Update on this scammer.

'Michael Walkowski'

added me on instagram - names spelt wrong as Mihceal and had no images. Asked me to download hangouts to talk to him.

Said he was in love with me after 3 days. I kept asking for phone calls which he refused. He then called, had a Nigerian accent and said it was as he adopted the accent when he was deployed there in the military. I an in England UK, he told me he lived in Tennessee, USA.

He sent me these images.

He said he was in the military, had no fiends and lived with his dog jack. He had a daughter with an ex who cheated on him who now lives with her nanny due to his job.

P.S also sent a lot of porn images - without any consent from me!

Re: Barry Michael - barrymichael551 (Instagram)

Postby ctmcpherson » Tue Jan 12, 2021 7:17 pm

Hello all,

He goes by the name Barry Michael on Instagram. He started to follow me on there and when I asked who he was or how we knew each other out of pure curiosity, he instantly began professing his love etc. Said his birthday is Jan 2 and he is claiming to be 35 years old with a 5 year old daughter named Jessica. Said he didn't want to talk about that part of his life when I asked what happened to his ex, and he said he doesn't allow her to see the kid. () All lies of course)

I'm scrolling here and seeing so many pics that he sent me via hangout after he requested to move the conversation from Instagram. All the pics he claims to have been taking recently at the time....NOPE!
I had a feeling this guy was a fraud but as mentioned by another, so cute right? How can we NOT talk to him haha

Anyways, almost fell for this myself. He claims to be in the military and said he will come to me on his vacation when deployed in a few months, can't wait to see me etc but would NEVER video chat me as I wanted to prove it was him as much as he swore it was. He called me one night and the background didn't sound like he was in the army base. He also did not have a Colombian accent (as he claimed to be)...sounded more like a man of color and when I stated that he didn't sound Colombian, he tried to have me believe that his accent has been affected/altered due to the many countries he's been sent to for the military. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Another laugh was him telling me he's colombian and then saying his full name is Barry Michael Walkowski - ummmmmm that's not Colombian FOR SURE. He would use the word "babe" every 3 or 4 words and would send all kinds of romantic messages, tried to propose and say he will send a ring to make me believe he is for real. Said he has an errand man that can help him. I decided I'd play along one day to just see where he would go with this sham....he suddenly had an issue with his phone and said he's so sad that he may not be able to talk to me again... and there it was. Asked me for help...to go to the store and buy some kind of card for his phone. Obviously, I didn't fall for this... so I said " Ok, you send me the money, and I'll go for you." He laughed and said he doesn't have access to the bank as he is in the base. I said not to worry, I accept e-transfers. LOL I mean, the guy states he can't be caught by his commander in the base with his phone or he will be hurt and put into a cell, yet he was very capable to constantly keep in touch and text by the minute, daily. He did not ever do anything to prove himself, like send a video clip of him saying my name or holding up a picture of him doing anything that was asked because CLEARLY this wasn't possible.

Did some digging and found that the base he claimed to be in, in Alabama, has actually been closed since the 1990's. Googled Barry M. Walkowski in Colombia and all these poor guys photos popped up under so many different names.

I can go on and on about this scam. Point is....don't trust or engage with this guy, whoever he is, no matter how much he tried to convince you that he can be trusted or won't hurt you. Just a smooth talker here ladies! Cute, but no fool here :)

Good morning girls! Our love scammer continues to act. I'm from Brazil, state of Rio Grande do Sul, and on January 27th, the liar got in touch via instagram. I asked how he found me, said he liked to make friends, introduced himself as Brain Josh80.
He said he was from Naples - Italy, who did not speak Portuguese and used a translator. He said he was 49 years old and was a senior supervisor of US military control. I was on a mission in Yemen.
He started asking about my job. He said he was divorced, that his wife cheated on him with a good friend. I kept chatting..to see where it was going..kkk
Very respectful and polite, he started saying that he would like to get married. What do you mean, in just one day of conversation ??
That distance was not a problem and that he would come to Brazil
Asked me for my whatsapp number
Always polite, he sent messages asking about my day. He said it was very sad where he was.
Always polite, he sent messages asking about my day. He said it was very sad where he was.
He said he would come to Brazil, to spend time together and plan our wedding..kkk
I asked you to tell me your story. He told me that his father was a great businessman, his mother a teacher, that he had two brothers and a sister, and that under the influence of an uncle he became a military man.
We talked all night, always very attentive. Send me photos on instagram. Always kind. That no one has ever given you as much attention as I have.
Wednesday, February 3, closed the account on instagram and called me on whatsapp. He said he had blocked the account, because ladies were sending him nudes.
I asked again his age, he told me 44 years old. I talked about Italy, said I made a mess ... LIE
he said that he had asked to be released to come to Brazil. I asked about his parents: he had never met his father, and his mother had died six years ago. He had no brothers ... I asked about the brothers, he said that I got confused ... he got lost in his own lie.
I was already suspicious of the photos, which were not real. I put it in the search and this denouncement site appeared ... confirming my suspicions
I told him that I was a liar and that I had discovered everything. He said he was being wrongly accused.
it's cute, cute, but LIAR.
attention girls! Your +1 (678) 713-4531. The code is from Vonuatu, an island in the Pacific Ocean.
He didn't ask me for money, but he wanted to get married. You must be crazy.
The photos you sent me, are all the ones that are exposed here

