i have been talking with kerrynelson218@yahoo.com whom I met on dating site. He's profile stated he was from Columbus, Ohio, was a widower and had a 16yr old daughter. Owns his house and buisness. Went to Nigeria to design and build a power plant. He told me he did not take enough funds with him to pay for the building materials and was not able to start the job. His daughter was with him. He needed me to send him money to come home. I told him I could get the ticket for them and he could pick it up at the airport in Lagos. He said that wouldn't work, he needed the cash sent by money gram. He was very persistent and was promised a great future for us. I finally gave in. I sent a total of $4,000 by money gram. He told me to send it to Ahmed Walek, phone # 234-802-956-7904 . The hotel man at the Gateway Hotel in Lagos on Airport Rd. This man would be able to get the cash from the moneygram and he would give him the cash. My friend did get the money, then today he said he was told by the immigration office he would need $6,000 for the BTA fees. This did not sound right and I didn't have the money to send. He kept insisting and I got offline with him after telling no several times. I want to alert everyone to the dangers of scams on the internet. When it doesn't make sense, it's not right. Think with your brain and not your heart. If you are willing to take the risk and send money, you have to know you will be throwing your money away. These people are pros and know how to get money from trusting, innocent, sweet people. They know who to prey on.

I have been talking to a man called Dave Bernhardt, then Christian Hernandez, and recently John Raymond from US Army on a dating site. I believe they are all the same. I talked to Dave Bernhardt on the phone, who claimed to be an Australian living in UK, working in oil rigs. He would come to Australia after purchasing diamonds in Dubai. He sent me even his travel itenerary from KLM and asked me to meet him at the airport. Then, he called me asked me to lend him $5000 to pay for the government tax in Dubai. I cut the ties with him. Later Christian Hernandez, with the same writing style, similar sort of story appeared. I cut the ties with him too. This morning he contactd me as John Raymond from US Army. Please don't believe any word he is saying. I saw this name on international fraud website, claiming that he is from US Army but lives in Bolton.
I have and still am in contact with John Raymond I would be very interested in knowing what dateing site you met him on and when.
Did he ask you for more money at all? He's on Facebook and yet he closed off his account last year But as of January 2012 he's back.
If you have his email address I would like to compare it to see if its what I have and any pics you may have. Just so I can be sure the John Raymond I know is the same. Or not.
This is my advice to anyone of you, for those of you who have been had, I apologise but you should please spread the word. Now, what you need to spread is not that all Nigerian are fraudsters but that they are some amongst us. For the others who have not been scammed, please, please, please, when ever you come across someone on the internet, no matter how good their story is, no matter how convincing their line is, DO NOT, EVER send money to anybody that you have not met in person. I beg you, help us put an end to this malaise.
Please, look up this link and see the silliness of these scammers; www.419eater.com
with a pittsburgh pa address and phone email me at Laurita211@msn.com
john g raymond is using primo4356@yahoo.com as his email he was also using gianni122@yahoo.com but now the email acct has been closed since my emails have been coming back. he got me for money and i would like to catch the creep so he doesnt scam any other women who fall head over heels in love with him
another man on yahoo to be aware of whom i met on singlesnet is cosmos dixon--he is a scam artist, saying he didnt bring
enough money with him to get his young daughter home to the us with him, always says he has a house in pennsylvania and california. talked to me for 5 months before finally asking me to borrow 10,000 to help him-left fast but was too stupid and got hit by another one
I refuse to send him anymore money, And did ask him to apply for a Transfer to me which he did and I have been notified from some one of his approved Transfer just a few days ago. But am told I am to pay 2050 pounds for the Governments to Transfer him as he's doing this on his own, The Army hasn't asked him to Transfer its his doing you see..
I do trust him But I just don't have that money to send. I will be the one careing for his welfare while he's under going his Resignation from the Army.. If you have a pic of your John Raymond that would be great so I can see whether we are talking about the same man at all.. If you want my private email address to do this just let me know on here.
That's not how the US Army works. You don't have to pay thousands of dollars to transfer: you apply and it's either approved or denied, end of story. You're being scammed. The easiest way to check on this would be to phone the base he's stationed at directly and confirm whether or not he is actually there.
