Williams Ronald Oil Rig Scam Watch out!!!

by Angry woman
(Sweden)

My story is very similar to many others here. Started speaking with this man in late June of this year. He contacted me via Instagram and got very personal. Divorced since 6 yrs, three daughters one with a coronary heart disease needing a lot of medical care.


I myself have a medical condition and he was very curious about this, making sure he was there to always help and support me. Perhaps a little too much. Supposedly a karatbar gold affiliate and an oil rig contractor. Went to Idahoe he said and thats when he first asked me to help him get a google play card because his reception was so poor and he had to borrow another mans phone to text me.

I didnt and he got mad. He then continued texting me again and getting all friendly and said he had driven 3 hours to get this card himself. However, shortly after he got there the work was postphoned and he went back to the US because he had been offered this big contract worth a lot of money. He gave up all to go to Brazil (posted photos of him on the plane with passport and all, on the beach when he got there and so on) to get this contract and once there he started talking about an unfriendly atmosphere.

Then there were men being disqualified because they weren't verified and he told me he is sorry and he felt for those men, if that happened to him he would kill himself. I should have realized by then but silly me I did not. A week passed and then the call came, via hangouts (of course) he sent me a photo of him crying his eyes out and told me he had been called into the office for an emergency because someone had hacked his US account, his verification was gone and he needed it to get this contract in Brazil or else he could not get that contract.

He claimed I was the only one he had to turn to because he had more or less got rid off all his friends because one was cheating with his wife, another was his boss and they got in a huge fight and mainly he didnt make that many friends cause he was always working. Claimed to love animals and kids.

However, when I said no he got really angry, then sent tons of texts of how he was gonna jump off the roof and his daughters would be left alone and the eldest with that heart condition. He said I was inhumane to not help him out and I felt really bad about it. Finally I did. Stupid me. Felt bad about it but he got happy of course.

Then all was fine, but he was working sooo much he didn't really have time to text that much until the next incident when he was to sign that contract for what he said was CNOOC Petroleum and he sent me the contract and all. Looking very professional to me. Then he said because I had helped him with the verification fee he had to put me as a beneficiary for his contract money and that made me really uncomfortable. I finally agreed, and he said if he cant get his money then i cant get mine back.

I bought that but had a bad feeling about all this. About 24 hours after that I got a company mail (should have checked the header better!!!) saying that I was now a registered beneficiary for the contract of Williams Ronald and all funds would be paid to my account after an insurance fee of 5000 dollars had been paid to that company. It was "company policy" since the contractors before had failed to provide insurance for their workers and sued the company for millions. I thought this sounded crazy and he got really agitated. He Said he swore on his life he was gonna pay me back, if I did not help him his dream was gonna die, he would surely kill himself, not even being able to survive there in Brazil in that unfriendly climate.
Other workers had paid and left happy for home. I got five days to do this. He said they left by chopper and also got a bonus immediately which was paid out in cash.

Day four when he had constantly begged and cried I felt so bad and all stressed and I wrote this contract between us that he was gonna pay me back within a month and he once again got very agitated but finally he did and signed it online and returned to me. Not that its worth anything but I felt bad after this and once again he was a bit more distant in his writing, claiming he was so stressed with this whole situation. I got worried so I emailed that company and asked them where my money was and why I did not hear anything. Got an answer that they had technical issues
but that my transaction had been spotted and asked me to be patient. He said the same, he had spoken with them and lets be patient and give them a week.

Then more bad luck, him ending up in hospital because he got encephalitic from out of the blue and then he also got appendix which he needed to be operated for. By now I realized this scum was a scum, I did after that last payment but I just kinda got so mad i wanted to nail this scumbag.

I reported to the police here, I told my bank who tried to get a refund from the US bank but probably never will. I found similar stories all over the net when I started searching, which I should have long before. The address I got exists but there is no one with his name there. The same with the hospital he claims to be in. When I confronted him with this he got really really angry with me calling me all kinds of things.

I told him I reported this to the police and told my bank and my husband and he got very mad then he turned and said oh he had no idea and asked me to send proof of what I had found and so on. Then he said he went to check that company and they were all gone, but before this he said he got that bonus in cash that he was talking about. Very funny, he said that before I told him I found out they did not exist. I also found a story where a woman had paid money to the same account I got at chase bank in Chicago. There is so much more to this story cause he claims he was going to be operated for his appendix this last Wednesday but was attacked in the hospital by some men from "that fake company" that threatened to kill him unless I draw back my police report and tell my bank to back off trying to get a refund for my lost money.

He got very agitated once again. I also found out hes been in contact with several of my Instagram friends wanting to chat them up. I tried to report his profile but I dont know how the hell im supposed to do this. From this point on Ive decided to play along. I want this loser to get caught! I have filed that report with FBI and some other ftc complaint. Did a reverse image search and found another profile (also private) on Instagram with the same picture. He calls himself carlo_cebastian so if hes real or not, I have no clue. Unfortunately I dont have all the pictures he sent me on hangouts as I should have saved them but I do have the contract, beneficiary form, the contract he signed and all that. Im so mad I want to just explode.

