STEVE VIG, NEVER FALL FOR THE 'SENDING YOU A PACKAGE' SCAM.


STEVE VIG

THE MAN THE SCAMMERS ARE USING HERE IS THE MAN WITH TATTOOS ON HIS ARM.

He will tell you he is Steve Vig, an oil rig engineer working overseas but from California.

HE WAS ON FACEBOOK, NOW REMOVED AND PLENTY OF FISH, ALSO REMOVED.

'He' WILL ASK YOU TO ACCEPT BOXES WITH ALL HIS BELONGINGS IN TO BE SENT TO YOUR HOUSE.

Of course you pay for this service... a lot... THE DAY THEY WERE TO BE DELIVERED, MORE MONEY WAS ASKED FOR, EVEN ASKING THE WOMAN TO FLY TO GEORGIA TO PAY THESE FEES.... (it is getting more cruel).

ACCEPTING A BOX, PARCEL, SUITCASE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST SCAMS THEY USE. NEVER AGREE TO THIS.

NEVER SEND MONEY FOR ANYTHING AROUND SOMEONE YOU HAVE NEVER MET IN PERSON... IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SCAM.

All the information on this scammer has been sent to the FBI... I hope for once something is done about SCAMMERS. Breaking hearts, getting hard earned money and violating the men in the pictures and the women they steal from.

  1. Just to say again, the man in the picture is not who was scamming me. He is a victim also. I do not mean this man any harm or ill well, he had nothing to do with what happened to me. I pray each day that he will become aware of how his images are being used. I do not wish to remain anonymous. The person or persons who did scam me left me suffering in silence, unable to share what was going on with me, even with family. I will no longer do that. My name is Sharon Henson, I live in Springfield, Oregon.

    1. Thank you Sharon this is very brave. We have talked and I know so well how you feel.

      I think it is the helplessness all round that is the worst thing to cope with. I feel very helpless every day because we can do nothing more than this. The men in the pictures can do nothing, and that is so sad and just should not happen in anyone's life.

      Scamming is evil. I think it is the worst crime there is because it hits on so many levels and to so many people.

      Glad you came into Scamchat.. they are such a lovely bunch in there and it has happened to some of them as well. They are enjoying their fight back and they are good !!

      Nice to know you... Ruth.

  2. Thank you Ruth. I think one of the hardest things for me has been all the unanswered questions and no closure. I don't know the man with the tattoos in the pictures, I wish I did. At least to know he is doing well somewhere out there in this big world and that he is at least aware this is happening to him. Maybe some closure for me. I don't know who the man was on the other end of the phone, there are times that I wish I did know him too but I know I was just another job to him, a way to make a living. That should be closure enough and for the most part, it is. But I have little triggers, someone may say something that he said to me, and I hear it in his voice, and I am right back there again. Listening to his soothing voice saying all the loving things my heart needed to hear. I don't consider myself brave, I am a emotional wreck right now, but putting this out there has helped me cope with this. I am seeing a counselor now but being able to share my feelings with others who have been through this too, has helped me so much. I still have bad days, it is all still fresh for me. I still miss the man in the pictures, the nameless man that I will probably never even know his name, as much as I pray that I will. I take it minute by minute, that is all I can do right now. Thank you Ruth, it is nice to know you too. Sharon

    1. One thing I believe and act on a lot is that the man in the pictures should not be involved. I know you need closure.. but he never even opened anything ! Can you imagine what it is like for these men to have to answer to victims? We talk to some that contact us here... and to a lot of wives as well who find it hard when they have been said to have been dead ! Or to women thinking they are in love with their husbands. So it is so important that they don't have to deal with this. Would it be closure for you. I don't think so.. it would just open more questions.

      The man on the phone? He isn't making a living. He is a greedy, lazy criminal and there are NO excuses or nice ways to dress that up. That soothing voice... loving words. But.. think back. Was it too good to be true? Think back and was it really too good??

      I think you are brave.. because you have bad days but you haven't buckled under. Some do.

      Just know that this is a time in your life that has turned bad and give yourself time. It is like a bereavement. Nobody tells you a bereavement is easy... and this is what this is.

      But don't let it drown you.... you are woman and you are strong. You might not think you are ... but oh girl, you are !!!
