Welcome Behrel,

If you are in contact with the man calling himself Johnson McGraft, there is absolutely NO DOUBT. He is a scammer. He may or may not have used the same photos--but if he used the same email address, it is 100% certainty.

This particular scammer will continue to claim to be real in hopes that he can once again convince you. He has claimed (depending on the profile) a variety of locations, including Austin, Texas; Ohio, and even on a damaged ship being threatened by pirates!

Here is one photo he has used in the past, but he may very well have changed photos.

If you are still uncertain, you can post some of the messages he sent you here, and we can tell you whether the writing is Afrian.

There is no good way to say this, so I'm going to have to be blunt here, and I'm sorry for that.

During the time he was supposedly in a relationship with you, he was declaring his love to at least one other woman.
He wrote this to the other woman at the end of January:
My love please be fast about it... i don't want any thing to stop me from seeing you my dream wife soon, praying that nothing happens to us I LOVE YOU NOW AND ALWAYS MY SWEETHEART ..KISSSES.
The other woman dropped him when he started the money requests and that's when the name and address were posted here. It is very likely that there were others too; usually only a small percentage of targets proceed to a "relationship," and even fewer post their experiences, so for every one that posts there are typically several more who don't.

So if he were real, he would be a liar and a cheat who is carrying on multiple relationships at the same time. But it goes far beyond that. The man you think you love does not exist. There is NO "Johnson Mcgraft." There is only a young African man, sitting at a computer in Africa, approaching random women with stolen photos and fake words. He uses photos of a mature Caucasian man, but in reality, he is a young black man from Africa who doesn't know the man in the photos at all. He makes his living off these fake relationships. To him, this whole thing is a business. The women he targets are nothing more than a means to an end, and everything he says, from beginning to end, is a lie.

He has a standard formula for his scams. He starts an interaction with the women he targets and often claims to be swept off his feet. He uses (often copied) romantic words and promises of a wonderful future. These words mean nothing to him--he has simply learned that these are the words that will get him money. Then, once he thinks his victim is in love, the emergencies start. There is a crisis, and he needs your help, now. He needs your money, or he needs to send you a package and/or his money (this is leading to the money request, because you will be contacted that you have to pay some kind of fees when the package is in route to you.) Of course, in reality, this makes no sense. If he really were a successful international traveler, even if he didn't have any family, he would have friends, business contacts, an attorney, and an embassy he could contact. He would not need to be going to a woman he had only known for a few months. If you refuse to send the money, or start asking too many questions, he will turn it around on you, trying to make you feel guilty for doubting him. He may then claim that he got the money somewhere else, and for a while he will go on with the fake relationship. But in reality, he is just backing off long enough to "hook" you again. When he thinks he has done that, he will more to the next scenario to get money from you.

If you confront him, he will either get very angry, or stay in character. He will deny being a scammer for so long that you will be tempted to believe him. In reality, all this means is that he still thinks that he will be able to get money from you in the future, so he is going to keep trying. There is no end to the lies he will tell.

I have seen some of his emails. I can tell you with certainty that the person writing those letters is African. If you post some of the emails he wrote here (or forward to my email address in my signature) I can give you further guidance--but right now, the important thing is to get out of this fake relationship now. There is a link in my signature for victims of romance scams--I strongly recommend that you read it.

I can tell you more because he is still hunting women/ victims. So much for relationship, Eh? He is an utter liar.
He is used to getting caught so he blocks profile comments, but I go for deletion with a report,shortly. He still uses the photo above but I add two more.

dianne67 Please post any email addresses you have and messages. He has not deleted his profiles elsewhere, Scammers don't do that. Thing is they are such liars, and will tell you anything, truth is he got busted for scamming and got deleted. Sometimes they will say it's because they "met you". "Met you" is scammer speak for seeing a profile in Internet when most of us think it is a face to face matter. They use language different to us all to hide lies and thieving to make it easier to get money. Again of course he continued lying and trying to scam others as well as you, and got deleted.
Rgardless of who someone is on web, mention needing money and Western Union etc it's a scam attempt People who send no money ever, never get scammed, aside from having emotional pain inflicted on them sometimes. We must have the other photos, upload to www.scamwarners.com and when you post copy the link here. Most often you should see img and /img between square brackets from the box above the text box. Water mark the pics and remove personal data from what else you post.

My sweetheart,
Thank you so much for the last mail it kept my heart strong knowing fully well that my heart is there for me ...My love I just want to inform you that we got to the Island about 2 hours ago. Thanks for your prayers and your sincere concern over my safety. Right now, the situation is not yet ok. We have been advised by the Coast Guards here in the island that we should make sure we don,t have or carry any precious or valuables things with us, if we must proceed on our journey. This also includes money and other valuable things. My greatest problem now is that all the money I took from my Bank for my personal business transaction when i got back to the state are with me here on the ship. These are money that was meant for my personal crude oil transactions when I get to our destination country in the states, before we diverted our route right now to dock for safety. Now, I understand that there are so many Security Company stands at the Island shore and I am thinking of what to do, and at this time I need you to stand by me now. I don't know what to do now; but I want to quickly send you the money so that you can help me to secure it into your Bank account until I will be able to make my trip and meet you as we we plan earlier...

I have to trust you and give you my whole heart, and I know you will never disappoint or hurt me because I know you care for me. I have learned to take life as it comes as I remember everything happens for a reason maybe this stands as a test to our relationship my love... I have just discussed with one of the Security Companies here in the Island because there are no Banks here. They will proceed delivery immediately I get a confirmation from you to assist me in receiving this money because I understand there is no Bank here and I don't want to loose the money to sea pirates. Please quickly send me your information so that I can send the money to you immediately through the Malaysia pacific securities berhad (MPSB) here in the Island. I will urgently want you to send me the following information to enable me send the money now.
YOUR FULL NAMES:
HOUSE ADDRESS:
STATE,ZIP CODE:

My love please be fast about it... because this is very urgent. I am waiting for your quick response, here in the office of the courier company. Please honey, I need your prayers this time because I'm in a state of confusion even here in the island and i don't want any thing to stop me from seeing you my dream wife soon, praying that nothing happens to us I LOVE YOU NOW AND ALWAYS MY SWEETHEART ..KISSSES.

Sincerely Yours.
Johnson

My sweetheart ,
Good morning my love ,how are you and our kids doing ?i hope you are fine and ok for me ...Honey I just wish to inform you that all is not well at this moment. I am in a state of confusion praying that God help us in the ship here because we are in danger. Our ship has developed a major fault here in the Indian ocean and we are now moving at a very slow pace, being propelled by the wave. The brain box of our ship has been partially damaged. Right now, we just received information from the Signal house that there are sea Pirates sailing towards us. They are about 1,645 nautical miles away from us. We have just diverted our route towards Labuan Island, somewhere along the Indian ocean to dock for safety. From our location, it will take us another 23 hours or thereabout to get to the Island. Pray for me that nothing happens to us because these Pirates are Killers. We do not know what will happen next. Please honey take good care of yourself until am able to communicate with you, when we get to the Island love you so much honey and i cant wait to be there with you...
God willing.
Johnson
