by: Anonymous

Have played WWF’s for years and never had a stranger message me until a few years ago. Occasionally, I’ll get several at one time!! Then none for a while, odd. I’ve played some as I love the game, they fall in love so fast it’s pathetic! Dead wife usually and a kid or two. Most on Oil rigs or a Doctor, who was actually using a famous neurosurgeons pictures!!

I called him out on that, and he said he’s the real guy and they’ve stolen his pictures! Yeah right 🤦🏻‍♀️ Talk for a bit then they always have an excuse why they cannot talk on WWF’s, ask to go to Hangouts or What’s app. They always have a frozen account or something and NEED your assistance!! That’s when I dump them. They get disappointed in you, too BAD!!

Here’s some names...James Bolton the Dr, Paschal Bardsley (Ramos) supposedly in the Army, Greg Cox, Eric Coleman, Adam Colman "Oil rig" people!!?

Ever heard of any of these?

Thanks and be very careful.

by: Anonymous

Ok wwf is full of scammers, you report them, but they just reappear. So before you play someone who is normally level 1, has a profile name with numbers in it, usually showing US and has only just started, then check out the photo!

So pull up their profile photo, screen shot it to your photo file. Then go to Dupli Checker, and reverse image. Upload photo and search. You will get most of the reverse image searches come up. Just go through each one and search (except the last two if you don’t speak Chinese).

I find most of the dodgy ones have multiple reports against them on here. So when you find a scammer don’t play them just report abuse to Zynga. And if any of your ‘mutual’ friends are playing them drop them a warning chat.

IF we work together they will hopefully get the message that it’s just not worth the effort and protect the people who are getting scammed.

So has anyone had this guy contact them on WwF? My older sister is chatting with this guy. Says from California. Widower, Daughter in college,
Engineer for oil rigs etc, Got her to go to whats app to chat. His emails just don’t seem like someone who is an engineer.

Mostly normal but just overuse of emojis and some off grammar - She sent me a couple of his emails and of course after a week he’s professing love etc. Photos are of a guy with a goatee with al little dog.

He is attractive enough but something seems off - so has anyone had any contact with a Mason Lewis or Peter Foster matching above?

My mom was recently scammed out of several hundred dollars (that we know of) by someone she met on WWF. He claims to be on a "secret" mission with the military. His wife and daughter died, and only has a grandmother in Alabama.

But when my brother confronted him on the phone, he had a thick Nigerian accent. No mention of his parents. Started communicating with my mom through Google Hangouts, and has her paying for some type of calling subscription. She’s still convinced he’s telling her the truth and her family is out to ruin his life.

Such a heartbreaking situation!

This person has the usual being widowed, daughter 9 with nanny working off shore in the Black Sea. At times very intelligent then very romantic almost like more than one person and came on too fast too soon.

Checked with a friend on wwf and she had someone with the same circumstances. We compared pictures same guy but different names. Then the ask to chat on a different site and then the sad tale of wallet lost in the sea, food needed for daughter, and steam card urgently needed.

He made the mistake of calling and is obviously African.

So happy I found this site! On WWF, Dr. Jeffrey David Anderson, Orthopedic Surgeon, from Belgium challenged me. Wife died two years ago. Has two little girls being cared for by an old stepsister in Brussels.

Wants to get together on WhatsApp or wants to call me (yea--right!). Was soo annoyed when I said I was old enough to be his mother--said how could I put age as a barrier to a relationship (haha).

Blocked him but wish I'd reported him to WWF.
Googled his moniker and sure enough there are several profiles with the same name on Pinterest and a dating site. Same photo is then used for different names.

Be on your toes, be safe!

All this didn’t work. I researched and found many woman go through this. So I sent him a message. Oil rig romance scams. You are so stupid. It makes me laugh. That was a lot work in one month. And you got zilch!

There are literally thousands of these scammers. They want to go to WhatsApp and hangouts because it doesn’t kill their data. When they run out of data is when they stop playing against you. Please report them as abuse rather than just block them. The more we can get them disabled, the harder it is for them to start all over.

