Thanks for continuing with this research because I am sure you have helped put a stop to a lot of them being scammed.
Hey Scratchy, this is the only thread you need.
It has tailed off a good bit for me, time constraints and it is hard to keep fresh. All these scumbags are virtually the same, some sort of story that requires cash to flow to their pockets. I hope as with many of the other topics here people have thought twice before sending money.
I still have two fake profiles set up and they are like passive residual scumbags, especially my rich old lady. As time permits I swing by and put up a few posts, fortunately there are a lot of scam sites and FB groups that are putting up photos and keeping current.

Re: Sweetheart Scammer or did this really hot person pick me above all others?
I received an invite to be friends from a "person" on FB and saw there were 2 mutual friends on there. I went to the profile and saw more than I cared to see!!! :) I reported it to FB and received this email this morning.
Facebook
We reviewed your report of Rosalba Villalba Delgado's photo
We reviewed the photo you reported for containing nudity. Since it violated our Community Standards, we removed it. Thanks for your report. We let Rosalba Villalba Delgado know that their photo has been removed, but not who reported it.
Also sent a message to one of the people who had accepted his friendship and she said she had removed him because she thought it was scam.
Yes, ribshaw, seems llike you & I do a lot of talking to each other on this one!! However, I do believe that others still read it or find it on Google and you have helped a lot of people!
Don't get ripped off!! Stay informed!

BBC News - 'I was tricked by match.com scammer'
Two men have been found guilty of money laundering after women were scammed out of nearly £250,000 by criminals using the match.com website.
But it is not the first time that scammers have used the dating website to con money out of people looking for love online.
Sarah-Jane Johnson fell victim to a separate scam and handed over hundreds of pounds, but soon realised that something was not right.
She was communicating with a man, online and by phone, who said he was working in South Africa when a tragic accident happened.
He told her thousands of pounds had been spent on funeral and hospital bills and that he needed to raise some capital to pay taxes before he would be paid for his work.

Love Scam: Fraudster Arrested For Swindling Woman, 75, Of €200,000
Ejike Ejike
For swindling a 75-year-old woman of €200,000 in a romance-scam, a 31-year-old conman, Adio Opeyemi Michael, who hails from Owu local government area of Ogun State, has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
Dutchwoman Jeanet De Jonge allegedly met Michael on dating site, ‘Net log’, where Michael posed as a 41-year-old American citizen, working as a chef in a Nigerian restaurant and in need of a wife.
The profile attracted Jeanet and, in no time, she began sending him money through Western Union and Money Gram.
“She was sending me money monthly, ranging from $800 to $900 from June 2012, through Western Union Money transfer and Money Gram; to the extent that Western Union blocked her from sending money to me in Nigeria. Following the blockage, she requested that I go to London to enable her send me money there. I contacted a friend, Osas Odiah, in London, so that he can receive the money and send it to me here in Nigeria. She first sent €2,000 to Odiah’s account in London and, later to my Keystone Bank account, which was actually a Forex Trade account. We started using this account when we discovered that my friend was not remitting all the money sent by Jeanet to me,” the suspect revealed.
According to EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujiaren, investigations further revealed that the suspect collected the various sums under the pretext that he was going to use the money to perfect his travel plans and obtain the required documents that would enable him travel to Holland to join or visit De Jonge. However, his continued refusal to honour the invitation from De Jonge prompted the petition to the EFCC.
Michael will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is concluded.
Love Scam: Fraudster Arrested For Swindling Woman, 75, Of ?200,000 - Nigerian News from Leadership Newspapers
==================================================
I got these photos from a Facebook friend. Some have previously been used in romance scams, others are new. I had hoped the use of images stolen from soldiers would come to a grinding halt, but it looks now like that is anything but the case. Please remember anyone deployed at this time does not have all day to sit at the computer and send lovey doveys.
.MIL IS THE ONLY OFFICIAL EMAIL SUFFIX FOR ALL BRANCHES. If you are corresponding with GI_JOE@(Anything other than .MIL).com it is very likely this is a scammer. Not that soldiers can't use other email, if you are in love make sure you have the real deal.
