Well Jason Edward is alive and kicking AND BUSY. Jason contacted me on match.com on March 1,2013 I should of known when I looked for his Bio and it was gone already. Of course Jason said he had been on there for 6 months an no luck until he seen me (gay Man). Same old routine as before, uses scripted letters just changes names and goes from women to man etc.

I was stupid and fell for the entire scam. I don't really need to tell the whole story but, I was 1st asked to send him money $2,000.00 to Florida to help get a shipment of tiles off the boat from Miami, he claimed he was and interior designer. I sent the money on march 20th or 21st 2013. He then went to England where his Father supposed died last year and needed to finalize the estate and his fater died while on the job in England. He then said he wanted to pay me back for the $2,000.00 he owed me(this was on April 10th 2013).
his client was going to wire me money. I was to take out my share, which was $2220.00 the amount he loaned me and fees associated with the transfers. I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY UNTIL $40,000.00 SHOWED UP IN MY CHECKING ACCOUNT. I was shocked but needless to say I had developed a relationship with him and we were in daily communication and all the crap I was believing him. (he is very very good)
I then transfered $37,780.00 to Lyods Bank in London England. The next day by Bank notified myself and lyods Bank the money was stollen and the wire was being call back. This has all been reported to the FBI, and is still an ongoing investigation.

Look out ladies, Paul McQueen has a new name and new dating site. Now he's on- Plenty of Fish and his new name is Frank Lema; his new email address is [email protected]
He sent me the exact same emails that each of you have posted on this site. After the third email I was leary about the constant use of quotes and the inconsistency in his grammar and spelling; so I googled one of his lines from his email and found this site.
Good luck out there- the world is full of opportunistic men- thank god women are so much smarter!

6/10/13 Now he is Frank Leba and email is [email protected] and found on match.com, same letters , I agree by the 3 or 4th 4mail, grammar, spelling, ect just wrong. I also googled and found lines he had written .. nice while it lasted ... no harm ... no foul

Wish I had known about this site 3 weeks ago....Frank Leba or whoever he is calling himself now contacted me on Match.com on May 24, 2013. Began a correspondence with him. Something was not feeling right and while I continued the back and forth emails, the tone and tenor were deteriorating with each return reply received. I was traveling out of state and did not have the time to do any sleuthing and check him out....But got back to my home computer and this morning decided to to a little prudent checking. And the first hit I got was this site....what has been posted here even from a year ago was verbatim what I had received over the last 3 weeks. This was my first foray into corresponding with someone on an online dating site and I certainly feel a little more than foolish at my age that this has happened. I've read all the articles and watched all the cautionary tales on Dr. Phil...I really thought I knew how to spot a fraud. I guess if and when he asked for money, I would have realized a little more quickly what was happening. Or at least I like to think I would have.
I immediately contacted Match.com and had a very quick response from them and while they are not allowed to tell any details of other members due to privacy, they did tell me that further investigation had already resulted in their taking action...whatever that means because obviously a new user name and new email account are all he needs to continue perpetrating this fraud on others. I would like to know though if the pics he posted of he and his son were hijacked from some poor unsuspecting, decent man?

I copied and pasted parts of the emails from a year ago from "Paul" into a new email and sent it to "Frank" with the subject line "does any of this sound familiar?" Then I proceeded to tell him that I had found it with just a quick Google search and that I had reported him to Match.com. but I did offer him the courtesy of telling me this was some "mistake." And gave him 24 hours to respond and then I would block his email form my account and delete all further communication on his part. Want to bet I'll never get a reply to that one? There are always going to be frauds and scammers out there and I for one won't just go away without letting them know that I am on to them.

Thanks for providing this site...I will certainly be using it in the future.

I'm glad you were able to find out he was a scammer before you got any more involved. The photos these scammers use are stolen from innocent people. The man in the photos does not even know the scammer.

One small point, though...It is best if you do not point out to a scammer that his name, address, or letters are posted on an anti-scam site. When you do that, you are basically educating them, and they will likely change their information and/or scripts to make it harder to detect them the next time. We prefer they keep going with the same information, so they are easier for the next victim to find.
