I talked to him on line the next day and told him
that I knew that everything that he told me was a lie. He denied
everything over and over, telling me that I needed to trust him. I
had a girlfriend Instant Message him out of the blue and start
talking to him. She told him that she was looking for a black man
and she was having a hard time finding one that she liked. He told
her that he was a handsome black man from Lagos Nigeria. She sent me
copies of the conversation and I sent them to him. He did not know
what to do. I kept bugging him about why he told me such lies and
he refused to talk to me. Every so often I pop in on him and let
him know that he will pay for playing those kinds of games. Now
after I have heard the story of this other lady, I have decided that
it is time to report this guy to Yahoo.
The lady on my message group had very much the same thing happen.
Except that he told her that the job had ended and he was trying to
cash the money orders that he was paid with and was having trouble.
He asked her to cash them at her bank. She did and sent him the
money Western Union. He then sent her more money orders and when
she went to cash those they were determined to be fraudulent. The
bank that she cashed them at have now taken all of the funds out of
her account to cover the initial money orders. She still owes them
over $800.00 and though they understand that she was a victim of a
scam, they are still looking to her for restitution.
Someone needs to be telling the ladies of the world that this scam
is happening. I am wondering how many other ladies are being
scammed this way and are too afraid and embarrassed to say
anything. I am going to report this to Yahoo personals and any of
the other dating sites that I use. I think that the word needs to
get out for women to beware. Thanks for listening.
Best Regards,
"Peggy"

Care For Africa Project
Obviously, this may somewhat arouse some kind of surprise
and suspicion considering my means of communication. I
earlier mailed you through the Post Office but it returned
undelivered, so I decided to email you since it is cheaper
and faster.
I am Ron Overs, a Compensation Claim Facilitator in London,
United Kingdom with specialty in Oil and Gas Industry of
Africa. I have sojourned in prominent oil producing areas of
the Caribbean and have been instrumental in facilitating
compensations for indigenous oil communities resulting from
crude oil exploration leading to spillage and pollution.
Compensations were sought in accordance to the Civil
Liability Convention of the International Oil Pollution
Compensation Fund.
Recently, I have been working on a project of mine called
Care for Africa Project (CAP). This, I hope to establish as
a foundation with operational headquarters in your country.
It is aimed to combat the dreaded HIV/Aids in Africa and
fight poverty. The initial capital needed for its
establishment is expected from a gratification for my
facilitating effort to the oil producing communities. This
fund I wish to invest into Real Estate/Property Development
in your country with its returns for financing the
operations of CAP.
The Compensated Community has mandated me, being their
Claim Facilitator to help nominate a foreigner to process
the remaining SDR Claim, payable by bank wire/transfer. I
am reaching you to help serve as nominee for the fund
because my work ethics as a Compensation Claim Facilitator (CCF)
as regulated by the International Oil Pollution Compensation
Fund forbids me from receiving any form of gratification in
the course of my facilitating role. This fund is due from
the Sub Saharan Africa and it is presently awaiting claim.
If you are interested to be my partner in bringing this
vision to fruition, I will put you through the claim
procedure successfully. Upon claim approval, funds will be
wired out to a trust account we shall both establish in your
country for the purpose of investment and financing
humanitarian projects identified by CAP or developed by it.
I am willing to offer you 10% of the fund on completion of
fund movement while the 90% will be invested on your advice!
.
However, I require that you forward to me by fax or email
the following:
- A formal letter of acceptance (to be written on your
business letter paper)
- Copy of your photo identification.
- An executive project summary for my review. (If you have
one already, if you do not, let me know what your investment
plans are).
You will agree with me that there is great need to bridge
the gap between the under privileged Africa and developed
countries of the world in this new global age challenges.
Kindly email me at

Group Hotel Reservation Scam
Warning! - Checks for hotel group reservation- 419
scams
419 Advance Fee Scammers have found a new target for their check
scam.
They make group reservations at 4-5 star first class hotels ask for
the payment details of the hotel and send a check about a month
before the date of the reservation.
The general idea is that they send a check for about 20 thousand
dollars which will be about 8 thousand more then the charges for the
reservation and ask the hotel groups reservation manager to send the
difference back, minus a small bonus for the manager
We have noticed some scammers to be very successful in the past two
months. They are making the reservations with hotels on all
continents. For the moment we only notice this type of 419 scam
coming from Europe (Amsterdam, London, Edinburgh) with help from
Nigeria
We have identified this scam in an early stage and expect that it
will be successful for at least until the end of November
this year.

