Let me add a few things - I was posting over my phone and it was a bit hard.
He told me he is from Spain, but lives in U.K with his kid. His wife passed in a car accident five years ago. He sent me a few pictures, just three or four, nothing more than that. He did an skype account, but never showed his face to me - said his computer have no cameras.
He is in Africa now, doing some construction project to Shell. His first msg, on my facebook, was in a really bad portuguese, but then all english. Also, he has a weird accent, but I can't tell if it's actually spanish or not.
Never asked me for money. Only once said he promised a few things to his kid for his birthday and forgot to buy and his neighbour didn't have the money to buy for him.
So, ahn, pls help!!!!

Hello MariaNastrini!

If you are suspicious than you are probably right and he is a scammer. I found a face book profile that looks sispicious but I am not sure if that is the same person your in contact with my guess is it is. Can you post some of his emails along with the headers? If your not sure how to find headers you can go here http://www.ip-adress.com/faq/view_email_header/

Sorry I was posting the same time you made your second post. YES HE IS A SCAMMER! everything you said is classic for a west African romance scammer. Just stop all communication with him. Everything he has told you is a lie. He is just trying to get you involved with him then will ask you for money.

I don't really know what to say and about the date i forgot to inform you that the contract it's a little late so they said they where going to put a date that was the one on it so that SHELL/AFRICA will think it's me the contractor who delayed and not the company and the head of directors... i just wan you to know something that i was chatting with other women when i meant you i was looking for my miss right... The woman i want to spend the rest of my life with... And my search was over when i meant you because you where smart more loving and more caring and more funny and fun than the rest of them and you do know what you want everytime i read your email i feel you are near... And when i saw this email from you after i read it i fell in love with you honey.. I can't stop thinking about you now your pretty smiles your pretty face and
i don't know what i will do when i come over to meet you honey because i don't think i can control my feeling for you anymore... I LOVE YOU

Hi Justin,

This is great! Thanks for helping me. That's all what I needed. I was really suspicious, but didn't really know what to do.
So, watch out people, cos he even put a kid in this scam. The facebook for the kid is Dovelin Junoir.

That IP is actually yahoos server the scammer is using tricks to hide his location. The only thing he is telling the truth about is that he is in Africa.

I'm glad I found this out before anything bad happened. So, if you guys need anything else to help someone else, I have "his" photos, phone number and the pictures of the kid he claims to be his kid.
