scammers with pictures of Cody Cummings

[sheenaguess]

John Punzi in KC was a firefighter, now a lawyer. Just got back from a trip in Ireland where his mom grew up. He and his sister are now taking care of her after her stroke. We had talked off and on for many months. He would always vanish, I always suspected. Love this site.

John is currently using the phone number +1 (816) 237-0296. Says that he is living in Liberty, MO and that he just moved there from the Waldo area in Kansas City. He says that he is an attorney that does patent law and works in downtown Kansas Ciry. Age 42. And uses pictures of Cody Cummings. Even ones with the large tattoo on Cody’s right arm which is pretty distinctive. I️ met him through Zoosk.

Anyone have this happen with a guy going by Scott Hankins?
Lives in Dublin
In Africa working as an engineer, cant leave due to covid
Has young daughter
Only messages won't call
Raised in Belgium

Actually claimed he was Cody Cummings and used Kevin Lengyel( Codys real name for a travel id)Very repentant and ashamed of his past life. Boohoo

I called Kevin at his gym. Not a super nice guy. He refused to give me even 1 minute to talk. I feel sorry for him being used like this. I guess it gets to him.

This guy sent me pics of Kevins 6 year old daughter. Said she is his and her name is Cameron.

Tried to get me to send money. I checked and found the scam. Told him I'm not getting involved with money. He said okay. Don't know why, but he is still really pursuing me at this moment. I found the email he wanted me to send money to was linked to a guy named Ernest Afriyie in the Bronx. Can't get any answers from him. I asked "Scott" about the name and he acted like he never heard of it. Unitt88@aol.com.

Where'd he get the shirtless selfies though, not typical Cummings photos?

Oh yeah Scott Hankins uses scotthankins680@gmail.com
He was also on OKcupid until I reported him.
Watch out he's good.

scotthankins680@gmail.com --> hit to Hangouts with flower pic as his avatar

Yes the flower is there because I told him I didn't want to see the photo of Kevin and his daughter anymore. It's a moonflower. I grow them. I have completely blocked him now, though. He really messed with my head. Can't figure out why he keeps pursuing me if he knows I'm onto him. I just got divorced a year ago. I have PTSD from it. Feels like my exhusband all over again. I'm moving on, though. Met several nice real guys on okcupid already. Thanks for your reply. It helps.

Today I got this message. A friend of this sick scammer may have tried to help me not sure if it's an act but treated them like it was real. Hangouts dialog:












Then I get this email






Can anybody here get okcupid to do something about these sickos?

Matched on POF about a week or so ago. Used the name “John.” Says he’s a lawyer. There were a few things that seemed like red flags. Felt too good to be true. Then, we were supposed to meet and said he didn’t get back to town in time. I asked to do a Zoom meet. He said yes, but never followed through.
