I HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TOO

Friday 8 March 2019

This post is one I should have made a long time ago.  I should tell you that I also have a presence on Instagram with a dedicated account to scams and the fake accounts and the real people having their images stolen.  Please please please go and check it out.

@insta_scammers2018_2019

Go and check it out on Instagram, get following and get commenting and letting me know more fake accounts, and perhaps you can name some of the unknown real guys too.

APOLOGIES TO ALL COMMENTERS

Friday 8 March 2019

I really have to do a quick post to apologise to all those people who have left me comments on my blog.  I have only discovered them today when I was having a peruse around the settings etc on this blog.  I have tried to answer them but I am not sure that they have been done properly so my apologies to each and every one of you.

Thanks to anyone who has sent me any information on any other accounts that are using the same images as one of the real guys introduced on here.  I will find the account and detail it if I can  - although in some instances it may be too late.

There were a couple of people who also asked me whether I could send contact information for a couple of the real guys. I am sorry but my answer will always be no.  Even if I knew how to contact the real person by email or via DM on Instagram I would not tell you how to do so.  The real men are plagued by those who have been scammed.  Some of the these people end up being extremely rude, extremely angry and vengeful.  This is not the real guy's fault.  Be angry with those that scammed you and be cross with yourself for falling for it.  Learn from the experience and move on.  The real guys know they are being used and there is nothing on earth they can do to change it.  Instagram have made it harder for us to report those impersonating other people and can be extremely slow at removing those accounts that we can report for impersonation.  Anything else gets reported as spam and takes a while to be removed also.  But stick to it and they will be removed.  Please leave the real guys alone to live their lives in peace.  They do not deserve to be hounded for any reason at all by people who have been duped by scammers using their images.  Put yourself in their shoes and try to imagine how awful it feels to know that people are stealing from others using your image.  It has happened to me and I can tell you that it feels dreadful.  It also explains the annoyance felt by some who've been used by scammers for years and their distinct lack of sympathy for those who have been scammed.  Again, I have some sympathy for they way they feel.  These are all good reasons for not contacting the real men and just leaving them alone.

One other thing to mention here too.  I would love it if more people leave comments here on the blog but please be mindful of what you write and the tone with which it is written.  If you write something which is threatening (I had one comment left about shooting scammers) then I will remove the comment and not allow it to be posted.  I will not tolerate bickering amongst commenters too - we are all adults and can be mindful of speaking pleasantly and kindly to each other.  We are good people and better than those that try to scam us out of our money and play with our emotions.  Let's demonstrate that with how we interact on here with each other.

Here is an example of a fake account using the images of BRYAN DENNY  that I introduced you to in my previous post.  If you wish to read more about the real man then please follow this link here

Some of the screenshots of the conversation are a bit random but they give you a taste of the type of stupid conversation a scammer will have with you while trying to groom you. There's a tragic story to make you feel sorry for him, there's the military angle so that he can wheedle money out of you and can claim he can't video chat or communicate very well with you (even though he is doing just fine on Instagram), he has a child away in a boarding school ( again could be another ploy for you to part with your cash, send a birthday present, feel sorry for the scammer because he is parted from his son) - all of which are just a load of rubbish.

Anyone who messages you on any platform online claiming to be in any country's military is a scammer with a fake account.  Not one of them is approaching women for romance and love online and they certainly do not want or need you to send any money or any gift cards for any website or service.  All military men have full access to their bank accounts and their money whilst they are deployed - even when this is overseas.  

They also have access to the internet and are positively encouraged to use their laptops and mobile phones to keep in touch with friends and family at home -  they are doing this with modern laptops and smartphones not devices that they claim can't be used to video chat. 

No military man needs you to pay for food - the services cater very well for their serving officers.  No military man needs you to pay for medicines - again the services make sure their serving officers are fit and healthy and have access to the best medicines and treatments.  Let's face it they need their personnel to be fit and healthy and available for their work.  

No military personnel ever need you to pay for their leave, no matter what your loving scammer tells you.  Think of it like this - do you need a loved one to pay your place of work for you to have a holiday or to have leave?  No - you earn holidays depending on time served, your position in the place of employment.  If you want a leave of absence for compassionate reasons you may be entitled to for so long and then your salary would be reduced.  There is no reason why any loved one would pay your employer for your leave from work.  Apply this to military personnel and you will see their requests for payment for leave is just ridiculous.  Being a soldier, a marine, an airman,  in the navy, whatever their military role, is a job, it's their career and is no different to anyone else's.  They earn and accrue leave just like non-military personnel do.  Please do not believe the utter lies and rubbish about having to pay for leave.  IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE and a sure fire way of seeing that the person you are chatting with is a scammer out to rob you of your money. 

Bryan Denny SCAMMED

Friday 8 March 2019

I am about to introduce you to a retired soldier called Bryan Denny.   This is a man who has had his images stolen many times to front fake online accounts that are actually operated by scammers.  He has been very vocal about his experiences and what it is like to be used this way.  Please follow these two links to take you to very interesting and recent articles about the real man behind the images and his stand against the scammers.

Fake accounts using the images of ROBERT GENE SMITH

Friday 8 March 2019

In my previous post I introduced you to a man called ROBERT GENE SMITH  who has had his images stolen by scammers and used to generate fake scamming accounts online.  These are a few of the accounts come across on Instagram that have been using these images.  To find out more about the real man please click the link here

Please do not send this person, or anyone you message online, any money, tech, gift cards, or say you will accept a parcel or money from them.  The money, tech and gift cards goes to fund their scamming lifestyle.  If you accept a parcel you will be expected to pay money to receive the parcel which will never arrive with you.  If you accept money from them by bank transfer, western union, moneygram or any other way then be aware that you are handling money they have made from scamming other people and you are guilty of money laundering which is a crime punishable with a prison sentence.  Is your scammer worth getting a criminal record for???  I don't think so so please don't do it.  The scammer doesn't love you they love your money and your naivety and your willingness to help them.  They laugh, call you a client, call what they do hustling.  These are not the actions of a person who loves you.

