Dr Luis Eduardo Oliveira
This is a doctor that has had his images stolen so many times that the scammers have made the real man remove himself from all social media platforms. I can totally understand why he has done this but isn't it a shame that he no longer has a presence on Instagram and doesn't feel able to share anymore because of the scammers stealing and using images to steal from people around the world? He is a Brazilian doctor from Rio de Janeiro.
If you are messaged online by someone using this man's images then you know you are being messaged by scammers. He is not using Instagram or any other social media platform and is definitely not messaging anyone looking for love online. It is just a scammer wanting you to willingly send your money to them so they don't have to work.
On Instagram when I post fake accounts using this doctor's images I use the hashtag #luiseduardooliveirafake
Dr Mike Varshavski
Here is another famous American doctor who has appeared on TV programmes and has his own You Tube channel - Dr Mike Varshavski. He is a very popular face for scammers to steal and use to front their fake online accounts.

Just to reiterate here what he says - he has one account on each social media platform ie Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. He is not on dating apps, he is not looking for romance and he is in a relationship.

Dr Mark Smith
Today I am going to introduce you to another doctor who is used incessantly by scammers to create fake accounts online. He is called Dr Mark Smith. He is a wellness, nutritionist and a chiropractor with his own practice in America. His images are stolen relentlessly and also those of his daughter.

Dr Garth Davis
This week I have begun a new series of posts here on my blog introducing you to men that are used incessantly and literally thousands of times online by scammers to create fake accounts. My theme this week has been to show you the most used doctors online. Today I am introducing you to Dr Garth Davis.
He is an American doctor specialising in nutrition and bariatric surgery and is based in Houston, Texas. He is happily married and has children too. If you receive messages online from anyone using his images then you know you are being approached by a scammer with a fake account. Dr Davis is not messaging random women on Instagram or other platforms looking for love and romance, a mother for his child, he is also not in need of your money because he is in a situation that means he can't pay for anything. Classic scammer tactics.
When I post fake accounts on my Instagram page using Dr Davis, I use the hashtag #drgarthdavisfake
Please follow this link here for a news story featuring someone who was scammed using Dr Davis' images.

Dr Kerem Bıkmaz
Today I am going to show you the real man called Dr Kerem Bikmaz. He is yet another doctor that is used relentlessly in online scams where the scammers create fake accounts. Dr Bikmaz is a well known Turkish neurosurgeon who works in Istanbul. He is also happily married. Knowing these facts about the real man mean that you know that he is not working for the UN, in a war zone as a surgeon doctor or as a doctor anywhere else in the world. You also know that he is not online looking for romance and love whatever the person messaging you may say.
I post fake accounts that use Dr Bikmaz regularly and I add the hashtag #drkerembikmazfake
The real Dr Bikmaz is also verified on Instagram so you can report any fake accounts for impersonation.

