posing as Waheed Maher using pictures of Stephen Murphy

Last week I was contacted by a Waheed Maher via FB. Multiple red flags went up and when I ran the picture trough google images, boy oh boy!!! Poor mr. Murphy...

FB page; Waheedmaher Abdelhey Assia and a nickname Cameron Max Alex
Skype: vnvn123, pictured is mr Murphey and the name Waheed Maher
Mailadress: [email protected]
Mailadress daughter(!): [email protected]

Huge red flag was also that I received a mail form his 15 year old daughter, with pictures of a girl that is also used multiple times by scammers.

English language skills are really bad! both written and verbal.

I think he found me through posts an reactions on the FB page Woman Who Live On Rocks, because he has this page in his likes. I am not on any dating site.

His story; a US marine chief engineer going to retire next month and wants to live on my Island, can I show him around? His dad is from Kuwait, mom from USA he is born and raised in Jacksonville FL. Then it starts with his wife died in a car crash 3 years ago, two kids on boarding school in Brazil. I skyped with him 2 times and was done with it. He is pretty stupid, stories do not add up, lets keep it this way!

Please post the email; others may be searching for text in it. Also post the form, if you can copy and paste text from it.

Ok, his first mail:

Dear God gift,

I know I can't give you the whole world, but I can promise you I will always love you. My heart is yours, and even though I know I’ll make mistakes, I will never break your heart. I’ll be right beside you as we chase our dreams together, and you will never have to wonder if I still care. I think about you all day long and when I'm not near you my mind is consumed with thoughts of being close to you. When you’re here chatting with me I feel like everything in the world is right, and I know I don't have to ask God for anything because as long I have you in my life I have everything I could ever want. All I want to do is spend the rest of my life making you as happy as you have made me.


Love
Waheed
