Concerning "henry maxwell" this is a fake name used by this scammer to scam one of our members here.

The scammer fell in love with and proposed marriage after just three e-mails.

The member was advised to cease all communication and the scammer gave up his scam attempt.

The details are vague, but there are reports of "henry maxwell" only being one alias used by this scammer.

The UK redirect number is used in an attempt to mislead victims into assuming that the scammer is based in the UK.

Dear Enchantress

Many thanks for the reply. He offers me to go to KL in Malaysia and claims that he will pay for all the expenses. He also stated that he wants marriage as well. But I am not rich, why he wants to lie to someone which is far away from UK? He also sent me wine and flowers. Do you know what is his intention?

I am glad to find this post now, as he wants me to be in KL this weekend where he will 'expend' his business there! He is not really a car dealer as he said, right?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Mc Mug,

Scammers will often send people gifts such as flowers and wine, these are paid for using somebody else's credit card and certainly not the scammer's credit card, amonst his next steps he may ask you to receive other goods paid for by credit card and then ask you to forward them onto him.

If you were to do this, the merchant who provided those goods will eventually realise the goods were paid for with a bad card and they will want their stuff back, when they do you will be the last port of call and you may be held liable for the goods that you forwarded on.

We have seen many cases where scammers target people that have little money, a scammer does not care because they can often convince a poor person to borrow money from a friend or to sell something, a scammer does not care ehow much harm they cause, they only care for stealing your money.

This scammer is claiming that he will pay for your flights, i can only take guesses as to what he will ask next but there is a good chance that he will need you to pay money towards these tickets or some unforseen fee will come up, it is inevitable that you will be asked to send money time and time again and the person who will always receive the bulk of the money is always going to be the scammer.

No, he is not really a car dealer.

If you have any more questions please ask

Hello

I have given him my offical name and address, would I be in danger? what should I watch out?

Many thanks for your help.

You are in no physical danger.

While it is not ideal to give scammers any information it isn't the end of the world when you do, obviously for us here at Scamwarners we go to great lengths to disrupt scammers so we need to be doubly careful.

For the average person who has realised its a scam and stopped replying there is no huge problem.

What you need to be careful of now is scam emails that you may receive that may include some of heh details you have given them and as such look a lot more realistic.

If you stick to the basic rules of not replying to any email that has an offer of a financial nature or by people who want to befriend you then you shouldn't have any problems.

Of course, if you ever have doubt you can always ask us here, we are always happy to help where we can

Many thanks for your advise.

Really appreciate.

Mc Mug

Never a problem, please dont hesitate to ask if you ever have any questions

For now, good night

Dear sir

Henry Maxwell called me many times to ask me why I wasn't online to chat to him and still want me to travel with him in the next few days, I am confuse. I asked him for a prove to state his ownership of a car dealing shop and he said he will prove it to me. I want to know what his scams is up to? I already confront him that I know the fact that he is not a car dealer, and doesn't live in the UK, and all is a lie, why he insist to keep calling me? Or because he was unable to find others to scam?

Anxious to know.

It means that he still thinks he can convince you to believe him, and he still believes he can get you to send money. Some scammers are incredibly persistent, and will continue the lie as long as they think there is even a tiny chance of getting money, especially if they don't have many paying victims at the moment. He will produce fake certificates to show he owns the car dealership, fake ID cards, and fake (edited) passport copies to try to convince you he is real.

He doesn't care if you say you have no money, as he will gladly tell you to borrow some from friends or family, sell your possessions, or take out a loan. While pretending to be kind, loving, and sympathetic, these scammers are actually incredibly cold and really don't care what damage they do to you or anyone you know, as long as they get money.

Hi

Can you tell me how to turn him down? or to make him go away? As even I confront him that he is lying, he still continue to think that he will be able to get me interested! Is there a way that will make him go away forever?

Many thanks for your advice.

Refuse all contacts with him. Stop taking his calls, do not respond to his emails or txt, block him from chat, do not initiate any kind of contact with him yourself, just drop him quietly without telling him a word. You already educated him by telling what his mistake was and believe me, he will improve his tools with his next victim.
If you cannot trust yourself to stay strong and refuse any contact with him - change your phone nr, cancel your email address which hi is writing to you on, change your chat id. It may take sometime but he eventualy will stop contacting you as the name you know him. Just prepare yourself for suddenly a siege of unknown admirers and lots of ofers and promotion deals coming to you over the internet and phone, postal address. Scamers tend to store his contacts details and use them for his work at any given time. Or they sell your data to another gang or pass it to another member of the very same gang. Wish to tell you something more chereful but this is the sad truth...

As Eve says, just ignore him. As lomg as you keep replying, he thinks he still has a chance of taking your money.
