Hi,
I have got these messages via Facebook. He has a profile there with a nice photo. He was suspicious for me but I let him to go further and answered expect for the last one message. I thought so he will complain but he didn't.
As you can see the beginning of the first message is missing, so I think he copied that. I have find this (his) phone number almost the same (at the and that is more one number) on the net what is signed as a scammer's. He was so thoughtful to mention he lived in Hungary (I am Hungarian) and Ireland (I work in Ireland).

How nice to know someone cares about me well,You are such a sweet and loving person and hence i wrote my first letter to you on fb. I work on a ship and as a sailor and also the head of operations on the ship.my crew members are proactive and hardworking with an amazing sense of direction and they require little or no supervision, but I still go around just to keep the bond and maintain the good sense of togetherness.

I was born on the 13th of may 1965, and about my childhood, its all full of sweet and pleasant memories. I did part of my childhood in hungary and I was there for 6years. My dad moved the family to Ireland and we stayed in a little town in the south of lreland called wexford. The family moved around for some years.when they finally moved to hungary once again to settle down where they live now. I have two siblings a boy and girl. I have a very good relationship with my folks, they are the best anyone could ever wish for as their support, love, concern and encouragement have brought out the best in me and made the man you are getting to know. My mum thought me the essence of sincerity, loyalty, kindness, human feelings and concern for others(altruism) while my dad instilled in me discipline of self-control, virtues of patience and honesty. They also held the family in close bond and that really made me and my siblings close and love one another very much. i have a son, which you already.


What about you dearest, how was it like with your folks and how was it when you were growing up? your birthday and those extremities, like to read about a few of them.I earnestly look forward to fishing together, I hope to read from you soon dearie and hear your voice.Take good care of you for me and have a pleasant time.

Thanks for the letter, it was nice to read and get to know you too. Seem we now even and know a bit about our selves. my son is 9yrs of age.


Today , our Ship set from Port of Felixstowe in united kingdom sail to Australia/Japan / NS Korea.So i decided to give you my satelite phone number , which can be called from around the world and to avoide me changing numbers all the time .TEL: + 44 703 183 7884.I am sitting at a spot close to the sea now , drinking a cup of coffee and listening to a music ( Find it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pog2n9o5zs ).
I hope i get to have your phone number also in order for us to keep in touch. you strike me as someone who is nice and be fun to get to know. As i write now am at sea and hence can only send emails once or twice a day depending on the nature of my work load here. Also i try to be on the messenger if there are no too much crowd using the PC that are given to us. The ethics of the job does not allow us to use personal PCs in order not to inter-fer with the navigational equipment on board. , so what they provide is a room with few computers for persons to use when they are free, but these are computers that are structured in such a way it does not inter- fer with the navigational system of the ship.

I am passionate about my job, traveling and meeting people, seeing different places and cultures. Camping and fish is a strong culture in the family and its one of the few things I have developed a passion for right from childhood, which I still do virtual on daily basis whenever I am onboard.

My believes are one of my driving forces of which patience is one of them, and to me its the ultimate virtue all can possess to make the world a better place. I desire sincerity, honesty and understanding from the special one and I always desire to be truly and sincerely loved.
I sincerely hope we can grow and nurture our little seed of friendship and see how far it goes.Do have a wonderful time.

Welcome to Scamwarners. He's certainly a scammer. The wording leaves no doubt, and 44 703 183 7884 is not a satellite phone. It's a free UK redirect number that transfers calls anywhere in the world.

Thank you Arnold. Could somebody delete my second one (the same) topic please?

Hi miqs,
I'm glad you found out in time.
Do you still have his email address? That would help a lot; victims do Google searches for email addresses.

^^ you could set up a new gmail account and tell him that, then when he wrote to you you could post his email here?
by Katharina Sat Aug 06, 2011 7:56 am
Welcome dizzy! I appreciate that you want to help.

What you are suggesting is called "scambaiting", and it is not something to be done by persons without a lot of experience so they can protect themselves from retaliation by the scammers.

I totally agree Katharina...

Mod edit: This post was made by the scammer itself trying to lie his way out of trouble. He made an effort trying to hide his true location, but unfortunately (for him) there were too many signs that gave him away. Make no mistake: the mails, address and profile reported here are definately used by a scammer. Stay away. - Michael

How do you know he is scam has he taken any thing from you or made you send what you shouldn't have sent to him and ran away. Please,it is good and very important to know the facts before labelling people as scam. Am just shocked to see such here. i got the same message and for the past few months he had never asked for a dime and don't think he is scam. Can't someone be friendly on the internet no more. if he has scammed you of your money or valuables then please lets all know it here and now rather than give him a bad image. what has been present here does not say anything.

like i said, what did he take from them and how did he scam them. lets not be judgemental here pls.

New message:

Shorey Steven
you are so sick to think you could report me to be a scammer and i would not know. IT is so bad that someone want to be honest and make new friend, but people like you who are sick and wasted would go and smear our people names. Did i ever ask anything from you not want you to send me anything. You sick and all i can say you go rot in hell and die there. For castigating me and my name, you never find peace until you seek for forgiveness. Goshhh, you dame wicked, i have never asked anything from anyone since i had this account and you had to say nasty things about me.


I think that huffish man is here himself. Everybody can decide who is the honest.
