I got this from some guy on eharmony. He can't spell worth a crap and is an obvious scammer. You can find line from his letters posted all over the internet. He sounds like some degenerate from some third world ghetto. He will ask for money after trying to create a relationship.
This same man Nicholas Walton with a 16 yo son Richard has been emailing me and calling me , He told me he got permission from the school to take his son to Singapore since he has no family to leave him with. I seached him on facebook and found his profile, Funny a woman has been commenting on all of his pictures and she seems to have more of connection tht just a friendship!! My daughter told me to seach him on google and I found nothing However a tad more concerned I kept serching and not surprised I stumbled upon this!!!!!! I will be more cautious from here on out, or just remain happily single lol
I, too have had contact from Nicolas Walton. Same stories only different phone numbers for him (with Buffalo, NY area codes. I almost fell for it, luckily I had checked with my bank first. I tried Google and found a 77 year old Nicolas Walton in Brooklyn, NY, but none anywhere else. It was interesting the second time I checked, I noticed that this guy in Brooklyn had changed his wife's name. Surprise, surprise--it was my name in CAPITAL LETTERS. I am totally disgusted about this guy.
He saw my picture (from wherever) and liked it. WE corresponded for a few days. His picture or the one he posted anyway was of a very handsome man. Same story - widowed, wife died of breast cancer, son Richard is 17. Said we was an engineer hoping for a contract. Surprise, he got the contract and had to go to Malaysia for 4 weeks, then home for a while, then four weeks again in Malaysia. Got permission from the school to take Richard with him. Red flags? Did not answer my question about Richard's passport, and then just before he "left", he emailed me a very amorous letter - almost to the level of pron. That's when I decided to look on the internet. Thankfully found this site. He told me he was from Italy but I could hardly understand a word he said.
Good people, I too fell almost for this guy! Said he saw my profile and liked my picture on f.b. His name was Patrick Renard and as I looked I saw a handsome man. We corresponded for about one week and yes, all the previous things happend: the dead wife ,the contract in Malaysia, his son Richard. As I searched for more information, my alarmbells went very loud!!! Then I saw this page and thank you every one for saving me!!! I send him an email that said that I got a lot of friends visiting me as they went for their police training. Funny enough I never heard of this Patrick Renard again.So indeed I was almost scammed!. I'lll be much wiser next time and I have learned a lot of beeing so naieve.Thanks again every one and take good care.
Hi there,
I, too got a fb-message from a certain scammer called Patrick Renard.
The message first went into my "other"folder on face-book and it would have been still there if my real friends did not send me Easter messages that also went into that folder.I sent him a short message and was surprised to get a long reply pouring out his heart..."his wife died from cancer, 15 year old son wants him to find a new wife.." the same well known stories. It sounded genuine enough for me to reply with my deepest sympathy for him etc. (LOL), stupidly telling him about my interests,my family.I thought that's it. Instead another message came along with photos and phone numbers...a loooong message again and again cluttered with grammar mistakes which I found irritating. Of course I did not give him my phone numbers... What the heck does he want? and who is this guy anyway? I happened to find out...and what I have had to read here makes sad reading! I feel sorry for those who went further....so please please don't be so gullible! It saves you a lot of trouble and money.
