I met him on facebook - he then quickly took the conversation to whatsapp. After that he deleted his profile from facebook, saying he didn't need it anymore.

He was extremely supportive and interested in my life. Contacting me day and night. Always the first person to talk to me in the mornings and last person to say goodnight.

He wanted to "invest" in me but later he started asking things from me. First it was an online music card. Then he ended up in hospital after being "hijacked". I had to pay money to help him. He convinced me to sell my car. Wanting me to invest it into Bitcoin.

And all of this during the Covid-9 pandemic!!!! Shocking how this happened. But I guess it was the right time as I really needed support and felt really lonely during the crisis of the Covid pandemic. Didn't think he would get me as far as to sell my car!!!! Crazy!!!!!

Luckily I didn't give him that money. These people are VILE and EVIL. They DO NOT care for you! They will take ALL your money and NOT CARE what happens to you Or the people who are dependent on you! I have a son and mom I take care of. He knew this AND DIDN'T CARE to rob me!

They will get under your skin as soon as possible and then revert to manipulation, guilt and stressful situations to take your money! He even had screenshots of a whatsapp conversation he had with his "son" which was also fake. They will create "family members" etc to scam you into thinking they are real!

Oh, and yes, he NEVER video called. Always an excuse!!! His accent was also not "Nigerian".

Goes by Richard Mark on tictock
by: Jdfowler

I started chatting with him a month ago on tick tock. We moved it to Google chat. He professed to love me quickly and wanted a lifetime relationship. He claimed to be living in Charlotte NC where he had a daughter living.

He left the states for a 16 week contract. I googled his picture and found the real person in the North Irish sea.

Catfished on US dating site

This man called himself Riccardo Bianchi who lost his wife 3 years ago (a hook - I lost my partner last year) and his wife died in her sleep after a respiratory illness. He has a gorgeous British Spaniel - I have a dog. He had no children. His occupation of project manager of a petroleum tank in Alaska matched a profile of a man with his name in Texas.

He stood me up at the last minute for our first meet. Then unexpectedly had his project approved in Alaska - right after Biden gave funding for the oil pipeline in Alaska. He sent me a photo at my request of himself on the job in a hard hat. Also on the plane on his way to Alaska. Meanwhile the love bombing began and escalated to "love at first sight". He played on my motherly attention - I take care of a disabled relative — here is where I began to lose interest. He seemed too needy.

Finally after a very clever purchase of 200k equipment for his project he needed $ for shipping. A week went by while he found funds but alas, not enough. We had been in touch every morning and every evening for 6 weeks and I was waiting for a request for funds.

Finally, here it came. Could I please loan him 15k and he’d pay me back right away. I said I don’t lend money and blocked him. Never heard from him again. I checked social catfish to find him all over dating sites in Europe under different names. Busy guy.

Upon further investigation someone is imitating a real person, using his images and videos. These photos belong to a real person named Sergio Alberti. If you google Sergio Alberti he has loads of "real" info on him, websites, you tube videos, Instagram page under, photographs. I see he is on another scam website as well, posing as Vincent.

For me he introduced himself as Daniel. I will be reporting him to Instagram so by the time anyone sees this hopefully Instagram will have removed him as @realalexandrudaniel. Think he told me: his parents died the month after one of my parents passed (the hook), he followed me faithfully on my business Instagram for months liking my content before he politely said hello, and we began a very friendly exchange. He told me about investments in Dubai and many details that mimic the real Sergio Alberti's life re: where he grew up and playing soccer. He did not ask for money but told me I should invest in Bitcoin. Today he told me he was falling in love with me, and asked me what I thought of that and that just tipped the scales after two weeks of talking now and then.

I started to investigate and found this site when I google searched one of the images. He sent me a little live video the other day to say hello and the words didn't seem to match the video, and I found the video and all the photos he has sent me on the real Sergio Alberti's Instagram page.

All the best avoiding scammers everyone!

I had this same person recently contact me too. Thank you for posting this. It put a swift end to things, and he was trying to encourage me to invest in Bitcoin with him/through him and his best friend from MIT Michael Saylor.

This guy is currently on Instagram as @realalexandrudaniel
