Scott Brown and the pirates scam...
This man left me a private message on my facebook. It was a week later when I saw it and was awed at the nice message he left about my smile. He liked it and was
interested in getting to know me better, would I drop him a line...stay blessed cheers. Could we chat on yahoo messenger? Okay, I was game, but I didn't have a yahoo email, etc. So I created one, I was game to get to know him. His profile stated
he was an engineer, had been to college in Turkey, went to a high school in California. His pictures were rather charming and he even had one of a little boy, who he claimed was his son, Terry. Within a couple of days of responding to his message, we had began a conversation. He sent me a detailed email about himself to the yahoo email:
Hello Dear xxxxxx,
Thanks for sending me your email id, it is so thoughtful of you and I'm very happy to hear from you. You are too kind.
I'd like to tell you more about myself but where do I start from, okay. My name is Scott Brown, my father was from Texas and my mother was Istanbul Turkey. I spent some time of my life in turkey studying and later moved to Australia where I attained my masters degree in Engineering. I finally moved back to the US of A in 2004 and settled in Cold spring NY. I work as an Operations manager for a Cargo shipping company. I have been with the company for 12 years as the director of operations. I enjoy my job though risky because we are always at sea.
I lost my wife in a car wreck five years ago. I have one very handsome son, His name is Terry and he is 9 years old now. I'm 5`11" 190 lbs with an athletic build. I am real easy person to talk to and a loving and outgoing father. I enjoy painting which I do often at my leisure time. I like going to the movies, or watching movies in my room or Cabin, I like swimming, listening to music and dance to any kind of music. I am a family oriented person, love children, there is more, but it would be better for you to find some things out for yourself.
I am really interested in knowing more about you, your background, your life experiences, past relationships, your goals and dreams, your interests, and anything else you want to tell me. I even want to learn about the secrets you very rarely share with someone, So come on and share it all with me. I want to learn about you and what makes your heart and soul happy, as the friendship I want to build with you, I want it to be like no other you have ever shared or experienced. This friendship I want to build with you will be filled with substance, quality, love and faithfulness. Hope I didn't write much of a novel.............lol.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Until then have a pleasant day.
Scott.Supposedly, they were on their way to Australia via the Indian Ocean. He said he had a contract of some sort in Mexico he had to tend to after that, but would come to visit me for a month first. He was very consistent with the charming talk.
About two weeks later,..he had just woke up, called me, and soon he gets a knock on his door. There is a man telling him the captain needs to see him, it is urgent. He leaves the phone where I can hear this. I don't hear from him for a whole day. Then I get a email
asking me to please pray for him and his crew, things were getting worse and there were pirates close by and he wanted to send me his money he had saved for the contract in Mexico to keep it safe. ..he claimed he had
($1. 750,000.) One Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars....no body in their right mind would carry that much money on them, and especially not at sea....! Then came the
I trust you, I want to send it to you, ect. I paid for this end but to receive it there may be charges through customs, etc. If you could pay for it, then you could reimburse yourself when you get the money. . I had solid proof he was a scammer when I looked up the name of the company on the air bill and somehow, by the Grace of God this site popped up with a woman's post about the same man.
He said that a woman for the company would be calling to confirm information. This is the number she called from: 6-010-298-8853
The phone number he used was
Tel:. +44-703 184 5673
Oh and he also sent me a couple of songs, Celine Dione, and the song “If tomorrow never comes”
The first photo is from his facebook profile and the other two are ones he sent to me in an email..I have more, but not sure where to post as this only allows three.
