Being Scammed?

Hello Confused,

What do u think of tis case?

A scam like all the other ones, since when do patients have to look for their bone marrow and transport it to the hospital ? Wouldn't that be a normal hospital job? The trade in human parts is under strict regulations in all countries of the world.
I can't get clear about where he claims to be, not in London where his son is? Poor kid.
His kid, Hitch is apparently in St Mary's Children Hospital London, but under a strange name then Right, that's his second mishap. And his info says he is from the United States ?
It will be hard for you to believe that this is a criminal, I know, I was scammed too some time ago and although my friends told me so, I had trouble to believe it. Once you accept that the person you talk to is real, it's hard to change that idea in your head and you think all the time, but what if.... No, it isn't true what he tells you, he is good, but he makes mistakes in his story that should explain for them self that he is the crook here and Hitch just an imaginary kid in his head alone. I am trying to contact this person to get confirmation so I can show you that he makes a living conning 20-30 people at the same time with this sad story. Too bad that well willing and helpful people like us get drawn in to it, but when we learn from it before we pay up, it's just frustrating and that's all.
Please keep us posted while we dig for more evidence on this conman.

Hang in there and don't sent him any money

Hi confused,
to repeat what everyone else says this is a scam. There is no child in hospital, just a scammer, probably in Nigeria sitting behind a computer in a cyber cafe. The best thing you can do is cut all contact completely. Delete his emails, ignore his phone calls, just stop responding totally. He'll give up and move on.

OK guys, thank you very much for your support and counsel.

I am taking time to absorb the shock tat a lie can be so well fabricated...
And it happens to me... when all I wanted to do was to help...

Thanks.

Confused:

I understand how hard this is for you. Please do contact me via PM if you would like further support. Yes, these scams can be intricate in their execution and many generous and good hearted people are taken advantage of. This is why we're here.

Take care and let me know if you need any further help or advice.

^^ It happens to the nicest people.. that's what these people depend on.
Whatever you do, please don't beat yourself up about it. Some of our warners and support team here were once victims themselves.

It's a shock right now, we understand that. We're always here if you need to ask about anything, or even if you just need to blow off some steam.

Just adding,

Confused sent me this, hope it helps

For the singapore expats website,
the user ID he used to contact me, is not Dannycrane. It is Alexavier1.

Hello Confused,
I hope we're doing a bit better today?
I had a look at the "prince on the white horse" and those pictures are clearly cut&paste from other pictures to prevent questions like who is that woman in the picture with you. I wouldn't put those online if I needed to impress a woman with my looks. He looks too good for the crummy pictures he shows there. You picked a nice one and that's what they count on unfortunately.
I'll have my "girl" have a go at him and see if he bites the bait. I hope that he has stopped harassing you for now and hope you don't miss him at all. I know give it a few weeks and you can laugh about it, it wears off, no worries.

Bill

Thanks BILL and Ralph,

yes, for past 4 days, he has stopped sending me any messages cos I been ignoring his messages.

For same length of time, he also stopped visiting tat website. maybe he changed to another name?

And when I am on messenger, usually I will only see his name "logged in" then disappear.

Maybe he has a new target right now

I am coping well. Trying to cover up the dent this incident made on the finance. But Thank God... some
lessons in life are simply most costly than the others... and I learnt not to condemn myself over it.

Cheers

@ Confused,
That sounds pretty good to me Lady, you're recovering, that's for sure.
I noticed that he had been quiet on the date site, but we're not giving up yet. If... I'll report it here and if not, at least one of his victims got away.
They will have to have several victims at the same time in order to make a living of it and that's what bothers me most, he'll do the same soap story again and another poor soul will get scammed and nothing I can do about it.

Question for Ralph, would it be advisable to report this worm at the date website as a scammer?

Bill,

I tried to write to the website to report my case.. but no reply from them at all.

