As of 9/12/2014 this scammer is pretending to be Alec Couros on a dating app called Tango. He is going by the name Mark Williams. He said he has two children and the wife had passed away. He said his mother had passed away too but she recorded his voicemail as Donna Accra. Accra is the capital of Ghana, Africa where this scammer is really from. The phone number he is using is 702-720-3974. The email he is using is markdwilliams3@gmail.com. He told my friend he is in the oil industry and was out of the country at the moment and his children lived in boarding school in Las Vegas. He also sent pictures of children that he said were his. I did a google image search and found the real Alec Couros facebook page online. His mother is still alive and visited him last week. BEWARE TANGO USERS OF THIS SCAMMER GOING BY MARK WILLIAMS IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

Welcome to RS and thank you for the post.
Yes indeed if they mention Ghana they are a ring of scammers from over there.
They not pretending to be Alex. They stole and abusing his pictures but created a cyber ghost named Mark Williams. Rest of the story is very typical scam script.
Please tell your friend to BLOCK and IGNORE all future attempts of communication. What he is doing right is called mind manipulation and as soon as your friend would be brainwashed to the point of his convince he would come with some horrible excuse and ask for money....

Please if you happen to have any other info including pre-scripted letters you are welcome to post.
Thank you.
Confronting the scammer is WRONG!!! DON'T enlighten criminals with your wisdom. REPORT & BLOCK.
PHOTO VICTIM - "Do not confront the owner of the pictures, as they are victims themselves! You will only serve to further the terror and harm !" Silence Is Golden!!! I speak Polish.

from our FB wall, from the real Alec Couros:
Alec Couros
Yesterday at 8:17pm
I've had my photos used for about seven years now, and it's common for me to get several reports a week of people who have been scammed or almost scammed by imposters using my photos. I was recently interviewed by the CBC in Canada. You can find the audio interview here: http://www.cbc.ca/morningedition/episod ... -scamming/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Also, here is a shorter text version of the interview. http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/saskatc ... -1.2800046" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Regina man's identity gets used in romance scamming
Alec Couros.jpeg
Why did the photo of this happily married Regina man end up on the mantel in a woman's home in Texas?

For years con artists have been using the identity of Alec Couros for romance scamming. They take his photos, pretend to be someone they are not, and then scam people into falling in love with them, often trying to get money as the end result.

Alec also happens to be a professor of communication technologies at the University of Regina. He explains what romance scamming is and how it can be avoided.

Message Sent To My E-mail:
Good morning hon, How has your day been so far? You must be busy with work like you said. To tell you a bit about myself, I'm a petrochemical engineer, I work on oil rigs in the production of oil and natural gas. I'm currently working on a contract in west Africa. Nigeria to be precise.My contract ends this February and hopefully, i will be back home This February. Actually, this is my last contract outside the states as i intend to settle down with the woman of my dream after this.. Anyway I'm a very open and honest person with nothing to hide. which is why I've been waiting for the right woman. I'm looking for someone to share my life with, be my best friend, my partner and my heart all in one. I want to enhance someone's life, not change it and have them do the same for me. I believe in Love, I know it's out there and won't settle for anything less. I want to wake up everyday for the rest of my life in love with the woman next to me. I want to enjoy spending time together whether we are doing something or nothing at all. I want us to be able to laugh at silly things, cry at sad things and be happy the whole time, because we were doing it together...How about you?
