Information on romance scams and scammers.

Collins Kellogg is the name used by a scammer who targets, specifically, gay men who are looking for love or friendship. Having gained their confidence, he develops a financial need and asks for money to be sent to him. He is from Togo and as homosexuality is illegal there, he preys on the fact that gay men from countries with more freedom will feel sympathy for his situation and want to assist him.

Be aware that everything he writes is lies. He has also run other scams and has also posed as a heterosexual man seeking a female partner. He is not interested in any sort of relationship or even friendship: the only thing he is interested in is stealing money from you. If the money is not sent to him and he does not believe he can change your mind about this, he may drop contact.

He has used these email addresses:

His IP address is usually:

41.207.162.1
41.207.162.2
41.207.162.3
41.207.162.4
41.207.162.5
41.207.162.6 or
80.248.71.115


Here are some emails he has sent, scamming as a gay man:

Sorry for writing late. we have internet connexion problem here in Lome,Togo since friday till this monday morning. They just restore it this morning, I'm very sorry for that. I read your mail with carefulness and the contents is well understoood.
I am ready to settledown with someone who is honest, sincere, decipline and God fearing one but I am not a desperate guy. what I dont like in a person is opposite of what I have just listed above. I dont want someone who is into games etc...
I was born in Gambia, Gambia is english speaking country in africa. My Dad as a Minister of God was post in gambia church when my mum was pregnant for me. I was born twice, one girl and one baby boy which is me. I did my premarry and secondary schools there before coming down to my home town in Lome,Togo do my university. I have just finish my university, I am unemployed. hope to get good job one day to take care of myself and the family.
It is very difficult to get job here. our leaders are curropt, the rate of crimes and curroptions here in africa increase everyday by day. the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. I hate the life in africa,I'm sorry to say this but that is the truth.



My twice sister is called blessing and still single. she is with my parents, as a minister children we are to be example to others as our parents use to tell us all the time. we are advice not to be equal york with an unbelievers. We are not allowed to drink alcohol, smook, drug, fight, stealing or puting on make ups.
yes my dad and mum is still alive, my dad is 61 years while my mum is 52years. he is pastoring a church called End Time Gospel Mission in Gambia.
The case in africa is curroption and that is the problem of the whole thing. weather you are a graduate or not does not matter here in africa. what matters is that if you can offer them brib or you have someone there in the government then you can work with his influence.
Stay well in body and in spirit!! Collins



We have 42 local languages in Togo but we speak Ewe here in Lome as the heart of the town we speak many language such as French as the first langauge,Dutch,English etc....but you must see some one who speak the same language. yes, we have the bigest market in west africa,people from many country use to come to lome Grand Marche to transact their business and they are happy and doing well. we have free port and that have creat rooms for people shiping their goods here in lome and have good sales. our free port have also creat rooms for drug traficking and I dont like that though. We have many white men here from all over the world most especialy Lebanon's,china,germany,Uk,France etc...
I like cooking. if you are to visit lome, the first african food i will like to prepare for you is Fufu with gaot meat soup with enough paper.I'm sure you will like it. it is highly nutritional. we have all sort of fruits here.
I dont think my parents worry about me not geting married yet, I have just finish my university and I have no work to take care of myself and the family. I think they will be worry when I get a job with a good salary they will be worry by that time for me to get marriage and settle down as a man. they are not worry now just because i am unemployed.
of caurse I dont want to settle down here in africa,I want to travel out to oversea to live my life to the fullness. I am using public computer and my time is almost ending, got to go now, will talk to you soon. if you want to hear my voice you can ring me here +228 998 01 39. best wishes and please take care and May God richly bless you. your friend in Lome, Togo
