Information on romance scams and scammers.
by bakernikki Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:37 pm
I have met [email protected] on match.com. It has been about a week and suddenly he has lost his wallet with $5k in it. He has asked for my help and needs me to send first $800 then $500 and now$200 to help him so he can eat. He states he is in Africa working and installing computers in the schools and orphanages there. If I do not help him he will be stuck in Africa. His Chase bank account has been put on hold. When I suggested for him to contact his ex wife, aunts uncles cousins (because both parents have passed away) there is always an excuse or he just plain doesn't acknowledge.
I feel bad for the mans picture that is being used, not knowing he is a victim in a romance scam as well as me. I have not sent money, :D but it has broken my heart to find that this love I thought was real is only a scam.
Larry4love says he resides in Algonac, MI. I have done a google image search and found his picture many times but with different names. I have found him on Meetme.com and Facebook but there is no activity, only this picture. I have his number and have verified that the area code is from Michigan. I'm not sure how to post his picture here to help warn people of what is being used. This is almost as devastating as my divorce was for me.

I'm sorry the individual has wasted your time bn. Did a quick search of the e-mail address & a photo I saw showed a dark haired subject with a dark mo and small goatee wearing a white shirt. I presume it's the same individual? Could not find any info on said image. However the story of losing it's wallet with 5 grand in it seems very odd. I certainly would not be carrying cash around in a wallet of that magnitude. If he was genuinely from the US working in Africa, the US embassy would be in a position to help him. Simply being a beggar and asking you to send money confirms your suspicion. A real respectful guy would not even think of such a question.

Tagline: i am a loving man that want the best woman for mylife
Member Since: May 1, 2013
Gender: Male
Location: Algonac, MI
Age: 46
Orientation: Straight

Books:
I usually read several books at a time. I am currently reading the following: Max Lucado - Traveling Light; Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul; It's All Too Much, Also 5 Languages of Love. I enjoy the outdoors, esp the beach. Walking on the beach at night,waves crashing restlessly, a million stars in the sky,, ahhh perfect for me.

Dreams:
I am looking for someone who is not scarred by life but rather intrigued by the challenges we all face. I desire honesty and integrity in a woman and am not looking for any "professional daters". When I am in love my partner is my muse and inspires me to be more than I am...to write poetry and music. I realize none of us are perfect but when you are truly in love you respect each other and see past their faults (faults are thick where love is thin) If you appreciate uniqueness that would be me and I would like to find the same in a woman. I am not a saint but I am the first one to stand up for justice and am very protective of my loved ones. I don't want a woman who is possessive or insecure but rather respectful and faithful. If you are ready to start a new chapter in life then we should talk. If you constantly talk about your past relationships you are the wrong woman for me. The past is just that...the past. I am not concerned about where you have been but rather where you would like to go...the future is waiting for us, are you ready?

About Me:
I am attractive on the outside but what is inside is my best accolade... I prefer to give than receive and have much to offer the right woman...I want the same in my woman. I believe that the success of a relationship depends on the individuals involved and the effort they put forth, be truthful and loving and we can finish this journey together. My love, my muse... my everything. "If ever a woman touched my heart quite like you I would'nt have known it and it could'nt be true, for in my mind I'm a prisoner and in my heart I'm a fool to think that someone so wonderful, so beautiful, so inexplicably divine would have but a moment to share or a thought or a care for this heart of mine" And yes, I wrote this...I AM VERY ADVENTUROUS. AM WILLING TO TRY DIFFERENT THINGS. DOES SHE HAVE TO BE ADVENTUROUS? ABSOLUTELY NOT! SHE CAN BE HER OWN.Life has so much to offer all you need to do is grab it. It always amazes me what great opportunity's that await us. Some ...i am an honest,hard-working guy that loves to laugh & have a good time ..i love the outdoors camping , walks along the river to sit next to the river edge and watch the sunset but it is great to have such a good time with someone