This guy is a master of smooth words and compassion so watch out! He claims to love music, children and animals. He speaks with an accent and the signal is always poor he says and he is now in a safe place in the hospital (no BS ;_)) and I have heard chicken and babies crying in the background trying to understand where hes calling from. He gets very mad when I ask questions and does not like that at all. The tone changes immediately. So get this loser caught please.

His email is williamsronald7667@gmail.com

He uses pictures of himself and three girls and I am sure hes not the person in these photos at all.

Yesterday when I did a reverse image search for this guy I found out there is another IG account with the same profile picture (also a private user of course..) and he calls himself carlo_cebastian (same guy or original I have no idea).

After further research I managed to find out who the stolen picture is from by reverse image search and after my fifth attempt I fount him. Had to try four different images before i found a match and it was not on google. It's a guy called Cleyton Oliviera, some Portuguese lawyer who seems to be quite famous in Portugal/Brazil.

He has a fb page and his own Instagram account with a lot of followers. I can see why they are using his photos because there are plenty in different situations and environments. I tried to contact him there yesterday without much luck so far.

Also tried to alert Instagram about this, but their search engines do not find his name when searching for "famous people". I don't know what to do because these guys are still out there scamming more people and it really has to stop!

So please include his real name also. Heres the link to his fb page
https://www.facebook.com/cleyton.oliveira.5059

He is also found in other sites from countries all over the world, like dating sites and so on. Aliases include: Cleyton Hamilton, Alex Balik, Ramon Medez, Martin from Paris.

Yes it is MELANSON Oliviera
by: Anonymous

MAKE no mistake ladies it is Clayton Oliviera. The video chat I had was very clear and he sent me pictures that were not on his Instagram as he used Viber.

The guy is extremely smart. He is using his real face under different names. As he is an Instagram star he could just argue that his pictures are used by others to stay out of trouble. He wants you to believe that he is a victim.

Thankfully I was got out of his clutches before he could have duped me. Everything seemed suspicious from the get go. He used the name Ajay Menesh. Claimed to be half polish half Indian.

This man and his team needs to be sent behind bars. And yes once again I will repeat it ayton Oliviera who is a lawyer and Instagram star in Portugal.

Warning to women don't get sucked in by his smooth talk
by: Anonymous

I also got scammed by this person. But he used the name Michael Gary and that he was from Washington. I've no one to blame but myself as I thought he was genuine, even though I did feel there was something not right. But he told me he's in New Zealand off shore.

There was so many red flags but I ignored them.

I did get a message from someone last year warning me about him, but I wish I had listened. He's got another page on IG by the name of Derrick Gilbert. They will eventually get caught. Just keep the photos of him, as I've kept mine and other information.

This picture used by many groups
by: Anonymous

Hi All,
I have read your comments. It seems the scammers are using this persons pictures (Cleyton's) - everywhere. Its a shame as he (the real person) is a victim of all of this too. I was too recently approached by someone (scammer) using this persons very picture.

Luckily I cottoned on that this was a scammer and I did not send any money! Blocked deleted him. But the whole thing broke me for weeks. And I am sorry for the people that actually did send money and got rorted by these gangs.

I too am learning about this in this space and if they move you to hangouts within days, it's a clear sign they are scammers, with a sob story.

Please all be safe and vigilant and query everything. Love and blessings.

I know him as well as Michel Moore from New York
by: Anonymous

Something must be done to be caught by FBI because of romance fraud. On Twoo saw his other profiles, at least 6 in half a year, and he is avoiding me when I ask him about what happened after he disappeared. He doesn't work alone. I m sure of it. He gets money for his performances seducing elderly women.

Has he got a very deep, masculine voice? Sooner or later this narcissist Predator must end up in jail. We must protect ourselves against that sort of dangerous men.

I hope we can get the word out to more women and men. Thank you all for posting. I hope the women who have lost money to this wretch will some day have justice. Please get the word out, continue to post anything that may be helpful. I hope someone blows this case out of the water and puts this letch behind bars.

Please post alternate names, careers, how he contacted you. I was contacted through LinkedIn. There is no social platform that he won't use.

Cleyton oliveira
by: Anonymous

Well this guy is at it again, says he is 35, lives in NZ and and architect. Same as everyone else had a video chat with the guy and he even had the accent when speaking with him but he could speak English.

I checked out his Instagram page and that looks just as dodgy. Looks like it’s repeat stuff and some photoshopping going on as well. I hadn’t been talking with the person that long so I have dodged a bullet. He never asked for money or anything like that, so who knows who this person really is but they seem to be very good at what they are doing and one day hopefully they will be caught.

Williams Ronald/Eoin Mark/Cleyton Oliveira
by: Anonymous

Is there anyone else out there who thinks that Cleyton Oliveira could be either the scammer or in cahoots with the scammer? I too, video chatted with this person and it was totally him. I also had pictures sent that are not on his Instagram. He may be the actual scammer or someone very close to him is doing this.

Whoever it is, they have access to the real person. I don't know if he spoke English with any of the other victims.

