scammers abusing stolen photos of David Smith

[Feeling Foolish]

Thanks for the welcome Al. I am still shaking hours later from what has happened.

I have read that I should block this person on my face book account. Should I unfriend first and then block?

Secondly, how do I block an email address and mobile phone calls? I feel a bit clueless tonight.

[Feeling Foolish]

ok, I have worked out how to block the email address and facebook. It will just be the mobile phone calls to do tomorrow. I have an iPhone 5 and it doesn't seem to have this function. Any advice? For tonight I will leave it on mute.

Thanks for the help.

Feeling Foolish,

sorry to hear you were scammed.

Can you, please, post here few elements about the scammer?

- one link to his profile online or details from the profile used online
- the pictures he use
- the email address he use
- the phone number he use
- first emails - where he talk about himself
- the emails content about money request

All those details about the scammer can save other potential victims before to be too late.

And about the calls you dont want to receive, maybe you can find a answer here: http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/971686.

The most important thing right now is not to let the scammer to communicate with you again. Delete him, block him without a word and ignore any of his calls or emails.

Maybe this topic here http://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/view ... f=3&t=4509 will help you to deal with the feelings you have right now.

Take care and stay safe.

I have deleted and blocked him on facebook and email. Until I get the mobile number blocked, I will just ignore any type of communication form him...thus far, nothing. He probably has figured out by now what has happened.

I'll go and read the link you just gave me now. Thanks so much.
