I think the case is over.. few days ago moose kingston give his last email, containing ALL of his Yahoo password and Facebook... either he was desperate or running away. It seems relentless warning to his new victim and email spam is making him going over the edge and crazy.
The email is destroyed with spam and i dont think his FB is really usefull to find scammer track.
Its bit anticlimatic because they still out there, creating another fake account...
well since moose kingston is over(?) i dont think ill need to continue this investigation, unless they idiot enough to make contact again!
okay lets make summary of this scam.... (based on my observation, maybe different from other victim.)
METHOD :-
This Fake FB need SUPPORTING PROFILE! In this case a
manda mary kingston, Jimmy alex, and macson brother. Together they create 'drama' where mary sometimes write in his 'dad' wall or add her victim as friend and send them massage. This is really convincing that even for me at first glance.
-
They target people that far away from US army base, in this case asian middle age woman. he already try to add five people in this category but FAIL because my mother and other potential victim 'bullied' her profile by warning them! Reason : lack of knowledge of US army operation work...
-
They has a really good storywriting skill, sometimes the story is really touching and i wonder why hollywood doesnt make their story to big screen...
-
They choose US army because it sounds 'powerfull' even when victim try to decline he may threat them with their 'superior intel and many subordinates around the world'.
-
First person to do talk and baiting the victim is world class charmer.. after that the person change to a thug or and idiot... very idiot...
-A soldier using yahoo? come on... they will avoid sending email unless really cornered. (IP tracing is their worst nightmare.)
-Their primary weapon is
'PLEASE DONT TELL ANYONE OR I WILL BE DESTROYED!'-There is a chance the scammer try to c
ollect private detail as much as possible before starting his money grabbing scheme. Thus already bound their victim.
-
Their final weapon is THE VICTIMS EGO, really... They dont need any hack or digital weapon, just say 'i know your secret!' is enough to make them obey. Some people really care about their good names that they will do anything to keep that way, even not reporting scam! (I am still pissed of about this!)
How to deal with scammer:-The classic 'cut contact' always work, but in this case the guy is really airhead and has some tenacity. He will find any loophole to make a contact. Its like obessive stalker that following his crush. Even after 5 days cutting contact he always try to send massage that he is not scammer!
-Playing is better than cut contact, by playing and confusing the scammer i make them fall victim in their own method! You can see by my chat log that their level of intelligence is 'asthounding'! I know people doesnt recommend this, but after playing with them i know they just a BS. Not only i waste their time trying to refute they are not scammer, they also must spent more time to find other victim after few of their friendlist suddenly 'dissapear'
-Contact people that know internet than you. Dont be naive!
-Spamming newsletter does the trick! (spam 100 newsletter and then send massage
'i sent 1000$ cheque confirmation in your email, you got it? It will expire in one hour!')
-Work together with his other victim or your friend that got bored, bullying his FB by warning every victim and spreading his email to major spam website is fun!
-Please just let go your pride... people that too pride with himself is the major victim!
Reason why FB scamming is hardly working :-they must spent time buying new handphone number for everyprofile they create.
-Assuming indeed they succed at scamming, and then what? Keep their fake profile? Its really different from nigerian email. Their profile is still there and to escape mean they must delete ALL of their profile!
-Thus to second problem, assuming they has 3 victim at once, they will lost 2 other victim if they escaping!
-Building relationship in FB is not really easy, one wrong victim they may end up getting busted. spammed, or worse the victim has connection with russian hacker..
-everything can be VIRAL, i am not sure how many people creating status update 'JImmy alex is scammer, or Nigerian scammer on rampage!' at this time. Now they will spent more time to convince they are NOT scammer than finding new victim.
-Once a fake profile indentified, the ring will be collapsing. Moose kingston may claim he is soldier, but after jimmy alex gone and no one can back him up, he will got very hard time... (5 profile already collpasing at once..)
-After thinking about this i really dont care about them... can you imagine if they dealed with 5 person like myself?
well thanx scamwarner for detailed response... i hope this can help other people. This people is ANIMAL, they play with someone kindness and playing it just to satisfy their greed. I wish i can enter my monitor and punch them until they almost died and need 200$ for medicine.
