For those of you who haven't really delved into the world of facebook and scammers, it is an amazingly tangled web. Scammers often create multiple fake profiles, and use one fake profile to support another and make it seem more real. They will also target potential victims with more than one of their profiles, and/or other scammers will go after their targets--so one scam profile often leads to another.

Thanks to a post at SW today, I identified a probable romance victim who is "in a relationship" with her scammer on facebook. So I went to facebook to do some more research on this particular scammer and to warn the woman.

Just finding fakes on friends lists, and following the paths where they lead me, in less than half an hour, I came across all these scammer profiles! Note that this only includes the certain fakes, not the potentials I also found.

And another almost certain scammer, though more research is needed...

The profiles in the original post all contain mistakes/African English/photos that serve as evidence they are scammers.

The profile you posted does not contain enough information or obvious mistakes to establish it as fake, so you need to post the information that lead you to believe that it is one.

This is why I believe its it been stolen. now we have just started taking maybe a week now, says she lives in Colorado but didnt seem to know about July 4th, and this part of our talk

Quote:

Hello
me: hi welcome back
lad: Lolz
Lad: Am about watching the football europe trophy Final
lad: Spain - italy

So now most people born and raised in states call this soccer let alone really watch it i could be wrong on this

Her chat style is typical Lad sounding with lots off buzzes (and been getting slapped for it)

i did ask for pics and was told hold on let me download them and ill send and they were the pics from the facebook now what girl would say ill download them they would be on her system

this is just a feeling i have and wanting to know if anyone else has had the pleasure of meeting this one
