This is a scammer; he may also use the email address [email protected] or [email protected] - the latter email address he typically uses as the email address of his fake son.

He claims to be 45 years old, and that his birthday is either on 16 February or 11 September. He states that he was the only child of his unmarried mother, who died when he was aged 20. He says that he then married an African American lady called Maribel, who died from breast cancer two or three years ago. Dean now looks after their son Roberto, aged 10 or 11 years.

This scammer claims that his address is:

226 144th St. New York NY 10030

And that his phone numbers are:

+1 716 254 6402
+1 206 350 4015
+1 347 410 9418
Mobile: 0023 480 326 04254 - this is actually a Nigerian telephone number +234 803 260 4254

He has also stated that his SSN numbers are:

798 64 6979 and
611 19 4910

He has given the following 'UK' telephone number (a redirect number which redirects calls to a mobile phone elsewhere in the world):

+44 704 573 4401

Emails from him, however, show that he is located in Nigeria:

Received: from [82.128.15.56] - Bénin, Nigeria

Received: from [41.220.69.8] - Lagos, NIgeria

He has also used another Nigerian telephone number:

+234 809 706 5287

This scammer has many invented stories which he will tell to try to persuade women to send money to him. A typical story is that his son Roberto is staying with Dean's deceased wife's mother in Nigeria while Dean is on a business trip. Roberto then later has an accident and Dean requires money to pay the hospital bils. Roberto may also die, and then Dean will require money to pay for the funeral.

The scammer may also say that he has a contract to work in Nigeria, and needs to go to Lagos. There he runs into financial difficulties due to business costs, and, again, needs financial help, possibly to avoid a prison sentence for non-payment of business debts.

He may also request money for his mother-in-law's medicine, or for flight tickets 'back to New York'. He may claim that he has been mugged and had all his money stolen.



This scammer has previously tried to reassure his victims that he will repay the money by putting them in touch with his bank:

Bank Name:DIAMOND TRUST ONLINEBANK.
Contact person:MR.MENSAH UTABILE
E-mail: [email protected]

Mensah Otabil.
Head, Credit Control
No 4, Cantonments First Road.
Address: P.O.Box 4421, Contonments.
Accra- Ghana
Office 030 2916487 Ext 103

This is also part of his scam, and both the bank branch and Mensah Utabile or Otabil are fake.

Another fake person connected with the scammer's fake bank is:

Hon.Barr.Mathew Danquar, Esq, LLB

or

Hon.Barr.Moses Danquar, Esq., LLB

Both with the following contact details:

Phone: +233 24 188 1829
E-mail: [email protected]

The scammer may request that money is sent to him by Western Union money transfer to his 'mother-in-law':

Onyeogu Godwin
1 Isu-Awaa Street
Achara Layout
Enugu State
Nigeria

Or to one of the following people:

Onwo Ikechukwu, Enugu State, Nigeria
Mrs Oluchi Aningwu, Enugu State, Nigeria
David Asante, Accra, Ghana

Or he may request that the money is sent by bank transfer, possibly to the UK or to Hong Kong.

He may claim that one of the bank accounts belongs to someone with this redirect telephone number:

0044 702 4060 062 or
+44 702 406 0062

This scammer tells endless lies. The stories he tells about his financial needs are not true. And he is not falling in love with anyone. His only intention is to steal money from them.

This scammer is still actively targeting women and may also claim to be a Mexican living in New York, working in the UK, and with a business contract in Nigeria. He may pretend that he had a European wife and that his son stays with his grandmother in Hungary. He has stated that his address while in Nigeria is:

No 25 Awkunanaw
Enugu States
Nigeria

He may also pretend to have an African colleague called Mr Godwin, who uses the email address [email protected] and phone number +234 809 706 5287.

Dean Miguel Morris, or Dean C. Morris, as he might instead call himself, has also been using the email address:

[email protected]

He may attempt to send money to women. This money will be the result of his fraudulent activity - if you should receive money from him, please notify your bank, credit card company, and local police immediately. Do not attempt to cash checks, withdraw any money paid into your accounts, or collect any money sent to you by a money transfer service. If you do, this could result in yourself being investigated, or even charged, for handling money obtained by fraud. If you have already received money from him, please seek legal advice straight away.

