Both of the mobile numbers are actually VoIP numbers.

Please post some of the emails that you have received from this individual, including the one where you were asked to pay for the WiFi.

What is VoIP?

I am new to this

Basically with internet access you can call, answer and text any where in the world.

What is VOIP
Introduction

VOIP is an acronym for Voice Over Internet Protocol, or in more common terms phone service over the Internet.
If you have a reasonable quality Internet connection you can get phone service delivered through your Internet connection instead of from your local phone company.

Some people use VOIP in addition to their traditional phone service, since VOIP service providers usually offer lower rates than traditional phone companies, but sometimes doesn't offer 911 service, phone directory listings, 411 service, or other common phone services. While many VoIP providers offer these services, consistent industry-wide means of offering these are still developing.

He tells me he uses this Internet provider because it's the cheapest way to call and communicate because he could be placed anywhere at work.

What about the email addresses?

He has also given me his 2 home addresses however I don't want to publish these at the moment incase he is not a scammer as that would be unfair.

Is this email address meant to belong to a company? A legitimate company would not be using a free Gmail email address.

Also, what is his name and his son's name? The email addresses that you have given are good proof that you are dealing with a scammer, and the names will confirm it.

He is James Bruce and his son is Joshua Bruce but at school he gets called Smithy, his daughter is Jennifer Bruce.

He has an Instagram account Brucejames164

If this person is not a scammer, i feel guilty for posting their details on this website, I wouldn't like it done to me

If you think you've been contacted by a scammer, this is the right place to ask for help. The more you can tell us about the email or contact you've had, the better we can assist.

Please start a new topic here in the help forum rather than adding to someone else's.

Here are some important points about posting which will enable us to help you more effectively:

Your Safety
Safety is our top priority here. For your safety was ask that you don't post your own personal details. Please remove your name, address, email address, and phone number from any emails before posting them.
Note: If your username is your real name, please send a private message to an administrator to request a name change.

Helping us to help you
When posting information about scammers, every detail helps! Please try to include as much of the following as possible:

• All email addresses used in the scam, including those of the scammer and any other individual, agency, or company involved.
• The early emails you have received, and any emails requesting money (important: remove your personal details first).
• All phone numbers and fax numbers used in the scam.
• Any websites the scammer has referred you to.
• The pictures used (Click Here to learn how to post a picture). Note: Please do not post nude or pornographic photos.
• A description of the scam
• Usernames and profiles they use that you are aware of (for facebook or myspace pages).
• The details, as above, for any other person (doctor, lawyer, banker, reverend, friend or family member) who you have been referred to as part of the scam. In all likelihood, these people will be actually be impersonated by the same scammer.

If you can, please post the headers from the email you have received. Headers contain useful information about the email and importantly, often show where it came from.

How to find the headers for your email provider

Please remove your own personal information such as email address and name out of the header and the rest of the post.

What if the person is not a scammer?
Many of our visitors may be reluctant to post the details of the person who is asking them to send money for fear that it may be an innocent person. We too are very concerned about ensuring that no innocent people are listed here. If there is evidence to suggest that someone listed here may be innocent, we will either remove or clarify the thread as necessary. If the thread is removed, it will be posted publicly if we do find that the person is indeed a scammer.

@Stinkypinky

You will learn he is a scammer when you come to your prior beliefs. You would not have came here if you had no doubt.

Your ultimate lesson will be losing money to a thief.

Bottom line. Either you will listen to your inner thoughts or go broke. It is your money and you spend it as you wish.

You are questioning the scammer about what we say here. Scammers are thiefs and lie for a living.

This is a stupid scammer response. I will not tell you why, because you will simply tell him.

He tells me he uses this Internet provider because it's the cheapest way to call and communicate because he could be placed anywhere at work.

Victims do not realize that scammers will use the same script over and over again. On occasion they will change parts of the script. The email address and name sometimes will stay the same or minor changes.

The script may change also on names or how the spouse died.

So many Bruce James Scams.

Here is a few. So many more. https://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=287596

This one sentence is enough to tell me that the "person" using email address [email protected] is a West African who has almost certainly never been to the US (or any other English speaking country for that matter).
