Hello,
I am from Panama and met "Capt. Ventura" funny weird name for a Brit.... on Badoo.

Every time i told him, how come you know about me,and i have never seen you going into my profile he would change the subject.

My first red flag was when I told him one day, your english does not seem to be a clean english, and also, he uses too much the word, queen, brits respect to much the queen to be telling everyone everytime that you are his "queen".

I started tracing his IP address one is from Seatle, Washington and the other one says private IP.

Who is he really? i have no idea, we have been chatting for some time now and today i got this weird feeling, and when I entered his email and googled it... voila! the word scammer popped up everywhere!!!

Then i started copying pasting his letters into google and also, scam love letters, scam canada, scam internet love ... and all that started to tell me. this guy is a real son of a gun!!!

Today, he made this approach saying a friend of him was very sad with some blame excuse... and then the money issue made its presence

Welcome to Scamwarners mmonsarum, I am happy you found out he is a scammer. Everything he told you is a lie. A real soldier has access to telephones and their money. The reason he told you the lie about the orphanage is because that is where he is. He wants your money sent to him in Nigeria. The IP you found is actually the IP for the email provider.

Please post his email address to help other women avoid his scam attempts. Also a couple of his initial emails to you would also be helpful. Please remove any of your personal information before posting.

and another.... fake love letter
Honey, there is so much I want to tell you, a lot has been running through my head lately. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words so you will have to bare with me through this.I keep thinking about the future, about life, and what I want out of it. I keep thinking about us and what this means to me. I see my future; it's what I want out of life. I want to grow old with you. I want to experience this crazy love forever and ever, and I really think I'm going to get to.

I want to see you walk around our house in a big t-shirt with your hair down and catch me staring at how gorgeous you are. I want you to pull the covers off me at night and then I have to get even closer, if it's possible, to you to keep warm. I want to see you laugh like crazy at me when I do stupid stuff. I want to rub lotion all over your body because you laid out in the sun too long. I want to hold you when you cry and smile with you when you smile. I want to fall asleep every night with you in my arms. I want you to fall asleep on my chest listening to the beat of my heart and know it beats for you ,

I want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep. I want to see your bad morning hair; I think it will be so cute ha ha ha!! I want to sit on the beach with you and watch the sun set, and I want all the people who pass us to envy the love that we obviously have for each other. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE MINE . Goodmorning my queen, today will be a joyful day to you and i hope we can talk later today.

more love letters.....
I told you from the first day that i met you, that i feel a connection, and each passing days makes me more convinced, i sure know that you are a bit reserved about telling me how you feel about me..

I know, but at the same time i am convinced too that you love me and you want to be with me the same way i want to be with you, we may have met this late in life, but i want us to make every moment count, to make each other happy and to always be there for each other.... HAVE A SWEET DAY HONEY..

Hello mmonsarum,

I was about to be scammed by this S.O.B.!!!
I am glad you realized he was lying to you :beer:
He sent me the exact same letters he sent you: How original is that!! hahahaha :roll:
Well, I did follow all the recommendations given here in this site. I stop all contact with him, blocked him from my skype account, and actually since I dont use it, I also erased all my info. The thing that really bothers me is that at the beginning I felt completely for all his bull... and sent him all the pictures he asked me for (fortunately non of them was not even provocative pics, just regular pictures of me)... I just hope he doesn´t use them for his scamming purposes.
Any way, he still e-mails me now and then, and every e-mail he sents me I post it in my posts. But i never answer any of them, and will not ever answer to him.
Another important thing I learned here, is that you might get an e-mail from a "Scam Investigator", or something like that: that will also be a big scamm... So now you know if you receive that kind of e-mail, don´t even bother to answer it.
Well, I wish you the best.
Regards,
Gsilva

Not at all GSILVA...

Thanks :beer: to you and ScamWarners i oppened my eyes, if not im pretty sure i would have oppened my wallet .. HOLLY CRAP! :yikes:

He has "dissapered" :laugh-s: for the last 3 days.... maybe he is a systems engineer or has a friend who is and finally noticed that he is being posted as a scammer. People like him.... get :bondage: by someone the same as him....

Best,

mmonsarum

He is not a System Engineer nor are any of his friends. He is Romance Scammer and his friends are scammers too. He is an African in Lagos, Nigeria. He spends his day in an Internet Cafe or on his stolen laptop scamming women.
  by mmonsarum
 
Thanks Byron, and how you know he is in Lagos Nigeria? or this is where all or most of them are? Isnt there any laws against it?
  by Bryon Williams
 
@ mmonsarum Prior to you editing your first post. You mentioned a chat log. In that log he informed you of a pretend orphanage that was flooded in Lagos Nigeria. He was telling you that his Army friend had been donating money to the orphanage. Now that fake soldier can not access his money nor can he call friends to send money.

He was setting you up for money transfer to him in Lagos Nigeria under the pretense of the fake orphanage. This is a common scam tactic.
  by mmonsarum
 
thanks Byron.
He mentioned that his friend served in Nigeria and Gabon and that the orphanage was in Nigeria.
Sure, he now tells me there have been bombs in the area ... i guess he reads the news in all the internet before writting to me... but... what really caught my attention is that i searched everywhere and no news about no bombing until... 2 days later that it was given a small line on internet.. .(how did he knew there were bombings?)
  by Dotti
 
He knew about the bombings in Nigeria because he is there. He is a Nigerian, living in Nigeria, who spends his time pretending to be someone else in order to steal money from innocent people.
