Kelly arvila nilson

Hi im just new in this site but unfortunately i have been already a victim before i discover this site.. I' m so down now since i had given out a lot of money and being fooled. What is the painful part is being fooled and u feel u are dumb enough to believe and invest your emotion. I saw some pics here that he was using the same and use the name kelly arvila nilson- claim to be a british spanish who work as an engineer of zain london and his job is installing cell site in any part of the world and now he is in abuja, nigeria for his job assignment..his alibis are so similar to every victim that i have read and unfortunately i buy his alibis. I meet him in facebook and now he is deleting his account now.. I send money thru wu using the name: samson osawe with his phone number 002348032458212. I know the damage has been done but at least i ould save some who might be his future victim... Thanks for taking time to read.. Joan

Welcome, Joan. I'm very sorry to hear that you've been a victim to a romance scammer. Yes, their stories and ploys do often follow a pattern and I'm glad that you've recognized it. Let us know if you have any questions.
Please don't beat yourself up. I know it's natural to feel badly about yourself but please remember that you were the victim of a crime, you didn't do anything wrong. Some scammers are very good at what they do, they're professional con men. Trust is a good quality and it's unfortunate that scammers exploit it.

Thank you for posting your story to alert others. If you have any of the very first emails from him, please do post them (remove any of your own info) so that the information will show up in searches for others. I'm glad that you want to help spread the word.

Hi. ... unfortunately we dont have contacts through emails. We just communicate through calling, texting and chatting at yahooo..thanks for the advice then

Hi good day! I' m just wondering if its possible to trace the person who withdrawed the money in WU since i still have all the reciepts. I didnt hope to retrieve my money but at least he would be caught. As far as i know in Nigeria WU does not allow u to claim the money if u dont have a bank account in Nigeria. maybe WU can look after this since transactions are made usually by them. Thanks

Joan,

Western Union doesn't verify bank accounts. If you have the correct information, you can claim the money at WU. I will check and make sure that I am correct. You can also check the regulations at the WU website. If it were that easy, hundreds of scammers would be in jail.

It would be great if we could have WU identify the person who picks up the money. The thing is the scammer would just pay someone to do it for them so they don't get identified.

Thank you for your suggestion and please keep thinking creativly.

Please also be aware that scammers often go after you again with a "recovery" scam in which they say they can get your money back. This too is a scam and they will ask for more money upfront to "recover" you lost funds.


I am sorry you got scammed. Sadly, you have no way of identifying the person you were talking to. Any pictures sent to you were most likely from some place other than their actual life. The name used isn't their real name.

Hi bubbles.. Thanks for responding... Here in norway WU they ask me if the person im sending in nigeria has a bank account before they allow me to send.. But i really dont know how WU nigeria works...

hi..i just saw him this kelly arvila nilson at HUMAN PETS 40 mims ago he has logg in...same profile pic and everything he wrote there...but location is not birmingham but still in london...please if somebody can check,,thanks

Joan,

Thank you for the information. I am glad that Western Union in some places is asking questions the help people think about who they are sending funds to.

As to this scammer being currently active on a particular website, there is not much we can do about that. We don't like to get email addresses or profiles closed because scammers just open another one under a new name. When we have names, email addresses and profiles, we have them available for people ho are searching for that name, email address or profile.

I am not familiar with HUMAN PETS. I did look at the profile and the picture looks like it is from a professional male model, which is one of the tricks scammers use. Did the scammer contact you from the Human Pets site?

I hope you have stopped communicating with him.

No he didnt contact me.. I just search and search for him and found him there... I got contact one of his prospect and told her about the story and its exactly same as hers, until mow they still have contact but i warned her.

I understand and thank you for explaining. I am glad you warned the prospect you saw involved with him. That is the important work we do here as ScamWarners. I hope she listened to you.

Yea she listen to me and now we contact each other...

Hi Joan,

I am sorry to hear about your experience, but I need your help to identify this guy as my sister is having the same situation, a guy name 'Kelly Arvila Nilsen' who also claimed himself a british spanish business man, divorced with a daughter, worked at AVJ CONGLOMERATES and studied at university of rotherdam. My sister knew him on facebook couple weeks before, he said to my sister that he wanted to marry my sister and have baby, saying will give her money to start business. He told my sister that he will come to Hong Kong to meet her in a hotel. I was suspicious and tried searching the internet for his name and I was shock when I found your story. Can you identify this guy for my sister so that I can warn her not promise anything to him. I got his profile picture from his facebook profile but I don't know how to show you the picture, if you don't mind, can I send the picture to you by email?

Thank you

dxtang

I tried to post his facebook profile link here... hope it works
