Hi desertlily,

Welcome to Scam Warners and I'm glad to see that you didn't fall for the scam.

Is that the full header for the email that you received, as it doesn't appear to point to Nigeria.

Also you might want to edit your post to remove your own email address, so that scammers and spammers don't pick up on it.

Finally, there is no way of tracing the real person in the photograph, he could be anywhere. That is one of the downsides of posting all your pics on the internet - anyone can see them and use them.

i deleted this email adress already
thats all whats left,cause ideleted it all.. so i copy it from the mail i send to one of my friends to find out, who is behind the email adress (41.155.40.196, this is his public IP Address)
i was questioning this "alfred shope" guy so much, that he was "silent" sundenly and then blamed me, that i dont trust him.. and after i while, with all this "lovely" talking i trusted him a bit.. and i send him pictures..
and now i worry sooo much...

[AlanJones]

You are right the IP addres you quote resolves to

Header Analysis Quick Report
Originating IP: 41.155.40.196
Originating ISP: Starcomms Limited
City: Lagos
Country of Origin: Nigeria
* For a complete report on this email header goto ipTRACKERonline

And your email address is still showing in the post above as [email protected] (without the Xs)

as i told u... i deleted this email adress..
so, tell me..do u think i will get problems now, because he get my pics.. thats all i worry now..

I don't think you understand me. In your post here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28032&view=unread#p75659 you have left your email address visible.

In Ihrem Beitrag hier viewtopic.php?f=4&t=28032&view=unread#p75659 Sie links Ihre E-Mail-Adresse sichtbar.

As to your photos, all that is likely to happen is that they may use them in future scams to pretend to be a female.

i think i get u right but i delted this account, anyway it was my "fake account" cause i didnt trust this person..
so there is no chance at all, to see if he or "it" will use it.. oh..my..god..

Hi desertlily.

re: i was questioning this "alfred shope" guy so much, that he was "silent" sundenly and then blamed me, that i dont trust him...

Well, it would do that, as many of them do! Because you did not follow the script pattern, the scammer was placed on the back foot. They hate that.
Whether a scammer uses your photo for the wrong reason is open to debate. Maybe yes, but maybe no.
I'm afraid that is a risk we all take.

the only thing thats left for me is.. i feel so stupid,abused and angry.. and i use the internet since it come up...and never ever something like this is happen to me..

and.. what kind of information he get about me?? mean..my email adress was fake,ok.. but i wrote from my office computer and from my mobile(not sms,email..)

[AlanJones]

You were using a gmail account, which strips out the sender's IP address information, so unless you told him your address and phone number then he won't have those details.

no...nothing at all... thank god.. is it useful to post the pic of "him"? and when, how? thank u again for ur great help...

[AlanJones]

Yes, posting them will be good as it will allow others to see they are dealing with the same scammer, you can find instructions on how to post photos here - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219.
