Hello everyone,

I have just discovered that I was tricked by a scammer.
Unfortunately i have discovered your website too late

I just want to warn everybody about a Kawshie Ahiagbedey.

He or She will certainly use different names now, but it is remarkable that she is using pictures from Raven Riley the Porn Star, which I never knew about before.

But thats not all, she is also using webcam videos of the Raven Riley, which are made to good that it is nearly impossible to see that they are fake.

This is really a new dimension of scamming. They manage to build up a nearly perfect illusion.

just beware

Unfortunately, I did lose some money.

I'll get over it though.

In the first mails, she already was on webcam. Which seemed absolutely real.

In the next contacts she said, she cannot show on webcam again, becaus her computer does not have
a webcam and before she was only at her girlfriends place.
So she asked me to send money for a laptop with a webcam, so we can see each other which I did

After that she kept appearing on the webcam and there was no hint that this could be fake.

Later I found out that the used videos of Raven Riley. I still wonder why Raven Riley made videos like that.
The videos seemed to be made only for that purpose, the fool guys like me

I'm sorry you were scammed, Schumi,

Raven Riley is a well known internet porn star, and is one of the most frequently used by scam artists. She is not in any way connected to any of these scams. Scammers are turning increasingly to fake webcam to convince victims that they are real. I believe Raven does actually do perform live on webcam on her site for paid subscribers--her purpose has nothing to do with scamming--it is simply what many internet pornography subscribers want. It is possible the scammer just copied a whole show/session. However, there is a good chance that what you saw was not the original Raven Riley video as published --it is equally likely to be pieces of Raven's videos, manipulated by software to create the fake webcam. With the right software, it is actually very easy to create a fake webcam, and even to appear to perform certain actions on command.

In the end, anyone you haven't met IN PERSON who asks you for money is almost certain to be a scammer, no matter how plausible the story or excuses.
