Just had the first scam expierence of my life and when this all fell apart, I was saddened to know that the guy that, I thought I had been chatting with his photos were being used to lure women like me from dating websites. My guy went by Aaronhonest and he found me on Match.com and I reported that today to Match. He said he was Aaron Wilson Edwards 55 from Port Jefferson NY, currently in Iraq and will be coming home soon and retiring from the Army. I did find Ralph Edwards on My Space and sure enough their was his photo and all his other photo albums from Iraq back in 2009. I don't know if Ralph is aware of this, but if I ever do get to connect with him, Im hoping I can share this information with him. I have so many of his photos. Too make a long story short, I have been communicating with Aaron honest for a while now and I made the mistake of sending a lap top, camera and some underclothing, man do I feel stupid. But inspite of all that, things jus were not jiving so I decided to play along to see how far this would go and sure enough, he hired a diplomat that was supposed to deliver me a suitcase with 5 million dollars, even had a photo of the money in the suitcase. He had rescued some oil tycoon's son from the Talibans and as a gift he was awarded the monies, jewelery and gold. Ya right, I thought to myself. Well my mistake was the package got sent to a Sebastian Ananse and when all this started with the money and hiring of a diplomat to personally deliver this suitcase, the diplomat by Ali contacted me on yahoo and was stuck in customs with the bag in Gahana and needed 750 to continue his travels. By than I was pissed cause, I realized I was talking to some jerk from hell, Ali wanted me to Western Union the money and to my surprise it was to Sebastian once again. LOL. :laugh-s: Well my Honey was pissed at me cause the poor diplomat was stuck in customs and he was fearing losing the gifted money to him, Told him I got detained and that, I was trying to come up with the funds. This guy called me Honey from the word Hello. So just the day before yesterday, I couldn't take it and I demanded what his company name was, where he was at in Iraq and his military address and his military ID. The jerk did send me a photo of the military ID. but would not answer my questions, once he realized I was not sending the money, he got ugly and even called me stupid and told me he did not need me, but he would paddle his own canoe. HAHA. At the end I told him, I knew I was scammed and that their is a God even in their country and that, he better not ever contact me again, told him I was gonna report this to whoever I had too, so big lesson learned her, yes it is an ouch, but inspite of losing out on the items, I purchased and sent to the jerk told him to enjoy it all. I felt bad for the real Ralph Edwards that his name and photos are being used by these jerks from hell. so I feel that we are victims of this crimes. I will definately never ever do this agian, send anyone anything. This guy even sent me before pictures of Aaron and his friend and than an after picture of his friends face blown off, I was always in tears when we spoke. The love letters, the spelling, the grammer, the I dont have family back home, all of it was there. Time to dust off my hurt pride and move forward. My attitude is God see's my pure heart and right intentions in the person that, I am and on my end Im good, and he sees that goodness, Cant control how people will use us and hurt us, they will answer to God someday. Hope the real Ralph Edwards is aware of this, and I jus hate he is being exposed to so many women. He is married and has a family and this is so wrong on so many levels. Hope my expierence will help someone else, Sincerely Sandy

Good thing you recognized the scam. Dont beat yourself up to much as thousands of people fall for these romance scams. I would definately suggest that you drop all contact with this scammer immediately as they are criminals and they have your real life details. Andy

Edit: Also if you want to get back at the scammer and get a little internet vigilantism try http://www.419eater.com .Please before you try to scambait you read all the stickies and bait safe without your real life details.

Andy, Thank you for your response. All contact has stopped and I reported it to Match.com and blocked him from my yahoo. It is very scary cause they have some of my pictures and my family as well. Since, I reveled to him that I knew he was not real and being scammed he only responded back and said, WHATEVER!!!!...Told him, not to ever contact me again cause I was going to report this to whoever I could. Since than their has been no contact. I dont know if I have the time and energy to git back, somethings to just have to surrender to God and let him take care of things. Still need to report this whever I can...Thann You Kamelahi
