Information on romance scams and scammers.
#4824 by lukatit Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:30 am
I feel like such a fool for being duped by this guy for as long as I was, he is a very slick customer, I at least had to presence of mind to have him checked out by a private investigater before sending any money. He is very slick and unlike most scam artists he does read your emails to him, he answers some of the content of your email to him but not answer direct questions. Having not found him on any known scam databases I thought I would post here all that I can in order to help avoid someone elses heart, mind and bank balance from being damaged. Below you will find his emails and pictures sent to me in the order they were received, along with a copy of the background check performed on him and a copy of his fake passport.

It is very beautiful country, I read about it in books much.
By the way I and did not speak about books to you that I like to read. Basically I read a fantasy and novels.
When you get a grasp and you understand all essence of product to be
immersed in the world, that world that to us the writer represents, with you such was not???
Last book which I have read it there was a War and World N.A.Tolstogo, you
know this product??? This very well-known product of marks of times and peoples.
Many read it, I read it already second time, I very much like this book so it is
beautifully told about love and the truth about that war that was in those years, it is very beautiful book.
Unfortunately I did not read any book in English because to me did not come across such books though I very much would like to read even one.
You can translate the texts, I understand all, but I will write to you in English well??? I want that I had a practice!!!!
I very much love sports, I from the childhood went to Rugby football, I very assiduously was engaged acted at many school competitions, but then I
have thrown it and was engaged in track and field athletics, now I visit a training hall and in the mornings I do jog, I want to hold the body in the form.
But I very much am pleasant like football and Rugby football on the TV when
there are championships we with friends gather and together we look them, it is very cheerful. I think so many people all over the world do.
I did not speak you about one my hobby, it is fishing. You like to fish???
It is very interesting, we very much frequently go with friends on the river to fish. At us the river Volga proceeds, probably you know it, there there is a
lot of fish, certainly it too is difficult for catching, but very interesting.
Sometimes it is necessary to rise early in the morning approximately at 4 o'clock in the morning then still all city sleeps, but there are more chances to
catch a lot of fish, I very much love a fish, by the way my mum is very tasty
can to prepare for her, I too study is tasty to prepare for me my mum learns!!!

Letter 4

Thanks for your letter my friend [REMOVED].

The my dear friend I is very glad to receive your letter)) As your mood?
You know, right after that as I have read your letter, to me it became very joyful on a shower, even when I have seen it I already was glad.

My friend I wished to ask you what films you love???
Romantic or fantastic, adventure???
I like all kinds of this genre and I look films on mood. But most of all I like a film ⌠Latter Days■.
It was a beautiful film.
It is about two gay guys that met each other in a complex where they both
stay. Due to circumstances they could not be together and one guy left the
city and moved to another city far from each other. They still love each
other over that distance and keep on thinking of each other. As time
passes, they meet up again, that was so beautiful.
You saw it a film, this very beautiful cinema.
My friend and you love what music???
I love music that it did my day more cheerfully and more vigorously.
When at me bad mood I listen to lyrical music, you know I I plunge into these histories which I hear in songs and I forget that world that surrounds me and I understand that a life very good thing. To me it becomes very good.
Very well that in sew lives there is a music after all without it there would be no much that we now have, so it not seems to you?
By the way and you are able to play any musical instrument? I play a guitar, I in the childhood studied and now even I compose songs, but nobody hears them except my friends, but it very much is pleasant to them:))) Can be when I will play also to you:))

I wish to ask you, what you search in relations between two people??
I consider that first of all it there should be a love, whether not so? Sex is certainly very important in relations, but it will not be such bright and not forgetting if two persons do not love each other.
I think that you will be agree with me, but all the same write that you think of it to me it will be interesting to know, after all only so we can find out each other better.
You know I very much would like to write to you still, but unfortunately I should go home, but I will come tomorrow and to write to you well???

Private investigators report:
BASIC BACKGROUND CHECK RESULTS

Something is wrong here.

I can't find the person named " Aleksey Kanashin", DOB 12/29/1978 in Saransk town, Mordovia Republic, Russia !!

The address "21 Sverdlova Str., Saransk, 430032" is a tenement house.
The building has 42 different flats. The person named "Aleksey Kanashin" does not live there.

He is the known scam artist!

We've checked his profile as "Aleksey Kanashin, DOB 12/29/1978 from Cheboksary city, Chuvashia
Republic, Russia" two months ago for another customer.
His home address was "12 Gagrina street, Cheboksary, 428017" (also bogus).