You've met the soldier of your dreams online. It's true love, even if they need a little cash.
That's no GI, the Army's Criminal Investigation Command says. It's a scam.

Re: Sweetheart Scammer or did this really hot person pick me above all others?
This came to me on the Facebook. They are looking for people in the US who have been chatting with people in the US.
As always if you are speaking to someone who claims to be from the US and working on an oil rig or in the military or has some other reason why they can not meet in person, you are dealing with a scammer.

They may be somewhat "legitimate", Gaby Astrauskas is a real TV personage. It looks like they are setting up a new show https://www.facebook.com/haveyoubeenconned?fref=nf

I suspect it is going to be what TV is (The guy with five wives caught in a hot tub by his transvestite girlfriend who will turn out to be a congressmen) not recovery of funds or scammers put in jail.

Razan Naieem Saleem
Feb 8 (2 days ago)
to me
Assalumualaikum Friend,
Thanks for your message,I'm Mrs. Razan Naiem Saleem, 57 years old
woman from Libya. I am married to Late Mr, ABDUL RAHIM Saleem of
blessed memory who is an oil explorer in Libya and Kuwait for twelve
years before he died in the year 2009. We were married for twelve
years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for
only four days. Before his death we were both devoted Muslims. Since
his death I too have been battling with both Cancer and fibroid
problems. When my late Husband was alive he deposited the 250 KG of
Gold with a Deposit firm in overseas. Please I Will Like You To Get
Back To Me With Your Full Contact Information For Urgent
Communication.
Recently, my doctor told me that I have only six months to live due to
cancer problem.Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness.
Having known my condition I decided to donate this gold to either a
Muslim organization or devoted Muslim individual that will utilize
this gold, But the problem now is that the company said there well be
some outstanding bill to be paid. before this company we deliver this
deposit to anyone,
This is why I'm looking for someone who is matured enough to give me
rest of mind to hand over everything to him or hims organization,To
handle this the way I am going to instructs you here is how to get
the gold. I want this Muslim organization or individual to use this
gold pro deeds in all sincerity to fund mosques, orphanages, widows,
and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society
upholds the views and belief of the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran
emphasizes so much on ALLAH'S benevolence.
And this has encourage me to take the bold step. I took this decision
because I don't have any child that will inherit this deposit and my
husband relatives are new Christian's converts and I don't want a
situation where this gold will be used in an Unholy manner.Hence the
reasons for this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with
ALLAH the most beneficent and the most merciful. I don't need any
telephone communication in this regard because of my health, because
of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't
want them to know about this development. With ALLAH all things are
possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact
information of the Deposit firm and the country in oversea where the
gold was deposited.I will also issue a letter of authority to the Firm
authorizing them that the said gold Have being willed to you and a
copy of such authorization will be forwarded to you. I want you and
the Muslim community where you-reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a true devoted Muslims worthy of
emulation. Whoever that wants to serve ALLAH must serve him in truth
and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any
delay in your reply will give room in sourcing for a Muslim
organization or a devoted Muslim for this same purpose. Until I hear
from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.I am very
sick and send this message to you from my sick bad,
May the Almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you,

My reply to SCAMMER razannaieem2010@gmail.com
> Dear, I am sorry for your louse. Please, anything I can do to help.
================================================== =========
Hello Dearest Evans ,
Thanks very much for your strong will to carry out this project. Allah
will surely bless you tremendously. My dear, what will be needed of
you is the will to work, as I will explain to you. First, you will
have to clear and claim the Gold from the company (Maximum safe
deposit and securities) then investment follows. But you will have to
assure me that you will work as I will direct you because it's Allah's
work though adequate compensation will be set aside for you after
clearing the fund, you will invest it as follows; I ask you to tell me
more about yourself but you have not do that let me know you more
better okay
50% of the total money, you will invest into the charity as i have
told you earlier.You will build an orphanage home and Hospital in any
city of your country, which will be named after my late husband's name
and I. You will be the one to manage the orphanage home. You will do
everything pertaining management of the home. Though you will need to
employ people that will assist you.
