Kevin Kennedy - [email protected], [email protected]

I was scammed by a guy i met on match.com.
profile still active until 2 weeks ago from now.
http://id.match.com/profile/showprofile ... %3d&TP=CON





he used the name Kevin Kennedy ([email protected] & [email protected]), age 36, lives in Derby, UK, working in Midland Marine, Ltd.
even introduced me to his mother, Rina Kennedy ([email protected]).
he also didn't believe western ladies again, because his girlfriend for 3 years cheated on him 2 years ago.
we saw each other via Yahoo webcam.
face to face with his mother too, but i don't think it was his mother's image. poor lady ...
already asked me to marry him within less than 1 month we chatted.

when i asked him his address in Derby for my visa application, he refused.
when i asked him where he studied in university, he said University of Newscastle. but his grammar was nothing like someone who has studied in university!

he said he has been assigned to Malaysia, so he came just to be close to me.
when he asked me to send him USD 3500 for spareparts, i got very very suspicious.
so i called Midland Marine, and they said they didn't have employee named Kevin Kennedy!
his e-mail's IP address was originated from Malaysia all along.
he uses this number : +44 7031823761 (UK), +44 7961544650 (UK), +60 164665093 (Malaysia).
also +0124463203 and +0164665093 which i don't know from where.
he still claimed to be in Malaysia yesterday, but when i called to +44 7031823761, he answered!

i just hope they will all burn in hell!
saying he's anywhere with his Bible, saying he always go to church every Sunday.
that's just so wrong!

i can't believe i was deceived by a scammer! this is so heartbreaking...
be careful, ladies

Oh, when he asked me to send him the money via Western Union, he said the receiver will be UCHEKA EMMANUEL CHIGEMEZU.
when i said i couldn't find a WU agent near me, he told me to transfer it to:
Narindah binti Ladat
CIMB Bank, Malaysia
Acct: 0133-0029183-523

beware of this account

Welcome allsaints!

I'm so sorry you got targeted by this lowlife scammer, and it's great you took the time to post this information. I hope you will eventually recover from this ugly experience.

thank you, Katharina, for your support ...
i'm still recovering now. still in deep heartbreak.
i just lost someone i love but it turns out he didn't exist in the first place.
i loved him so much.

It must be a bad time for you. The person was fake, but your feelings were real. And it may take time until you get better. Just don't feel angry with yourself; these romance scammers are very experienced in manipulating people.

Dear Allsaints

I SHOULD THANKS A ZILLIONS to you because you have posted something that i try to find within this weeks.
Just to let you know that you're not alone. I am also been scam by him within this week.but lucky he didn't ask money from me. instead his mother was making me very curious at all. i know him from match.com and i am not expected anything because i have to paid the subscription, so i think the site is secure. So we got to know within one month and he told me he really wanted to get married because of tired being single. but along the time i know him, it hits me several time that i am start curious about him.He nevery reply my email, he never give me his photo other than his profiles photo, when i called his number, never get trough and sms never reply.Because i think his love is pure, so just ignored my curiosity.Then he want to introduce his mother to me via webcam.So i did. When i have first time chatting with his mother, everything was so good until she asked me to do something, that is to check her order. She told me she wanted to buy a genticide fluid, use for purification of gold, silver and limestones. She give number 016xxxxxxx (i can;t reember the number because i deleted) and her email [email protected] to update her about the order. When she asked me to do this, I was a bit suspicious because she did not tell me where she got the number. To make myself satisfy, i google about the fluid. And there it is, there;s no info related to the fluid she asked me to check. But what i found is the link to a scam website about the fluid. OMG! my heart start pumping at that time. I do not want to be scam victims anymore because i've been twice scam and lost a lot money to.all by romance scam.

When i found that, i straightly told him that his mother is probably scam. He got really mad at me and say i'm disrespect and insult his mother. Then we breakup after that. And hell, I was really deeply hurt, frustrated and heartbroken because of his so called "pure love"to me. I thought that it was my fault not to trust him and his mother. Up to now, i still cannot forget him...until i found this post.

Really, he is very good manipulator and very good lover. Lucky i can suspect something earlier before he come to meet by end of this month. i should then really thanks to GOD that show me truth about him.

For womens out there, becareful when you subscribed the dating site.And most important, believe your instinct. I am sure i learned a lot from what had happen. I was saying to myself not to use dating site anymore (at least for a some time until i get my trust back).

It is fine to post complete scammer email addresses here and we want them for the google bots and potential victims to find. Your scammer is actually in Nigeria and your 2 numbers that seem to be for UK are redirect numbers . +44 7031823761 actually redirects to NIGERIA to the scammers phone. UK numbers are 6 digits preceded by the code as in +44 (0) 1905 123456. Landlines can only have 01 or 02 after the country code, 02 is London.
You can't purify gold or silver with a fluid. Limestone is a rock /Calcium Carbonate and just dissolves away in acid and quite rightly, you discover it's a lie. You wouldn't want to have any dealings with concentrated Nitric Acid, the substance is very dangerous and amongst other properties and uses it has, it is used to make explosives.

Hi honeyralha and allsaints,

please don't forget to post the scammer's email address, a lot of victims do a Google search on email addresses, and the search will lead them right here.

Thank you for taking the time!

Oh yes..i forgot put his ym id - [email protected]. i found that the domain is registered for Australian yahoo site. why he want to use y7mail instead usual yahoo id ie. yahoo.com? again my instinct told me this is liar.

ok, i have edited my earlier post.
i included the original e-mails he uses.

honeyraiha,
i'm so thankful that my post helped you.
i googled his name and e-mail addresses he uses before i decided to develop my trust, but i didn't find them anywhere. that's why i think he could be trusted.

There are just too many scammer email addresses for them all to be found by an Internet search. Only those reported to sites like ours.
It's the content of the emails that is the only sure way to tell. With romance scammers. it's -
A request for the victim to send money.
Variable English. Good when he's copied and pasted poetry, and poor otherwise. An Internet search on distinctive phrases often comes up with several hits.
Expensive imaginary chemical feature in many scams, but not usually in romance ones.

I just read this from an online dating site -- I wish I had read it sooner before I experience the scam :

"Some scammers from Ghana, Nigeria, Russia or other countries will stream a fake webcam stream when you chat with them on webcam. They do this by using a pre-recorded video that appears as if they are the person on the other end of the webcam.
In order to protect yourself from fake web cams ask the person to verify that they are not a recording by standing up, waving, holding up a hand or writing a message on a piece of paper and holding it for you to see. If the person is real they should be able to obey your requests in real time. If the webcam is fake they will be unable to do any of these things in real time."

Paid sites may seem more secure.
But scammers pay for them and flowers candy and teddy bears with stolen credit cards.

i know allsaints it's very hard to forget the liar. i once thinking even he use webcam, there are one time which i asked him to show his face with beard and moustache, he did. i would say that the cam is not fake.
but now i don't want to remember him anymore. then i start to find more info about match.com just to make me more believe about the scam. i found something about match.com from this link.
http://dating.about.com/b/2009/06/14/matchcom.htm

have time to read it...meanwhile don't feel lonely always.try to make yourself happy.
and i'm sure you can do it.