We've received the copy of his Russian passport (ID) by request. You can see it in attachment.
I've checked this passport through the database of Main Passport-VISA
Department Russian MVD and got the following result:
"The passport's number 88 03 081088 was never issued in Russian
Federation. The copy passport you have supplied is a forgery - it is
not printed in the format we use."

Most scammers lie about the city they live in. They do that to mislead the victims about their true identity.

We have found these scammer's real location. They send the e-mails from Yoshkar-Ola city, Mari-El Republic.
But the person named "Aleksey Kanashin, DOB 12/29/1978 is not available in Yoshkar-Ola city also.

I advice you to cease the correspondence with scammers.


Sincerely,
Michael

Mod edit - edited to mark the passport as fake - SP

My thanks to the administrators of this website for making it posssible to inform all you guys and girls out there, we need to do all we can to combat this type of heartless souless crime.

Hi and welcome Lukatit,

I am glad you realised it was a scam before you lost money, the scam you have described is certainly uncommon but not at all out of the realm of possibility for a Russian scammer.

The African scammers will try anything you could imagine and a few you couldn't as well but the Russians dont normally venture too far from the norm.

Probably explains why you couldn't find much on it.

Just out of curiosity I will have a look to see what I can find but a good tip for you for future reference is rather than using a private investigator is to create a new email address with all fake details and ask if he would be interested in getting to know you, if you get replies and in most cases you will then you can easily determine if it is a scam.

The even simpler method usually comes only after you are emotionaly attached and that is if they have asked you to send money.

I will edit if and when I find anything of interest

Here we go, the first search has revealed something

If other searches fail we will then try searching on parts of their script, here is an interesting result involving a scam which may well be the same person using a different identity, for a search result on "My dear, I learned as I can receive your help with money, to me have " Click Here

Although a search on "right after that as I have read your letter, to me it became very joyful on a shower" didn't show an exact result the hits are non the less very telling Click Here

An exact search on his name Click Here

And anoither result by searching on some of the script in the last email Click Here

It seems the money request email has given me the most hits, an educated guess is that this scammer also scams as a woman but has a relatively new script for scamming as a gay man.

A completely uneducated guess is that Gay men may be less enclined tell their story which would inadvertantly help the scammer to continue on his thieving way.

If you ever have doubts about anybody in the future, please feel free to ask and I am sure one of us could check it out for you before going to the expense of using a private investigator.

Thank you for posting, there is every chance that you will prevent somebody from falling victim to these vermin by telling your story here.

Finally, you should have no shame in being taken for a ride by this person, they are professional thieves and are mostly very good at what they do, unfortunately there are many out there who are not as observant as you have been in this case and many lose a lot of money as well as their heart and trust

#4826 by Jillian Tue Sep 02, 2008 12:59 pm
Hi Lukatit! Welcome here.

Thank you for that very thorough post. The information you have put up here may very well help someone else from becoming a victim to this scammer.

Excellent for you that you checked it out before you got even further involved. Well done.

Lastly, if you could add an email address for him to this thread, that would also show up in searches of potential victims.
#4831 by lukatit Wed Sep 03, 2008 2:21 am
Well I do have a slight confession to make, I did not get out of this totally without cost to myself, I had purchased a gold ring for him which I was going to give him when he got here. I had sent it away to be enscribed but managed to stop it in time, luckily it fits one of my fingers so I shal be wearing it now as a reminder not to be so hasty next time.
The email address he used to contact me is: [email protected]

#4832 by Ralph Wed Sep 03, 2008 4:27 am
^^Bad news that you had spent money but good news that you now have a gold ring to show for it. Considering what other scam victims have been through you have gotten out of this OK.

Your heart will mend as will your bank account and now you know the signs and where to get help if you are unsure, I have to think that is a good outcome :wink:

Thanks for posting the details, as I said earlier, there is a good chance you have prevented another person or persons from being scammed in the future by what you have done so remember that every time you look at the ring as well :)

Thanks Ralph! Until you mentioned it I had never thought to search key lines of text from the emails, thats something I wont forget to to do in the future, I was amazed at the amount of hits that produced. Well your quite right about the ring it will serve as a constant reminder to me not to dive in at the deep end again so quickly.

Aleksey is alive and well at [email protected]

He's had a facelift and a change of hair colour and he's still mixing his genders but expressing perfect contractions (I'd, we'd, they'll - the very things a non-native English speaker would get wrong), and professing not to be the least interested in sex, only in finding the perfect man...

Steer clear.

