Hi, I was approached by a man named Samuel Jerryson Babikian on ArmeniaMatch.com on 11/18/12; He claimed to be a goldsmith living in Bakersfield, age 58, 5'7" tall; After 1 month of communication, he claimed I was the best thing that happened to him, and that he couldn't get me out of his mind, etc; He sent me photos (model Daniel Kehoe) and more lovely emails; After 1 month, he said he is going to London for business trip to buy GOLD and then he would come to visit me. While in London, he told me I should invest in GOLD because prices are going up and I would make money. He said the minimum purchase is $25K for 1 bar of GOLD. Stupid me, I got greedy and rushed to the bank and wired the money;

After a week, he calls to say he needed to pay the VAT and its going to cost $50K; After 2 months, he sends me a sample gold in the mail which I verified as 22 carat real gold and stupidly sent him $15K to help pay for VAT; after this he asked for the rest ($35k) and I said NO because I don't have the entire gold and asked for VAT invoice. He pleaded, begged, apologized, asked for forgiveness, said he wanted to die and used GOD and his daughter to get me to send him the last $35K to bring him home.

After 2 days, he sends me a fake VAT receipt and that's when I knew I was scammed! After this, he asks for 20,000 to help pay for his daughter's hospital bills which I didn't send; When this didn't work, he changed it to shipping 6 kg's of gold for $14K (shipping and ownership papers); I didn't reply; He is begging for forgiveness, apologizing that he hurt me and asking for 2nd chance, yeah right! I reported the incident to police and FBI, FTC, attorney general, ZenGold (fake receipt) and the model (identity theft);

here are the photos of model, fake ZenGold and VAT receipts and wiring information;

Details received from Lady:

Hello, I found your site via google search for scam victims and wanted to tell my
story;

I posted myself online on ArmeniaMatch.com website back in mid-November; A guy named
Samuel Jerryson Babikian responded with photos of a very attractive man;
He claimed to be a widow with a 11 year old daughter named Gene. He claimed to be
living in Bakersfield, CA; After a month of communication, he said how lucky he was
to meet me and that we belong together, etc.
After a few days, he told me he had arrived in London to buy GOLD for his business
and that I should invest in GOLD and gave me a few days to wire the money since he
didn't want to extend his stay. Before I sent him the money, he sent me his Passport
(fake) and address (11716 Kenseth, Bakersfield, CA 93312); After I sent him the $25K
via bank wire to C E Gordon at Lloyds bank. He even wanted to
buy house together (he called the realtor asking her to show me a house). He would
send me 2 to 4 emails and cards/songs to me; We would chat daily expressing feelings
for one another.


After a few days, he called and said he needed $50K to pay for VAT (his and mine) in
order to come home. He said he didn't know about the VAT since he hadn't been in
London for 6 yrs; I refused to help unless I got some gold so after a month, he
finally sent me a sample gold which I took to the local jeweler to evaluate and it
turned out to be 22 carat real gold; I got so happy, I sent him $15K for VAT via
bank wire to E C Ewatore at Lloyds bank. He then asked for the
remaining $35K and I refused saying I will play when I get the rest of the GOLD.
After this, he used GOD, said he loved me and wanted to marry me, buy a house
together, and have babies and asked for forgiveness and said he wanted to die so I
believed him (he is very convincing) and sent the additional $35K on 2/10/13 via
bank wire to E C Ewatore at Lloyd bank. He sent me a fake VAT receipt. I
have yet to receive the remaining GOLD I paid for; I have
blocked him from emails, chats, phone; I filed a police report and FBI (IC3), FTC,
attorney general, notified ZenGold in UK to verify the receipt and they said it was
fake; He sent me gifts (flowers before I sent the $25K and then a gift basket for
valentines). By the way, after I sent the $75K, he then asked me to send him
20,000 british pounds saying he spent the ticket money for hospital bills for his
daughter's accident; then switched to shipping the gold would cost $14K and to use
jlss-ltd company for shipping (listed as fake on against419.com website). The IP
address from January emails shows Accra, Ghana;


He told he has a site: http:/ /www.jerrysonclassicjewellery.com; << Fake scammer website in Ghana.
His phone # is 661-374-0173 and his email started
with bjerryjan@yahoo.com then changed to s_babikian@aol.com; Since he has been
blocked from communicating with me, he tries to send ecards to apologize and forgive
him.

I have yet to receive the remaining GOLD (1kg's) and he is still asking for
forgiveness and apologizing to give him 2nd chance. I told him where he can go!

one of the IP addresses from one of the emails pointed to Accra, Ghana - IP 41.218.221.181
(january 11th email from s_babikian@aol.com) then started to change to various
locations and last one pionted to Anonymous, proxy server. I sent u some of his
emails. He's got a website http:/ /www.jerryjanclassicjewellery.com. <<Fake website.

scammer emails with wire information

From: Jerryjan Babikian <bjerryjan@yahoo.com>
To: xxx
Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 4:23 PM
Subject: Bank Details

Hi honey,

I was with Gene that's why i took long to reply you with the information to wire the
transfer. Honey i just re-checked and you can only have 2KG Gold bars for 52,000
us dollars. To be honest it's best you buy it because it will increase again new
year.so we have to invest into Gold for the future after we buy our house and get
married, we wouldn't need to travel to buy Gold for a very long time so we can
always be together.

My love when it get's home you will earn 2x profit at the bank, Because what you
are buying will value much more when it get's to the State. Honey and also it will
help us to have enough money after buying the house. I will also deposit part of my
Gold at your bank for safe keeping to increase your interest rate.Buying Gold is
another form of property just like buying real estate just that people don't know
about it and even they don't know where they can buy them if they have the money,
Thank you you have me so you shouldn't worry about buying Gold. The only thing is to
get it from the real source and that's what am doing now to get the quality and best
and also affordable.

Darling just call me if there's anything else you like to have for the transfer to
take place. The account belongs to my business partner who came for me and Gene at
the airport from Heathrow. He always receives money for me through his account when
am coming down town to do business since i can't carry lots of cash on me in the
plane. I have really missed you my love. Call me when you close from work so we can
talk more on the phone since you can connect with me on the phone now.
Honey when the money is available just go to the bank personal and fill a form and
deposit the money at the counter and after transferring you need to scan the payment
slip from the bank and email to me. That is the most important thing after
transferring takes place, honey am telling you to go and send it personally to the
bank because sitting at the office and calling them to transfer to me may take long
time than going to send it by yourself so that i can have the money in the account
within 24hrs to 48 hrs. OK

With a lot of Love and Passion,

Your Amoussin
Jerryjan.