Dr David Samadi
Today I am going to introduce you to another Dr who has his images used and abused on all online platforms to create fake accounts operated by scammers. Dr Samadi is a urologist working in New York but comes originally from Iran. He is not a dr working for the UN, he is not deployed as a surgeon doctor in a war zone anywhere in the world. You get an account using this man's images and you can be sure it is a fake account being operated by scammers looking to steal your affection, your time and your money. You can also see below that he is happily married and is not online anywhere looking for love no matter what the person messaging you online says.
If you are messaged anywhere online by someone using this man's images then you are being contacted by a scammer. Report and block immediately as you are definitely not chatting to the man in the pictures. On Instagram search for #davidsamadifake
Please also check this out https://youtu.be/qTJTKtyiYeg It is a video on You Tube where Dr Samadi speaks out about being used by online scammers.
Happy New Year
Sunday 19th January 2020
Happy New Year everyone and here is to another year of trying to teach you how to recognise scammers and prevent you from being emotionally hurt and financially poorer because of the online romance scammers.
In a post before Christmas I hinted that I was going to change the way I do things on here and on Instagram. I have been giving it a lot of thought lately because I haven't been able to spend as much time updating information on here as I am so busy with my Instagram page. Instagram is great and the support I receive on there from people who follow me is brilliant. You are all amazing sending me lots and lots of fake accounts every day which I am posting as fast as is humanly possible there. I was also trying to post them on here but that just isn't possible. So I have decided on a slight change of direction for the blog and Instagram.
On Instagram I am going keep posting the fake accounts that you send me. My Instagram username is @insta_scammers2020. I usually use the hashtag system with each post. A hashtag is a way of organising information into one place on social media and is a way to search for that information there too. So under each post there is usually one, or maybe two, hashtags eg #fakeusingstolenpictures which says fake using stolen pictures; or it will have the real man's name plus the word fake eg #drfernandopintogomesfake which says Dr Fernando Pinto Gomes fake. Please understand that the words of the hashtag have to be run together so there are no spaces and there can be no other punctuation marks either. I do understand that for non-native speakers of English that this may make it harder to read but you will soon get the hang of it. As I said a # is searchable and you can click on the hashtag under each post and it will take you to all the fake accounts that have been added on Instagram, by myself and a few other scam busters, we have found or been sent that are using the same images. Go and have a look and you will soon see the size of the problem we are facing online with these romance scammers. I dare you to search the #drfernandogomespintofake hashtag. You can do this in the search section on Instagram or find a post of mine on there of the doctor being used by a scammer.
Here on the blog, I am going to use it as a place to introduce you to the real guys that are used the most often by the online scammers. This is a way to familiarise yourself with the most used faces so that you can instantly see if an account is fake because you recognise the person in the pictures.
That being said, I will not be adding the real people's usernames on any social media platform. The reason for this is that most of the men get so many absolutely awful messages from women who have been scammed by those using their images. These men are violated every single time a fake account is created using their images. They are then also let down by the women who have been duped and quite often messages sent can be downright nasty, rude and frankly threatening to both them and their families. I cannot tolerate this at all and I will not give you the information you need. I cannot prevent you from finding their usernames yourself but I would urge you to think extremely carefully about the reasons why you wish to contact the real person. If it is simply to tell them they are being used then you don't need to tell them. Every one of them is aware they are being used and is as annoyed and hurt as you are about it and as powerless to stop it from happening. If you want to contact them because you want retribution, or you are feeling taken advantage of then again, please don't. They are so bombarded on a daily basis that they probably will not respond and some of them are so beyond caring now that they may well respond to you in an extremely annoyed and rude way. I cannot say that I blame them. They just want to be left alone to live their lives and post on social media in the same way that we do, without having their pictures stolen and used in nefarious ways. You feel pissed off and annoyed about being approached by fake accounts online? Well then imagine having thousands of Nigerians and other nationalities use your images that are years old to make online accounts to then steal from others. Yeah, perhaps you can now think a bit from the real people's points of view and just leave them alone, smarten up and not send stuff to anyone online. Educating ourselves about this kind of thing is the only way to stop it. If we stop them from getting this money of OURS then we can stop them approaching us. It's not about stopping scams - humans will always try the easy route to trick others - sadly it is human nature and been going on for as long as we have existed on this planet. We have to keep ourselves safe online and stop making ourselves targets that they can attack and we do this by simply not falling for all their terrible lies. We learn to use reverse image search, we look out for the red flags, we learn what they are and keep up to date with new techniques and strategies. And on this blog I will help you to identify the red flags, the new techniques and strategies. They are not unique, they are the techniques that all romance scammers use to suck you in and get you to believe them.
I also intend to show you other tricks and tips on how to spot a fake and how to stop yourself from being a victim and a target for online scammers.
My first piece of advice is this and it is simple - never send ANYTHING, be it money, gift cards, technology, whatever, to anyone who has befriended you online. My other piece of advice is - never accept ANYTHING from someone who has befriended you online. By this I mean never say you will accept a parcel, never give out your bank details so they can send you money and never say you will accept a transaction at MoneyGram, Western Union or any other money changing service. If you keep to these two simple rules then you will NOT be a victim of a romance scammer.

You come across anyone using these images online, on any platform whatsoever, I can guarantee you that the account is fake and manned by scammers. Here are just a few of the images of him that you can familiarise yourself with.

It will take you to a video on You Tube posted by the real Dr himself about the problems he faces with the scammers and the people who believe the scammers and send money, cards, tech etc.
So to sum up here, if you are messaged directly on ANY online platform by someone who has this man's images then you are being approached by a scammer. Dr Fernando Gomes Pinto is a successful neurosurgeon in Brazil. He is a happily married man with children. He is not in the military, serving for the UN, a special agent or anything else. He is not divorced, his wife has not died, he is still happy in his marriage. You are being told lies to suck you in.
Please just report and block ANY and EVERY scammer you see online using this doctor's images - it is truly that simple.