There are groups that focus just on the scammers so join one and help this out. The more we can get them reported to the game, maybe they will actually do something about It.

You can spot them this way. The number under their name is usually a 1-7. They go by the first and last name of a mans name. Example: Bob Michael. Would be his full name. Any two first names of men.

Their pictures are NOT them. Nor are their stories true. Don’t be swept off your feet by their sweet talk, interest in you ladies and give them nothing personal about yourself. I got caught up with one on Friends With Words 2, fell in love, but he got no money from me.

I learned the hard way, of getting caught up by a kind spoken man. My heart is healed and I’m much wiser from this. Now I know what to look for.

Reading through all these comments and the same story - at first I thought this was a "normal" guy but quickly after a few chats things did not add up:

Electrical contractor for oil rig
15 year old daughter ( full custody) & parent’s deceased
Currently working from home
Changed his profile pic three times within a few hours

He asked me questions about myself - I answered with very "limited" information. He sent me his mobile number and wanted me to text him immediately. Said nope - did not want to give out personal details but happy to play WWF’s and chat on occasions.

Wanted me to go to Hangouts as it was easier to text from there - said I wasn’t familiar with that platform and needed to check it out but didn’t really do anything.

He is gone now but I have another one that I am stringing along until I get bored🤣🤣🤣

One such scammer told me he was a widower in the military on a secret assignment overseas. He had one son. The university he said he attended was an all women’s college. He wanted me to go on Google Chat. I did not. He wanted me to send him a money gift card. I did not. His grammar was atrocious, but he kept coming up with outrageous words to get a high score.

I did report him to Words With Friends, but never heard back. I do not use my real photo, but just a cartoon face for my avatar.

They will continue to try to scam as long as there are suckers out there that co-operate with them.

Since I realize there’s a ton of them on here I’ll try to sum it up.

Used Peter B as his username. Picture of a guy faced away looking at the Hollywood sign. Contacts you seeming normal and pleasant. Right from the beginning he claims to be a US paratrooper stationed in Syria. Had lots of pictures. A picture for just about every situation.

Will ask to go to hangouts and is very attentive. His typing has red flags and I don’t believe he’s American. Says it’s autocorrect or that hes Canadian when asked. Did use hangouts to call me once and he’s 💯 percent not American. Lol.

Claims to have a daughter and to be from California. Umm there is a beautiful US military guy named Bedley but it’s definitely not this person. Found the real one on Instagram and it’s Zack Bedley.

If this sounds like your scammer checkout his pics to compare!! Watch your back ladies!! And don’t believe a word they say.

Scam artist contacted my mother after playing Words With Friends, he uses WhatsApp. Originally said he was from Italy, now it's Greece. He romanced my mom over the phone, said he works on an oil rig in Texas. He has an accent and uses 2 different telephone numbers. After a couple weeks he asked her for money to pay for his kids' neck surgery.

He said he will have $8 million dollars at the end of this month and will pay her back for the medical costs. In a separate transaction, he said he needed medication. In another transaction, he asked her to buy boxes of facemasks for all of his employees at the oil rig.

He goes under the name Freeman Lee. My mother sent so many transactions within a matter of 3 days and over $6,000. She is disabled and they prey on anyone and drain their money. The money wasn't even sent to him, it was sent to his kids "caretaker" and then his 12 yr old daughter's bank account??

The fraudulent accounts through PayPal are Phyllis Hunt Bennette the caretaker and Kelvin Lee the supposed 12 year old daughter.

Howard Brown or brownward81@gmail.co

Claims to be a widower for a few years. Started on words with friends. Says why not go on hangouts its more of a private chat spot. Chats like a very intelligent man, loves to chat about your life, asks many details about your family. Genuinely concerned about you. Makes you feel very comfortable to share your story. Once you go on hangouts he gets very personal. Likes to know when you get home from work etc.

