I got as far as this before I knew he was a scammer.
His number is +447024018499


4470 numbers are premium rate redirect numbers. They forward calls to phones anywhere in the world, and they are free to person receiving calls (but more expensive for the person calling). They are also a sure sign of a scammer who is pretending to be in UK when he is not.

Going further, the English in his introduction is 100% African, and I see the standard scammer storyline developing too.

Just drop all contact with him. I will update the title of this topic to make his info easier to see.

If you are legitimate then well done on taking such a proactive stance on scammers.

One thing that I would like to know though is how you happen to find this post so soon after it was posted? If you do a search on Shaadi.com nothing comes up on the first few pages. However, if you search the scammers email address this page is the first entry.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

If you can write to Debra and get the details, it would help us take quick action. I just hope that the suspect profile is not in communication with any other member.
