Nigerian Love Scammers Busted in Malaysia!


The scammer is like a leech. They will keep asking your for money until your bank runs dry. And you don't even know that you are in fact in love with some Nigerians in Africa.

Sin Chew Daily reported that an Australian woman who lost an undisclosed amount of money in an online romance scam decided to hire a private investigator to help locate the fraudsters.

Her persistence was duly rewarded when four suspects, including three Nigerians, were nabbed in Malaysia last Friday.

Three of the suspects were caught at a bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur while a fourth suspect, believed to be the mastermind, was nabbed moments later in Putrajaya.

The mastermind was said to have married a local woman, while the local suspect is a runner who collects money from victims.

Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Department chief Asst Comm Izany Abdul Ghany said the victim, known only as Rosary, was upset after being duped in the scam.

She then hired a private investigator who befriended one of the syndicate members online for a month before the suspect started asking for money.

After receiving the first payment of A$760 (S$968), the suspect then asked for A$20,000.

The investigator then flew to Malaysia to meet the suspects, aged between 17 and 21.

Has anyone been contacted by a guy name Ryan Hudson on Match.com?

He claims to be a structural engineer that works in the gas and oil industry and has just left for Scotland to work for a month. He is the typical scammer he writes beautiful emails to you and calls you and then after a few weeks asks for money in large amounts. He asked me to loan him $170,000.00 to repair equipment on the rig and when I questioned him about this and asked for details he said he could not give them that this was private information yet he was asking me to loan him almost $200K dollars! I want to let everyone know that if you are contacted by this person do not send any money!! He goes by winterman1968@yahoo.com or ryan4you68@yahoo.com and uses the phone numbers 011-44-7031-988660 or 302-336-8149 which is a google voice number. I have provided the information to authorities to investigate.

Hello All...

I have had an "attempt" to scam me but I figured it out before it could go any further.  He claims to be Carter Andrew Brian from Germantown NY. Met him on Christian Mingle dating site.  He is supposedly an archaeologist, a widower, wife supposedly died in a horrific car accident 6 years ago.  Supposedly has a 12 year old son who lives with his (Carter's mom). Claimed to have an "emergency project in the UK.  After 1 1/2 weeks called to tell me  that a major piece of equipment broke and he needs to have additional money to buy a new machine.  He said he has some of the money and his mom sent him some, but that he needed to see if I could help him with the remaining.  I received a dozen long stem roses, beautiful romantic emails, told me his son wanted a "new mom".  I have played along in order to get as much information to turn over to the FBI for cyber fraud.  Obviously he is using other people's credit cards to purchase flowers, etc.  His email address is cbc0245@yahoo.com    Phone # 315-316-1185   UK phone number (supposedly) 442032869441

Stay safe...

Andrew Reece even sent me a picture of the amount of his contract in Malaysia.  He told me not to show it to anyone.  I told him I have a

safe and I could put it in there, or I could go to the bank and get a

safety deposit box; then he told me to put in a place where it would be safe.    He is a bum, a scumbag, a cheater, a thief and many other things also.  If you have been scammed, I feel sorry for you.  He told me he needed $5,000 and when I told him I have it but it is my livelihood as I am unable to go back to work, he said "just send me any amount you can and that would be good."  Of course, it would be good.   There is an Andrew Reece listed in Beverly Hills so I

called the number and the man said he wasn't the one I was looking for.  So in other words, he stole someone's identity. 

Scammers like Andrew Reece should be put in jail and throw away the key.  That's my idea.

Yes, I hope and pray that Andrew Reece will be caught and pushed and put in long-time jail.  He is a scammer.  Smart?  yes, probably.  He

got $1500 from me.

I hope so Dorores that Andrew Reece will get caught, put to justice and rotten to jail. He also fooled, tricked and scammed me more than he got from you. He is a not a true Christian as he claimed to be, he's a devil and a liar. He brained washed me with his romantic words and fake poems (probably got them from romantic books) and promised to pay me back when he gets back to California and be with me as his soul mate. I also have a feeling that he is still there luring and baiting more victims.

hi,

I have just spoken to a nigerian thru skout and things went fast as he asked me out. he claimed to study his master degree programme at Segi College , Kl .

Given all the info i got frm media press, im skeptical to meet up. I told him to make things slow and to wait till im comfortable. however, i gave him my phone num and we just talked to phone, it was a nice one that i could admit.

pls help me to verify if the scammers that you have collected is included with "teejay" who is studying in segi college,kl campus on master degree in international finance or ACCA.

tq.

I came across the name Alex Cole before. I have been chatting with a guy named Barry Brown who lives and has a business in Bermingham England with his partner Alex Cole. Turns out Barry is a scammer, a weak one as I was able to get him to drop his guard and he made some mistakes that exposed him. I was not able to identify the actual scam because he did not as yet ask me for anything. He professed his love for me and wanted us to be together. He claimed to be taking care of his sick uncle who took care of him as his parents both died in an accident. He gave me an out of service UK mobile  but called me from a nigerian number when I pressed him to "Hear his voice". I never heard from him again when I pressed to see his face on video. Stay alert. Don't be fooled.

