Information on romance scams and scammers.

Do not fall for this guy! He is bad at what he does because I knew it was a scam right from the beginning! Check out his last email...and NO, I did not fall for it!

I am sorry I haven't getting back to you on time. The hotel management has disconnected my internet access because I have some outstanding bills to pay. Baby, I still cant get my Check cashed and the banks here wont approve me a loan since I don't have an NI or a Collateral security. I want to ask you this one last favor, I feel comfortable entrusting you with my money. If you think I can trust you with my money and you willing to help, I will appreciate if you can help me to get my money orders cashed and get the money send to me Via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram, I was told that is the only way I can get money received here since I don't have a personal bank account. Kindly let me know how you want your Name to be appeared on the Money Orders, Your Postal Address and your contact phone number baby preferably your Cell. I hate to see myself missing my flight but I know this wont last for long once you can get my money orders cashed for me to get my flight out of here and I can take care of my shipment later. Please write back with the necessary information baby. I am sorry if you have not been getting my emails frequently, believe me I am sharing a lap top right now. Hope to read back from love soon.

Much Love


Brad

In eyesandblue`s own words
eyesandblue is a divorced male 46 old
I think of myself as being funny, insightful, intelligent and lively. I enjoy new people and pride myself on being a good conversationalist if you would like to know eyesandblue is my contact you can write me there and I will reply as soon as possible. I like people who are engaging intellectually; people who are curious about the world around them. It is important to me to take care of myself and I look for that in others. I like to have my own time and space but I am a very loyal person who will drop everything for a friend and my women, despite catching my best friend and my wife in the act which result to my divorce, just cut it short for now but it was devastating and disheartening. I hate women and friends playing head game. I am a structural engineer, a building merchandise supplier and I remodel. I enjoy my work, I have my good times and my bad times making loss and profit, but over all I find it to be interesting. I don't plan on giving it up any time soon, hopefully start a new life with the right woman. I use to write songs but you can hardly find me sing, just me, my guitar and my woman in the bedroom singing and dancing, its the kind of life I would like to share with the right woman, it really keep me relax and exhibit my hiding talent in the secret place of love. Not really much at this time of my life, as I am not really inspired by the women out their trying to play on every man that approaches or comes their way. Anyway I am finishing my professionals with International School of Management, while I think my next steps for the future. I hit the gym once or twice in a week but I don't fight with steel, I do also some aerobic exercise, I don't miss swimming every weekend if there is means relax at the watersides, I started cycling and I just bought a racing bike for myself. In general... I like paying golf and love to COOK.
eyesandblue are looking for
The person that I would get along well with wouldn't take herself too seriously because already I lost passion for women, trust for friends after what my ex wife and my best friend did to me which causes my divorce. Working on something that is meaningful is important but one should always be able to appreciate humor. Recently I was asked by a Manhattan Theater snob what my primary influences were for the musical that I just finished writing. I said, sincerely, "Hmm, probably the Muppet Show. I watched that a lot as a kid." He was horrified. For the love of God, lighten up Jeez. As for who I'm looking for again, well, I'll know when I find her face to face. Kindness, caring, loyalty and honesty are important also she must welcome everything about me, take me for who I am and not what I am. As well as self confidence, she should be confident enough not to lie in her profile about her age, height, weight or job. I would feel more happy, if she likes dogs and be the sort of person that would rather pick up a stray from the animal shelter than spend big money on a purebred puppy. She should like people and being social. Socially aware either through the work she does or the volunteering she does when she can. Most important, she should be mature enough to be willing to support me in my profession and business career.

'Brad' - if that's his real name, made contact with me through the dating site matchaffinity. When I went back to try and retrace his first message and look at his profile page in order to report him to the site administrators, I couldn't locate him, either because he blocked me or he's removed himself from the site.

He has a facebook page, which only allows you to send him a private message, and an accessible info page with the same blurb: 'caught wife and best friend in the act / both parents died in a car crash' etc.. too much of an unbelievable story!

And yes, he did ask me to send him some money, apparently he was stuck in the US. The facts just didn't add up, and I was hoping to find a way to report him. Although no money was sent to him, I was determined to let people know of what he's doing - is the picture he's put on facebook and on the site of himself? I doubt it. I wonder if the actual person knows what he's up to.

Just wanted to share.

It's not.

is the picture he's put on facebook and on the site of himself?

No. He just stole some photos from the internet. The real owner of the photos may know about it--but unfortunately, whether he knows or not, there's nothing he can do about it, as the scammer has saved the photos to his own drive and there is no way to get them back.

He's not British, and he's not stuck in the US. Chances are he has never even been to the US. He is a young, black, African man who makes his living stealing from people he finds online.

