Babe, thanks for your continued prayers and support, you are the reason for my tomorrow. I have been thinking about you all day wishing we were together. Myself and the lawyer had an early rise to the prime ministers office, the appeal of the waiver was still not approved, we only got the funds release document from them but still require the tax clearance approval document which will only be given once we pay completely for the bank to release our funds.
I got $5,000 from my mom, $30,000 from Shirley and another $10,000 from a friend so now I am left with $35,000 to go as soon as I pay this money my funds $19.6 million will be ready in my account and I will be on the next flight to you.
I feel bad enough having to make my burden yours but I have no one else to turn to now and the whole thing is really straining my veins. You must understand that I wouldn't let anything come between us and I cant risk my relationship for whatever I may need, but if you want to give me a hand with whatever amount as even a dime from a loved one will mean a lot to me and be sure I can be able to repay you ASAP.
I have you on my mind all day honey.

Yes babe, I will provide you with the bank details once you have the cash withdrawn from your bank, you will have the money deposited in cash through my lawyers associate corresponding bank in the states so we will get the money here almost immediately , that's the same way Shirley and my friend was able to send money to us.

Scott Wesley , his firm is Gamma Law Group http:/ /www.gammalawgroup.com)
Cash deposit is faster, transfer could take days being an international wire

Babe all you will do is just withdraw the cash from your bank like your usual withdrawal without questioning then you do a cash deposit into his associates bank
Remember this is a self funded project and as stated In the initial contract agreement I'm not allowed any governmental or institutional assistance so this has to be between you and I only so I don't risk loosing it all. I know I can trust you with my life that's why I'm able to tell you everything without holding back

I have been feeling like a total let down to you since I wrote you that mail, I was brought up to always take care and carter for my woman. I feel very bad already having to ask you and I hope you can forgive me but please you should understand that I'm feeling so desperate and handicapped being here and stand the risk of loosing it all if things get to wrong hands. It took me a whole lot to summon the courage to ask you and I never want this to come between us babe so please I will really appreciate you handle it yourself and not involving your ex to handle it.
You can have the cash withdrawn here and if there's not enough time before your trip, you can have it deposited when you get to NY

I really don't what they are capable of doing but it's definitely something I should be worried about because of the issues they are currently facing with our mr president they can do the worse plus in the past they say most expatriates have fled off without paying which has put them in huge debt so now they have become strict and mean on westerners. So please babe stay positive and do your best to make it happen, Pm also still trying all my best to rally for money but it's not been easy
The sooner I can get things resolved, the better so I can leave here ASAP

I am sorry to say that I am his latest victim. He also found me on silversingles.com and won me over with the beautiful love letters and fake pictures. I have only been communicating with him for a week but it was obvious he was a fake when he would not provide a phone number or a linkedin profile for proof of identity. Lukily I used Google Image search and found this forum and learned the truth.
He is using the same pictures posted here already just a new email: michaelraymond674@gmail.com.

Thank you for adding that information. Is there anything else you can add?

E-mails, E-mail addresses, Phone numbers, Photographs and fake documents, Places you were asked to send money to are all helpful.

I was contacted by this person (or a person using these photos) on Silver Singles a week ago. His username was SSS and as soon as I agreed to contact him via email he sent me the first email that everyone else got saying that he took his profile down because he was getting freak emails on the site. I felt weird about it and wrote him back saying that he was going way too fast and that I would never meet someone within a month's time, I was more careful than that. His second email was the same one that he has sent to everyone else, he didn't address my concerns and didn't respond o anything i wrote. There were enough red flags then that I did a google images reverse image search and found this site with the same pictures he had sent to me. I have told him that I know he's not using real pictures and he's a scam artist and not to contact me again. I have not heard from him since.

Thank you for adding that information. Is there anything else you can add? One detail can help someone else avoid the scam.

What email address did he use to write to you? Anything to add that is not posted here, that others can search to find him?

[LeenBee]

I've just been contacted by this scammer on Bumble. I live in South Africa. I did an image search of his photo because something about it didn't seem right. And found your post. He knows very little about the area but says he's new. But it's very suspicious. And his English is terrible. He goes by the name Ramond. Says he's divorced and has a daughter and grandson in the UK. He also said he is in civil construction work. When I ask personal questions, he always uses the excuse that he's busy with work.