He says he is in the military in Killeen, Tx and is 35. He still uses the photos everyone has posted. I knew something was fishy when his grammar sucked and he wanted me to get the WhatsApp.

Adam Robertson aka Michael Scott, ms8620264@gmail.com

Postby Julia2021 » Tue Feb 23, 2021 11:41 pm

Adam Robertson, 41 years old, 14 year old son Jeffrey, Phonenumber; +1(781)412-4281 E-Mail: Jeffrey246800@gmail.com

I really nerver thought I will fall for something like that. I met him on Tinder Germany 3 weeks ago. He has 2 pictures uploaded there:

Image

Image

After two days he ask me for my mobile number so we can chat via WhatsApp. His number is/was +1(781)412-4281.

He told me his Name is Adam Robertson, he is 41 years old and his wife died 3 years ago and he have a son named Jeffrey, 14 years old. His son go to private school in Texas.

He was single since his wife died and he is now in Afhanistan for the next two months. He will quit his job at the army and want me to move to him or he come to Germany with his son. Want to build a business in real estate.

I really fall in love wiht him. How can you not fall in love with this handsome man. He always writes me such sweet words all day long in a period of time of almost 3 weeks. And he ask me if I can write his son Jeffrey because he already told him about me and he is so happy for him. The e-mailadress is: Jeffrey246800@gmail.com

His son text me back with also really nice words and ask me and the end if he can call me mom. So sweet. But also fake. He send me 3 picture of him with his E-Mail but because these are pictures of a child I don't like to show it here..

But here are 3 pictures of his "Dad" send me via Whatsapp:

Image

Image

Image

We talk about his vacation in the next time in Germany and that we can't wait to see each other. OMG. We were writing so much and yesterday I found out he is fake.

He told me about his problem with his bank and that his son need money to get back to school. I ask how much does he need because I have not so much money at the moment. Than he told me it's 1.000 USD. And he will pay me the money back when he ist back in the U.S. After not answering quik enough he went mad with "hello?" He never did things like that before. So I knew there was something totally wrong.. I uploaded a picture at google and search for him, because a search for his Name Adam Robertson was with no solution.

I was so angry, sad. All things were a lie. He was playing with my feelings and with my heart just for money. I really hope that Karma does her job and show how much pain he brought to woman.

I told him I'm sorry I can't help and he just writing me that I'm selfish and don't love him... Today in the morning I write him that it's better to broke up because he deserve "better". Of course it was a lie of me. I will not write with him anymore and didn't told him that I discovered that he was a fake. The best happens also yesterday in the evening after I knew what's going on because I want to test him a little bit, I was sending him a nude-picture (with no face) after our fight and he ask me, why I send him pictures of someone else...? I was just like "WTF??" I really have to calm down.

So here I am, another fool of love.

Take care and stay strong.

Hi Julia, we are very sorry for the scam. Please know that scammers always pray on victim's emotions otherwise they wouldn't be able to "programm" us to the point that we will send them money.
Please BLOCK and IGNORE scammers. They will come back for sure. Please keep occupied so your thoughts will be away from the illusion scammer build around you. We promise you it'll get better. There will be sunshine back on the sky for you. Feel better and be safe!

He’s just appeared in the UK. I’m in xxx, UK and he’s claiming to be Donald age 35 from Leicestershire UK. Luckily I thought he’s too good to be true after two messages and did a reverse image search and this site appeared.

