What The Heck? I was just looking for some pictures of a friend on Google, then I decide to take a look at my images...

I find this. I still don't understand what's going on, but I would love to know what's going on with my pictures...

Please let me know... If somebody is using my pics, without my permission "Not Cool" ...
Even though I know that it is the internet and who knows whats in the minds of others, but like I said...
I would just like to know...
Thanks JosephDiego DiaMante

Hi Joseph,

Glad you found your way here - it is very helpful to reinforce that you are not in any way connected to the scammers when it comes to victims who may be confused. Unfortunately, sometimes we encounter victims who really need help in understanding that the person in the photos is not connected to the person using them.

What Grunt has posted are fake dating site profiles set up by one or more African scammers. Unfortunately, for evey profile we do find, there are probably 10 more using the same name and/or photos that we don't. In this case, Grunt used a tracer to track at least one of the responses to Nigeria, so we know that at least one of the profiles belongs to a Nigerian scammer.

The scammers invent fake names and fake background stories, and use photos of people they do not know. They then approach potential victims and start up fake online relationships. Ultimately, once they have convinced their victim they are in a real relationship, they start to invent emergencies or situations that requires the victims send money. Some of these scammers have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars of innocent people's money.

Grunt posted these profiles to alert potential victims that they are fake profiles being used by scammers.

Posting the profiles with the photos also makes the photos less desirable to the scammers. They prefer to use photos that have not been posted on an anti-scam site, because then they don't have to worry that a victim will find them posted and realize the profile is a fake.

WOW, You guys are doing a wonderful thing. Since I am online so much, I see this sort of thing all of the time. Being born and raised in an environment where, cons, robberies and many other dishonest ways were a part of life, I can smell these things coming from miles away...

Unfortunately so many people fall for these scams, that sites like this are needed...

Please Dotti, let me know if I can help in any way...

I applaud your efforts... :=) :=) :=)
