Hi everybody. I have been getting messages on Facebook from a man called johnny Walter. He is supposedly from the states but is now working in Nigeria. I have been in contact with him for two months now and I just want to know if he is real or a scanner. His email is [email protected]. Thank you

It is impossible to tell from just an email address, but the story of being American and working in Nigeria fits an often used scammer scenario. As does the contacting random people on Facebook.

If you can post some of the messages he has sent you, the language used will probably give clues as to whether he really is American or not.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

Hi calamity, I hope you come back and post some more information so we can assist you. This is classic scammer material. Of course, if you have told him you suspect him, by now he has spent time trying to convince you it can't be true. Why, I'll bet he hasn't asked you for money so how can he be a scammer? Please remember, scammers are professional liars. Some ask for money right away. Others build your trust in the relationship before they ever get to that point. And it can be based on an emergency, a work issue, any number of ideas. Please stop contact with this person. I know you have invested 2 months and you probably are enjoying it and maybe find it hard to believe it is not real . Understand- this person is not who they say they are.