Claims to have to travel to Qatar to renovate a soccer stadium for a year but would love to talk to you while he is away. He claims to be from Oak Hill Tennesse.

He even has the time difference all figured out.
He makes sure and messages things like "Good Morning beautiful" " I miss you" " Hope you have a great Day sweetie"

Months went by and all of a sudden he says" I can't talk anymore unless I get a Google Play Card in the amount of $500.

Then we can still talk everyday for the rest of the year that I will be away. He got my phone number and when I refused the card he started calling and texting. Referring to me as his wife. He got very rude and demands a picture of the back of the card.

He blocks and deletes conversations from hangouts. He is very convincing and will send pictures he claims is him 58 years old nice looking gentleman but he has a very distinct Nigerian accent. I told him he didn't sound like his picture would be the same person.

Sick of scammers so I play along, here are a few ideas -

If you’re a woman say the photo is your wife and you are either gay or her husband.

Tell them you are out of work and need money for food, can they help.

Say you are in the fraud squad (but wait for a few messages first) and thank them for messaging so much as you have been tracking their messages and close to arresting them for fraud.

Tell them you know they are scammers and hope someone scams their mother/sister/grandmother in the same way as they do.

Or play along and when they confess their undying love for you say you are getting a flight to visit them.

I have tried all these in the past, they soon disappear. But now I have got wise to them, check how long they have been playing the game and as soon as they message with Hello Dear/you are beautiful/ etc I block them.

Well, I fell for his promises of love. Mark Dockery was full of compliments, told me he loved me and that we would get married and live happily ever after. He said his wife left him and his son wanted a mother and was so happy to finally have one.

Mark had numerous pictures of himself and his son. Mark was also an engineer on a boat and couldn't talk because of security reasons. Well, he started asking how much money I had in my savings account and what bank I used. Then proceeded to tell me at the end of his contract he was getting a large sum of money and he wanted me to hold it for him. He said because he trusted me with his life!

Wow, well that's when I looked up this site. His profile was new and his games were few. I just deleted him, without a word. I didn't want to hear another word from him. Took a lot of my time and a lot of hope.

Had four men chat to me and all were divorced or widowed and each had one child. One was an oil rigger from Texas. The latest is a ship captain and he told me he is 58 but his photo looks much younger. His wife died five years ago and he has a son. I knew he was a scammer but agreed to go on hangouts which they all suggest.

I wondered how long it would take for him to drop himself in it. Couple of hours and he asked for my email and password to check I was genuine. I had already mentioned to him about scammers which he pretended he didn’t understand what they did. I obviously didn’t give my email so I asked for his. He said no need as I can trust him. He keeps calling me dear.

I’ve now deleted hangouts and tomorrow when he messages me on friends he will ask why and I will say "cos u are a scammer ....my dear"

He's been playing since 2018 so I thought perhaps he was legit. His picture is of a man in his late 30s - early 40s with a young daughter. Tried chatting with me immediately with a "Good game." After a day I responded with Thanks and he asked my name. I lied. Asked me my hobbies and I replied, Sorry, I'm at work and don't have time to chat back and forth.

He then gave me a phone number and said to text him. After a few hours, he said he was still waiting for my text. The next day, he texted, Hi, and I didn't respond. I made my move and then he deleted our game and he was gone. He wasn't a bad player and I was winning, too!

How do they just delete the game without resigning? Another red flag is when he said, I stay in San Francisco.

Anyway, don't chat with him.

Sound familiar? There are so many men out there with this exact story. He wants you to go on hangouts or talk via viber. Last conversation I had with him, he was asking me to go to a bitcoin machine to send money.

Amazing that he would think I would ever do that. I told him no, and he replied trying to tell me that his accounts are frozen due to him being overseas on a big contract and he will pay it back once he gets paid.

This must be a new scam going off what’s in here. This man lived supposedly in Mississippi and after a few preliminaries he mentioned he traded in bitcoins and did I know what they were. When I said yes he then asked me if I wanted to know all about them. When I said no (suspecting a scam) he vanished.

