This scammer was on 50star – a dating site for disabled people. Many disabled people are extra-vulnerable because our appeal is to a more limited range of people.

I was unable to get his picture, but he uses the picture of a Caucasian man.

This is his profile on the site:

Thank you for posting here Holly,

I will point out that these pictures have been stolen and the person in the pictures is not likley to know about how his photos are being used to scam people

This is the picture he most comonly uses on dating profiles

And here is another picture he uses

He will also use a photo of the same person on a boat and another in a stable with a horse.

He will claim to have a young son and is likely to show you his pictures as well. The usual picture which could change is of 2 children opening a present it is titled "Demian and mike"

His scam will vary to suit but he will usually tell you his son has been in an accident and needs life saving surgery for which he will have to pay, of course his money will be tied up and he will ask to borrow money from you to pay for this operation to save his sons life.

Of course it is all lies designed to encourage you to part with your cash, he will attempt to make you feel gulty if you dont pay and will acuse you for his sons death if you dont pay him any money.

I say again, it is all lies, this is an African man using stolen pictures from an internet cafe in Africa in an attempt to steal money and he has absolutely no remorse for those he steals from
He has profiles on quite a few sites including Gay and disabled dating sites, if you still have doubts just ask and we can point you to further proof that he is a scammer
