scammers with pictures of Diego Fiore

[Marisa]

he is not trying to scam there, this is a real guy, and I DID manage to get in contact with him and get his IP address, his name is Diego Fiore, he is an Italian. There are a LOT of pictures stolen from that site, and those who's owners have been identified are mentioned in the beginning of the topics, in the very first post, and the topics have white star.

However, there ARE Nigerians scammers and fake profiles there, not everybody on bride.ru is real, so you gotta be careful, but with experience you would be able to tell a Nigerian on any site.

Thanks for the clarification. I feel sorry for that guy having his pictures taken and being passed around so much.

And I greatly appreciate any and every bit of insight on spotting these creeps that you and others can give.

I met this guy over a month ago at tagged.com
name: Mike Burow
age: 43
Location: Miami, FL
yahoo: mikeburow81@yahoo.com

he emailed me and we chatted at yahoo... he told me he is a petrochemical engineer for transocean currently working with the BP Oil spill at the gulf of Mexico. he is nice, a charmer, but with the horrible english grammar and spelling... he told me he got his engineering degree in the UK...I asked him where? he said he graduated from Leads... duh??? LEADS??? I know there is this Leeds University in the UK ha ha ha but Leads??? hmmmm so i smelled something really fishy but i went along... he's nice and cute anyway... funny how we ladies are taken by a good looking picture ha ha ha...
well, after 2 chatting sessions he said he is falling for me??? duh??? what??? so i just went along... i thought this guy is just playing on me so i thought i would play along.. never thought he is a big time scammer... he told me that he is an only child and lost both his parents of cancer... i asked him cancer of what? he said just cancer ha ha ha...
he also said he is taking care of his young cousin which a 19 year old girl which he sends to school in paris ... whoa...
he asked me about my ex'es... well, i gave him an exagerrated story like my ex is a big time tycoon and owns 2 starbucks franchises... well, he gave me the most exaggerated story about his ex too... he said he was once engaged to Queen Elizabeth's youngest daughter... i literally fell down from my chair... Queen Elizabeth's youngest daughter??? is he serious??? i am not Bristish but I know about the royal family at least... Queen Elizabeth has only one daughter, Princess Anne who is about 60 years old now... ha ha ha i entertained myself with our chats because its becoming more hilarious...
he asked for my number which i gave and called me thru a blocked number... i asked him why, he said its because his boss won't allow them to have cellphones at work so he is using the boss' cellphone... and also, i asked him why can't he use a webcam, he said it is also forbidden at work... ok so be it!!! i know he is lying.... oh by the way, the call... he didn't sound American... he sound like a muffled black african... so i told him, you don't sound American... which he replied... maybe because of the

[mikaela]

... the waves... ha ha ha... funny
then he said he has the British-German accent because he studied in London... oh well.. that's his trip then let him be...

its ok for me to chat... i thought it was harmless until his cousin met an accident in Glasgow because she went there for a field trip.... from Paris to Glasgow--- how wonderful
so he said her credit cards and other bank cards was stolen during the accident
now he is having a problem sending her the money for the hospital bills because apparently he does not do online banking..
he said he has to go to his bank in miami personally just to withraw money...
so he is asking me if i could lend him 1200 pounds.... whoa!!!
so that his cousin would be treated in the hospital
i told him i don't have money
he said he would accept any amount then he will send it back to me
i smelled scamming here... i just told him... i don't have any extra money right now...

so the next time we chatted he said, he was able to borrow $680 from his co-workers but still they have balance in the hospital and he is again asking me for help...
so i told him what's wrong with your bank... can you just call them and tell them to transfer money because this is an emergency? he said the bank wont help him at all.... i told him that is ridiculous and i don't believe it

First he gives me this phone number 0016124545401, today that I discover he is an scammer dialed that number and a recorder said the number is not avaliable, since September 29 he is sending me text message from this other phone number +60102756017

He has sent me this 3 pictures:







About him, he told me he is widowed, his wife died during labor, he had one 12 years old daughter who live whit his mom. He works as engineer and it supposed at this moment he is in Malasya doing a pipe project and he will earn US$ 950,000 for it. Can you belive it???? I can't.

I told me he lives in Saint Paul, MN. His birthday is on October 10 and after his trip to Malasya he will come to my country to visit me.

Hi Ralph
I just posted new information about this scammer I hope will be usefull

Bye
Gigi


Removed full quote of earlier post - I think it looks much nicer that way - Ralph

[Ralph Warner]

Hi Gigi,
Thank you for the extra information on this scammer.

As far as I recall the phone number is a Malaysian number so I actually do believe he is in Malaysia, it is not at all uncommon for Nigerians to operate their scams from there.


Unfortunately the Malaysian based scammers are generally the ones that are better at scamming, lets face it , they didn't pay their way to get there by working a legitimate job in McDonalds Lagos while studying at Uni

[gigimrg]

Now I don't know what else I have to do about him, should I keep replying his mails, today he sent me this one:

Good morning

how are you doing i know you will be sleeping but i want to you that , you mean the world to me. I can hardly believe that we have only known each for more than a month . The more we talk the more I get to know the real you. You take my breath away with the feelings you have for me and I have for you. I look forward to seeing you this october ending . I know that our feelings will only grow with each passing day. I hope that no matter what happens to us, that you will be happy. That would mean more to me than anything. Your happiness makes me feel whole and happy too. I need to know that you are okay. I know our life will only get better once we meet.

I just want you to know how happy am I to have you in my life and I thank God for that. Thank you for the love and the joy you bring. You've changed my life, Baby

I want to make this promise today, I declare my love for you alone, no one but you and it's from the bottom of my heart. I promise to be there for you in good and bad times because you are worth dying for.

I pray that the Good Lord watch over us till the end of time

Love always,

Brian
He said he will come to visit me at the end of this month!!!! I dont want to know more about this guy, What I should do, please give me an advise.