The remaining 50% of the proceeds, you will have to invest it in any
good business of your choice,which you can manage very well. From the
proceeds of the investment you will be sending me $1000 monthly for my
medical expenses and feeding until Allah says it is my time. While the
remaining proceeds should be for you as compensation for a job well
done and to take care of your own needs. In event of my death, the
business venture will be your own while you must make sure that the
orphanage home and hospital must be well kept because that is the area
i am so much concerned with.
Right now,I have to guide you clear the deposit (Gold) first.To do
that i have to first send your information to the company as my
partner whom i intend giving the power to clear the deposit on behalf
of my family then,when the company confirms receipt of it,you can now
contact directly to my lawyer whom helped my late husband during the
time of deposit.
My dear, for us to achieve the final conclusion of this transaction we
need 100% secret and confidential. Please I want you to guarantee me
in your next mail that you will keep every information about this
transaction 100% secret to yourself only till this Gold is released
into your position? This is because i don't want any other parson to
know about this project or Gold.
Please keep all information related to this transaction to yourself along.
I will be looking forward to receiving an acknowledgment of this
message from you while i wait for the company to confirm receipt of
my message.
Thanks and May God is with you.
Mrs. Razan Naiem Saleem,
================================================== =========
Can't imagine this will work, but she is knock knock knocking on death's door...
Yes my love I will do as you wish.
Our secret is safe between you, me and Aladdian as I pray for your hasty demise. Please forward any necessary documents and let me promise you I will use the gold for only holy purposes. Currently I run a small charity for roller derby girls looking to adjust, I also have a scholarship program for young strippers. Currently I am evaluating and reevaluating applicants, can't be to thorough I always say.
Please if you would call me Daddy Evans.

Re: Sweetheart Scammer or did this really hot person pick me above all others?
This is a little different than a lot of the posts in this thread in that these are pictures of the people running the scam. With the exception of Sgt. Stephanie Malloy which is a stolen picture. The original post was in the link below, but the person involved in the scam has updated her story to read a little better in her opinion.
http://www.realscam.com/f16/goran-ma...long-con-4093/
This story was given to me by the victim via Facebook and Email. The first part is in her own words and several police reports have been filed.
The following scam happened in person and not over the internet. It began in April 2014 in Europe and lasted until Novermber when I left Europe to come home to Australia. The main perpetuator of
the scam was an Australian man, Goran Markovic from Blacktown, NSW in Australia. His partner, Nicola Penny, from Hounslowe UK, is also involved in the scams and benefts significantly from their
scams by receiving stolen money (sent via Western Union or deposited directly into her bank account) as well an enjoying many expensive holidays with Goran Markovic. Nicola Penny and Goran Markovic
have a 5 year old daughter whom they take on their family holidays together using other peoples’ money. His mother, Jovanka Arezina from Blacktown, NSW in Australia, is also involved in the scams
and pretends to be the sweet old mother who adds credibility to the scam. Who would believe that it is a scam if his sweet elderly invalid mother is involved? It’s all part of the scam. He spoke to his
mother every day and always insisted I say hello to her. She also told my family on the phone that she had deposited money into my mother’s bank account but these were always lies.
I met Goran Markovic last year in April when I was staying in a hostel in Florence, Italy. He told me he had been holidaying with his partner, Nicola Penny, and their 5 year old daughter, in Paris when
all of his documents including passport had been stolen. He showed me a police report from the Italian police. He also showed me photos of the expensive hotel they had stayed in in Paris with the
Eiffel Tower in the background from the hotel room. He had told me he was a wealthy man and had spent $40,000 on a trip to Paris and Italy with his partner and daughter.
I offered to receive money on his behalf using my passport. Over the next few days, his mother, Jovanka Arezina, sent me money that I gave to him. He said he was waiting on his passport being
issued from Rome. In the meantime, he used my laptop to skype with his partner and daughter. He portrayed himself as a devoted family man who loved his partner and daughter, and someone
dedicated to putting away criminals. He told me he was also a pilot working for the SES in NSW. He showed me a document which was a newspaper article (online source, see document attached) which
reported the arrest of criminals by a Colonel Goran Markovic who was an Interpol Investigator. He said he also took assignments with ASIO/ASIS because of his military background in the air force (he
was also a pilot and colonel in the air force) and his expertise with many languages. I also heard conversations (which I now believe were faked) with a man called Todd Brown who was supposedly
his boss and the Assistant General Director of ASIO. In fact I believe that the majority of conversations I was to hear over the next 7 months were faked as were all of the emails I received
from this "Todd Brown”.
