HERE IS HIS DETAILS AND ADDRESS HE SCAMMED ME OF 27,000 DOLLARS I PAID IT TO THIS ACCOUNT

Hi, in all probability, the name you have posted is not the scammer, as you claim to have his drivers licence and address, what has happened is the actual scammer is in Nigeria, and has obtained this persons details, by the same type of scam.

Could you please post any emails you have still got from the scammer, and if possible the headers for them

I will be asking Admin to remove the name you have posted till we can verify the details.

Thank you

John Delaney

Welcome to scamwarners!

I have combined your posts and moved them into this forum, because the scam you are describing is what is known as an advance fee scam.

As John already said, it is important to understand that these scammers do not use their real names and information--but they may use information stolen from a real person.

Often these scammers send the exact same letters many times, so posting some of his emails will be very helpful to prevent others from being scammed. You can simply copy and paste, but remove your own name and information.