If he has used any different information with you (new email, etc.) please post it here to help alert others.

Here is a link to his facebook page https://www.facebook.com/brad.palmer.3760. I hope no woman falls for his crap and I feel sorry for the person he stole pictures from...although, he did send me several photos all of which were of the same guy. I would post them but I am not sure how. I hope anyone that is contacted by him looks him up and sees this site!!!
by rkf12 Mon Jul 30, 2012 9:36 am
He also uses email address: [email protected]

He sent me a couple of other pics of what looks like the same guy; will try to find a way to upload them.

This is when alarm bells went off!

====

Could you believe the banks here in the State refuses to cash my Check! They want me to have it deposit for 20-30 working days which is waiting another 4-6 weeks. The Check I have with me is a certified bank Check, drawn from Nat West Bank and my Check use to be good as cash but they want me to have it deposit just because of the amount on it which is £27,000. The problem is I have spent all the cash I have at hand and in the bank on my purchases. I explained to them how urgent it is for me to take care of my shipment. I spent more than 4 hours with the shipper looking for a bank to cash the Check. Believe me Sweetie, we couldn't find one, not even HSBC or Citi Bank which are international banks. They still require me to have it deposited for 30 working day. Meanwhile, my merchandise are already waiting shipment sealed inside the container at the Port here in Phoenix. The shipper got frustrated and had to leave back to his office because he has some other clients waiting for him. I couldn't waste anytime, I went straight to the UK consulate (Embassy), they said the same thing. I was told due to the large attempt on International/Local Frauds and Scams going on in the banking industries here in the US, I will have to follow the banking rules and regulation requiring every International Check over $10,000.00 will have to be deposit for 20-30 business days. I was told not even Bank draft are accepted or negotiable here in the US. Only Travelers Checks are accepted and could be cashed instantly. Any international Check over $10,000.00 will have to be declared and deposited as stated in the banking constitution....sigh! I got totally frustrated and confused.




I just got back to the hotel now with this serious headache. I am so afraid I am going to miss my flight because I cant leave my shipment behind and still have some custom duties to settle with insurance. Also, my container has limited time to stay in the port since it has been already booked for shipment, I cant even get any of my things out of the Port. I was suppose to pay cash at the KLM office desk before 48 hours for the rescheduled flight, just so anxious to get my things shipped out of here with myself. I really don't know why is this happening when we were suppose to meet. I have never experience such since I have been travelling. My Check use to be good as cash. I am totally confused and depressed right now because I am not here with my Credit Cards, this Check is all I have got. I just got my Credit Cards deactivated last month when I noticed my Ex was still using it to pay her bills since she use to be the second Card-holder to my CC. I think I need to take a nap now, I'm having this serious headache with lost appetite since morning. I am so stressed out physically and mentally right now. I hope you can sense how I am actually feeling. I have spent all my available capital and funds on this huge purchase, the booking for my shipment and customs duties at the seaport. I am totally out of cash and its making me going crazy right now.



I will look for your email later, please just know I will be fine. I am not trying to transfer the depression to you baby just wanted to let you know how everything is going with me, please remember me in your prayer. Cant stop thinking about you baby. I am going to have the worse birthday of my whole life tomorrow *sad and frown*


Lots Of Love

This is definitely "scammer logic."

If you look at some of the information on check scams here at scamwarners, you will learn that the exact opposite of what he said is true.

By law, if a bank hasn't determined a check is fake, they have to pay out the cash in a certain number of days (the actual number depends on the type of check, but they are all less than 2 weeks.) They absolutely could not hold the money for 6 weeks--IIRC it is less than one week for certified checks.

Later, if they determine the check is fraudulent, they can take the money back, but not until it has been proven fraudulent, and of course the scammer is claiming he has a legitimate check.

Ha, those are the same pics he sent me! He also sent me this which is basically the same story as above...

How are you doing today baby. I woke up this morning and I headed straight to the shipper's office and we both went to the bank. Could you believe the banks here in London refuses to cash my Check! They want me to have it deposit for 20-30 working days which is waiting another 4-6 weeks since the Check was drawn from a US Sun-trust Bank with a large amount of $27k. The problem is I have spent all the cash I have at hand and in the bank on the purchases of my merchandise. I spent almost 6 hours with the shipper looking for a bank to cash the Check, believe me we couldn't find one, not even HSBC or Barclay's international banks still require me to have it deposited for 20-30 business day. Meanwhile, my merchandise are already waiting shipment sealed inside the container at the Port Of Authority. I had to leave the shipper because he has some other shipments to handle. I went straight to the US consulate (Embassy), they said the same thing. I was told due to the large attempt on frauds and scams going on in the banking industries, I will have to follow the British banking rules and regulation requiring every International Check over $20,000.00 to be deposited for 20-30 business days. I was told Usps money orders are not even accepted here in the UK ( Only Travelers Checks ) are accepted and can be cashed instantly. Any international Check over $20,000.00 will have to be declared and deposited as Stated in the banking constitution....sigh! I got totally frustrated and confused.


