Gabriel van berg

Yet another! He's on a UK dating site and contacted me and started the usual pattern.He claims to be a dutch man who has lived in UK most of his life,his ex left him several years ago to live in the US and has a son who lives with his grandma in Amsterdam.When we started messaging he claimed to live in St Cuthberts Out but then three weeks ago moved to London for a work contract.Claims to be a geologist working with Genesis Oil and Gas Consultants in London and ,yes,has just had to go to Nigeria for 4 weeks with work.He's very well researched and gave me his university history and "work history" ie Chevron in Scotland and Malones Oil Services in Manchester.He was keen to swap e-mails rather than use dating site.He couldn't text as his phone was not enabled for text!

He has 2 e-mail addresses [email protected] and [email protected],both originating in Lagos,Nigeria rather than London where he purports to live.He's now ringing my mobile from a Nigerian number ,tho I'm not anwering it.

He's also on a couple of American dating sites claiming he lives in Beverley Hills and to be American.

Shame as he's stunningly attractive,but obviously a model's photos-thats what made me suspicious to start with

Hope this info is useful

Welcome teresan! Good for you for recognizing the scam.
Thank you for posting this information, it will make it searchable and help save others from this scammer.

If you have any more information such as his phone number, a link to his profile or his beginning emails (which will be pre-scripted), please do post those too. Make sure to omit any of your own information from the emails first. Please do post his photo here too; you have to host it elsewhere first and we prefer to have the photo marked as "used by a scammer" so that scammers can't lift images from here to re-use. If you need help doing this, just ask anyone on the support team.

Let us know if you have any questions regarding this or other scams.

i'm not sure how to get his photo on but here's his first messages from the dating site www.myukdate.com

If you google his name you'll find his photo on a couple of different US dating sites including www.perfspot.com and on www.romance scam

He's currently ringing me from tel +2348064277327 (but I'm not answering!)

Somehow in this great big world
I found my way to you
My friend across the computer lines
my heart, my soul, that's who?

You try to make me smile
with the mail you send my way.
You never fail to drop a line
each and every day.

Whenever I have hurried home
with something, I must share,
I find it just so comforting
that you are always there.

Encouragement you give me
and a friendship that is true.
I'm glad my soul while reaching out
found someone like you...
