"Martin Wallace" found me on MeWe. He claims to be a widower who lost his wife and son in a car/truck accident five years ago and has a daughter named Amanda who is in Medical School in London. His profile shows that he is a graduate of MIT, lives in Boston, is an international structural engineer, and works for a company called "Unique Eco Water Engineering." The email he uses for Hangout is
[email protected]. Once he got to know me on MeWe, he encouraged me to move our conversation to Hangout since that is what he uses for his job and his time on MeWe is limited. He said we could communicate more easily on Hangout. He uses theological and scriptural posts to elicit trust. He even talks about scripture as if he knows what he is talking about. He is very good at making himself believable. He passed all of the catfishing tests except for his location. He claims to be on a big project in Dubai and will return home at the end of next month. As soon as he asked for photos, I insisted on him sending photos first. All of these photos I did a reverse search on and two of them popped up as belonging to a model named Tom Dean Ernsting. I found five out of seven of the photos on the instagram account for Tom Dean Ernsting. I am uploading all seven photos of "Martin Wallace" here. I did a search on his name, city/state, email, and photos. This "Martin Wallace" does not exist. The email, for which ai did a reverse search, does not exist and the photos he sent me are of Ernsting. When I sent him screenshots of the photos I found on Instagram, he spoke to me in German. I don't speak German, but I translated what he said online and replied to him in German. He asked me how I am and I said I am fine thank you. When I asked him who he really is, he said he is busy at work and will get back to me later. I don't know if I will ever hear from him again. I was surprised he responded when I asked him who he really is. I don't know what his game is. Maybe he just does it for kicks, a form of entertainment and euphoria of having control. Maybe he wants my photos to set up fake accounts to scam men. I don't know, but I do know everything about "Martin Wallace" is fake.
Hmm... I cannot upload the photos. button is not working for me.
