Steve Henshaw scammer from germany

Hi...

I wanted to report a german man, who has stolen USD 600 from me.
First, he was sooooo romantic, then he said he wanted to meet me in indonesia.
after 3 months, he said he had come to indonesia, saying he was arrested by indonesian custom officers because he brought too much baggage...
he said from the phone that the custom officers asked USD 2500 from him, and he even convinced me by having an indonesian woman talk to me. because i loved him so much, i said i just could help him around USD 600.
I am a student, and i had to borrow the money from many people. i was a naive girl (never ever before, i experienced the scam, since all the european men i've met before was so sweet to me).
After I sent the money, the woman (who was a fake custom officer) said he asked for help from German consulate in Bali, Indonesia to take care of the rest of the money... and he said he would take flight to my town.. but after 3 days, there was no news from him, and he sent me sms which saying that the embassy sent him back to germany.
he said he didn't forget me and will return the money and blah blah blah... but until now i've lost USD 600 and i'm still trying to pay my debts.

The purpose i write about him is, to make people aware of him... i don't want other people to be the victim of fraud by him anymore...
His methods are by asking local citizens to talk to you, convincing you that he's there for you...
His name is Steve Henshaw.
He said he was working in Royal Line Cargo as an engineer (maybe fake?).
Then, after convincing the victim, he will ask you to send money to the local citizens and he probably would share the money with him / her.

the bank account of the person i sent the money is:
name: Rafi Aditya
Bank: Bank Mandiri, Indonesia
account number: 117-000-600-4956

as with the scammer,
his e-mail address is: [email protected] , [email protected]

I can't chat anymore. I had to give up my smartphone too coz i
couldn't pay my debts.. Well, if u still remember, it was your debts,
actually.
I know i'm stupid and naive, but next time, if u want to rob someone,
plz rob someone who already got steady job, not a student like me.

One more thing: u never show me that u love me (by returning the 500).
U just see me as a potential target for stealing my money.
Do u think i can't differ the "block" and the "deleted account" ?????
I may be stupid because i'm in love, but thanks God, i finally figured
out what kind of guy u are.

Now plz stop calling me honey, darling, or whatever it is. We are no
longer lovers (u just love my money). We r finished since u cancelled
ur trip to medan. Do u understand that???

since then, he never message me anymore

Welcome to ScamWarners pricelessfrancie. I am sorry you were scammed by the scammer. Often the scammer is not the person in the photo. That is why we ask that you watermark or deface the photo with "Used by scammer". You can do that easily on scamwarners.com

I hope you have stopped all contact with this person. All they really want is your money. They will not come to see you, they will not marry you. They will just leave you a much more poor person.