"Art Dealer" Looking For Someone To Process
Money. Hmmmmm...
My name is Dayo Adams and I am an artist.I
live in Netherland,with my two kids, four cats, one dog and
the love of my life. It is definitely a full house. I have
been doing artwork since I was a small child. That gives me
about 23 years of experience. I majored in art in high school
and took a few college art courses. Most of my work is done in
either pencil or airbrush mixed with color pencils. I have
recently added designing and creating artwork on the
computer.I have been selling my art for the last 3 years and
have had my work featured on trading cards, prints and in
magazines.I have sold in galleries and to private collectors
from all around the world.I am always facing serious
difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to
Americans,they are always offering to pay with a US POSTAL
MONEY ORDER,which is difficult for me to cash here in
Netherland.
I am looking for a representative in the states
who will be working for me as a partime worker and i will be
willing to pay %10 for every transaction,which wouldnt affect ur
present state of work,someone who would help me recieve payments

and reliable,cause the cost of coming to the state and getting
payments is very expensive,i am working on setting up a branch in
the state,so for now i need a representative in the united state
who will be handling the payment aspect.
These payments are in money order and they would
come to you in your name, so all you need do is cash the money
order deduct your percentage and wire the rest back.

of getting anyone that gets away with our money,i mean the FBI
branch in Washington gets involve.
It wouldnt cost u any amount,u are to receive payments which will

APPEAL FOR FOUND:
Dearest brethren in Christ, I am pastor Joel Kennedy. Insight Bible
Church in London. On one of my program in Africa/Nigeria, Theme:
Empowering Men With Insight For Excellence" I came across a
miraculous work of God. I saw "two babies joined together from lower
abdomen. They were born premature and under the care of Doctor. This
I have not seen in my entire life, the most surprise thing is that
they are alive and their mother also alive but still in pains of the
surgery she went through for the babies. I wonder how they are able
to stay alive till date. It was a miraculous work of God.
After the crusade, I
came back to London and the Lord review to me in revelation. God
spoke about those children which I saw in Nigeria and He said those
"babies are special babies" and God also instructed me to reach out
to all Churches and individuals for this life saving offering for
the children. He live in the Children and every penny you give stand
as a collateral for your breakthrough in business, in life, in
everything you ever ask from God and also stand for your set free
from Sickness in your entire life and He will bless you abundantly.
says the Lord. This is the question God has asked me to ask you all
brethren in Christ. If He was to open the door of heaven and ask you
brethren to give him the Lord all you belongings wouldn't you have
given Him all your have?
So brothers and sisters in Christ, this is what the Lord has asked
me to tell you. so please don't let it came to you as a sounding
gyms, let's give as much as we can to save the lives of these
wonderful children of God.We are not taxing you for certian amouth
but from what you have send across to the use for surgery they are
undertking. They are placed under a solid able care of the same
Doctor with the help of few individuals support whom God has touched
their heart to help the babies to this stage. We can do likewise so
that they can undergo for medical surgery that will cost eight
thousand Dollars ($8, 000.00) There after they can be free
individuals like we are. Please note that the donations are not
going to the few individuals or the father of the children. But to
save the lives of the little babies.

