Oh My girls,
I have been up for some ride with this one....
We have met through Tinder. His Tinder name-Mason.
He said he is deployed in Afghanistan in Kabul and that he is coming to Australia by end of this month.
He is the only child, his parents were divorced and both passed away in car accident.He is the only child and have no siblings.
Born in Baton Rouge Louisiana.
He is 36 years old ( so he claims)- born in March 23/03/82 ,however his driver licence said 25/03/82.
He is full on with getting married,saying that he loves you etc.
He said he is sending parcel to Australia but I would have to pay for the insurance of the parcel from China to Melbourne.
I have started digging and this is what has led me to this website.
No Facebook profile..only Instagram account with minimum photos.
We have been chatting for over a month what waste of time!
Mobile nr: +1(631)3073541

You should not confront the scammers. It make them very mad at you and they may infest your computer with viruses and eventually blow it. Also you only teach them how to be better a next time with the next victim.
They will make sure they improve their grammar and come up with new email addresses and innocent people will fall for it. Our goal is to keep scammers stupid so victims can figure out their are imbeciles. Next time BLOCK them and IGNORE, do not bring them to our site!

Hi girls, I can also contribute something to this guy. We only chatted for a week, but that seemed strange to me. We met on Tinder, he told me that he is in Kabul, has been with the army for 12 years. In three weeks he will go back to America. Then he wants to leave the army and come to Germany to become involved in the oil business. He has learned that in Afghanistan, he allegedly sneaks from the base always to an oil company that is nearby. But the military should not know that. Oh yes, he is the only child of his deceased parents, grew up with a good friend of his father. He will be 39 on the 25th of April. Born in Baton Rouge, Louisana. I was a bit skeptical from the beginning because I was too fast with "Honey" or "Baby". By chance, I found his pictures on the Instagram account of "Keith Mason Edwards" and responded, saying he did not know this guy and that he was a thief. When I asked him to send me a video saying my name and today's date, he said that for security's sake, that's not possible. He also can not send me a photo with a note bearing my name and today's date. He told me about Kelvin O. Mason. At Tinder, his name was Mason and there he said he was 36 years old. I wrote to him that he should never contact me again. His Number: +1(631)538-3029


What I'm only interested in: is he really the guy in the photos and he's kidding the girls, or is he someone else in the photos who does not know what's going on with his photos? Have a nice day.

Kelvin mason on tinder... 36 yrs old.
He is apparently 12000kms aways from
Australia but he said he was assigned in mission in afghanistan. But afghanistan is only 9000kms...:-) but since he is a real hottie you might ignore it..

Maybe next time asked them to do facetime., cause kelving wouldnt want any video calls. Hahaha

Phone +1(518)5025842...

He is a hottie but he probably needs to keeps his photo on private others the nigerians are gonna used it

Hello,

My Mason's name is Raymond. Same pics as above. I met him through tinder. His email is raymondmason@usa.com. He couldn't give me his Army email address because he's deployed in Kabul so it's classified. His phone number is 720-820-3719. He immediately wanted to communicate via WhatsApp. He said all the right things and I did send money. His "provisionary officer's" names are Brenda Joyce Peters, in AZ, and Maria Elena Arrelano, in FL. I also sent a care package and my laptop. Not that I'll ever get it back, but when he first connected to the internet, it connected through Ekiti Nigeria (a city/state mentioned above). I blocked him on WhatsApp and a cohort, Richard Anderson, messaged me to message him. I know that should have been it, but with my macbook he was able to take a video of SSGT Mason (the real guy) to make it look like I was Skyping with him. The voice gave him away. Please know these guys are VERY good at what they do, so you can't trust Skype anymore. I've given all this info to the FBI. I hope my story helps. And, he's still asking for money.

For those asking, I had a friend of mine who was in the Army check numerous websites for anyone with a last name of Mason currently serving, and he didn't have any luck. This, obviously, doesn't mean there aren't any, just be very diligent and don't send money, or personal pics.