I am back to the hotel now, I am so afraid I might be missing my flight because I cant leave without taking care of my shipment which is the reason I am here and still have some custom duties clear so I can get my way bill and clearance for the US customs. I was suppose to pay cash at the KLM office desk before 48 hours for the rescheduled flight, just so anxious to get my things shipped out of here and come see you. Why is this happening to me when we are suppose to meet. I have never experience anything like this since I have been travelling, my Cashier Checks use to be good as cash. I am totally confused and depressed right now. I think I need to take a nap, I'm having this slight headache, lost appetite since morning, so stressed out physically and mentally. I hope you can sense how I am actually feeling right now. I spent all my cash at hand and in bank on this huge purchase, the booking for my shipment and customs duties at the seaport yesterday and I just got my Credit Cards deactivated last month due to my Ex using them at Italy. I am totally out of cash and its making me going crazy right now.


I will look for your email later, please just know I will be fine. I am not trying to transfer the depression to you baby just wanted to let you know how everything is going with me, please remember me in your prayer. Cant stop thinking about love.

Much Love

Isn't the drivers seat on the right side of a car in the UK? I have never been so I am not sure. But, I think this person may be from the states with the clothing and hat that he has shown in the pics. Also, he sent me a pic with the mascott of a US baseball team. It is too bad because whoever it is in those pics is a nice looking guy. It is unfortunate if it is actually him that he feels the need to scam people! Hopefully, he has a day job because he sucks at this one!!!
by rkf12 Mon Jul 30, 2012 1:58 pm
Yes you are right, I did ask him who took the pics for him if he was travelling alone?

Why are such scammers not exposed in the media, perhaps the owner of the pictures need to be made aware; whether it IS the person himself, although I can understand when it comes to stolen pictures there's nothing the person can do...

i recently came across what appeared to be a genuine guy, living in my area in the UK, on the dating site. datingforparents.com i sent him a couple of lines email about a week ago. his profile name is braduniqueblueye . he just emailed me today and i dont know why i was a little suspicious (probably because this site has a few dubious profiles) and as his profile is so open and full of self pity with a lot of info and not the type normally written by guys. also i realised he hadnt checked my profile when replying which means he didnt check me at all but his email suggests he did. i am naturally cynical anyway so i tried to search his name brad palmer for the area he said he lived in - lancing, sussex , uk- but no references on google. then i discovered the very same guy on your scammers website with same pictures! so glad to have found out this information before i emailed him again. thank u so much... quite worrying to think these people exist. here is the email he sent to me so other people can see what he writes..
'Hello Beautiful,

Thanks for the interest beautiful, I hope you having a nice and wonderful week. Really, I am new to this online dating and sincerely, I am not really inspired. I am considering taking off my profile and if perhaps cancel my membership this weekend before your page caught my attention. I just want something real not all these silly emails I am getting here. Women taking about sex, naughty and material things at first introductory email. That sucks, I don't think its what am actually looking for in a woman even if I don't lake a sense of romance. I am recently divorce, looking for a long term relationship with a marriage potential. I will like to keep our conversation through my regular email if you don't mind, its [blocked details] Please tell me more about you, how long you have been on this dating site, your experience with other men and what you actually looking for in a man.

Hope to keep seeing your email.

Brad Palmer is now Daniel Palmer, [email protected]. He is using the same old story about cheating wife and best friend. He now is claiming to live in MT and in London for work. I am betting my next email from him will be one to ask for money. He story was getting too good to be true so I Google several things he told me. Like address and places he worked. All those came back at true places. I even sent did Google search on the pictures when I first got them. The first few I didn’t get a hit on. However, with last one I found this website. I even Google the title of his last email, and it led me to a website that sold software to help people write love letters. He used the example one, almost word for word. WTF! I think he just copy and pasted it. He is learning thou. One of the post said they pointed out that he was on the wrong side of the car for London. He said he will be sending me the picture but explained ahead time why his on the wrong side. That his taxi driver is form the States and that the drive brought his own car over to England form the States. Also claiming to be born in CA but raised in Germany so speaks with a German accent. However, when I sent message in German he didn’t respond to it.
So everyone beware he is still looking for targets.