We chatted quite a lot over the next few days and decided on a brief trip together (as acquaintances) as travellers often do. He gave me a cheque to cover his portion of the trip (I recently found out the
cheque was stolen) as well as an airline ticket back home (fake as well-see one of the attached documents). During the time we traveled together he gave me a gift of 25,000 pounds. He spent
many hours on the phone to Australia with his accountant as well as online transferring the money (all fake because there was never any money that was deposited into my account). I heard many
conversations with his “accountant”. During the course of these online transfer I witnessed him organizing things like electronic signatures etc online. I did not check as the transfer was apparently
going to take to a month or more as the money was being transferred from his bank account in Australia to my bank account in the UK as I was told by Goran
After 2 weeks of travelling together, Goran said he had received an assignment from ASIO/ASIS and suggested I come with him to Belgium since I had not seen Belgium. He said that ASIO was
organizing a credit card for his expenses and he would reimburse me any money owed to me from our trip. He then told me that the assignment had been brought forward so we headed to Belgium
Page 2
sooner than I had expected. He said he would be working and I would be free to sightsee. I agreed and that's when the scam was escalated and things began to deteriorate very quickly from this point
onwards. He then said there was a complication and there was a problem with the credit card from ASIO and asked if I could organize a car for him, and he insisted I would be reimbursed. I agreed
thinking that he had been generous to give me 25,000 pounds which more than covered the expense of a rental car.
So I went off sightseeing in Brussels for the next week. I always kept my 2 credit cards separate for security reasons. When I went to pay for my hotel bill one of my credit cards was declined. When I
looked for the other credit card, I could not find it. I called him to ask if he had it. He said he did have it. There was less than $2,000 available on the credit card that he had so I was not panicking to
get it back, also still thinking there was that 25,000 pounds gift to cover everything. He knew I planned to leave and travel by myself. I told him I wanted it back and when I eventually saw him, he
was scared and said that we had to leave Brussels in a hurry as the operation had gone badly and the criminals knew his real identity and mine and we were in danger. The rental car was returned and we
left Belgium for France. He showed me a sealed postal package that he said contained the bloodied t-shirt of the hit man who had killed an oil executive in Brussels (the package was kept sealed). He
was acting very scared and told me that these criminals might be listening via his mobile phone so we had to talk as if we were going to Bruges when we were actually headed for France. When we
arrived in Calais, he called his boss Todd Brown. I mention these details because for the next 7 months, Goran Markovic planned a very elaborate and detailed scam as detailed as I am describing
which had me convinced me that he was an undercover agent and we were hiding out from criminals.
This is when things really deteriorated from this point onwards. For the next few weeks I lived in fear that we would be found by these criminals. We used fake names to book hotels so that we could not
be traced and we travelled between France, Germany and the Netherlands. After a few weeks he told me he had to complete this assignment and it would be a joint operation with the American and
Australian secret services. He said that if he did not do this then we were in continual danger from these criminals. He would have to go back to Belgium but that it was too dangerous for me to be
anywhere near him so I went to Luxembourg. By this time, he was still using my credit card and I believed that I needed his protection. He reassured me it would all end soon and our money would
be reimbursed. He had attempted many times to arrange money to be reimbursed to my bank account as well as my mother’s bank account but something always seemed to be a delay. I had also
started receiving emails from his supposed boss, Todd Brown, who kept me informed of the progress of Goran’s assignment. These emails would continue for the duration of the scam. Goran called
every day when "the right satellites were in position to provide coverage so that our locations could not be discovered by any of the criminals." He had shown me pictures of 3 US politicians and their
names, saying they were all involved in the murder of this very important oil executive. He also said a Dutch politician was involved. Because of their position, power and wealth he said that someone from
ASIO would be keeping me under surveillance at all times, as well as my emails and phone calls being monitored. I was told that this was for my protection.