Love Connection?
I was taken in
my a Nigerian scam. I want to post this letter with all the
information I could gather on this individual so that no one
else would fall for the same scam as I did, I was scammed in
a slightly different manner, but while checking all this
out (being cautious) Thank God, & always suspicious, that I
am, I started checking this person out, even thought he was
writing me Love Letters that would melt anyone's heart.
But, I met this widower, on a dating site, match.com & his
ID name there was valeriestuckss and said he is 47 years
old, his name is Richard Geograd 104 Erin Ave.
Brisbane,Pa.16620 (address in the US he gave me) said he
just move there from Lancaster, Pa, & that he moved because
he had lost his wife, only child, & father, all in a
terrible accident 10 years ago (never said how) & that he
was an Artist, & had gone to Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria
23401 staying at a hotel on the Island at 103 Lewis Street,
was there for an Art Show, & was coming home as soon as his
art pieces sold, he closed his profile on the match.com site
the day we met, & started emailing me & using Yahoo IM all
day everyday, the day his art pieces were shown they all
sold, & he was coming back to the states the next day, he
was going to buy a ticket to meet me in Texas.
The night he was
going home from the sale, (with all the money he made from
selling his art) he said he was hit over the head & robbed.&
that he was planning to buy his ticket to come to me in Tex.
the next day. 1I told him to go to the US Embassy for help,
then he said that he couldn't because he wasn't a US
citizen???? I don't understand that one, he said his mother
was British & dad was Portuguese so he was not a US Citizen,
??? still don't understand because he had always lived in
the US. Then he said that he could not get any money out of
his bank in Pa. & He didn't have anybody to contact to help
send him money to get him a plane ticket back home. So he
asked me if I could send him a $1,000. so that he could buy
a ticket, & I told him I didn't have that kind of money,
then he asked if I could at least send him $300 so he could
at least afford to eat. Well, I didn't do that either. Then
he said he had some money orders but they would not except
them in Nigeria, so he would make them out to me & mail them
to me, & I could deposit them in my acct. & then use my ATM
& get cash & send him back the cash Western Union so he
would get it faster, (because he wanted to be with me so
bad) Yeah Right!
He even went as
far as to explain, that I could not send too much money in
one Western Union payment so I would have to divide it up
into several. He (as of today 2/5/06) still swears that
(they are in the mail) (but they'll be fraudulent) that he
mailed them from the Post Office on 1/23/06, but I still
have not received them. But since then out of the Blue, I
received a FedEx Letter from someone I had never heard of,
name William Tanke written on a Bank of America Bank Account
out of Hollywood Ca. on a Company named NETDROPSHIPPER,
INC 2857 East Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90023, when I got
it I asked him & he told me the mans name that was the
signer & that was it, & he told me that this man was a
customer of his & owed him money, so to pay him, he just had
him make the check out to me, so that I could take it &
deposit it & send him to cash Western Union, well I couldn't
cash it at my bank, and we just happened to have A Bank of
America right across the street so I went over there to see
if they could verify that this was a legitimate acct. And
they looked it up by acct # & Name & it was a legitimate
acct. but there was not enough funds in the acct. to cover
the amt. of the check.
The check was
for $3,780.00, & was written on 2/1/06 & FedEx so since I
got it the very next day they said that there could have
been a deposit they had been made that had not shown up yet,
so to come back & check the next day. But I have not
returned yet. I still have the check, I don't know how I or
the bank could tell if it is real or not, if there is money
in the acct.???? So I immediately wrote him back & told him
that whoever this person is sent me a hot check & that I
still didn't have any money to send him Western Union.
The only thing I
know is that I never sent ANYTHING from my bank acct., he
does not know what the name of my bank is or my acct info. &
I never sent any kind of money to him by Western Union or
any other way, the only thing I worry about is that he does
know my real name & where I live.& email address & I don't
know what all he can do with that or if he even would bother
if he really is in Nigeria, maybe he would just realize I
found him out & move on & leave me alone, I just wanted to
warn others of the Company this check was written on, has
all kinds of complaints filed all over the net, & on
ripoffreport.com against them, but I also want them to know
about this very handsome man on dating sites that is really
a smooth talker, named Richard Geograd, 47 says he's an
Artist, email is
richdec4th@yahoo.com & richdec4th on yahoo IM also has
an email that is
dijaymax@keromail.com Thank you for reading & I hope
that this will help someone else from falling for scams on
dating sites, Scams ARE EVERYWHERE.

Another Love Connection?
I want to help
someone that might not notice this one particular scam as I
did at the end.
I have been on
myspace.com. Have had contact with this person. Svenson Hindsay
or Rafael Edman Hindsay Moore, which ever he decides to be. We
have chatted on yahoo messenger and he stated that he lives in
Colorado and deals with jewelry overseas. Then he told me he had
a trip planned to Africa to buy a shipment of diamonds.
He supposedly left
the 14th of June. We stayed in contact through email and yahoo
messenger. He then told me he was coming to see me after he was
done with his business trip. All the time writing me that he
loved me and he would do anything for me. He did give me his
phone number of the mobile that he was borrowing from the
manager of the hotel. He stated also that he was staying at the EKO hotel
in Lagos, Nigeria. The phone # is +2348074043461.
His trip was suppose
to end on the 26th of June to Africa and come to see me. On the
24th of June, he stated that his shipment of jewels has
partially gone off into the ocean, and that he would have to
come up with 30,000₤ to
get scuba divers to recover the damaged jewels.
Then he proceeded to ask me for help. If I could
help him with the money. Even if it was a little or $5,000. He
was very persistent on getting the money.
I feel this might be a new
money scam that is starting. And would like to protect other
women that might fall to this kind of prey.

------- WHAT CAN BE DONE
ABOUT THESE SCAM ARTISTS? -------
Not much. We don't want to sound fatalistic, but the
reality is that the scam artists hide behind untraceable email
addresses, sending their scam letters from pay-by-the-hour Internet
Cafes. The governments of Africa are generally in a survival mode,
with little interest in dealing with some Internet scam artist in a
local village. There are always bigger fish to fry.
Plus we have actually talked with West African
government and business officials about their perception of these
419 scams. They have expressed amazement that anyone could be fooled
by the empty promises contained in emails from a stranger in
Africa. In their eyes, the culpability goes both ways. "Who
could be such a fool to give money to someone they have never
met?" This is a valid question for all of us to ponder...
What we have done at The Freeman Institute is to
provide a free service to warn individuals who may be flirting with the
idea of great wealth coming their way. Our motto is: Run, don't
walk, away from these scams and then do what you can to warn people
about this pervasive problem. Feel free to provide a link to www.freemaninstitute.com/419.htm
-- so that more people can see the truth about these 419 scams.
