This is a typical scammer.

There is no package. Nothing is coming to you. You will receive an email or a phone call saying that you need to pay money for this (fake) package. Simply ignore it, and stop all contact with the scammer. He may harass you a bit, or send fake emails that are supposedly from law enforcement or customs, etc. None of this is real. You have done nothing wrong, and there is nothing you need to do, except ignore this scammer.

Please post the email address this scammer is using, and some of his emails to you, as he is likely sending the exact same email to others.

his second letter to me ...

Honey,
I am thankful to the day I got across your contact as I have grown in love each day I think about you. Since the past few days after I got close to you online, despite the harms of the internet and my work. I have continued to see each successive day as a reason to get closer to you and know you better. My mind keeps telling me that you are different from the numerous woman I have met and I am out to know what qualities differentiate you from others.

Please it is my desire to bring you to united state and I will take care of every expense and will get your visa. I can’t wait as your kind of lady is not common in this world were drugs has rendered million of ladies to useless.
In my heart, I truly love you and will show all cares to you. How is you parents? I will wait for your response soon you get this mail. I hope you are into any serious relationship at the moment?
Let me hear from you soon. I miss you."Long ago and far away I found love. Now, years later, that love found me!"

Yours,
CAPT MIKEL BANABAS

his third letter


Honey,
You mean everything to me since you come into my life. I felt honoured having you in my life and my instinct tells me you are that special one that could bring everlasting joy and comfort to me. Even though I never had any such relationship with you before, but this is one that gives me huge interest and I really want to go into it with you.


When is your birth date? I really want you to get to know my family as I have told my mum about you already and she is quite sceptical, but truly want to meet you. For me, I am convinced about you as since I saw you one with good attribute and respect, which is not common with most ladies.




Regarding your visitation to united state, I will get your visa and provide your round trip ticket ok.I will be travelling Syria next weekend and will find time to buy some gift items and rose flower and send to you through company Please provide me your full name and receiving mailing address and your phone number so I can address the parcel to you
I have not seen any reason to stay away from you since the past few days because I always remember you and think about you despite the distance that separates the both of us. Nonetheless, distance is nothing to me, as far as I am concerned it’s not enough barrier to stop love as far as it develops.
Please let me hear from you as soon as possible. You made my life easier with the softness of your eyes.




Yours,
CAPT. MIKEL BANABAS

So all you need to do is just ignore this scammer and he will soon go away.

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.

And if anyone wishes to publish an e-mail address/es or email header from the trickster, feel free to do so. Others do internet searches of scammers by email address which helps people when searching.
