The scammers name is Stephen Richard Jacob, and his new phone number is 404-410-6996. He stated that he is an engineer, lives in a 5 bedroom house in Atlanta, Georgia, and drives a Range Rover. After several weeks of talking, and phone calls between the two of us, he "acquired a contract" in Turkey, and had to leave in two days. After he "got there", he contacted via phone, and stated that he had left his shoes at his home. Previously, he had mentioned that a man in New York had hacked into his checking account, and that he had to close it. Therefore, he was in Turkey only with the monies that he brought with him, but was living in the Hilton hotel there.

One day, he asked me if he would send me the link for three pairs of shoes, would I purchase them for him, and mail them to him. I already knew of this site, and he told me that it wasn't him that it was someone else. I thought it was rather strange, and had a gut feeling that things weren't right, but did it anyway. He sent me links for three pairs of shoes from the Zappos web site. I purchased them, and mailed them to him in Turkey (total $350). I gave him the Post Office tracking number, and he told me he would figure out a way to send the money to me. Prior to all of this, we were texting back and forth at least 4 times a day, and had plans for "the future" when he returned. However, after he knew that the shoes had been mailed, the texts started slowing down, and there were times that I didn't hear from him. Then, one day, I figured that he had truly scammed me, and sent him a text for him to send me my money that I needed repayment. It was just a few minutes when I received a text stating that I was showing my true colors, and that it was good that he found it out now, and that I would get my money. He said for me to send him my address, and he would get the check to me as soon as possible. However, we were done. Finished. He said that when he came back to the U. S. that he would decide whether or not that he would contact me to try to see each other. It has now been almost two months, and, needless to say, I have not heard from him or received my money. The phone number is still working, and I have tried calling several times to see if he would answer, but no luck. The above link is to a web site that he says was his company. However, the bridge that he stated he had worked on is a bridge that is in Australia as I found out from looking for bridges all over. I hope this helps someone not to go through what I did.

Hello djmorgan793

Would you kindly post the e-mail address that this person is mailing you from,

There is every chance that it isn't the same person that is mentioned in the link that you have provided. - Romance Scammers will take every opportunity to hi-jack anybodies identity if it makes them look more believable.

I am wondering about this site where you purchased the shoes. I know that my mother has made purchases on this same site. Is this a real site or a site set up by scammers?

This information is very accurate. This man is scamming a good friend of mine. She has sent him a lot of money and wants more. He wants the money sent via Western Union to a Akinola Badmus supposedly staying at the Mercin Hotel in Turkey.. I've checked the tax records at 21 Peachtree Circle NE in Atlanta GA and spoke with the real estate agent who is selling this house.. He does not live there! I have tried to report him to the FBI but they will not take my complaint since it is against someone else, even though she is mentally ill.. Someone needs to catch this man and stop him soon.

I have been approached by a Eray Persie Paul on OK cupid, the story is almost identical to the one told by STEPHEN RICHARD JACOB, Eray provided an address for STEPHEN RICHARD JACOB in Cyprus Turkey for me to use to send money. We have talked from April to September, and I was conned and scammed in a most royal fashion. He has since accused ME of trying to blackmail HIM, he denies knowing me, although I have over 500 pages of messages between us, and pictures. I have since spoken to two other ladies who have been scammed by him. He apparently works with at least two others, they scam the poor, disabled, and any race. Somehow, this group needs to be stopped. That comment from someone claiming that the posted pictures of him were stolen is not true and was likely posted by one of them. He has also given me a Tunde Badmus Akinola as a contact person to send money to. I have a phone number for Tunde, who called me to report that "Eray" was in a car accident en route to the airport to catch a plane to come home to 'me'. He immediately asked for money because the "hospital would not treat his coma, without money." Of course no one responds to any of my tests now, and I denied a friend request on facebook from him yesterday, after he continually denied ever knowing me and started using racial slurs toward me. I was sending him Instant messages on facebook, after first asking him why did he want to be my facebook friend. I caught him in many lies during those texts and whenever that happened, he would revert to calling me names and using racial slurs.

March 2014: unfortunately I am another victim of Stephen Richard Jason, aka Eray Persie Paul, Patrick Haines, Andrew mcGregor, and Peter Phelps. I am trying to pool all of the information each of us have into one case. I am hoping by combining all of our info we will find more leads and also the violation will be large enough the police will be interested. I am knew to these sites and not sure how we can communicate without sharing our personal information with the world. If you would like to participate in pulling these guys down please respond to this posting and we will figure out how to get in contact.