I took his picture off WWF but when I tried reverse imaging it came back negative, so it could be a personal photo of someone else. I can’t remember his name and he had vanished before I made a record of it.

But beware of this type of scam.

Claims to be a 56 year old Norwegian widower raising his two grand kids. Says he’s currently working as an engineer for Subsea 7 on a rig in the Irish Sea. Contract up in January and he’ll return to his home in Oslo. Grand kids are in boarding school in Oslo but the school name he provided is a public school. Name of school Oslo Handelsgymnasium. Wife died 6 years ago and he also has a deceased son.

We talked for about 3 weeks before he started asking me to buy Amazon gift cards and eventually wire money ($5000.00) to help with his grand kids school excursion costs to Turkey. Now hitting me up for another $4000.00 because they need to get back to Norway and return to school. Not falling for any more!! Real smooth talker. Madly in love with me. Always asking for pics of me and my home which I stupidly provided. He loves music as do I so he was always sending you tube videos.

Ladies stay clear!!!! Called me my queen, honey, sweetheart. Talked every day for hours. Needed gift cards for "signal" to continue to be able to talk with me. Could not make calls or do video chat, text only due to company rules and security issues.

He is very clever in leading the conversation in a very smart way into the for him right direction. He beguiles you with his charm and falls very quickly in Love with you not without making sure that you feel the same.

After 2 weeks I was about to fall for him, I suggested a video call. He said for health and safety reasons this is not possible on an oil rig. I told my friend about him and also showed her a photo of him. Her partner really works on an oil rig and she knows that video calls are permitted in the living quarters only. Apart from that his face was familiar to her and we found out via Google Photo search that the man on the photos is an American Entrepreneur.

I often play the Lightning Round feature on WWF as well as the regular games and lately I have literally been bombarded by these types of scammers. Look on their profile as most will have only about 4-10 games on their roster.

Their writing is tenuous at best, bad punctuation, caps when caps are not needed. They start out with an innocent "Hello," ask where you live, if you are married and have have kids. They might ask you what your favorite color/food is. Then they ask if and where you work.

I have been saying recently "I'm an investigator for an internet fraud bureau." Usually hear nothing from them after that. Game either times out or they mysteriously leave. It's annoying and I hate that a fun game I really enjoy playing is sullied by these fools.

Edward began by being a really sweet guy with the same old story; I work as an engineer on an oil rig, widowed, and want to retire after this job. He just politely played the game, making sweet comments for weeks.

Then he asked for $10,000 about a week after he said he loved me. I strung him along for a week or so, then he became belligerent and stopped talking to me.

by: Anonymous

I love to play WWF. I am married and not looking to chat with men. I receive countless chats from many of the men named below, and have found the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. They will eventually go away. I have sparred with a few out of boredom.

One told me to go fock myself. Yes, spelled like that. One guy called me beautiful. Since my avatar is a cartoon of a mermaid, I thought that was pretty funny. Ladies, if you're lonely, go to a site that is set up expressly for meeting someone. All I want to do is play this game, and if I want to chat it's with people I know. Don't fall for these scammers.

He said he was an Engineer, Supervisor on an oil rig in North Pacific. I was asked to communicate by email with his son. I did this but eventually there was an excursion to be paid for and Kelvin's bank account had been frozen due to inactivity.

I offered to help and was told the sum of $538US was needed for the trip and the best way to get the money there was to buy itune cards and photograph the back of the cards so that a dealer could then send the money to his guardian. BEWARE

This scammer claims to be the four star general, James Amos (who is a real general who was in the running for Trump’s Secretary of Defense.) He uses pics of the real General Amos, that a quick Google search can produce. Claims to be on a UN peacekeeping mission in Kabul, Afghanistan. He asks general questions, but upon reflection, I realize that are often the kinds of questions used for security questions.

