It did no good to alert the Dating Personals, as they told me that they could not do anything.  It is up to the individual person to recognize scammers.

I realized what the guy was doing and pulled him in as much as possible to get as much information as possible.  Of course, once he realized what I was doing he sure didn't love me anymore.  Probably no less, either.

I have had him scam me twice, under different names and different pictures.  He wasn't smart enough to realize that he had already asked me to bail him and his son out of Africa the first time, but he needed to get Materials back to the states from Nigeria and his Hotel burnt down and he lost all of his information on his computer that was lost in the fire, the second time.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize what was coming after that one.  He needed a computer to contact his customers.  He had to resort to using his cell phone and to text  message  me, but I was worth it.  Some of the messages (LOVE) were so long that he must have worn his fingertips down to the first knuckle to send it and I caught him online on one of the Dating Sites and he had to squirm a bit to get out of that one.  I asked him where in Nigeria the fire was, as I had looked on the web and could find nothing.  He always managed to skate around that one too. Even a couple of months after, he was still on my IM list, I contacted him and asked him if he had ever gotten back to the states, and without even remembering who I was, after a couple of sentences he had the gall to ask if I were still going to help him...

He is always alone and has no one.  No friends and even the American Embassy refused to help him.  I eventually asked him if he had any lady friends there that could help him as he seemed to really have a way with them.  That one went over his head, purposely I am sure.

The guy needs to be caught.  It is unsettling to me that his scamming works on some of the women.  And, I am sure that most women are in their late forties to who knows, maybe 70's, when they seem most vunerable to having a younger man show interest in them and to take away the lonliness that they feel.  The man is a PREDATOR.

I can only hope that by bringing this to air, that someone will recognize who this person is and turn him in to the FBI.  Get him off the streets, off the computer and put him behind bars.

I have pictures and names of the two (same) that scammed me.  I feel that you will probably take this part out of the message and that is fine with me..but it might help if others have done the same to bring him to justice....

The names he gave me were Michael Jones and Paul Fredrick.  And, both of his pictures have appeared in various Dating Sites.  His last being Match.com.

Thank you for exposing this type of individual that creates havoc and chasos in women's lives that only want to meet a decent man.
