Information on romance scams and scammers.
by Heartbroken35 Tue Sep 21, 2010 1:02 am
There's this guy i met online which was very charming n romantic (at least he made me think he was). Romanced me with empty promises until 1 day he asked for money. Of course i refuse to give my hard earn money to a person whom i've never met. But he insist that he would pay back rite after he settled his "problems" and advice me to get a bank loan. After lots of persuasions n after my many2 rejections to help him, he got somewhat annoyed and became more angrier afterwards. Immediately I knew that this guy dont really luv me...all he wants is my money. He also threatened to post all my pictures on the net n make fake profiles and tell the everyone including my employers that i am a prostitute. Till today he still taunts me and kept calling me and said to me "So! U think i forgot u already? Watchout coz there's more to come". I really dunno wat to do here. Although I've told him that I've gone to the authorities n reported him (I didnt actually, just a threat to make him stop his nonsense calls)...he still kept calling me. He even emailed my employers telling them that i am a prostitute n that i can be bought for one nite and what a shame to the company being employ a "P.orn Star". Of course before the email came i knew that that is what he's going to do coz he has all my details including my office address, tel no. etc. I've gone to the bosses n explained my situation n luckily for me they understand my problems and tell me not to worry and that they'll ignore those emails. So What can i do to make him stop? I desparately need to know coz I cant concerntrate on my work and it definitely effected my social life. Below are his details:

Social networking sites known to be in : Tagged.com, FB, netlog, shtyle.fm (only god knows which other sites he's in)
Goes by the name : Dani Yusup, Mustafa, Jose A. Diaz
Will tell u stories abt his dad who is late....Originally from Egypt and mom from Switzerland now living with his son "Idrees" in FUllham London.
His/Her Partner that goes by the name : Mark Davidson(Mobile: +44 7534867027, +44 703184750) This guy pretends to be the delivery agent for "packages" which was supposely for me
Email IDs : [email protected], [email protected]
Fake address (Unrealizingly he told me he's never been to Europe before) :

"Dani"'s London registered no : +44 7539552748
"Dani"'s M'sian registered no : +60 142372702
Has a contact in M'sia that goes by the name : Mdm Rose (This lady poses as the delivery agent in Malaysia, she will ask for "clearence money" before the "package" can be released. This "package" was supposedly contains "a huge amt of money".
"Mdm Rose"'s Mobile : +60 162434992

He will make up stories abt wanting to buy a property in ur country and that is he's trusting u to "choose" a good neighbourhood for him to live. WARNING LADIES!!! this is all CRAP.

Welcome to Scamwarners.
I'm sorry to hear what he's doing. There's no way of stopping him, but I can't see him continuing for long. Scammers are only interested in money. Don't contact him again, not even to ask him to stop. There's no point in giving him feedback on the effects of what he's doing.

can i give a bit of advice too?.... if possible change your number and email addy...
the scammer i got is still sayin he isnt one and is a geniune "marine" he comes online being nice.. hasnt really been agressive but the emails from the so called service he asked me to "pay" are illiterate and blunt when i shown them im not willing to part with cash..lol..
dont give him the satisfaction of letting him know he is getting to you... change the numbers and email addresses asap.... if he keeps saying he will post fake profiles then ignore it.. dont let it get to you.. its your money he wants... they will use anyones photo anyway.. they can copy photos of people from anywhere so your one in how many billion people in the world?..... the scam will be linked to him/them not you based on a photo so i wouldnt worry too much... change any details about you that he has.. e.g if you gave anything personal that can be changed........

my little friend has even offered to get his "daughter" to pay some money towards the scam he is trying to pull on me.. told him no.. no money is leaving my home... full stop.... he not been agressive nor exactly charming.. just keeps saying he is not a fake and loves me... .luckily im one who delves into things deeply.. hence discovering a scam ... good luck tho.. xx

Like Arnold said, the best approach to this is to completely ignore him.
The message you want to "send" to him is that he will get nothing from you. The most effective way is complete "radio silence".
  • Immediately delete every email you get from him, without reading it. Many email clients have an option to set filters to automatically throw away emails from certain addresses.
  • If he calls you, don't pick up. If you only recognize him after picking up, immediately hang up without saying a word.
  • If he contacts you through IM, don't respond. If possible, block him from your IM programs.
If you can keep this up, he'll eventually go away and you won't need to change email address and/or phone number(s).
If you're afraid that you won't be able to resist his advances, then changing email address and/or phone number(s) is something to seriously consider.

Hello Heartbroken
Thank-you for posting your story about the fraudulent individual. It will certainly warn others.
As other posters have advised, the scammer is only interested in receiving money. By simply ignoring his emails, he will realize that you will not be scammed and will leave you alone. The downside of course is he will contact other victims.
It has been my experience scammers are difficult to track.
Pity we couldn't just execute a few of them!?