After two days of chatting on WEF, he lured me to Google Hangouts. The next day my radar went up. I blocked him on GH. Then somehow he got my cell phone number because he started calling me (showed up on my phone as a call from Afghanistan.) My techy friends say that it’s easy to "spoof" a call to make it look like it’s from somewhere else.

Blocked him on my phone, and then got a blitz of messages on WWF. "You stupid woman. A..hole. F... you. Bitch." Obviously blocked him on WWF. Luckily I got out before the request for $ that others here report.

But when I asked him why his sister couldn't send him any iTunes or bitcoin, he sadly confided in me that his sister is being admitted somewhere.

I have been playing this game for two years. It is very rare somebody sends me a message and if they do, usually it is for dirty photos (men!) . But, for the past two years, it's been relatively quiet and I was able to enjoy the game.

Fast forward two weeks ago, the first one was quite friendly, no romantic messages or such. But after a few days he offered me info on a "credit card" I can purchase for a minimal fee with unlimited credit limit. I immediately blocked him.

After that was all hell broke loose and I have been getting 2-3 different men everyday with the same sob story (oil rig worker, widowed with kids). I didn't think about it that much as profile pics accompanied by kids usually. I only got suspicious when there was a nonstop request for hangouts, whats app plus the fact that all of them began to get "clingy" and persistent.

Fast forward, I googled and saw this forum.

I blocked all of them and regret doing it before posting their names here. I normally do not write reviews etc but I just want all the ladies to be extra careful. I am married and not looking for something but I can easily see women falling for this scam.

Today I got the second guy starting a conversation with me. They start asking where I am from and am I happily married. NO ONE ever starts a conversation, so I found it odd that in a week two guys started them with me. I found this site and now it all makes sense. I delete the games before any other info is gleaned from me, but wow!

What low-life people!

starstarstarstarstar 		Words With Friends ( WWF) Green Grant Fund
by: Anonymous

Scammers - Peter Morgan - sad story, divorced because wife is drug addict. Had to make a hard choice for the safety of their children, etc. Son lives in Greece with relatives. It's sweetie this and dear that when he didn't even know me.

He missed talking to me after three chat messages. English is half decent and half broken. Very persistent even when you try nicely to get them to back off. Then, BAM, all of a sudden there is some kind of green grant fund that will just give you money and you never have to pay it back.

He said He would be happy to send information via a text link - so they are now wanting my cell number. They wanted me to download hangouts and chat with me there?? Very persistent on how simple it was to use and how very private it is.

They wanted my children's names - which I would not give. I finally started asking questions about this "grant" and they started just sending the same messages they had sent previously like a telemarketer spewing their scripts. I finally called the guy on what a scam it was and told him never to message me again.

So far I haven't heard from him.

Be wary of people and don't EVER give out any personal information. If you are on Words with Friends to meet someone romantically - go elsewhere. Go somewhere where someone actually vets people. Don't willingly give out ANY information to anyone.

Beware of "Angelo" from California. Works on an oil rig as a contractor for Suncor, widower (what a shocker), 15 y.o. daughter in boarding school, the usual marginal English with 2 alleged degrees from Columbia.

The usual pathetic lines and nearly instant desire for a relationship leading to marriage. Yeow. Talked for nearly a month (about 29 days too long!) and then the inconsistencies were just too creepy and hard to ignore.

Keep posting everyone. We can't let the creeps win -- although they've lost big time by being, well, creeps!

by: Anonymous

Photo of Man in White Shirt with bouquet of flowers and Bloomers monogrammed in Red on shirt. Photo belongs to man working in Florist shop in Georgia. Scammer has photograph of the same man with a goat. That goat belongs to the florists owners. Fake scammer works on an oil platform in the Gulf, wife died 6 yrs ago, daughter died, has responsibility of granddaughter, etc, etc.

Works far away 3 or four weeks then time off. First had flown to Denver, then realized he had a pet goat and needed home. Ha! I investigated photos he said was from the platform in the Gulf. When I asked again, he retyped Pacific ocean. I asked would he fly to Galveston to get to the platform, and he typed yes.

