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 had suspicious messages from various men. i cwould get a message and check the profile. WORD FOR WORD the same sad story---lost wife a only one child.these messages were from Atlanta, NYC, and other East coast cities. After the 2 or 3rd, I started being a smart alect about it and suggested they compare notes, gave them each the others email. Even mentioned I planned to be in Atlanta in a few weeks---that one didnt ever contact me again.
I did report each of them to the Senior web site and I hope you did too. the men that were all sending me the same love at first sight messages were removed from the site.
just goes to show. old dont mean stupid.
I had 2 men try to dupe me into with the lovey dovy mess. The first one was named Carl Ladd from Cin.,Ohio. He did give me his phone number and I called it but he would'nt talk to me wanted to email him on yahoo.He even sent me flowers to boot. Now the other one was really tight in his information. His name was Michael Cardenas,said he lived in NY. another lady said he told her Canada.He said he worked for an insurance company in London, he gave me phone numbers which I called and they were always busy. Anyway this went on for a month and he finally asked me to use my name and address for him to go to another job, red flags had already gone off. You know the spill, your my soul mate, love of my life so on an so on.So the last email I sent to him was did you hear about the guy who was email women and he was trying to get money out of them.Never heard anything else from him. Everyone needs to read the about the scams on the people site. I was like every new subscriber did not read the about the predators.Ladys watch out for these people they are not your love life. Good luck to everyone on your quest.
ME TOO boy we are some kinda special, what do they think we just fell off a turnip truck. But my 1st one long time ago I almost fell for it DUH. It took me a day or so to relize SCAMMING AT ITS FINEST. I hope you never get roped in, I know I won't
Good Luck Nancy
I too was told the same things. This site is dangerous and the seniorpeoplemeet.com oweners do not care nor do they respond to you. They take your money and run. I truly believe they are part of the scam ring. No one ever hears back from them when you file a complaint. I am just grateful I sent a check to them instead of entering my credit card number and information. I sure hope someone investigates this sight and warns all of us in are golden years. Some of us are not that lucky. Someone needs to investigate the seniorpeoplemeet folks and I am sure they will find they are all in this together.
I just received a message from a James Kahn who is listed as Lonely 332 on SeniorPeopleMeet.com who is from St. Paul MN... but when I looked him up in St. Paul he was born in 1920... so he looked mighty young for 90... and his English writing was broken as well... how do we get these sites to be more selective on members? I would have probably fell for it for a while... but have seen alot of the scam letters on line and email and know the language they speak... thank goodness I only gave him my email address... and can block him out... but it does hurt that vulnerable lonely people who are genuine have to deal with this crap!
