Is this person a scammer?

by ironlady_51 Mon Dec 05, 2011 10:34 am

I received an email request for friendship from someone called Shawn Gray who claimed that he was in the marines. His email address is [email protected] and he says that he is a widower with one son. He 'fell' in love with me instantly and wants to relocate to South Africa. He is apparently currently on a milary base in the UK. Has anyone heard from this person. He also needs money to seal a deal (smile).

Many thanks

A search on the email address here brought up the following match viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28004&hilit=shawnandjames7%40yahoo.com.

While a search on Google gives a number of results, all anti-scam sites.

So I would say it is a scam.

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.