Why should he pay money to other woman?

Doesnt make sense.

When a scammer sends money to someone, it may be for one of the following reasons:

- It is money that he is obtaining from another scam, and he wants someone to receive it, and to forward it on to him.

- It is money that he has obtained from another scam or from a stolen credit card, and he wants someone to use it to purchase items for him in their country.

- It is in the form of a fake check, that he hopes the bank won't recognise as fake before the recipient has withdrawn the cash and sent it to him.

The scammer, of course, is unlikely to mention the real reason, but will tell an invented story about why someone needs to receive money or checks for him. He is, however, involving that person in fraudulent activities too. And he is still remaining anonymous, so if/when there is any investigation regarding this fraud, it will be traced only to his unknowing accomplice - and it is she who will get questioned, and possibly even arrested - while he remains anonymous, and free to continue his crimes.

An introduction to love or dating scams
Check Scams

Please be aware of the following:

It is not unusual for a scammer to 'confess' that they were lying, or that their friend/colleague was lying, and to now 'tell the truth'. Or to claim that they were the innocent party, and that they never wanted to be involved in the scam in the first place. This will not be true: they will later pretend to need money again, or will pretend to need help in some other way.

Some scammers, after 'confessing' their previous lies, will pretend that 'only you' can keep them away from scamming again (by sending them some necessary money, so they don't have to scam it). Some scammers will say that their real selves truly have fallen in love with you, and they truly do want to meet you/marry you. Some will pretend that they are already making plans to move to the USA or Europe, and they need your help with opening up a bank account for them there, or receiving some money, or purchasing some items. This won't be true - in reality, they are trying to set up a 'money mule' - someone who handles stolen money and fraudulent checks for them and their friends.

Some will pretend that they need a letter of invitation and/or proof of your financial stability to help them with a visa application. A letter of invitation may be sold to someone else, or used as part of another scam. Your proof of financial stability may result in your credit card details or bank account details being used in fraud.

It is a dangerous time to be in contact with a scammer. We'd all like to 'make a difference' to someone's life, or be the one who helps someone out of a life of crime - and so it can be tempting to believe the scammer, and want to 'do something'. It can be difficult to believe that this 'confession' and 'changed life' is also part of an ongoing scam.

But it is part of an ongoing scam. Never try to help anyone who has been involved in scamming. Do not believe the things they tell you. Do not continue contact, but instead ignore them .... whatever they say.

That's is amazingly well written, Chris. Thanks for all the good that you have done here in the last 2+ years!

Thanks for this well written statements or explanation. Sometimes I just cant believe how cruel they can be.


Reading all this reminds me to be very aware if 'my' scammer is coming back. In one sense I think "oh, this is easy to deal with him now." Especially after I had seen his accidently showed photo on Skype and reading all this storys.
On the other side I am a tiny bit scared about the emotions they might come up.

BUT, I cant say how much I have learned after all this- and I am so happy I have found this and the sister-forum.... heaps. and I am very thankfull for that.

lets go baiting..

Warning, these guys are on the prowl again. Just received notice that they were trying to access one of our accounts. If you have been involved with these individuals please make sure you lock all of your accounts and file a fraud/scam alert with the Federal Credit Bureau.

Sound familiar?

The name is Tony i was looking perusing through a list of profiles when i found yours. i looked at it carefully and found out that we have lots in common, especially in the area of smiling like no one is watching, as ur picture suggested that. That is a very sexy picture u have there. it reminds me of the likes of the duchess of castle bridge, lady Jane who was made queen of England cos of her charming beauty, most catching enough she was a maid to the former queen Anna Boleyn when King Henry sited her in court (British History...tell u more later)lol. Hope u don't mind my humorous comparatives as i couldn't think of a better comparative than this.hehe. They were all damn beautiful.

what do u say dear??? we could get to know each other more and better...would u like tht?.....chuckling.

Love Always
Tony