Hello my friend [removed] I want to say that I was happy when I see your answer.
I am very glad that you like my photos, you do not want me you had sent me more pictures?
I am the son of your neighbor will soon learn how to drive. We all started badly. I think you would put me 3 out of 10 when I first got behind the wheel. Lol
Yes, I can come to Nizhny Novgorod. It is 400 kilometers away. When are you going there?
How did you spend today is the day? I hope you're OK. I write to you as soon as I have free time. It is very interesting to learn more about you. I get pleasure from communication you.
My friend [.] you go to church? Do you often go there? My friend [.] I Orthodox and sometimes I go to church.
My dear, tomorrow will be a special master class for bartenders. I will definitely go for it, as the bartender to come from Moscow. I can learn many new things.
How is your job? I hope you are well.
My dear, tell what food you love? Which cuisine do you prefer? You know how to cook? I want to say that I know how to cook, but I do not always turn out ... I would be just as interesting to learn about food from your local cuisine. In Russia many people like to cook dumplings, soup, pancakes. Have you tried this dish?
My dear, I now close my letter because I have to work. I'll wait for your answer.
Aleksey

He's popped up again!

I recently received an email from a "Mike Williams" he seemed nice enough, he introduced himself, asked me to get back if I was interested.

How are you today dear? Hope ok. Sorry for my late reply i have been very busy. My job took most of my time.i am into the Sales of Sculptures , beeds , gold,well befor i forgot right now i am out of UK i am presently in kuala lumpur Malaysia for a business trip which will end in three day now.. you know! Really am attracted to you and write to know you more. Please tell me what you likes and what you dislikes, I love being honesty and attentive at each others good and bad times! i came out from a good combination of two,my Mom is from Ireland while Dad is a uk.I am the one and only child of my parent, i will count it ,I have a big Family because i dont know much about my mum family in Ireland while my Dads part is very small...Unfortunatly i lost my dad in a car accident, this happened about 8years ago,and my mother I am afraid she is not having a good relationship with me since she disliked me when she found out I was a gay year now. She will not understand how normal and wonderful I feel inside for my love as a gay. I do not even expect her to understand since she is not one!since then i have started to live my life by myself and not depending on my family, although i still miss my Mom because of the courage and advises she use to give to me about life , but i am glad i am whom i am today.but right now i am ready to relocate to any where in the world I don't worry about what people think of me...I know how to treat a man well still yet...

I am really interested in wanting to know about what makes you the special person you are today, I want to know more about your family, your background, your life experiences, past relationships, your goals and dreams, your interests, and anything else you want to tell me. I even want to learn about the secrets you very rarely share with someone!. So come on and share it all with me, as I am not here to talk to you about general things such as partying, the weather, sports, e.c.t. I want to learn about you and what makes up your heart and soul, as the friendship I want to build with you I want it to be like no other you have ever shared in or experienced. This friendship I want to build with you will be filled with substance, quality, spirituality and potential.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!.

A couple of alarm bells went off, one being the fact that English was clearly his second Language yet he was claiming to be Irish/English.

So I Google imaged the picture he'd sent me, and this post came up at to the top. The lazy get hasn't even changed the pictures he uses haha.

I'm really glad you posted this, I wouldn't have continued conversation with him anyway, but it's good to know my intuition was right.

Now I know he's a little scam artist however, I plan to waste his time, tell him how unbelievably "rich" my parents are and how much "money" I have ha.

Another point--It's not the same scammer continuing with the original photos. You have a different scammer who is using the same stolen photos. It does happen.

The scammer originally using those photos was a Russian/FSU-based scammer, and the English was definitely consistent with that claim.

The English in your post and the basic intro are 100% African. So basically an African scammer stole an Eastern European scammer's photos. Guess there really is no honor among thieves!

The one thing that is most likely true is that he is in Malaysia, as there is a large cell of Nigerian romance scammers operating out of Malaysia.

I'll definitely have a look at that site, you mentioned, was only made aware of this site through the google image result.

I hadn't considered it not being him, makes sense though really.

Can't believe there are people doing this, what's more is some people would probably fall for it.

Ha definitely no honour among theives.

I asked for his number but he just said

"The reason I am going to write a letter rather than just send a message is because I am serious about wanting to establish a quality friendship with you, and because of the fact I rarely contact anyone on here, so when I do you can be rest assured I am serious about my intentions."

I don't have the patience to bait him to be honest, whoever it is. I'll ask once more for a phone number wait for a reply, then that will probably be my Scambaiting days over ha.
