hello all,

he found me in craiglist..emaild wiht his photos in uniform..
a lot of sincere tlak of his background, and his expecations, then some sweet talk....sounded genuine

cut the story short...wanted to peak to him but have to be a member and pay $270 to do it..
so that was out fo the question for me..

didnt hear from him for a while, then he resurfaced 2 days ago..

said was away on mission ..asked that I request for his leave so he can come to see me

gave me email to ask ....

they replied asking me to pay for his trip ( [email protected] )

184.154.251.122 is a proxy IP used in scams and has also been used as a spam harvester or dictionary attacker. Anything that uses that one is entirely malicious. It is more often used by a bot.

This person is at it again, beware he is on Skout as "purple" with the picture in the suite. I've reported him on yahoo messenger as well. He's purpleadams02.
He's calling himself COL Tom Purple.

Welcome to ScamWarners pegula2000 , sadly, reporting him to the email provider does not stop him. It takes a few minutes for him to set up a new email account and continue scamming those he already has on his hooks and to keep going after other.

I do understand what you were trying to do. In our experience, it does not stop the scammer, and when the email address they had been using gets shut down, we lose a "handle" on them until they resurface with the new email address.

If you have questions please feel free to ask them here or send them to me or any other Moderator and we can explain more. Thank you for being a member here and showing that scammers keep popping up, even when their accounts are shut down.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

I met Col. Steven Purple on Zoock.
I fell for his sweet talk. I am a single lonely disable woman that hoped to find love but I ended up sitting in an airport waiting for him.
I send him £798. this was my saving and my benefit money. I went without so I could be with him.
He now has a 17 year old Son called Oscar.

Welcome to Scamwarners cuddlies and I regret that you have had to suffer so much to have your hopes shattered so badly. Above even the financial loss, the emotional harm and damage to your own self-worth can be much worse, and having the courage to tell your story is something for which you should be applauded.

Nothing I, or anyone else, can say will take away the anguish and hurt, but the worthless scum who did this to you is someone who would not make your life better and, though he never set out to do anything but deceive you, the greater tragedy would have been if he formed a part of your life. These people really are vermin of the worst sort and the person you imagined does not exist except in your imagination.

Beware, because it's unlikely he'll let go of you easily no matter how little money you may have. He will take anything you have and even persuade you to take out loans if he can.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle

Well everyone I just found this site looking for Steve Purple. So I signed up. Beware it is 2016 and he is still out there. He contacted me through Tinder dating app. Did not let it get far befor I blocked and reported him.
