I would love to know the real details, if anyone can tell me I would appreciate it.

It's unlikely we'll have any real life details for a scammer, but we might know some related aliases, or other scams he's linked to.

If you post the initial emails with headers, we might be able to find out a bit more.

Is there a way to do a reverse phone lookup for the phone numbers listed?

You can look it up with this tool: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=ana ... ub=phonenr

It won't give you the name of the person who owns it but it gives a little bit of info:

For +2348073444004

Number billable as mobile number
Country or destination Nigeria
City or exchange location
Original network provider* Globacom Ltd

So, it's a Nigerian cellphone. No surprise there.

Hi Dontbi

Welcome to Scamwarners

Could you please provide us with as much information as you can on this scammer, the more you can provide the better, this guide will give you an idea of what is useful to us viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3561


I have done a bit of searching and found a profile that appears to be from the same person, I dont know if the details here are the same but it would not at all be unusual for the same scammer to have different information on various profiles

From this profile Click Here

I`m a romantic and tender Man but it never bothers me from having fun with friends and living very active life!! I`m loving and caring, and I feel so lonely without somebody very s... more

There is also this

- 41 y/o male
- pennsylvania, USA
- English, English, English
- self employed
- Have 1 children

"Have 1 children" and he does say he is English 3 times

I then did a search on some of the content of that profile and found somebody else using the same wording on their profile take a look by Clicking here
where you will see this line "I`m a romantic and tender Man but it never bothers me from having " exactly the same as that profile.

You may find the guide we put together on how to spot a Romance scammer useful, you can see that by clicking on this link viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3607

If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask

The top profile is the same picture he sent me. I would love to know who the man in the picture is and ask how would I know if my photo is being misrepresented, as well?

This information is the same he gave me. He claimed to be a sculpture working on a contracted project in Africa. He said he lived in an apartment, with his son in York, Pennsylvania. Divorced 6 years because his wife cheated on him, attended weekly services and claimed to be christian. He did not care for the club scene as this was not his type. He claimed to have a heavy spanish accent because his father was spanish. He was not close to his family, aside from his son who was enrolled in a private school in Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria.

The picture could be stolen from any one of a number of places, the only thing I can say for sure is that it is not the person you have been writing to.

The claims about his "spanish accent is just to cover for his Nigerian accent

If you have them, the early emails will be a huge help to post here

I cannot find any. I looked for the messages on the site he contacted me on, myyearbook.com and could not find them in my messages although I did not delete them.
