Dating Scams on Facebook

by Linda

Ladies BEWARE!!!! of these names and numbers as they are scammers. First I received a friend request from a Greg Navas so I accepted. First he said he was a Marine Engineer working in Oslo Norway who lost his wife 5 years prior to a fatal accident and had a 14 year old son who was in school in US. Sounded kind of fishy to me and we conversed on hangouts and then within a few days his profile and pictures(stolen) disappeared off Facebook but we still conversed until I made him mad then he quit texting me.

Next, there was a Thomas Spencer from Omaha Nebraska who was a widow with a 17 year old daughter and a 19 year old son who was with a nanny to look after them while he was on an oil rig off the coast of Austin Texas for 9 more weeks. Nannys at that age??? I finally told him I was going out of state and he never asked for money or anything but I think it was coming.

Then the best one was a Jace Lowe from Austin Texas who was a petroleum engineer on a rig in Austin who lived there with his two children and his wife died of cancer 4 years prior. He was madly in love with me, he was 65 years old, 5ft 8 in tall and weighed 58 kilos. We conversed on hangouts for about 3 weeks and then he wanted me to change my phone carrier to Verizon as he was going to Turkey for 3 weeks and that was the only way he could call me. I would not do that so the next step was asking for my personal info as he wanted to send $10000 to my account for us to have when he came to meet me.

Then he wanted me to apply for a Capital One credit card as I have no credit cards,and I told him I did and he wanted me to send him the info and I told him I would not and why didn't he apply for one in his name and add me as a signer.

He kept hounding me for my personal info so I gave him a fake bank account and fake ss number and within a couple of days he kept on and I finally told him I had reported him under all of the names I had as a scammer to the Office of the Inspector General and the FBI.

Within 3 days I received a text as to how badly I had hurt him and how much he loved me and that he had been contacted by the FBI and they had cleared him. That was a good laugh.

Beware of these phone numbers 972-559-0769, 518-488-9425, 518-553-5257.
