Another nigerian black scammer posting as white male in dating site, below are emails received and fake photos used by this idiot, now that I also learnt that scammer actually use footage of cam (recording others cam video and show it as if it is shown from their webcam), and i am afraid they even recorded my cam.
In short: he claimed to send a BIG GIFT parcel even filled with million cash (haha) to me, then his partner acted as a "carrier guy" called n told u this parcel was detained in Dubai and need you to send cash to redeem it.this courier company does not exist, the email ip was sent out from Malaysia, this scammer is in Malaysia using student visa to do scam business.

Wow,
you did quite an impressive job here - thank you so much for posting all those details! Did you spot the re-direct phone number starting with +44 - 70 .... ?

Don't be too worried about the scammer seeing you on webcam. When scammers pose as a female, they usually use footage from scantily clad professional models found on their websites.
by mylove Tue Jun 28, 2011 12:21 pm
Hi Katharina,
i really appreciate your feedback, yes i am determined to nail those scammers.
i m not sure what's the redirect number +44 - 70 ...., is this so they can avoid being tracked on phone?
just too many scammers at the dating sites, i wonder is there a better way to warn all people especially those who might not be computer savvy to search for information about scammers.

This guy strikes again.. and now his name is Chris Faheem Andle
his tagged ID is http://www.tagged.com/profile.html?uid=5456021400
he said that he's sending me some Eid Mubarak gifts and soon after
i received an email from Iona Express (as attached below, my name and details has been erased)
sensing that the gifts are too good to be true sent by a new friend, i search for the courier name and also his given name...

Welcome to Scamwarners. It's very unlikely you will receive anything so there's no reason to be worried. I expect a fake email from "Customs" asking for payment by Western Union before the package can be released. You may get something low value like flowers paid for with stolen credit card details, but that's rare and nothing to worry about.

by Dotti Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:37 pm
You won't receive a parcel tomorrow.

The shipping company is fake. You will not need to accept or refuse anything, as there is no parcel containing those items.

What will happen instead is that you will receive an email or a phone call saying that your package is stuck in customs (or somewhere else), and in order to receive it, you must pay a fee of some kind. Or there will be a problem with the payment check, so the (nonexistent) package will be on hold until you pay for the shipping. Just drop all contact with the scammer and his fake shipping company.
