Thanks Damefortuna. Could you add phone number and any email address you have been given. It will get used again so we can try to warn others by putting it here.

I have had many of the same e-mails but from an Alvin Fernandez supposed to be living in the USA. I also have photo's here are some of the e-mails.

I must say your contact was a wonderful one . I like your profile and I think you are very sweet just from the little i read about you and the little you had to say about yourself..Well to start..Am i optimistic or pessimistic about myself?? I am optimistic. I view life's challenges as opportunity to develop strength, greater self-awareness and an improved sense of appreciation for what I do have..I love people and I truly believe everyone has the ability to self-actualize and love others. It must begin with love of self and understanding. Once this foundation is built, any individual can work toward a balance in life and learn to appreciate the process of living.I am a one lady man and my purpose on the dating site is to find that special part that would make me happy for the rest of my life,I am truly seeking love and i know this leap of faith the both of us is taking to communicate personally would definitely be worth it as i think we share the same interest,I would take a break on the site and would love you to do so if possible to make us focused so we don't mix things.i have an Italian Accent , i don't know if that would be a problem for you?My mum was from Australian while my Father was an Italian.Am the only child of my parents. I was living in australia Victoria Melbourne before migrating to Las Vagas 6month ago due to my late parents properties and am willing to relocate to any part of UK where i find my true Love to settle down with one special woman .
You really sound as though you thoroughly enjoy living and share some of the same appreciations I do. I also note you are gorgeous..lol I would love to continue this process with you and see where this leads us, knowing you are interested in been my friend and see what happens next....I live in Las Vegas US ,i have also traveled to so many countries due to my business (i am self employed who deals with Buying and selling of textile fabrics materials across the world.I have traveled to USA, Brazil,Europe, London,Paris,Argentina,Italy,Tunisia,Morocco,South Africa, It has been me and Maria for a while now and it has been quite lonely.
There will be many people who will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave footprints behind.To find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him/her is a blessing.A friend is someone who can see the truth and the pain in you even when you are fooling everyone else.One of the best feelings in the world is to touch and warm someone's heart, whether it be your love or just a friend, almost nothing can feel better.Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget....I must wait now until i get a response from you before more details comes in.lol.Note: distance is not a barrier to a true relationship , because i could relocate to anywhere just to find the woman i love and spend the rest of my life with her .Hope to hear from you soon.
Are you also a new member on(MD?because am new on this site,and am willing to focus with you alone to know more about you .


Alvin Fernandez

I was always dubious as everything did not add up however I was relishing the attention He never got round to asking for money and to be honest I find it funny anyone asking me for money as I struggle at the end of every month to put food om my own table for my own children never mind give it away to a complete stranger. They would have had better luck getting blood from a stone.

This is the same man who is has been emailing my mum... he uses the EXACT words in all his emails!!!!
PLEASE BE WARNED!!! He now goes by the name of ROBERT PALMER.. he contacted my mum on match.com and asked her to email him.. his email address is.. Robert Palmer [email protected]
He told my mum that he is from Ashtown in Ireland..
He still talks about his friends... Nelson, Bishop and nelsons wife Debbie..
He also says he works in an oil rig in Dubai..dealing with construction.. He says he has a daughter who is 16
and an 80 year old mother.
He is very poetic (obviously all copied and pasted from his other scam emails!)
We became suspicious when he started asking about picking him up at the airport..and other things you start to notice in his emails..

Please be warned.. He is not who he says he is!!!! He is a scamming bastard!!!!

You're saying Robert Palmer says the exact same words as Alvin Fernandez? Alvin obviously doesn't have an Italian accent - he has a Yoruba or Igbo accent, and if you get him off script, you'll see it.

No if you look at the post I'm responding to.. its in regards to Sveren, The emails that he sent are the same words he used as Robert Palmer... Although there are still similarities in the emails from the others characters too but obviously he has changed around some details such as where he lives and his family info.
Either way this guy is a complete idiot and needs to be caught before he tricks another victim into falling for him.

