And that one is stolen from here: http://www.romanceforeveryone.com/love-letters/i-miss-you.html

Could you post the full headers from one of his emails? We may be able to tell you where he was really writing from. I'm guessing it will likely be Malaysia in this case, since one of the money transfers went to Malaysia. The writing itself suggests African--but there is a pretty large number of Nigerians scamming out of Malaysia--generally they have entered the country on student visas.

His main contact address is [email protected]

I was disconected him, change my contact no, leave the company where I worked also city where I live before. :cry:

I was very much worry coz he's know everything happen in my life, unlucky as I was trust him and I can say that he's very smart guy who well trained on Phychology and Medical Skills. He has a copy of my passport, many of my sexy pics :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

He was tried hard to contact me via any channel he has on hand. Well I have told myself to face and fight with him if necessary; I also have to respect my decision on whatever happen. Nothing concerned money but my reputation. To make me strong, I'm again chat with him via above address but not event let him know where I am and of course keep asking my new contact no.

I have two more fake documents which is unable to public coz is risk for me. Not sure if the Admins. here need it or not, just let me know on how I can share.

Welcome Amita, yes full headers help us determine the location of the scammer. I am sorry for you loss. The scammer is interested in getting more money from you. You are best to stop communicating with him at all.

Typically, a scammer will threaten to embarrass you with details they gain. All they are interested in gotting money form you or others. If you block and ignore him he will go away.

He may have a way of using your pictures and passport on someone else, or he may sell the information so someone else can use the information. For the most part, scammers are interested in getting money and don't spend time retaliating against victims who drop them. It happens to them all of the time.

Please do not keep in contact with this person. They will fabricate and lie to you and make you feel worse.

Know that by posting the information here, you will hurt his scamming operation. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Hi Amita and welcome to ScamWarners. I am glad you are here.

First off, I wanted to let you know that the fake hospital website, http://www.jennybestwayhospital.com/index.html has been suspended by the hoster for fraudulent activity.

Second, I see that you have another scam email domain here: [email protected]

Domain Name: MUTUALTFAM.COM
Registrar: DIRECTI INTERNET SOLUTIONS PVT. LTD. D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM
Whois Server: whois.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Referral URL: http://www.PublicDomainRegistry.com
Name Server: NS1.BYETHOST30.ORG
Name Server: NS2.BYETHOST30.ORG
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 29-apr-2010
Creation Date: 29-apr-2010
Expiration Date: 29-apr-2011


This one will also be taken care of, however because it is a domain being used for email activity only (there is no evidence of a scam on the actual website http://www.mutualtfam.com/ we need a copy of the email sent to you from that address, including the headers.

What you posted above isn't the header for the email. Usually to get the header of the email you have to click something like 'Show original' (in gmail) or 'Full Headers' (in yahoo) or with hotmail you use the little drop down menu on the right by 'Reply' and pick 'view message source'. If you need more help with finding the header, post back what email program you use and someone can help you.

Once you have the header, please post it up and the email and one of the site killers can work on getting the scam domain closed down. :D

Thank you Dora for that great report. Fake Site Killers have my utmost respect!

Yes, a header is much more than the email address. Here is some helpful information about Headers:

Thanks for posting those headers Amita! Could you also post the e mails where these headers are from? Especially the e mail where the scammer is asking for money. With that information our fake website experts can start working on it.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
