Information on romance scams and scammers.

Karl Gabriel had a profile on Two Doves, listing himself as 58, looking for a woman 50 - 68, from Beverly Hills, CA. I googled a paragraph from his profile, which he also used in an email. and he uses the same text as in profiles from Luis Morris, Michael Lopez, Martin Raymer, and a host of other people listed on google, from multiple sites (including of female gender!) and including noted on spam sites, and I only looked at 2 pages on google - there appeared to be many more! I copied some of the google listings in the post here under Luis Morris. Karl Gabriel, or whoever he is, has a unique accent on the phone (and an explanation about being raised in several countries), and ultimately requested help via money lent or received on his behalf, due to a travel crisis.

Here is one of Karl Gabriel's emails:

Thank you very much for the call. I will tell you something about myself and personal life. Am here looking for a life partner for a long term relationship which you've already know about. and first we have to be friends to get to know more about each other and see where this will lead us to, and that we've been doing as i know you are not a total stranger to me anymore. I am generally an optimistic person with a sense of humor, fairly easy-going, and I don't think that I'm too critical about things, but I also believe that it takes two people contributing to a relationship to make it work right?

What am looking for: A conscious person who is serious about having a monogamous relationship. An honest person who you can count on in times of needs, someone to laugh with someone to have fun with, to share your hopes and dreams in good times and bad times.And also looking for a woman who is very responsible and doesn't shed away from her responsibilities.

A woman who is willing to take very good care of the family and always stick the family together through thick and thick and hope you get me right? I am looking for a woman who will be able to walk along the life path hand-in-hand with me, the one who will look at the same direction and will have the same values in our common life. I would like my future soul mate be intelligent and kind, devoted and caring, tender and reliable.

There is nothing that I have dreamed of more then to marry the woman of my dreams.Someone that makes me laugh, someone that I can be myself around. Someone that surprise me every time I see her. Someone sweet, caring, beautiful, intelligent just like you. Someone that loves me for me and wants to be with me and only me forever. Is that so much to ask?

I appreciate not the appearance of a person ,but her inner world and soul. I will be glad to find you ,My special, kind and very attentive loving woman.I hope to find a reliable woman, a responsible person with whom I'll be able to spend the rest of my days.

And the only person that always comes to my mind each time i think about that is you. please help me make it work babe. because i've already fall for you. i think am in love with you already. that was why i was a little bit scared when you was telling me about all those things about not meeting each other yet, you not knowing me and and so. i thought you've find someone ales and i was scared to lose you. i hope to meet up with you by the time i come back next week so i will have the opportunity to tell you what i feel for you in person.

thanks for posting the scammer's message
however, the header does not show a significant IP anymore
hotmail, outlook, msn, and live ... just send microsoft IPs

Thank you, Grunt. (Don't know where to find Microsoft IP. I looked up the one I found on a site and it said it was from Redmond - looked like near Washington state. Don't know if this was a link to some other place).
by Dotti Tue Feb 18, 2014 5:34 pm
Redmond is where Microsoft's servers are located. That is what Grunt meant--instead of showing you the true location of the sender, the headers stop at Microsoft's servers without showing you the IP of the computer that actually sent it.

I clicked a couple links from the scripts of Karl Gabirel I'd googled, and found his script on a Melissa Harrington (I believe was the last name), and a Janet Lorris. Janet's IP was noted:

IP: 41.210.9.68
Decimal: 701630788
Hostname: adsl968.4u.com.gh
ISP: Ghana Telecom

So at least someone using the same script as him (or her) is from Ghana. I found this on a scam site in the German language.

Do any of you understand why this person had an IP address in Philadelphia (per the dating site administrator)?
by AlanJones Thu Feb 20, 2014 2:20 am
He is probably using a proxy server to hide his real location.

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.

Thanks, Alan.

"karl" has been removed from the dating site, which has also listed an alert about him for people who sign in. As the administrator mentioned several people were scammed by him recently, I've asked the site administrator to give my email to the other woman with a request to contact me so that we can perhaps find healing and humor in comparing notes.

(This post with more detail is under TaylorLuger)

"Karl Gabriel" of the 43 million dollar mansion in Beverly Hills, AKA Luis Morris, Melissa Harrington, Janet..., Rayner, and pages and pages of others, including female from Ghana on google, has re-incarnated as "Dovefly" Taylor Luger on Two Doves, [email protected], whose profile in exact script is listed as Rachid on Muslima.com (with all different photos). He presents as a Baha'i on Two Doves, and a Sunni Moslem on Muslima.com (and separated!) and his photos are different on each. He sent a message to me almost identical to that sent by "Karl Gabriel"!
