Romance scam..a sad and painful truth

At the beginning of July, 2013 I joined a dating service - mature singles.com. I got several hits right away but the one that really drew me to it was the "infamous Jack Miller". He goes under2email addresses, [email protected] and endtimelove07. Sadly I believed what he told me. I've always been a trusting person. He even got some money out of me on the promise that he would pay me back. It's quite a long story but suffice it to say that I fell hook, line and sinker.

Found out yesterday thru scamwarners that he's been around for awhile and a known scammer.

I can tell you honestly that "eating crow" doesn't taste very good.

So all you women out there, be careful, he's quite the charmer.

Sorry it was under these circumstances but welcome to Scamwarners.

Don't feel bad this person makes a living out of scamming people it is him who has a problem not you.

Block all contact with him right away and try as best you can to move on without this liar in your life. If you let him back in he will only try and extract more cash from you with a load of empty apologies and protestations of innocence.

Also please be warned that they may try and pull a recovery scam on you where someone else will contact you claiming they can get your money back for a small fee. This, of course, is just another scam to squeeze every remaining penny out of you. Again, please, under any circumstances do not give them any money. You could also receive an Email claiming you are due compensation for your loss, again, for a small fee, and, again, it is a scam. Are you getting the hang of this now? Be weary of everyone on the Internet especially strangers asking you for money.

Hi, just started on this site and I've found the same issue. I joined datingagency.com and found the most wonderful man.. Phil Williams. After checking his wonderful words online I've found that he's also gone by Peter something or other, but here's a sample of his writing:
"I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to. I want us to walk through new houses picking the one that would be just right for us. I want to see you walk around our house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how gorgeous you are. I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute."

I thought, it was a very nice email and made me blush. I wanted to meet him so bad that I've given him my phone number. The man is supposed to be German and had been here for more than 40 years and when he called me he sounded African, perhaps Kenya. Not sure. Anyway, he decided to text me as his phone was from Michigan, yet he was living in McAllen, TX and he never mentioned living in Michigan.

Anyway, he messed with the wrong lady as I'd like to provide his IP address to someone so that I can report him. He has not asked for money yet, but has asked questions that could lead to eventually asking for money. His email address is [email protected].

Does anyone know if there's something we can do about this?

I'm from Costa Rica in Central América. 3 months ago a handsome guy write me , asking a frienship. A few days later began to give all his love! I saw his grammar was very bad. He says is an engineer and I began to looking for extracs of his letters. I found similar letters. He went to Aberdeen, Scotland then one day ask me money, but I said not, He has continued write me and in this moment he is in Nigeria. He name is David Martins from Venizia, Italy, but living in Houston Texas, widow with a daugther, Nelly, 14. His photos in FB belong to Mr. Leslie David Tonks an actor an model of UK.
I said him that I didn't understand why copy letters of other people but he doesn't ansewer nothing. I'm sure he is a scamer, but I don't know how to finish this relation, because I would unmask, to help another women not to fall into the trap. I have not spent more than time and it really was a pleasant exchange, but it is not fair that so many women cheated gullible! [quote][/quote]

To end this "relationship" is easy, just stop replying to his emails in fact stop all contact.

He will get the message and move on.

It would help if you posted his email with headers (remove your details), that way other victims will be able to find his format and name

i wnet through this painful journey. I am a trusting person and believed whatever he said, he is a sweet talker. Claimed to be a General in Sudan. Needed me to help him clear his funds in Malaysia. I never wanted his his his moneybut thinking that he is really in love with me and will be home soon to marry me. i never met him cos he said army cannot use any cam, but i trusted every single word he said. So i help him paid a charges of S$18,000. I am dead broke now and cannot pay anymore of his charges as he insisted on payment fees every mth. The payment never ends and he wanted more and more of my money. So i stopped paying and he left me due to that. He never contact me after that and until now i never hear from him. he just disappeared.
His name is Benson Michael and his email is benson.michael22322yahoo.com
Go to Face Book and type his name and you can see him there. He is in an army uniform . looks handsome also.

I have had a similar online romance experience. He approached me on an online dating site. He introduced himself as Vincent Jenson, 58 years old, and an electrical and building engineer. He directed me off the dating site and onto yahoo mail. We communicated by email, and by phone. He told me he was German, and born in Berlin Germany, both parents were dead, and had been living in New York for 25 years. He also said that he was widowed, and had a son 19 years old. About 7-10 days into our online romance he told me he was in love with me. He sent me some incredibly lovely email, and I fell for it. One day he made reference to a movie that I never heard of so I looked it up on line. What I found was a web site consisting of love letters. At this point I was starting to get suspicious. As time went on I noticed that he continued to take letters from this same site, and a second site I happened upon. After about 3 weeks he told me he was going out of town on business to South Africa. This is where money came into the picture. He wanted me to send him $200.00 for a document he needed and could not access his bank account. What self employed business man would leave the country and not be able to access his accounts. I confronted him about being a scammer and never heard from him again. He also used the same letter that another person on this site posted. It was the same letter posted by " HISPAGIRL" wanting this crazy love to end was how it started, and read word for word as written by HISPAGIRL . Ladies beware they can be very persuasive. I never sent any money, but was fooled by the pretty words. A week later I was approached by another of these scammers on another site. They are everywhere.

I forgot to post that Vincent Jenson can be found on Facebook. He also had a very thick accent when we spoke and it didn't sound German. He would say " hello my baby, so good to hear your sexy voice".If any of this sounds familial stay away because he is a scammer.

Welcome to Scamwarners Fightback79,

He was never out of town. The scammer has been in South Africa the whole time. African scammers like to tell their victims they are from another country hoping the victim does not recognize the African accent. What you heard was a South African dialect/accent. Keep in mind everything he told you was a lie. Except the fact that he is/will be in South Africa. He told you this because this is where he would want you to send your money.

Please post his emails address here so we can help other women avoid his scams.

Thank you Fightback79, the scammers emails address ( [email protected] ) will help others.
