Posted on behalf of the targeted victim:

I have two, claiming to be prince Hamdan. I meet the first on on a game called scrabble go. His email address is hamdanp600@gmail.com. The second one I meet on Facebook. His email address is Fazzahamdan040@gmail.com. They both ask for steam cards to update their iPhones. The first one didn’t ask for anything else. The second on asked me to apply for the Royal card of Dubai.

Posted on behalf of the victim:

It all started around June of 2020 with my LinkedIn account I had an invitation from a Hamdan bin Mohammed (Fazza) asking about real estate business
We messaged back about business and what was for sale in xxx Mexico where I sell real estate that he was interested in investing in
Then he asked me to talk with him on Hangouts
We talk more on hangouts
He told me that he want to come to meet me and look at property in xxx
He said he was the prince of Dubai and the Royal home had a pro call for him to travel and security measures need to be put in place before he could travel to meet me
That I need to apply for a Royal Membership Card and a Royal passport with the card the Royal family would open a bank account and I would be paid $10,000.00 a week for being a member
An off shore bank account was opened and the first week a deposit of $10,000.00 was put in the account
The fee for the card was $7500.00 I said I could not come up with that kind of money
He said he talked to the royal council and they have reduced the fee to $1000.00
I wired the $1000.00
I knew I should not send money but I did
Then It was more money and more money
Till I ended up sending $7500.00 total by wire transfer and Bitcoin
An off shore bank account was opened in my name and the first week $10,000.00 was in the account and each week for 6 weeks another $10,000.00 was deposited
Then he said he sent the card with a parcel that had a safe box that contained money that I did not know he was sending
Of course the parcel was held in customs on 8/12/2020 in Turkey
Now he was asking me to pay for customs clearance for the sum of $5000.00
All along we talk and the conversation went on where this Fazza and I developed a relationship we video chat and talked on the phone
He keep asking me to make the payment to the shipping company(Fast Track) to have the parcel released
I dragged him along
I tried to access the money in the bank account but the bank told me that I need to have a picture of me holding the Royal Membership card and send it to them

The victim was contacted by a second "prince":

I was contacted by this Fazza via messenger on Facebok
I wanted to see if I had been scammed by the first Fazza
He made it seem so real that he was the real Fazza I fell for it
But this story get even better
He sends a parcel with the Royal Membership card
When the parcel get to Columbia it is seized by customs because it has cash in it
I also get talked into sending Fazza 2 amazon gift card FOOL again
Fazza 2 tells me a bank account is opened in my name so I can be repaid for the funds I sent
When I went to look into the account I felt that they were fishing to get my personal information so I did not do it
Then Fazza 2 said he is sending me 3 cashier’s checks to pay me back
I am to cash the checks once they cleared and then send the funds to the shipping company so they can finish the delivery of the parcel
The cashier’s checks came but they were regular bank account checks so I called the bank that they were drawn on
The bank told me that I have no account with them
The checks I have in hand are for the banks cashier’s account
The bank thanked me for information and froze the account
Fazza 2 all along had been asking me to send him back the checks 118 checks in total to 2 different people
I have been putting him off
He did threaten me that if the checks did not get sent back something bad could happen to me and my family

A 3rd contact with yet another "prince":

He contacted me on Instagram and then the story begins
He is sending the card and the package is held at customs
I had a friend that works at customs check and she confirmed the parcel was in xxx Customs
I am not sure if he is a scammer but I think so; the parcel is now being delivered on Thursday
I don’t think I will see the parcel

I had to keep trying to find the right Fazza
O boy it cost me
Well I got sucked in again and again
This stared off as a real estate transaction to purchase a property for an orphanage home
An on offshore account has been opened in my name
When I tried to access the funds as a test I was asked to pay Cost Of Transfer and to access the account I would need a code to do so
Hamdan tells me that the upfront fee was paid and the bank will be emailing me the code this week
I just keep telling him that I have been scammed before and I cannot trust people that say they are the prince
We have video chat but it does not seem real it is broken up and short
I have asked for a meeting on Go to Meeting, or Webinar, Ring central, or Zoom
He said he can and we will set a meeting up
Right now we talk on WhatsApp and a bit on Messenger
I also have lots of other contact information from other Fazza that have contacted me but straight up you know they are scammers
I want to help get this group of scammers off the internet so other women like me will not fall into the trap
