He is now using the name Chris Downs on POF and asking for money for child support for his child because he has no access to his fans because his auntie is in the hospital dying in a coma and only has a few weeks to live and she is the only one that he gave permission to touch his money to pay his child-support
Well he's still going strong, got a new number, (631)542-5413, Claiming to be originally English, born in Birmingham, moved to USA to Florida as a 15 year old with his mum and dad and Brother. Stayed single for most of his adult life due to Army commitments, 1st Red flag was he told me that like me, both his parents were dead, then he told me, that his Dad and his Brother moved to Spain, Nr Barcelona, but he is no longer is contact with either of them,
He said he then met and married and settled in Phoenix Arizona, but unfortunately the marriage ended afterr 2 years, but they had one daughter, Katie aged 4, and she is his absolute pride and joy, he and his had separated when Katie was 3, and then she died a year later of cancer and he is now a single father and he tries not to think about it, as he misses Katie so much, but she is close by in New York with a Nanny, and he is based at Fort Drum, where they are on high alert because of the threats and his job in 'Special Ops' is very demanding, but he is due to retire end of August 2018, and he is going to bring her to UK..
2nd red Flag, would I be willing to relocate, as he feels an immense connection to me...
I'm in 2 minds whether to continue his charade, and wait till he asks me for money, lol
Other things that set alarm bells off, was the continual use of calling me baby and sweet baby.
and also the fact that his understand of the English written word is not good, and
finally, every question I asked him, he took ages to reply, and his reply was the same
as what was on Wiki, haha.

He's on Plenty of Fish pof.com dating site and is using that he's deployed in Ghana and can't stand the food. Please send food stuffs. Claiming to be John Downs and needing money for food. After 23 years in the Army, you'd think he'd be getting paid a little bit of something so he could buy his own food.

Claims to have two girls aged 10 and 7, wants to travel and buy a house "wherever we love to be". Ha.
Wanted me to send money via his "Agent" - absolute scam but still kept trying after I called him out on it. Also saw a profile on Linkedin saying the name was Dustin Downs and using one of the photos.

Newest phone number was (424)290-0373 in case you'd like to contact him.
He contacted me recently. Seemed legit until he sent me an email with some sculpture story. Laid all the loving stuff out there. Thank God my red flag went up and I didn't go any further. Everything from above he told me too. Sent some of the same pictures. Claimed to have a son. I blocked him on my email, social media, phone. Gotta hand it to him, he's good.
ReplyDeleteAre they good? I am not so sure. Does anyone really get so loving so quick. That to me is a joke that is so far from real life. They know what they are doing and run to a script. Glad you blocked him.

He is in a lot of places and they to bring him out time and again.
DeleteThe food in Ghana bit always amuses me. For one thing, the Army are not deployed in Ghana. Second, on an Army base they serve the same food the world over.
Third.. Is he going to wander down to the local Accra Fried Chicken or somewhere to buy this fabled food !!
They will keep going.. it's called being greedy pigs. !
Newest phone number was (424)290-0373 in case you'd like to contact him.
ReplyDeleteNO !! I don't contact scammers. I'll but the number here so it can be searched though !! Thank you
DeleteWas just given this number from Anderson on POF, username usawirt9yu56. I told him I have internet and know he's a scammer and he replied "what do you mean". Reported him to POF.
DeleteThey always are 'innocent' !!! The real person in the pictures.. it's just all the rest are fake.. !!!! HE'S FAKE.. glad you reported him !
DeleteHe is on POF right now on Feb 1st 2018 under the username etzdnetxGODsonScott1AB. Claims to live in Hope, Rhode Island.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen... well !! You know that is one fish in that particular sea that is fake.. be careful. It's flooded with them on there.
DeleteI'll put this here so it's searchable.
Yes I just called him out on all of this also. He is asking what's wrong? Like he doesn't know. I knew if seemed fishy (pun intended)
ReplyDeleteStill running this scam. He is using a few different pictures. Thank god for google reverse image search!
ReplyDeleteHes still at it, he was on Tinder, we both swiped right, I'm in UK, it said he was 4,000 odd km's away, I asked him where he was, he said he was working his retirement out in Fort Drum, Suffolk County, I've checked google and the telephone number that he gave me, and that does have the correct area code, but he calls me 'sweet baby' far too much, and for someone who is apparently English, who moved to States when he was 15 with his parents and his brother, and was educated in Florida, I don't know how he managed to get into the 'Special Op's' division of the US Army, you have to have graduated, and his understanding of English isn't good.
ReplyDeleteHe told me that he was married 6 years ago, and they had a little girl, aged 4, nearly 5, that they divorced when she was 2 and the mother died of cancer when she was 3, and since then he has been a single dad, and his life is his daughter, and he was moving to UK which is why he was on Tinder UK and he is due into the Country end of August 2018... That he owns a house in Birmingham, which is where his family is from.. Would I consider relocating.
Red flags from day one, far too perfect, he is everything a girl who is looking for Mr Right could want, not to mention, sooo good looking.
He has sent pictures to me that I've not seen in any of the fake photo's on here and on other scam lists, I will try to post them up..
His most recent number is, (631)542-4513 and is now going by Carlos Downs, altho once talking he told me his name was Michael Carlos Downs.
I'm in two minds whether to string him along and wait till he asks me for money, I'll keep you posted.

On my Messages board on FB and here every day we have dozens on Messages where they can't get rid of the scammer / are being blackmailed by them (your picture photoshopped onto a naked body and send to friends) / hacked / and various other distressing nuisances.
DeletePlease don't... the problems they bring now and forever are not worth it.
If you think you can go on and then drop him... you are really not understanding this scum
I've got several new pics he is using, Same guy as all his other names, but his time with a child... I've marked them as fake, and blackened out the kiddies face, but dont know how to post, please advise.
ReplyDeletescamhatersunited@gmail.com or the Facebook page on Messages is the best.
