I have just been alerted to this scammer via a victim. Posting his name and email address for now, and hopefully his victim will forward along his romance format shortly. This scammer typically is engaged in inheritance frauds, but soon moves to a romance scam format. IP address for his other email shows Nigeria origin, mainly Lagos.