What can be done?
by: Anonymous

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There must be something we can do together? I know he is taking advantage of both men and women. I believe now that this person is truly Cleyton Oliveira. I don't believe that the Cleyton person is real either, but for some reason that is the name this person seems to have chosen for Instagram and as his "legitimate" personality.

He has so many followers and that allows him to victimize people one at a time. He claims to be a lawyer and a linguist.

Isn't there something we can do as a community to stop this from happening to others?

Its not Cleyton youre talking to... even if it looks that way
by: Anonymous

Hey ladies. Someone just wrote they had a video chat with this man. The thing is, it´s not the man in the pic you are talking to. I don´t know how they do it but they are using some kind of technique to make it look like it´s the real person.

"My scammer" showed me once on videocall after I had confronted him with the facts. He called me up and the voice was still his (he was a young Nigerian man) but he used another person's image so to speak. It sure looked like it was the other person talking but it was not.

They are masters at it so, please until the opposite is proven do not believe a thing they say! Even after you have confronted them they will still try to fool you. There will always be something.

They are in deep regret, they are sick, they didn't mean to, they fall in love with you etc etc etc.

Cut contact and disappear!

Scammed
by: Anonymous

I was also scammed last year by someone claiming to be the man in these pictures. He called himself Alfred Joel Wilson. He supposedly was on an oil rig in Iran. He messaged me on words with friends and then moved to hangouts within two days.

He professed his love for me within 4 days. I fell for it for a month, but luckily never sent him money. I just recently confirmed that the real guy in these pics is Cleyton Oliveira.
I’m still mesmerized by his pictures. He’s so beautiful.

He's still at it!
by: Anonymous

Hi ladies,

I have been speaking with a Dennis Aubert for about a month now. Sadly, all of this happened to me. His dad died and he needed money to bury him and he got robbed. Then he got in a car crash (that's when I knew it was fake) because the hospital he told me he was at didn't have anyone there by that name.

I'm going to try and get my money back as I transferred it within my country not overseas. I also had video chats with him which is crazy because he is Cleyton Oliviera and I'm not too sure how to approach this because he should be arrested. He has spoken to me up until today so I'm sure he's on the prowl for the next victim.

He found me on Tinder and I did a Reverse Google search and found one of his photos on Pinterest then FB and then IG. He told me he has never been married, is 35 and lives in New Zealand and is an architect.

I am so glad I found this site!

Eoin Mark/ Williams Ronald
by: Anonymous

Hello, sadly I too fell victim to this insanity. I know this man as Eoin Mark, allegedly an engineer who lives in Dallas, Tx. Mother is American father was Portuguese.

He was a smooth talker and very moody. I always thought he had a dark side. I hope he is found. I Skyped with him but it was always fishy that his audio wasn’t working. He needs to be caught and stopped. No one should be deceived like this.

I have a theory that it’s more than one person working this. Google translate doesn’t work that well, or that fast.

His email was eoinmark39@gmail.com

Williams Ronald scammer - to be continued..
by: Angry swedish woman

Hey there ladies.

I was the one who started this post about "Williams Ronald" and wooohh it seems as though he is still on the hunt for ladies (money). Im sorry but yes, he is a scammer for sure and you should be very cautious. Im sure this person (image of Clayton Oliviera) is being used by several different people under different names, but I know for a fact the person who scammed me is still out there and still scamming people.

One year after he scammed me it's tragic. This person does not have a conscience at all. He does anything to get the money he thinks he's entitled to.

I have learnt so much about these people over the past year and it's driving me crazy that they are still out there, still doing their thing and no one is making an effort to try and catch them. I reported this to the FBI and to the same service in the UK, to the Swedish police who does nothing. I have got loads on this man who scammed me, and I have managed to find out a lot over the past year, info that could be used by the police but they wont bother.

Pls ladies, dont waste your time talking to these men, no matter what they say they are after: Friendship, compassion, partner, business whatever... if it sounds too good to be true then I'm afraid it is.

Scamner Clayton Oliviera, Portugal
by: Anonymous

Ladies Beware of this charming man.

We got to know each other through an Indian matrimonial app. He told his name is Ajay Manesh and is he is half Indian half Polish.

He wrote flowery emails and text messages and claimed to be in love which made no sense when we haven't even met. He showed too much interest too early. It was too good to be true.

I had a video call on viber with him and it was him. I still was not convinced with his name.

I did a image search on google and it turned out the guy is actually Cleyton Oliviera who is an Instagram star in Portugal.

I was disgusted with this and stopped talking to him.

I am lucky that I got away from his trap.

Girls use image search before you get even started talking. It is just painful to see that he is a guy living a lavish lifestyle, become an Instagram star by scamming the girls who are looking for love.

Hope he gets behind the bars soon.

They are all pigs
by: Anonymous

It is amazing how they can make you feel so guilty and how you are the only one that can help cause they have no one else in the whole world to help. What a bunch of junk. If we only tell them to go ahead and jump or take your life, your not there for whoever anyway, remember you are always working.

But it's so much easier to see this once you step away and are not so involved anymore. I just wish more of these guys could get caught.
