Yes he will. So far he hasn't blocked me but I am one step ahead of him on that one two. I can go under two different other accounts and see what he is up to and who he has added. I have a spreadsheet on each of his accounts under each name that he uses, a list of all the women that he has added plus their photos. Let's just say this person should have never messed with the wrong girl .
This guy is going to get his day and get what's coming to him.
You rock! Sure glad you're on the 'good guys' team. I hope he doesn't have any of your real details because although the likelihood of him causing you any real harm is very low, he can still cause you a bit of grief.

Well good news on that comment is is that I have my settings set so that he can't see anything on my home profile. Can't even look at my pictures on facebook either.
Just got 2 more e-mails on facebook from women that have either blocked or deleted ben from their friends list. Life is being soooooooo good to me right now
Well things are looking up today. There have been about 4 women who have removed Ben Santos from their friends list. Just had an interesting request from one of the ladies that I sent a letter to letting her know that this guy is a fake - she now wants to be friends on facebook. Do you think that I am going to accept the friends request - NOT
Cautious one be cautious to accept request from people you have doubts. It can also be that this woman requesting you to accept as a friend is your former scammer using a woman's profile.
Nothing wrong of being an Engr. as long as you are real. :-)
Wild Geese - Yes I thought about that too. Especially after sending out so many letters and then tonight having two of them request to be friends. I haven't and won't accept their friends request. I guess that I am still one step ahead of him.
Well I now have had 3 women that I sent letters to letting them know this Ben Santos is a fake and they want me to accept a friends request from them. Well they are going to have a very, very long wait because I'm not going to accept them. Don't trust any friends request from people that I have warned about this guy.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if scammers use their own alternate accounts in order to "pad" their friends list. If that's the case, then he probably knows what you're up to, so tread very carefully.....they can be nasty little critters when you make them mad.

Well good news this afternoon. One of Ben Santos' account no longer exist on on facebook. It was there last night but not today. There were 16 women that dropped him from their friends list and I guess that they reported his profile as being fake.
This is the account on facebook that has been closed:
went to another computer under another name and did a search but can't see that account. i'll have to try another idea and see if i can't get recent friends list off his site.
He'll just open another anyway.....one that has no links to this site. It's actually counter-productive to force them to open new accounts with new identities.

Yeah your probably right but I am so enjoying watching these women drop off his friends list. And since I found this site I haven't told any of my friends about it and don't intend to either.
You SHOULD tell your real friends -- but only those who you know for a FACT are REAL -- could save them from being scammed one day.

I am sorry that you have lost money to this heartless thief, unfortunately there is nothing we can do about the past but we can change the future.
Please dont make any further contact with him at all, what you have told him so far about knowing he is a scammer will actually help him to adjust his scam for the next person, the damage is already done and you were not to know so dont be too concerned, but all the same, stopping all communication will mean that wont happen again.
Could you please post any information you can on the scammer, the emails you were sent and the pictures if they are different to the ones already posted here, phone number and the header from the emails will also help.
My own belief is that this is a new scammer who is using the same pictures but that is not as important as making sure that the details are out there for all to see.
You mention that you know his real name, may I ask how you know that? scammers will often give you another name where you are supposed to send money to but that may well simply be the details on his fake identification.
I am also a little curious about him admitting to being a scammer, that is a little unusual, not entirely unheard of but certainly something we dont often see.