Thank you Confused,
I know as I was helping out a date site once and they get more complaints than customers, if the owner cares you have a slight chance that they will try to block his IP# (internet address of the computer he is using) but if he changes computer he is in again. It's like ants, you stop them here and they crawl in somewhere else. Deleting his profile just means he has to setup a new one, use the same pictures or get new ones and he is in business. He is lost for us then as we have to find him back, so I'm answering my own question to Ralph here
I'll let it be and see if he likes one of my girls on the site to play with
It is all a nasty world of make believe and fake characters online, there are some real people there too though.
Hey Confused, I married a woman that I found/met online Took me two years to be sure about it though, once burned you get careful, but it is possible. 9 years already!
If you meet the next gentleman and would like to be a bit more sure if.... I am sure that anyone here of the staff is willing to investigate if the person is actually a person for you, no questions asked and if you pm them it will be out of the publicity too as he might be doing the same
Although still worried about the other victims out there, I'm very happy that you seem to digest this bad dream fast and pick up the normal day routine again, you'll smile about it within a few months, poorer but wiser and stronger for the future.
CU around then eh
Bill

Good for you, Bill!

Tat guy onlined his msn id again. He tried to talk a little. This time I am ready to confront the mask he is wearing.

At first he said his hotel no light n he stood in darkness hating himself and the mistakes he made... I CALCULATED THE TIME... IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 5PM in nigeria... so I said "It should be late afternoon there... so there should be brightness still..." then he paused n said "yes, still some light... but getting darker"

He said his son has got the surgery and he spoke to his son tat once he feels better, he has to go to the lawyer to get him to the bank to "sue" them for letting him to die in Nigeria, and to send the money to him as soon as possible. When I heard it, I was frowning and thinking it was simply ridiculous. How can tis be done?

I asked him how he is ggoing to get ths son discharge in the first place, he said a nurse he knows.. will try to help h im do tat.

I told him if he needs help, I have a friend in UK who may know some lawyers or law enforcement officers and they may be able to help his son!!! and he paused for a long moment... then he said its ok, he will try his best first then let me know when he needs help.

I find it so funny. If a person is truly so desperate, he would take my offer.

Then I remember Ralph found me a profile saying he was in Miami. so I asked him where in US he said he once lived. He said "Miami".

Then I asked him how was Miami. He said it was so beautiful n almost like PARIS!!!!

I almost fell off my chair.

I asked him how is Miami like Paris when one is shiny n warm... and one is more cool n temperate...
They are so different.

Well then... he went offline!!!

I begin to like this, Bill and Ralph... to see things differently... more shrewdly.

Nice, very nice, but only one advantage on his side, he has your real life info and can find you if he really gets angry. Him or one of his friends, that's why we like to tell the victim (that's you dear) that they should stop all communications with their lad/"friend" to prevent a meeting with questionable results. It's though, but you can't get back at him this way. He might do something stupid out of anger or frustration (and that's exactly what you are trying to do to him ) No we must be tough on you, better stop everything and if... start over on the other side as a baiter of love lads as we call them. Lady's like Titania and Ivana ( both you know what, I think )will teach you how you can play with them without risking anything, keeping control of the situation and make them cry for their mother.
I'm afraid you will like it, it doesn't always bring out the best in a girl, but it's always fun
Can we count on your wisdom in this matter? please?
The best part? one day you recognize the style of the scam letter you're reading and you are sure it's YOUR lad, then the fun really starts

I'll look out for you on the other side http://forum.419eater.com/forum/index.php still Bill but I dropped a digit

Hi confused

You seem to be doing just fine now, I am glad you have seen him for the criminal he is, as Bill has suggested, 419eater can teach you how to play with them safely, I know you have joined there already, I replied in your original post there

If you read the romance baiting sticky it will give you a lot of good advice on how to play safely and how to maximise your efforts to slow them down.

Many of our visitors go on to become great baiters then return to make a difference from the victim support angle, personally, I think you will do very well there and your second (first ) language will also be very handy.

Well done on turning the tables

We might have upset him a bit

But patience doesn't cost a thing and if.... the people there are maybe a tad safer.

EDIT:
He's back and send me a wink back, now I got to figure out how to contact him without paying my way in, we'll see how that works.