Hi I have a email froma woman claiming to be from the U.S Penatgon in Washington telling me Officer Raymonds Transfer has been approved and it all seems quite legitament to me. But I am like you and think why should I have to be the one anyway in the first place to be paying for his Transfer fee. However Officer Raymond is in a London base waiting to settle his Resignation fee as its 20 grand apparently. And naturally I'm not going to pay that at all. But because he's leaving the army early apparently thats why he has to pay the vat on his resignation fee. Because he's applied for a Transfer on his own doing thats why I am the one liable for his welfare and Transfer fee. The Army isn't the one telling him to Transfer..
I'm still confused anyway and really don't know what to do.And he won't tell me the name of his Base he's residing in either. Thats what freaks me out..I am suppose to be sending this money for his Transfer to his Finance Office at the Base where he is staying in the U.K.
Tonight I have asked him for there details because I'm rather suspiscious all the time about him and his storys. Its going to be very interesting what i receive back from him.. I won't send any money until i have proof that he is legitament.
The emails i have now from the pentagon I wish iknew someone who could verify that there a real Army letter..How do you know about the army anyway ? do you have any contacts with them so I can check things out? Please help me if you can..
Hi again I meant to also say the fee for Officer Raymonds Transfer is 2050 Pounds being wellover 3 Grand Australian.
His resignation fee however is nearly 20 grand Aust Dollars , I have asked him also if he can send me his verification proof that he was given for his Transfer to Australia. But he never replies back to many questions I ask him. I refuse and will not send this man the money for his Transfer. And the email also says that if i cant pay the money I can re apply for another Transfer in 12 Months..
(saying me) Thats what I don't get.I'm not the one applying for a Transfer he is.. Why would she say me Being the one wanting to reapply?? Is that odd or is that how it goes?
I spoke to a friend whose father was in the army, this is what she said:
"I know from my dad that you do not pay anything to transfer or to get out of the military. They tell you when and where you are going and you do not get to choose. The military pays all of your moving expenses and a set amount per day during the transition for food. She is getting scammed."
Several others in the army also confirmed: this is a scam.
This is whats happening He is in the process of resigning and doesn't really do much work now in the Army except for gym workouts, he's been sent to the U.K to finalise his early resignation and has to pay a fee to be able to access his retirement pay. Plus he cannot leave there unless its paid.. he says its a certain amount and until its paid thats when and only when he can access it. And because we are so anxious to see each other I was the one who suggested if he can get a transfer to Australia instead of him staying in the U.K
He apparently put in a request and someone from the U.S Army emailed me and said I would be the one to be liable for his welfare here in Australia as he will be living with me not the Army base, But has to sign in to the base a few times a week. Plus because the Armys not the one who suggested he transfer its his own choice any responsibilities are up to him and as he cant access any money because he doesn't have his visa card as he has to renew it in the U.SA I am the one who has to pay for his Transfer. He would if he could but thats why you see. But apparently the Australian Army doesn't want to feel responsible for him while he's here because he's not coming here to work but to have somewhere to stay to finalise his resignation only. I have emails from a secretary in the U.S Finance department and if you knew someone who i can send them to to see if they can verify if there authentic It would be great,because I don't know any other way around this. to check into this propper. Its not just a basic Transfer more with a twist to it so to speak because of his circumstances in his early resignation..
I have been talking to a john w raymond for the last 4 months & Im wondering if we are talking to the same person. The only thing is that the john im talking says is in Kabul not London.

Well, after the broken hearteds, I decided to try my luck on
the net.
I registered on afrodating.com in search of a beautiful
woman for a soul mate.
Unforunately, my fate lied on the wrong person, i waked to
read a
message on the site from marylove from Ghana, a white lady
of 28yrs
old as She told me.
Her mum was a missionary and went to Afrixa with her and
could not
come back as the local Church needed their service and She
lives in a
mission home.
I fell for her when she sent me a gift on my birthday through
my postal address.
We decided to meet each other in real life and She demanded
money on
numerous occasion in coming to us.
I told her the game was over when she try to smuggle
product which i
knew nothing about it to the UK, as a surprised.
I lost nearly £18,000.00 to her and with assitance from a
close friend
of mine i reported the story to the cybercrimeoffice of
Ghana( info.ghanapolice at consultant. com ) and reports
received that
fraudster are been trace and my case would receive a
favourable
condition.
Am currently in Ghana where i have met officials of the Crime
Unit and
Police and hopefully these scammers will be brought to
justice.
The Officials of the crime unitt never requested money from
me.
Thank You
ANDY BOB.