When we met up Goran told me that the operation had been a disaster- they had only caught 1 of the politicians and he believed that the Americans had betrayed him, nearly costing him his life. He
said the American secret service now wanted to take him into custody but he refused saying he would not be treated well and their idea of custody was a prison cell until the case went to court. So
it was literally (although all a deceit and lies) a cat and mouse game where he had me believing that the Americans, as well as the criminals, were now looking for us. Further to this, he started telling
me that his boss Todd Brown was playing both sides and wanted him to go into American custody. I started receiving many emails from Todd Brown. Goran would stage events in which I was the go
between, often passing messages back and forth. He would often stay up late at night which is when I think he must have written these emails and planned what would happen the following day. He was
always meticulous with his details and plans, and very clever.
We travelled between many countries- France, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands- staying in hotels using fake names. For the first few months he attempted to return the money, either by
getting his "wealthy mother" to put money into my mum's bank account (which never happened), or
Page 3
his accountant "Shaun Brown" who I know now was fake, or his many "wealthy friends". None of this ever worked. He showed us evidence of these bank transfers which looked convincingly real to
me. He told me that the reason that he was never able to organize anyone to reimburse the money was because he was blacklisted by the Americans who had cut off his money supply, including
anyone connected to him who tried to send my family money. This was done to force him to cooperate and go into American custody in the USA to give evidence in court.
He also became increasingly abusive towards me and the abusive treatment worsened as time went by. The arguments became increasingly nastier and more threatening towards me in which he told
me many times to cooperate and "not to make an enemy of the secret service as they could do nasty things to people." I tried many times to leave and he would physically stop me, wrestle my luggage
from me, and sleep in front of the hotel door to stop me leaving in the middle of the night. He had a very nasty quick temper which I thought was due to the ongoing stressful situation but now I believe
was part of his personality and he would do whatever he could to prevent me from leaving. I was also told that I would never be able to leave without his help and that we had to leave Europe with
fake passports otherwise we both would be detained for a lengthy period of time by the American and/or Australian secret services. There were also many other times I wanted to leave out of
desperation but there was often no money. My sister and mum would often send money when he had used up what was available on my credit card as he had convinced them of what was happening.
He also tried to alienate me from my friends and family by telling me that my emails and phone calls were monitored by the Americans and Australians so I had to limit use of emails and phone calls. He
lied many times to my sister by deliberately distorting the truth trying to turn her against me. I now look back on what happened and realize that he was an extremely manipulative and controlling
person who is also a pathological liar, amongst many other serious mental health problems.
By June he started to leave me more frequently and for longer periods of time and often I was left with no money for food or accommodation. Many times this coincided with me trying to leave and
being uncooperative and argumentative, probably as a way of punishing and traumatizing me, forcing me to be more cooperative and susceptible to him. He also frequently hid my car from me when he
knew that I was planning on leaving. I then had to rely on resources like craigslist. For eg in Lyon, France, when we arrived he hid my car somewhere in Lyon and refused to tell me where it was.
After a few days, he suddenly disappeared telling me that the Americans had found him and he was forced to fly to the USA to give evidence in court. He left me with a 400 euro hotel bill after he had
used up my credit card. After about 10 days, he contacted me saying he had been captured by the Americans and had been forced to go to the USA to give evidence. He had returned by telling me he
had used a passport belonging to his friend and had been able to fly into the Netherlands. Over the next few months he would suddenly leave and then return, each time with a different story of what
had happened. I later found out (when I was back home in Australia) that the periods when he was away for longer he was with his partner and daughter who had come over from the UK. Unknown to
me at the time these trips were paid for with my credit card. He may also have been scamming someone else at the same time I was caught up in his scam.
