I met Bill Del Banks on POF. same basic story. Beverly hills location; went to Tx. then to UK. mama died. then to Dubai and now back to UK. reported him to Vanguard and they verified no affliation. Tried to buy stock in my name. Just sent him GFY email.
I too join seniorpeoplemeet, I was contacted by Adam Kahn who gave me the same story, wonderful writer, very passionate, the he had a big contract in Nigeria - "his debit card did not work there" asked me for $13,000. He claimed he was German electrical engineer graduated Oxford in London. He has a son Daniel who is also attending Oxford. Please ladies, watch out for this one - he is a smooth talker. Must think American women are easy targets.
Oh my word,I not only have the same story but I have 3.... Funny thing bout it is that one was already in Nigeria "working"-Name Rob Kenneth,then a James Kahn from St Paul ,Minn,went to Nigeria to "work" asked me to send him approx. $3,000.00 for the balance of equipment that got lost in transit.Now my most recent one that really swept me off my feet-Eric Richard Bullard in Houston,TX just left a week ago yesterday(may 30 th) for contact work to build 2 bridges....then I get this email from my "step-son" Leon aka-Eric jr-who calls me mom & says that dad is in hospital due to gang attack & he got hit in knee with sledgehammer & he needs $1,400.00 for the doctor to do surgery.I emailed back telling him asking if doctors could do surgery than bill his dad.Funny,the gang took his credit card & all the cash he had in his pocket.Then I got email on sunday -30th saying that he got most of the money but if I could still come up with $600-700.00 that would be great & gave me name of someone who may or may not be a doctor there.I am going to call the American Consulate in Nigeria to see if this guy even exists& if he isn't there I'm calling the U.S. Secret Service to report this crap.....I would suggest all of us women do the same.
Ok , I'm another one - I have only talked to Craig Smith for two days, but on goggling his name I was fortunate enough to see all of his red flags - thanks ladies for putting this scam artist out there for us all to see. !!!
OK, chalk up one more in the Craig Smith scam club. This man is persistant but way over the top in his attempt to pull you in to his scam. I mean, I'm intelligent and not ugly but I've never had anyone fall so desperately in love with me after seeing my picture and one flirt.Funny thing is, he is still online - I was hoping to chat with him some more and see how far he will go. Unbelieveable! What a jerk! I imagine 99% of the people on this site are alright but it only takes one to screw things uo. Hopefully, no one will fall for his crap but unfortunately, someone may end up hurt, broke or both. Thanks for a site where these creeps can be exposed.