Does anyone know this scammer (Nelson Parker)? Here is an email I got from him today. Beware of Nelson Parker. Claims his wife died in an accident 7 months ago and they have a 10 month old son. He has a nanny for him. He has been chatting me up on skype for about two months now. He is in love and wants to marry me. His father (an American) died when he was a boy and his mother (an Italian) took him back to Italy and he returned to the US when he was 25. He gave me his address as 49 Jamaica Ave QueensVillage Manhattan. There is no address like that. Queensvillage is in Queens NY. I used to work in NY and so I am familiar with the boroughs. He sent gorgeous photos of himself and son. After laying the groundwork romancing me online, he lays the trap today. Below is the sample email. I knew he was a scammer a while back. I am a highly educated Nigerian and I can spot Nigerian scammers miles away.Can you believe a Nigerian scamming a Nigerian in the US?

Good Morning My Love,sorry for not coming online last night....i was so tired and sad that i had to rest for the night without thinking or stressing myself. I really appreciate your suggestion about my situation now. But i will be happy if i have it for my work here and it has the world map and can easily go online as well with some functions in it. Please baby can you be able to buy it there and send it through DHL courier service to Port Harcourt Nigeria for me and i will pay you back if i'm back to America. I bought the black berry bold 9900 for 599USD in New York on  October 2011. I will really appreciate it Onome if you can help me out....i'm off to work now and will be able to chat with you today. I missed your company last night.

Nice day to you baby

I refused and asked him to send me his credit card number so that buy the phone or that he should ask his nanny or a friend for help, he sent this email "

Hi dear, i thanks for your concern about my situation. I don't use credit card anymore because i lost it then i went and block it up for security reasons. But since then i have not gone for a new one and i don't think i need it anymore. I don't disturb my nanny for anything fund because of her age and my son (Peter) and I'm not good in begging my friends for issues like this so because we all have our own time for ourselves. My best friend Patrick went for an offshore work in Dubai and his the only person that will be in the right position to help me if his around in the States. You are the only person that i can truth to help me in this issue, but there is no problem since you are having some financial thoughts. While I'm very serious about this is because its really puts me through in my work while I'm here in Nigeria. Onome i will be very happy if i have the phone with me here thats why i went for it in Nigeria. If i had the money now i would have sent it to you to get it but i lost 95000Naira just for a fake black berry and you didn't even tell me to send it to you to get it for me over there. We will be getting our allowance in 2weeks time before we leave for the States."

Onome, I do not know who Nelson Parker is.  I can tell you that my soon to be ex-wife has fallen for a guy named Chris Scott, soccer agent, widowed 5 years, wife died of vreast cancer, daughter in Scotland, etc.  I wish I knew how to expose this scam.  They are supposed to meet in about 2 weeks.  She is holding on to this thought.  I am pretty sure that she has had similar texts, emails, IM's, phone calls, etc. similar to what you had posted.  Any suggestions for me?

my best friend believed a man who facebook friended her from millaysia and claimed to be madly in love with her, despite my bluntly pointing out the obvious, soon hes asked her for money, she didnt have it and he dumped her, miraculously there was another one conveniently there to pik up the pieces and win her heart..a friend of the other guy..he too asked for money in a week or two..he didnt dump her the first time she didnt have it but asked again, he was from nigeria, and said he was sick n dieing and couldntbelieve the love of his life wouldnt send him money and dumped her...supposedly they wouldve been married..believe it or not a friend of his was miraculously there to mend her broken heart (i may as well talk to a brick wall, she wont listen) hes from largos africa and yes hes asked for money too...all three claimed to be in college etc..im sure they are scammers.

Is there someone can give me an info about some one who i know from match.com?

His name is Cafery Jerry, an UK citizen and he has a daughter named Jasmine. He went to India to do a job with Indian Government. He said he wants to instruct RBI to send some amount of money cause he could not open any account in India and asked me to pay it from that amount. The RBI's PIC who will transfer the money to me was using different email address with RBI's official website and I told him about that. And no reply from that RBI's staff until now. I told him, i need some docs to be submitted to my local bank to avoid money laundering issue.

And on 19 February, there is a doctor name Dr. Raju Vija Kumar contacted me and said that Mr. Cafery got a traffic accident and now in ICU, he asked me to send $7.000.

I was asking him to send me any proof of his accident but he could not give any proof to me.

Is there any person who has same story like mine? I am just curious is he genuine or just a scammer. Cause mostly those scammer mentioned Malaysia but he was mentioning India.

His UK's number is +447017044675 and his india number is +917838348325.

Please help to advice me, cause am afraid he is really got the accident and dying now. Thanks anyway