Scammers use scripts. Scripts they steal from other scammers, scripts they are given by someone in the group/gang of scammers they belong to.

Scammers often have several names and email accounts they work at the same time. They do not just sit and pretend to be one character. The more scams they have running, the more chance they have of being successful.

The photos you have received are not of the actual scammer. Scammers steal photos to help make their lies more believable and desirable to the victim.

Scammers are not actually idiots, they are intelligent. They have figured out how to make thousands of dollars per week by sitting in front of a computer and pretend to be someone who they are not.

As far as getting a scammer "caught", there is little hope of doing that. They are pretending to be someone they are not. They use information which is not at all related to them. They live in countries which have lax law enforcement which can often be bribed.

Thank you for contributing to our site and information about scammers.

This guy is also going by the name of Alexandre Martin...working in Dubai....Really, the same script as posted previously. His email is [email protected]. Thank you for this site so that I could discover what a fraud he is. Thank you.

From his email:\
Good morning my love,

How are you doing this morning? I got to work this morning even though late, but then, I have four locals down with serious injuries and one gone. This is the most painful thing I have come across. Now the machine they were rushing to fix before my arrival, did swing into the best place after rolling down on them before time, so they were catalyst to its best position, but they did pay a hard price for this. I hate accidents on site, sometimes it makes you feel like not having to use local labours, because they sometimes make these mistakes that doesn't make sense. I feel bad enough to feel responsible for them. The four have been taken to general hospital now, I just pray for the best for them, I pity the family of the deceased. They spoiled my mood this morning because they should have waited for me before making such vital installations. These are even men who lack basic insurance for that matter, risking there lives and now I feel responsible for what has happened to them. Maybe I should have been on the site early enough.


Can't write much at this time honey, would try later. Just know that you mean alot to me ok? and I really appreciate you dear.


The joy I feel in recent days is my best.

Your Man,
Alexandre.


He origionally sent me a photo with Wendi (his daughter) and him at a NY Mets game

Hello beautiful,how are you doing today,hope you had a lovely night rest filled with beautiful dream of us cos i sure did babe.Hope the boys are doing great also?It has been a really stressful morning for me,i was up very early to catch a chopper to Tabor city in scotland where i met with the administrators,directors and the UN award committee executives and officials,it was pretty much a round table thing and was quite exclusive though brief,seem your man may be up for some award or something nice cos i could smell their trying to access me with words and all..Anyway i was also given the last phase of our upfront payment and i could see the huge smiles on the faces of my employees when i returned but unfortunately all the funds has to go right back into this project so we can ensure a solidify catalyst installation and get full balance after submission and inspection of work done..So before i set out for my row call and work for the day,i thought i first say hi to my beloved and most wonderful woman.. How was your night baby and how is the day looking like for you?If ever you think of me out of the blue, just remember it's all the kisses I've blown in the air finally catching up with you! In my thoughts of you there is an underlying love that is present in every word and every glimpse, I hope you feel it as I do, for it is what I am and ever will be.LOL! But Hey! seriously, i must admit without second thoughts, Being in love is what makes working all week bearable. It makes cruising with your windows rolled down feel like you're riding in a convertible. It makes you dance to the rhythm of the sound of the machines we use here and makes Friday night really feels like THE WEEKEND."LOL!Its back to work again baby and hopefully we can get the catalyst installed successfully soon by the grace of God...I am quite late for work right now cos of my morning trip to Tabor city but that was for the best of what we have going on and i will also be meeting with Nelson tonight concering the installation process and perhaps if we would need more locals to aid the work faster, so we can finalize everything soon but i still don't want to go because i wanted to write you something nice and long enough to read, but then, i know i will carry you on my mind all day like i always do.So baby pls know that i cherish you so much that you have made me realize that happiness is not found at the end of the road, it is experienced along the way. So take not for granted each moment of your life or what we share and you will find a reason to be happy each day.You are my shinning star baby and I know you will never fade.I Love you so much and You're my light to help me read my map of happiness!Take good care of yourself for me while you have a wonderful day..Pls dear don't over work yourself for me ok,talk to you soon baby!
