Information on romance scams and scammers.
by rosie.hines Sun Dec 16, 2012 12:26 am
Hi
I was contacted by a man on a dating site who claimed to be in the US Military as an Engineer. I was conversing with him for the past 2 months - whilst he claimed to that he was sent to Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. Embarrassingly I was completely sucked in to the full story...... cant believe I was so gullible!!!
Although he has never asked me for money I decided to check him out on this site and wouldnt you know it....

He said his name was Piers Moose.... I googled his pic and - well the rest is history basically....feel like an absolute fool! Just want to warn others of him.

Do you want pics or any info?

Thanks

Welcome to ScamWarners [b], it is not necessary to feel bad. Scammers are very good at what they do. Romance scammers will take time to develop a "relationship" with their victims. Eventually they WILL ask for money from you.

Yes, please post the email address the scammer is using, and post an early email. If you with to post photos, the directions to do that are in my signature line. Please be sure to deface them so other scammers cannot pick them up and use them in a scam too.

Ok here a couple of early posts

Hi Rosie,
Nice to read your short message and i am very sorry for the late response as i have been a little busy for a while now, I am not so good at talking about myself, but i will say that i am a very friendly and nice person with a cool and calm attitude, i am more of a listener that a talker ..I am Australian America, my mother was Australian but she is late now, i have a 23 years old daughter almost done with university, and i have been single for 10years now ..
I am fun loving and enjoy traveling to new places and i work as an Aircraft maintenance engineer and i have worked for over 25yrs.. i like my job because everyday is a new challenge and it gives me the chance to travel and work with different people from different backgrounds.
I am currently stationed as a Technician Attache to maintain and repair US fighter jets and helicopters abroad and the plan to retire as soon as possible.

Thought it would be an opportunity to see if i would be lucky again to find the woman to spend the remaining part of our lives together in so much love and understanding, i believe a real relationship requires lots of friendship,humor,understanding,commitment and a high level of communication among all, a desire to have your thoughts listened to by your better half and ideas being shared and handled together goes a long in a real love life...I understand how busy we both may be, but I think if you are serious about finding a real relationship, it would be nice if we try and see how good we can make it work together

I like motor sports, scuba diving, swimming and i like to watch soccer, i enjoy playing tennis, cooking and i love having a good time with a few friends and my loved ones
I am open to conversation and i like to share my thoughts as much as possible. most of all i am a very caring and loving person who is willing two have a real and long lasting love life.
I hope i have been able to express myself in a little way and i also want you to tell me more about you in your next messaage and hopefully send me pictures as well.
Yours,
Piers.

and another;
Hello Rosie,
How are you doing? I really appreciate your message and to be sincere i was trying to put some words together for you early today but i had to read your messages again,you have expressed yourself so much that i personally feel i might not be able to meet up...very nice and interesting but i must say highly intimidating as well.
Especially when you wrote that though i said i am not so good at talking about myself but i should take the time and will to write you back because you are interested...you swept off my feet really...
I thought well about it and decided it would be nice if we can have a chat...i guess we can take the time to talk more like a conversation kind of...can you get hotmail messenger and ID?? or probably yahoo? we can add each other and i can tell you much more than you can imagine.. I am a very genuine person and i really appreciate your genuinity and patience as well, i want you know that your pictures are lovely and your life must be an interesting one considering what i have read about you..
Rosie i would be honored to be part of you in the most loving way i can and vice versa.
Can you take that step of getting the hotmail or yahoo messenger? If you have any problem doing that please let me know as i can't wait to answer your questions so i hope to read from you as soon as possible.
Lots of thoughts from,
Piers.

Will try and put up pics..

"Piers" is neither Australian nor American but West African, by the way he writes.