Robert Gene Smith SCAMMED

Friday 8 March 2019

Today I would like to introduce you to a man called Robert Gene Smith.  This man has had his images stolen to create many accounts online on Instagram and all other platforms with which to con women and men out of money.  He is a behavioural psychologist who has developed a method of CBT called EFT tapping.

If you are messaging a man who is using this man's images then you are definitely talking to a scammer with a fake account. Please do not send this person, or anyone you message online, any money, tech, gift cards, or say you will accept a parcel or money from them.  The money, tech and gift cards goes to fund their scamming lifestyle.  If you accept a parcel you will be expected to pay money to receive the parcel which will never arrive with you.  If you accept money from them by bank transfer, western union, moneygram or any other way then be aware that you are handling money they have made from scamming other people and you are guilty of money laundering which is a crime punishable with a prison sentence.  Is your scammer worth getting a criminal record for???  I don't think so so please don't do it.  The scammer doesn't love you they love your money and your naivety and your willingness to help them.  They laugh, call you a client, call what they do hustling.  These are not the actions of a person who loves you.

Here is another fake account where the scammer is using the images of BILLY MERRITT. To find out more about the real guy please click the link here to take you to more information in a previous post.

This conversation here is a lesson in doing your due diligence.  Anyone messaging you who tells you the name of the company where they work, go and Google it.  Look at their website.  Likely as not it may not exist.  If it does check out the details of the people who work there and see if your scammer really does.  Likely as not he does not.  Just watch out because some scammers set up fake websites - but it pays to do your research and look at the information you find out.  Use your common sense with what you find out, baring in mind this - what would you tell your best friend if she told you about this person and this work? No doubt you would warn your friend so do it to yourself and take care.

Please do not send this person, or anyone you message online, any money, tech, gift cards, or say you will accept a parcel or money from them.  The money, tech and gift cards goes to fund their scamming lifestyle.  If you accept a parcel you will be expected to pay money to receive the parcel which will never arrive with you.  If you accept money from them by bank transfer, western union, moneygram or any other way then be aware that you are handling money they have made from scamming other people and you are guilty of money laundering which is a crime punishable with a prison sentence.  Is your scammer worth getting a criminal record for???  I don't think so so please don't do it.  The scammer doesn't love you they love your money and your naivety and your willingness to help them.  They laugh, call you a client, call what they do hustling.  These are not the actions of a person who loves you.

And here is another account using the images of  BILLY MERRITT.  If you would like more information about the real man please click this link here to take you to a previous page.

This scammer is using the images of Billy Merrittt but the name of another man who is used a lot to create fake accounts with - Chris Whaley

This account may well not be active anymore on Instagram but it serves as a good tool to help you identify any scammer.  Look at the language used, the lack of knowledge about what he is talking about (Assen is where he said but it is inland and not at the coast), he has sent a stock image of an oil rig and notice how the scammer reacted to the questions - they don't like them because they can't answer them, they don't know the answers.

Please do not send this person, or anyone you message online, any money, tech, gift cards, or say you will accept a parcel or money from them.  The money, tech and gift cards goes to fund their scamming lifestyle.  If you accept a parcel you will be expected to pay money to receive the parcel which will never arrive with you.  If you accept money from them by bank transfer, western union, moneygram or any other way then be aware that you are handling money they have made from scamming other people and you are guilty of money laundering which is a crime punishable with a prison sentence.  Is your scammer worth getting a criminal record for???  I don't think so so please don't do it.  The scammer doesn't love you they love your money and your naivety and your willingness to help them.  They laugh, call you a client, call what they do hustling.  These are not the actions of a person who loves you.

This is a fake account, operated by scammers using the images of ANTONIO APICELLA.  Please click the link here to find out more about the real man.

This account may well have been removed now but read the conversation also included.  Use it to learn how a scammer writes, what they ask, the fact he loved me within moments of writing, the use of baby to save using my name (easier when talking to other women too - that he 'loves' too) and mostly, the Yoruban words he wrote by mistake.  Yoruban is a language spoken by some Nigerians, particularly those in the West of the country.  These words are a dead giveaway that the person you are speaking to is Nigerian.

Please do not send this person, or anyone you message online, any money, tech, gift cards, or say you will accept a parcel or money from them.  The money, tech and gift cards goes to fund their scamming lifestyle.  If you accept a parcel you will be expected to pay money to receive the parcel which will never arrive with you.  If you accept money from them by bank transfer, western union, moneygram or any other way then be aware that you are handling money they have made from scamming other people and you are guilty of money laundering which is a crime punishable with a prison sentence.  Is your scammer worth getting a criminal record for???  I don't think so so please don't do it.  The scammer doesn't love you they love your money and your naivety and your willingness to help them.  They laugh, call you a client, call what they do hustling.  These are not the actions of a person who loves you.

Billy Merritt SCAMMED

This post is going to be all about a man from America called   BILLY MERRITT  - he has his own business as a car salesman.  The scammers love to steal his photos and use them to create fake accounts on all online platforms.

If you are being messaged right now by someone online who is using these photos then you can be sure that you are being approached by scammers who are operating fake accounts.  The real man is happily married, a car salesman and not in the military, nor on an oil rig, not a marine engineer, not a doctor or whatever you have been told.  You are being messaged by scammers.
