post his picture and that of Miles as well when I can get a chance to mark it 'SCAMMER' for you! Im not sure how to do that yet. Is there an app or program you can suggest??

THANK YOU!!
