FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
Q. I got a lovely video message.
He used my name and a pet name he has for me,
it had to be the guy in the pictures ?? Right?
NO ! A.I. messages quickly made on an iphone are getting very common in scams now.
These messages are made with a photo, a snip of a voice and someone typing in what they want said.. and ! YOU HAVE A PERSONALISED VIDEO!
not proof he's real. dO NOT LET THEM FOOL YOU THIS WAY.
~~~~~~~~
There is no substitute for a LONG video call as you would have with a friend.
You will never get this but everyone CAN do this, oil rig, military and NOBODY has a broken phone camera.
A.I. IS HERE AND IT IS CAUSING PROBLEMS. Men are getting accused of being the actual scammer because of AI Messages... DON'T MAKE THE SCAM SO EASY.
NEVER SEND MONEY

Q. I am talking to someone who says they are on a Peacekeeping Mission to Syria
~
The United Nations has Peacekeeping Missions in a few places (THIS CAN BE CHECKED ON THEIR WEBSITE)...
WHERE THERE IS NOW PEACE AFTER WAR.
THE USA DOES NOT CARRY OUT THESE DUTIES. IT IS MADE UP OF SEVERAL COUNTRIES GIVING TROOPS FOR THIS.
They have special uniforms with light blue headwear. If your 'friend' says
PEACEKEEPING YOU KNOW IT IS A SCAM.
Q. I sent my scammer
pictures of me and my family. What will happen to them?
Any pictures they get will be used.
They use Children as 'motherless children in a future scam.
**
There are a lot of 'YOU HAVE WON'
fake accounts and they use 'ordinary' people for these, make them look believable.
**
Fake job ads,, they use 'ordinary people' again in those

Q. The person I am talking to has me talking to his sister and daughter. She calls me 'Mom' but now is asking for gifts.
It is hard but don't think of the man in the pictures. Think of a room full of young males. They will each be a 'Character' in your
'relationship' to make it seem more real.
The family members are gang members. They will tell you how they like your relationship. It is common for a 'child' to ask for gifts. Or you are asked to send gifts as 'dad' is working. Often iphones or Macbooks! NEVER SEND ANYONE ANYTHING. IT WILL ALWAYS BE A SCAM
Q. I have got messages from women saying they are Keanu Reeves mother and do I want to meet him?
This is A VERY COMMON SCAM.
They will make fake accounts saying they are
best friend/mother/sister
of some star and do you want their contact on
telegram/whatsapp or similar.
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM. Just another way to get you into a celebrity scam
Q. The person I am talking to online gets nasty when I don't send money or cards.
Get away from them.
In real life you'd
call it an 'Abusive
Relationship' yet
online it often happens.
No amount
of ''love you babe''
will make it OK.
You deserve better than
having to send
anything to anyone.
Anger and threats...
BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK
IT WILL NEVER
BE REAL
Q. The person I am talking to has asked to see my ID and even asks for SSN number.
A large part of Romance Scam
is Identity Theft. By getting your
age, birthday and address they can
look to make accounts in your name.
With ID they can get more, with SSN
they can steal a lot in your name.
NEVER tell too much to a stranger. Do not send ID or register with ID.ME
Q. Does anyone in the
Military have to pay for their own flight home?
ALL Military fly their people to where they are sent.. together.. and back.
NO-ONE HAS TO APPLY FOR LEAVE. Flights home are NOT to pay for.
NO FORMS TO FILL IN
NO MONEY TO SEND
You will
never
be
contacted by
'The Commander'

Q. I am talking to someone and
they have not asked me for anything.
Could this still be a scam?
~~~~~~~~~~~
The scammers will
'groom' a victim until they feel they are ready to send. They are scamming 100+ others at the same time.
They can wait.
If you have said you
have been in a scam in the past, they will wait and be extra nice.
When cards/cash are asked for. Be strong enough to move away.
Q. The person I am talking to gave
me the Bank Account website and log ins.
When I logged in it said they had $millions in there.
The websites are FAKE... all made for the scam. They serve two purposes.
To make you think your 'friend' is very rich.
Also at their request you try to
move some money.. then the fake bank FREEZES the account.
So they will ask for money
to 'help' as they can't use the account.
Q. if he is not real
why does he
always talk God and pray?
This is a very big indication your
scammer is in or from
Nigeria.
They talk about GOD a lot and will even ask you to pray with them or for them.
They do believe God is
supporting them scamming.
They call the money they get
'Blessings'
Do not be fooled. The religion is
FAKE.. one the worst parts of what a scammer does. Pretend to praise GOD..... IT IS FAKE
Q. My friend says their bank account is frozen and
they are wanting to receive some money.
~
They say I am to send it on
by bitcoin or to another
account, or even cards.
Is this doing anything wrong?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE NICE WORDS AND HONEY, BABE ARE JUST A SURFACE PART OF A SCAM.
IDENTITY THEFT IS ANOTHER AND BIGGER IS.... MONEY LAUNDERING.
You are not the only one they are scamming. They are also scamming 100+ others. Money is not paid direct to scammers, too risky. So they have it laundered for them. Often by victims thinking they are doing their online friend a favour.
Getting cheques/checks sent too. All part of money laundering and also theft! NEVER ACCEPT ONE.
Scammers who are romance scammers also often do other forms of scamming. So again money laundering is important.
BUT in the eyes of the law.
YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR NAME= YOUR CRIME.n
Don't do it. Your scammer goes free and uses others. YOU go to court and maybe to jail.
Q. I am talking to this person,
are they scammers ??
When you are contacted by a man or woman, usually very good looking, and they want to talk, then it gets more serious, you are
NOT
talking to the person in the pictures.
The pictures are stolen and used as bait
to catch you and then take it further.
You get many pictures and loving texts...
You MUST learn it is not them...