No way is the Gulf not near Pacific Ocean. I know all that area & Denver, too. Good 'ol Rex still playing.

by: Anonymous

I think there's an organized effort to collect information, not just money, and use it to create identities. I've been getting WWF invitations daily from strange men who start immediately asking questions like they're reading off a form. "What is Your Marital Status?" and "Where do you live and Where did you live last?" They start with no photo, but if I say hi back, they post an image of an attractive man.

Two names to watch out for: Dave Schwart and Mark Spenser. See how they're both common names with uncommon spellings?

I'm wondering if this is getting worse since Craigslist stopped its personal ads. I hope not. I love to play and I usually have lots of games going. I am going back to my no chat policy, but it's a shame that this is happening.

Needs phone, blah blah started needing $$$ and it started with 2500.00 but now it’s down to $100. Or whatever I can send.

Pictures are photoshopped and are easily noticeable as such. Talked me into getting google hangouts. He wants me for his wife and mother for his child. Blah blah blah

Sad thing is I actually fell for him before he started asking for money. Oh well live and earn.

Claims to be a Lawyer - Diplomat. Very convincing and charming. Lives in Wiltz, Luxembourg. I gave out my email address after months of grooming. Several lovely photos were sent of him and his daughter.

Have been contacted by a so called doctor on Maxi‘s WWF chat from Belize stating Maxi has had a terrible car accident and is in a coma. His only contact is me through maxi’s phone go figure. He said he accessed his phone using his finger print.

He’s pleading with me to send $850US to perform surgery on him as it looks like I am very close to him.

He can’t do any surgery for his broken wrists, collar bone and leg without someone sending money first.

Clearly I have been conned. No money sent. I contacted another woman he plays on WWF and he had played her ten minutes prior even though he was apparently in a Coma for three days in Belize.

EVERY single day when I go on WWF to actually play with real friends I get a scammer. The same old story:

* an engineer / oil rig worker / military
* widow with wife dead 4 or 5 years
* son or daughter who is in boarding school / lives with his mother / has a live in nanny
* currently working elsewhere from permanent residence in the US or UK
* uses the word ‘okay’ constantly
* calls me dear and comments on my beauty within first 5 questions
* wants me to go to hangout and he ‘will like to know me better okay" within first few comments

For those of us who are onto theses guys, it is somewhat comical and I tend to play along until I call them out on their poor grasp of English and ask why it is so bad when they have been university educated?

I told one I had a husband who is a criminal lawyer and he deleted me which was hilarious! The more women know about then, the better armed we are to knock them down. As I say to others, including my parents who are targeted by these people, thinking they are elderly and not competent if you don’t know them physically in the real world, do NOT give them anything or too much information.

Sadly, these people have no regard for others and little moralality. WWF needs some sort of way to deal with these people as not everyone is as savvy as some of us!!

His Name is Michael Krass on POF who is very handsome white hair 60 years old. Said he lived in Vista, CA. Started talking every day online. He was completely in love with me within a week. Widowed 7 years ago. One daughter 17 attending university in UD studying Pharmacy.

Within weeks his "daughter" emailed me, calling me MOM and how happy she was her father finally found love again. We never met, but we were scheduled to meet, but he wins a 40 million dollar contract (sent me a copy of the contract) and has to leave that week for Aberdeen, Scotland.

Gave me many details of the rig, and his english was very good, parents are dead, and he sent childhood pictures of himself. He was very good!! He cannot wait to get back, he will spoil me the rest of my life. blah!!

While on the rig his daughter in UK gets robbed of all her money and phone and will not be able to pay the school fees to sit for her exams. He's so distraught, asks me to send the money directly to her school master, and gives the routing information. Of course he will repay me as soon as he returns home.

So glad I did not allow myself to be taken by this man. His words every day were so wonderful, it was easy to fall for him.

