According to a statement released Monday afternoon, the office received a call in reference to a possible telephone scam, but didn't say when the office received the call. The alleged victim, according to the statement, was picked from a dating website, and contacted by an interested female. That purported female pretends to be interested, and sent the alleged victim explicit photos of herself. The purported female also solicited similar photos from the alleged victim, but only after convincing him to give out his phone number.
After the alleged victim gave out his number photos, the man received a call from a man who identified himself as a law enforcement officer from the same region or area as the alleged victim. The man, according to the statement, told the alleged victim that he was chatting with an underage girl, and is now in possession of inappropriate images of a minor. Wanting to go back to the same business. We have been talking for a year now. I have not lost a lot of money I fear nothing because I have had such a cursed life. And I am tired of the fight. However I do fear for my family. At times I feel he could be dangerous.
Or if anything he could make me so paranoid that I lose my mind. I was reading the stories above and thought, such smart women. I am such an idiot! Exactly told the same story. Thanking God, that I caught on when asked to send money with money services for gift iPhone for daughters birthday. Supposedly father from Texas and mother from India. As with you, warning signs such as poor English, texts had many errors for "such a well educated man. While in the throws of the "relationship" l fell for calling him on the phone.
That song "I've got that loving feeling" described how I felt all the time it was like a drug. I think I was hooked by my need to love as well as feeling loved. Now that it's done, I am working on loving myself and my lord Jesus. I reported him to Instagram and got rid of all messages. At one point he asked to not tell family until they could meet him. So last November I had an instant message through instagram. After having my original instagram account hacked and pretty much stolen from me, I have become more weary. The story was she is in was in Syria serving the final leg of her tour and we chatted on and off for a while.
She never asked for anything and would message me on and off for a few months.

She then asked me to add her on WhatsApp which I did then she said when she leaves the military she wanted to do Humanitarian work. A few weeks before she mentioned how she was struggling because she had been sending her money over to a Swiss account which I thought was just a tax fiddle. Then she came on flustered static that her friends who were sorting out her money had let her down.
You this time I knew this was a scam but if they are messaging me they are leaving someone else alone.

I said they only have two weeks left of service just sort it out when you get home and stop sounding like my Nigerian Millionaire Uncle who needs to move money out. I knew this was coming to a crunch, so they said they needed to fly straight off when they get home. I then mentioned that to get to an area of humanitarian aid she would need to join a charity because these countries won't just let you in without all the correct visa in place, also with a link of how to spot a scam.
I was blocked by them on WhatsApp. So the next morning I messaged them on Instagram telling her if she really wanted to help to set up a charity to help returning vets with a step by step guide and about crowd funding to get them started and help in anyway I can whilst they get started, because the way they are going they will end up getting years for fraud.
There reply was that they have been doing this for 10 years. My returun was that they weren't very good and in turn sent a block and spam on instagram, and WhatsApp.
I hope this story will let you know that these people will have lots of others on the go, check how recent their accounts are made and I watched themy add to their account more people in a couple of days. My friend has been talking to a Frank Lashen who is calling her his wife and needs help to get out of Togo.
He says he is eating much and needs to pay hotel bill so he can leave and come home to her. Has anyone else talked to a Frank Lashen? He is an African scammer. Claims he is a U. I am currently talking to him now. He goes by Harris Cattely. He sends me pic of some man in a military uniform. I am guessing he person he is using to catfish others has no idea his identity is being used in a bad way.
He is a scammer. Claims he is on a ship on the Gulf of Mexico. He is a nigerian scammer. Stated his Wife and Son got killed in a car accident about 6 years. My friend is communicating with a guy from usa, owns construction company, and is on a job in cyprus. Now can't get paid for job because of some paper missing. His mom emails my friend. This guy sends her love songs and even a video of himself singing in shower.

Using Tinder? Beware of These Scams
You add them they talk to you after a while they ask for ITunes card an money to help them. Sometimes you let them know that you can't help them they get angry I have several of them asking for help. They say they love you then use you. If they love you then they wouldn't hurt you. They want you to support their kids. These scammers give real military men and women looking for love a bad reputation. They also get angry when you can't help them.
I have met many scammers on line and now can pretty much spot them within minutes. But don't think you would be stupid, very intelligent people who are vulnerable after divorce, death etc fall for it. I have now gotten all but one to admit they are from Africa. I don't think it is right at all what they are doing, but I have learned that there are many many healthy young men in Africa who are jobless and really are on the street trying to survive. That is not an excuse but I do feel for some. I gave money once about 4 years ago, after a divorce, married 37 years and not since, big mistake, because it will never be enough!
They will always need more..
