which she fell for and was paying cash in to western union transfare to some1 in malaysia every 2 weeks as she is on benifits and cant afford much , i found out back at the end of june /start of july and managed to get the money she had transfared that day back as i had found out an hour after she transfaired it ,

after i thought i had convinced her this was a scam as i showed her this websight and a few posts of people being scammed this way, she agreed this was stupid ect and agreed not to contact him again and ignore him ,

but he managed to wiggle his way in, 6-9 weeks later from what i can see he got some one a DOCTOR smith from sunway medical center in malayse to ring her and tell her he was in a bad car crash and needed money urgently to do the opperation or he would die of corse she fell for it, but actually e mailed the real hospital and asked was there a patint under her mans name which of course there wasnt and they told her that, i dont know what was said by the doctor over phone ( prob he was under a diff name ) but it convinced her and she paid what ever money

she was in contact with this doctor through [email protected] and as far as i can see paid 150 euro weekly to them for medical expences, through western transfare although i dont know the details in december he told her he had ran away from the usa army and wanted to come live with her but needed money for a flight which she paid 700 euro
of course he wasnt alowed on that flight as he had needed a certifficate that costs 600 euro to prove he is well enough to fly which she saved for 5 weeks to get,

thats when i found out again, he has been very decieving to her and asking her to get the money any way she can , lye steal from mum, pretend she isnt in contact with him any more , ect i dont know what to do as i know she is still in contact with him today and wont believe us even though she said she believves he is fake and a scammer , but he has told her to say that to us and to ignore us as he wants to b with her ect

how do i makke her realize he is a scammer and to stop all contact with him

Yes lalalots12, indeed it is a grubby scammer. The military TS2 phone scam has been around since 2010 from what I can see. You can find the previous post at viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6417&p=24285 that is on the same subject.
Also the email address is all wrong because usa.com is just a free email address from mail.com that anyone can use. And the military use far different email addresses. Another TS2 scam is here, viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7834&p=40740. The pamela jones name is a well known scammer identity I'm afraid.
Maybe calmly sit down in front of the computer screen and show her the above mentioned pages. Is there another trustworthy family member who could advise her to wake up? Please don't distance yourself from her because when the realisation sets in, she will need help and support. It's a terrible situation to find oneself.

Welcome lalalots12. I'm so sorry to hear what you and your sister are going through. It can be very difficult for victims to admit to themselves that they're being scammed, let alone admit it to their family and friends.
Can you try to get her to read the topics here which explain this exact scenario as a scam?
Additionally, she could contact any of our support team to get private feedback and advice about her situation. It may be easier for her to have a private conversation with a stranger, who will help her investigate the information she has.
Any of us are willing to help and would keep her information confidential.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492

Hello lalalots12!
 
I am very sorry to hear your sister is being scammed. If it has gone on for a year the scammer has had plenty of time to create a fantasy world for your sister that will be hard for her to accept is a lie. Your sister is only a source of income to the scammer but to her he is her boyfriend. It’s common for a romance scam victim to want to believe fantasy as opposed to reality even if they have some doubts and have been warned.
 
The only way to stop it is for her to believe it’s a scam and stop communicating with the scammer. He has made money off of her and will not want to give up easily. He will continue to lie and do what ever it takes to steal her money.
 
Do you have any additional information on the scammer? Email address or pictures? We may be able provide more proof he is a scammer.
 
Justin

I forgot about his e mail adress , I'll post it up In a few, I also have some pix he sent her at the start 2 but don't know how to attach them here, my aunt in America is trying to talk to her as she would b the voice of reason in the family and my sister trusts her more , Iv showed get a topic here before about the pamalla person but it took no effect ,

I know she has fallen deeply for this scammer and it upsets me as she is a wonderfull person but just Lonly and was always a v privet person it took alot for her to tell me in the first time , it's not even the money I care about its just the fact she has fallin so hard and truly believes this scammer loves her , wants to marry her and is comming to live with her, and I don't want to c her hurt as she is v fragile and Likley to do silly things when she realizes how much she was taken for a ride

Hi lalalots12. Maybe show your sister the scam warning on the TS2 webpage? There are many of other examples shown there too. I do hope your Aunt can calmly sit down and show your sister that she is only heading toward a bloody big fall if she continues dialogue with the scammer. And if she trusts your Aunt, it may be the salvation that's needed.
It does not love your sister, would have no warm feelings at all, would be in-capable of loving a woman and she is only being used as a revenue raising source. It's too late now she's sent the documentation, but there is a good chance it will not be used for any untoward activity. In many instances, it makes the scammer seem more real. I can assure you topics in the forums are connected to scammers and innocent people are not highlighted at all.
