This online dating scammer has no end.
I met him on Tagged in 2012. I admit I fell for his scam.
To summarize. He said he is from Silver Spring, Maryland, USA.
He claimed to be enroute to Abidjan Ivory Coast where he had inherited a ship from the Mersk company from his dead father. In Abidjan of course he had money issues.
He his bank cards don't work there, he needed to pay inheritance tax, he got knocked over by a taxi, he couldn't pay a hospital fee, he then was detained for not having a yellow fever card.
Yes this the most unfortunate man in the whole history of the world!
He asked for money to be sent by Western Union and MoneyGram.
He sent a copy of a fake American passport. With the passport photo clearly a "cut&paste"

I have done some research on him. He also operates his scam on German dating sites and on Au pair websites. He says he is looking for an au pair to look after his young son since his wife died. He gives the same address of Silver Spring in the USA.

I will post all my research on this sociopath on this post.
I have just started investigating him online and there is a lot about him on scamming.

If you have any information then please post it.
Let's get rid of this pest.

please copy & paste the emails he asked for money in, remove your personal info (name, email address) before posting.

If you have a phone #, or several #'s, please post them as well.

We would recommend that you avoid any further interaction/research of the person that scammed you due to the emotional attachment.

Many scammers use the same scripts and the same stolen identities that are sold from scammer to scammer, so there is no guarantee that they are the same scammer just because they are using the same name/address.

As HillBilly says, post the emails and phone numbers he uses as they are things that victims will often search for.

If you want to get even then it is better to take your revenge on a totally unconnected scammer and make their life hell.
