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.
We have to catch these scammer - James Kahn or Greg Collins. Same story - widowers, wife and child died. Within one week - ready to move in. Very scary - preying on lonely women. If you're on seniorpeoplemeet.com you need to get off this dating site. Very dangerous.
I joined Seniormeetpeople.com last year and purchased a one-year membership. Have been paying ever since. Was not acive since September as I had met someone. When I tried to rejoin in May, I couldn't. The interface is no longer there.
Has anyone been in contact with a John walson..said he is widowes has a 15 yr old daughter....is an engineer...has just went to malaysia on a contract....i tried telling my friend this is a scammer...wants to marry her already...but she won't beleive me!
I would truly like to see photos of this man who says that his Mom in Italy died. I may have been dealing with the same person here in northern California. His mobile phone number has NY area code but when dialed forwards to an international sounding ring. He claims work for Magellan International Investments but google only comes up with a person who retired a long time ago. He is supposed to fly into San Francisco tomorrow morning. Supposedly his mother died this morning..."Carmen Mendoza" in Italy. I feel like a fool. These stories are all sounding to familiar. I thought that he had an african accent as I have a brother in law that sounds the same and he is from Samalia (raised in Italy).
Be very careful as this scammer on match.com is alive and well going right now by Chad Krebs but the same old story - The picture he posted would melt any heart although he said it was of a 62 yr old which was obviously questionable. He never really asked for family/work info but spent a lot of time winning his way into my heart. Grew up in Germany, Masters in Scotland, said he had an accent people think is German. Said he was a SR Fund Investor with Magellan Investments Int'l. Red flags were saying this guy is a good looking professional (and maybe the guy in the photos was) but not the person you are actually talking to. There was no evidence of this person on google or in the white pages, he did not answer direct questions, started talking about me as the love of his life before I hardly knew him. Checked for a person in that city and nothing - I believe he used the user name/email as pony#### and some numbers. Best to set up an email account only used for people you correspond to online but not your regular personal email - give out your phone number with caution if at all. There are a lot of well meaning, trysting open hearted women out there that could be really hurt and after all who needs that.
