Information on romance scams and scammers.

I am wondering if anyone here has had contact with a man going by the name of Abraham Denny. He claims to have been born in Denmark but holds duel citizenship with the U.S.A. He says he is now in the U.N. Army stationed in Tanzania. Supposedly his wife and only son were killed in a drunk driving fatal collison about 3 years ago in Iowa while he was stationed abroad. He claims to have lots of guilt because he was not there at the time. He says after the deaths of his family he signed up for a "suicide" mission in Africa and has no other family and didn't even list a next of kin on his service records. He falls madly in love quickly and then says he MUST get out of this assignment because now he "has something to live for". Then comes the request for money as he needs a lawyer to secure his discharge papers as his tour of duty is not up. When that request was refused he became quite angry and "disappointed in me". He became very insistant. He then practically demanded money so I could now be listed as his next of kin because I am "the only one he can trust" and said soonafterward I would receive a lot of his money that he can't access from his bank because he is in Africa. He provided a picture of who he says he is and even a younger picture of "himself". He contacted me through FaceBook and used the email address of [email protected] Don't send money. The whole thing just got smelling fishier as it went on. Beware and don't be taken in by his scam!!!

Hello Wildrose and welcome to Scamwarners!

Thank you for posting the information. Everything you described sounds pretty typical of a military romance scammer. You were right to be suspicious and hopefully you have ended all contact with him.

I have heard of this individual and personally know of someone who has been scammed by this person. How and to whom does one report such a person to stop this nonsense? I confronted the person being scammed and she thinks Abraham Denny is legitimate and that he loves her. She has already sent money to this scammer...how can we put this scammer Abraham Denny out of commission?

Maybe you could send her to this post about this criminal in Africa who is just a dirty liar and a scammer. I expect if you PM an admin lie Dotti or Michelle or someone with coloured profile names you can get an email message sent to them from a scamwarner. Be careful not to rock the boat with your friend too much, She will need you later. If you just sew seeds of doubt with some almost casual comments then you may succeed. After all there is no harm in her following a little advice from a friend and checking just to make sure everything is alright, is there?
HERE IS YOUR SCAMMER.

I can't find more in search for the photo, but that means nothing at all. Any ideas folks?
I would say that women find this man and not him need to trawl for them. Nuff said at moment I think EXCEPT THAT'S WHY SCAMMER USES IT.

Welcome to ScamWarners Wildrose. Thank you for posting this scam. The UN has peace keeping missions, not suicide missions. The UN website does not show any troops in Tanzania http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/

As Begen Steele says, work with the person you know. Help them to do their research on the "facts" the scammer has already presented. Know that the scammer will cover his untruths with other lies. Helping a victim who is hooked is a slow process as they have invested so much emotional energy into the lies they have presented.

Let us know how we can help.

UN Peacekeeping web page wrote:A peacekeeping operation consists of military, police and civilian personnel, who work to deliver security, political and early peacebuilding support.

I do have some more pics that he send me of when he wrote. (Besides the ones showing on this site) He appears younger in these other ones. We will never know for sure who the man in the picture it, will we? I am so sorry he is still out there and scamming women. I am sorry for this woman who thinks he loves her and is sending him money. Ask you friend if he is one to always send poetry that he says he writes. If you "google" the first line or two of the poem the original appears...he has even stolen poetry from some else.
