I don't do something that isn't legal so relax your mind ok? If your bank can receive a transfer it would've been done as a bank transfer to your account or can you receive a transfer into your account? and which bank do you use?

It's interesting that the verbage that he used in other scams are the same that he used with me. He responded to my Craigs List ad and has spent two weeks now convincing me that he loves me. He tells me we cannot meet because he is out of the country and he has refused from the beginning to talk with me on the phone. He also asked me to cancel my CL ad and not see any of the people who had contacted me, this was because he "wanted me all to himself". So far he has not asked me for any personal information except for my name which I foolishly gave him, now I'll be calling my bank today. I found seemingly legit information about him on the web with the attached photo. He is a smooth one, do not be duped!

Thanks for the update, aphidsrbad, and glad you found the reports before any harm done. Is he using the same email address or only the same picture? Can you post some of the emails you received from him, please? Don't forget to delete your name from it before posting (if mentioned). Any new info may save someone else soon.

I was not able to open the photo on the prior posting but it does not look like the Steve Lercel that I found on the web as working for General Aviation. The email address he is using is: lercelsteve@yahoo.com. Yes, I will put a couple of his emails on the site. I believe this is a stolen identity. I am going to send an anonymous letter to a woman who I believe to be the real Steve Lercel's daughter and hope that she can let her dad know about what is going on. If you don't think this is a good idea would you please let me know. I just feel sorry for him if it is an identity theft. I cannot figure out how to do an original post on the site. Here are a couple of his emails:

I'm Steve, i'm on my 70's a fun loving ,compassionate caring and trustworthy man,I'm widow with 3 grown sons and a daughter and 4 grand kids.I'm a a semi retired pilot and a Cosultant/Project Manager at Global Aviation International. I've over 50 yrs experience in Flight management and Maintenance projects. I've a good sense of humor and i love making friends and always love to make people laugh.
Your Ad caught my interest and i said i should say hi to see where this is gonna lead to.I'm looking for a woman who's gonna be my life partner,my best friend, my soul mate,someone i can grow old with and spend eternity with so if you don't mind kindly email me back so that we can talk and get to know each other better. lercelsteve@yahoo.com is my email address.
I'm a semi retired pilot and I also work for Global Aviation International, I like going to movies, camping,jogging, swimming and I like listening to all kind of music but it depends on my mood. I'm very fun to be with and I do not take people for granted. I've a good heart and a good sense of humor, I like singing and going to live concert; my favorite foods are sea food,Italian food, French fries and cuisines. I like making friends and I'm looking for the right woman to grow old with. Tell me something more about you and your family background and your goals in life ? Do you live alone and what do you do ? I'll be looking forward to hear from you soon.
Steve.


I had my degree in aerospace engineering at the Ohio State University. My wife was a parishioner of St. Anthony's Catholic Church before she passed in 2009 and since then i have been all alone and it's been hard to find the right woman then.
I love poetry, books, walks on the beach and cozy candlelight dinners. I enjoy movies, television, music, traveling, the desert, the quietness of the mountains, the ocean,sunrises and sunsets. I'm nonsmoker/drinker, not into drugs (don't need them; I live in a natural high). I believe in enjoying the good life and am high on it. I have a healthy attitude about God and the Bible.I'm a very outgoing person, who loves to dine out travel and enjoy the simple life. I'm a hopeless romantic and very affectionate. I have a good sense of humor and I like to make people laugh and i do donate to the less privilege ones as much as i can. What more would you like to know about me? I'm interested in getting to know more about you and i'll be looking forward to hear from you soon.
Steve.

Yeah, not a good idea. Best to send us the info in PM so we can double check it and if it is then we can write her using an official site email address.
