Information on romance scams and scammers.
by Aus_Made39 Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:20 pm
I recently started chatting to this guy called David on [email protected], he goes by the name David23 R. After chatting to him he told me his name was David Melson and he was turkish, he moved to the US after his family was poisoned (alarm bells started ringing)...after 2 days he was going to the Ivory Coast for work as he is a contractor. I continued chatting to him he professed his love for me, blah,blah,blah and I was his Angel, Queen etc....the problem with all this is I have heard it all before. His favourite songs are Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye and Endless Love by Lionel Richie (hello). Tonight he asked me to accept some cash for him and he would get me a %....I refused. Unfortunately I have recently been scammed and I knew the signs and what to look for. I want to stop this guy oh and the pics he is using is of a guy on Myspace....Mike Barker. I just hope he has not conned some-one else in on his lies....honest yeah right.... :lol:

Hello Aus_Made39!

Yep you are 100% correct! Very typical story for a romance scammer. I'm glad you figured it out and did not accept the money. Scanners often use their victims as money mules. He wanted you to accept a bank deposit then send most of it to him via Western Union. They do this to launder the money and it can cause serious legal problems for the scammers victims.

Thanks for posting the information it will help others who search those details avoid the scammer. Can you also post a couple of his initial emails to you?

Justin

This is part on the conversation regarding me collecting money for him....I cannot find the rest in our conversation history. I agreed to help him to buy myself some time and get the info I needed to report him here.

Dear Baby,
I do not know how to express the conflicting emotions that have surged like
a storm through my heart all night long..... I only know that first and foremost
in all my thoughts has been the glorious confirmation you gave me last night
in my dream without effort, unconsciously, of course of all I have ever thought of
your mind and heart. You have the greatest soul, the noblest nature, the sweetest, most loving heart I have ever known, and my love and admiration for you have increased so much since we've known each other that it still amazes me.You are more wonderful and lovely in my eyes than you ever were before; and my pride and joy and gratitude that you should love me with such a perfect love are beyond all expression i love you so much hny ...this is the only email I received from him and it does not take a genius to work out he has copied this. I also received quotes he copied from a site I googled it and found the site. He is not very bright considering I told him he was copying them because this piece has no spelling errors and I have no problem reading it.

I have ceased contact with him and now I am even more aware of their pathetic scams....I got caught once and I can assure you if I find anymore they will be heading your way.... :D

You are welcome, if I can save another woman being humiliated and taken advantage I will continue to report them. Seems TAGGED is the breeding ground for these lowlifes... :roll:

Sadly most dating sites are crawling with scammers especially the free ones. The paid ones are not excluded as scammers can buy memberships with stollen/compromised credit cards.

Yes [email protected] aka David Melson from Marietta Ga is still working it..same story as above! After this person tried to scam me I googled his aka name with scam attached..n here I am now warning people of this...I sent him the article I found here to yahoo email.listed above...contacted tagged ..n asked y this guy is allowed on there..obviously they know about this....I already blocked him from my profile but did not delete the messages he sent me...I look on tagged to c if they were still there low n behold the messages n his profile disappear...
Hes using a different profile pic not Mr Barker as explained prior..also this guy had no friends on tagged n two profile pics were all that was there...he claimed I was crazy but couldnt wouldnt give a address for his house.in Georgia..I asked for a drivers license n social security number..he denied me any info...also he called me from Tanzania! A few days prior to this nites scam....
