scammer number 1
A blond guy wrote me on the internet. I met him on a dating site (or so). As soon as he had my ID (I did not gave him the one I always use) we start chatting, he asked me to help him out.
He was an Englishman in need in Nigeria (Africa).
The hotel wouldn't let him go because he couldn't pay the bill. If I could give him 400 or so he would pay me back as soon as he was back in England.
I asked him why he did not sell what he bought over there.. but he said it was already shipped to England.
So.. I agreed. I told him I would help him out if he could give me a copy of his passport (he said the hotel manager had it), the number of his registration number at the Chamber of Commerce (he said he had none), the full name of his company + address, the name of the hotel manager and a copy of his ID.
First my scammer told me he had no passport, the hotel manager took it. I could call him to inform. But I told I would not call a stranger on my costs.. to my opinion this is useless too, since I don't know who is who (or can recognize a voice of someone I never heard before).
I also told him that if that manager was so willing to get his bill payed he wouldn't have any problem with giving me the info and copies of both passports.
The last time I heard from him he told me the hotel manager agreed.
The papers never arrived, I never payed anything.
Internet is full of sites where you can find names, pictures and letters used by scammers.
The pictures are often stolen from modeling agencies (who claim they have nothing to do with scam but don't reply if you write them), but also from stolen Identities.