My scammer cannot be found on any social media but I haven’t asked him if he is on social media either.

He never asked for my email or to go into chat rooms either. I’ve read that Nigerian scammers will not answer your questions and go by a script. However my scammer answered ALL my questions and even let me take the lead.

There were different things that threw me off with his English. Sometimes sounded like he was from the U.K. but claimed he was from the US. He said he was from the same city in fact.

Instead of claiming hardship he told me that the job he is on is making him a lot of money and talked about starting a business with me when he gets home.

I have scanned his pictures on every site I can find and there are no matches. I was so afraid he could hack my phone so I blocked his number.

I wanted to report him to help save someone else for falling for him but most sites require the scammers email address.

I hope to God I wasn’t reading too much into it and I didn’t let the real thing go lol! But I figured I went this long without a man better to be safe than sorry! 🙄

Same. Messaged me on Words With Friends. We switched briefly to regular cellular text. The town he told me he lived in is only thirty minutes from where I live in and he was never married. Brother died in a car accident a year ago and his 12 yr old niece now lives with his mom in Ohio. Marine engineer leaving for Texas for 3 months.

He texts me every day. Picture is average guy. Sent me a picture of him and his brother and told me he misses him everyday. Sent me a picture of his niece too. His english is very good but does use "cos" frequently. Seems to be very good in geography. Told me a lot about his job in great detail. Said this will be his last "contact" because he can do consulting and stay in one place so he can raise his niece.

He has not asked me for money. On the contrary he knows that I am unemployed and asked if I missed being in the salon industry because having my own salon could happen when he gets home because this "contract" pays very well and that’s why he took the job.

He said he wished he met me before he had to leave and can’t wait to meet me when he gets back. He has answered any questions that I asked him.

There’s just things that don’t make sense. I can’t find him anywhere on social media. I scanned all his pictures and nothing came up with a red flag. His cell number is registered to Ohio where he said he lived before moving to NJ.

I’ve talked to him during the day and at night. He wanted to know if I was "into him" and he says that he is "into me" and talking to him makes him "smile ear to ear like a baby". Says he thinks about me all day at work.

I’ve never been on any dating websites. I don’t even play strangers on WWF or follow strangers when on Instagram or Facebook. I have no idea why I responded back to him on WWF but it was NYE and i guess the festivities softened me.

I have been on every scam site and social media trying to find his name or picture associated to a scam, but NOTHING.

He goes by Edward Edison and there are Edison’s in Ohio and an older man is involved with a marine oceanography company. Looks like he owns it with a partner. Another "Edward Edison" in Ohio should be 60 yrs old but died at age 37.

So my red flag went up that he stole this mans identity! He has never asked my age either. Just if I was married before we started talking and then a few days later came "do you have a boyfriend". He asked my religion and said he’s Christian and his profile pic on WWF has him standing in front of a Christmas tree. He said he doesn’t know his father and his mother was born in Israel but lives in Ohio now.

HELP! Am I being scammed? Has anyone played him on WWF? Every time he texts me I picture a Nigerian behind a computer!

Made me change my email to a gmail acct to communicate...i did it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Used me once.

Had me send him a $200 gift card for iTunes. Used a credit card but he wanted me to go to Walmart in person to buy it. Duh? Out only $200, thank God.

Am married. Didn’t care.i was having marital issues...so i was gullible.

Should I worry about my credit card?

I have multiple pics of him and "his dgtr" in boarding school. Spoke on phone sev X...had thick German accent. Poor writing skills. But played WWF like a whiz. Prob cheated. Can send these pics to someone.

I fell for him only $200 worth. Contact me at lschlick@rochester.rr.com or cell 716-352-3244.if you know this guy. He was weird, but they use the romance to blind you.

He claims to have a daughter Lisa in a boarding school and claims he is a widower, whose wife died in childbirth. His claim is he works as an engineer in the sea off of Scotland. There is more but too overwhelming for me to repeat. He is looking for money to buy electric jackets for his crew.