Hi all,

My experience has been exactly the same as Julia’s. In my case I started talking to him via Tinder on March 14th, and his name was Arthur Grey. Exactly the same story, he is a widower, he has his 14 year old son Jeffrey to whom he has already talked about me, the kid is on a school and needs money (in my case 3.580$), his account is blocked and can't do anything until his back on the US and so on.
I was suspicious from the beginning and looked for the photos to confirm it, at the same time he begin asking for the money, there will be no response to your good morning message this morning.
The phone also matches: 1 (781) 412-4281

Take care and stay strong :)

Well, it looks like he's at it again. This time he's going by "Shawn Tony" or "Tony Shawn."
I met him on Tinder and supposedly, he has been deployed to San Diego from Kansas. I was like, this guy can't be real - and he wasn't. I thought it was crazy that he said he wanted to get married and kept getting "jealous" of my roommate. This guy is absolutely disgusting. Asked me to send him $300 because he was hungry. I laughed! How can you be in the military and go hungry?!? This guy is so stupid. Here are all the pictures he sent and the contact information he used:

Canadain here. So I met this charm on Tinder. And like all you before me asked me to talk with him on Whats apps. Claims to be Arthur Grey, birthday September 16th. Age 41. Widowed ( knew her for 30 yrs and married for 10 before she passed ) with a 14 yr old son named Eric. Mom is in a care home with dementia and father passed away when he was 10. He's currently serving somewhere he can't talk about... he's been deployed for 6 months now and has another 3 to go. Been in the military for 16 yrs.
Joined to help out his mother . Wants to retire from the Army and go into real-estate - says he enjoys Renovations and wants to flip homes. Apparently he drives a Toyota Tacoma and he says he 6'6 - boy you would be eating your knees! LMAO
I've only been talking with him for about a week and I've already had the "I love you and want to be with you" crap. As soon as we started chatting I knew he wasn't real. I'm very happy I found this page.
To the man who's in these pictures; I feel sorry your image is being drug through the mud because your adorable!

Raymond Walkowski - raymondwalkowski30@gmail.com

Postby startrektos » Sun May 30, 2021 3:15 am

This man contacted me, claiming that his name is Raymond Walkowski. His Hangouts email is raymondwalkowski30@gmail.com
He found me on Instagram and sent a request to follow me. I decided to allow him to follow me and he only had a few pictures on his profile. He asked to move our conversation from Instagram to Google Hangouts, and I agreed to do so. He deleted his Instagram account immediately.
I was immediately suspicious of him because the man in the pictures is absolutely gorgeous and I do not see myself as being beautiful. I decided to keep speaking with while asking him a lot of questions because I was curious as to what he would say to me. I was very suspicious of how his English was very poor. He told me it was because he had not grown up in the US, even through his mother was an American.
He started asking for me to purchase Google Play Cards to update his phone. Then, he asked for Steam Cards. I told him repeatedly that I did not have money to purchase any cards for him because I was not comfortable doing so (I never told him I was uncomfortable). And also because I am not wealthy (I did tell him this). He would accept my answers and then ask again a few days later. I had to constantly tell him no.
He asked me if I would be his girlfriend very early into our conversation. I pretended I was not suspicious of him, decided to play along, and said yes. He started professing his undying love for me very soon afterwards.
I looked into scams online and came across "search by image". I decided to look up "search by image" with the name "Raymond Walkowski". I found the pictures right away, and I was truly SHOCKED at how many fake profiles existed. I feel so sorry for the real man in the images. He is so beautiful, and I imagine he is a very sweet man. It is so so sad that his Images are constantly being used like this. I have included all if the pictures he sent to me. I hope no woman has given him any money!

He is now going by Ryan. 1(318) 485-0030

*UPDATE*: he has sent me the photos and videos I sent him twice now since I blocked him and told me that blocking him was a mistake. I have blocked the 2 other account immediately with no contact.

He is claiming to be a real estate agent looking for a sugar baby. We met on tinder (I have attached photos of his profile) and then moved over to WhatsApp. (I have put the number he used at the top of this post)

I unfortunately fell for his scam and send intimate images of myself and then he sent me money and threaten to release said images if I did not forward the money to multiple emails via etransfer.
The emails I sent the etransfers to are:
laosttha@live.com
oladirank007@yahoo.com

I have screenshotted our entire conversation, filed a police report, and contacted my bank about getting most if not all of my money back. I then immediately messaged him and told him what he is doing is a crime and that I have contacted the police and my banks nd immediately blocked him.