It did not take me very long to start feeling traumatized by what was happening and feeling as if I was in a bizarre nightmare that never ended. As the weeks went by things became worse. He would
often leave me but still maintained contact with me now and then. I was going for longer periods without money for food or accommodation. In August I had managed to get my car back from him
and I was sleeping in my car. I was too embarrassed to continually ask my sister to send money. At this point, Goran told me that the Americans often blocked and unblocked Western Union depending
on the state of negotiations going on between his boss and the Americans. He convinced me of this by having fake friends send money and giving me fake numbers (I did not know this at the time). I
think he did this to continue the scam and keep re-traumatizing me. He would set up fake transfers when he had left me to live on the street. He did many sick games like this with me. At other times,
he would tell me that I could leave with my car and belongings and drive me to a remote location and then refuse to allow me to leave, or give me the car keys, credit cards or belongings. I think he did
this to teach me a lesson to cooperate. The months from this point onwards were a repeat of everything I have mentioned, just the scenarios
Page 4
and events sometimes changed ie different locations or reasons why he suddenly left and reappeared. The waiting around drove me crazy as he kept telling me it was ending and it never did.
Apparently he was trying to negotiate a deal with the Americans but there was always a reason it never happened. And then an international negotiator was brought in and still negotiations broke
down. He often left me waiting around for him to arrive or there were many instances when people were going to meet up with me to give me money. Usually he or these people never turned up and it
was especially traumatic because I had no money and was very hungry. Sometimes I went 5 days without food. He forced me to sleep in my car and virtually live on the street. I sold many of my
belonging to get money for food. I started to live on the street like a homeless person. Every day was a nightmare and I often prayed to have the strength to kill myself. Many times I tried to kill
myself but never had the courage to do it. I felt like I was going crazy not knowing what was going on and struggling to cope with living. I lived in fear that I would be caught by criminals, or detained
by the American or Australian secret service with no one to help me. I also lived in fear not knowing if I was going to have money to eat the next day. I would wash in the disabled (single) toilets in
hotels as I had no access to showers. I was barely functioning and was not able to work out what was going on. To this day I still do not know how I survived without having a complete breakdown
or killing myself. His treatment of me was extremely cruel and abusive. By November I was very ill and my sister begged me to come home. My mother paid for my flight
home. I ended up leaving the car with him (as I still did not believe it was a scam because it was too elaborate and complicated), telling him I would arrange for someone to come pick up my car and
take it over to the UK to sell it (my car was bought in the UK). He still continued with the scam and lies etc until I find out in February that it had all been a scam. I have since been able to find other
victims that Goran has scammed and stolen from in Australia, the UK and Europe. He has been imprisoned many times in Australia, at least once or maybe more times in Serbia. I have been told
that he has stolen over a million dollars from people in Australia. He has been arrested for impersonating a Serbian army colonel. When he was arrested he was driving a stolen car connected
to a car theft racket, and had a lot of money with him as well as fake passports. He has made a life out of being a serial con-artist.
When I first started speaking with his partner Nicola Penny she assured me of her innocence and that she was also a victim of his abuse. She forwarded me his expired Australian passport and gave me
the names of other victims. However I started suspecting she was not as innocent as she claimed to be when she said things like, "I stood at the ATM as he withdraw the maximum amount from the
credit card.” She knows that he is illegal in Europe with an expired Australian passport or no credit card, with no way to earn money to afford their expensive holidays, knowing that he continually
steals from people. She stopped contact with me when she suspected I no longer believed her innocence. She knows about his criminal activities and continues to receive stolen money that he
sends to her, knowing it is stolen. They also had 3 expensive holidays together between April and November when I was left to live and starve on the streets in Europe.
There are many other incidents that happened but it is not possible to include everything that happened over the 7 month period in Europe. I believe I am lucky to have survived as it could have
been much worse. There was also other abuse that I experienced at the hands of Goran Markovic that I have not mentioned. I now believe he has many criminal connections so my fate could have
been much worse. My personal opinion is that Goran Markovic is an extremely nasty and cruel person who is capable of doing anything in order to steal and scam from people. He showed me no
compassion throughout this scam and continues to lie to me. Goran Markovic is still somewhere in Europe. I believe he is still scamming and stealing from people
although probably on a smaller scale than what he subjected me to. He uses fake passports to travel around Europe but often uses his real name Goran Markovic.
