Drek Spanky - drekspanky@gmail.com

Postby Kittykatgirlmom » Sun Feb 28, 2016 12:46 am

On OKCupid as Rickberry_matic

Email: drekspanky@gmail.com

Told me he was Currently in Syria on a "Peace-Keep Mission" LoL

Told me he was Originally from Columbia, SC (which the Derrick Riggs really is!) but listed his hometown as Flemings Island, FL

This scammer actually had the nerve to tell me today that his name was Derrick Riggs Sanchez. He used the real man's REAL NAME!!!! Even though his picture look like an All-American man, he tried to tell me he was Half-Latino! Boy, was this scammer stupid! All I had to do was Google search Derrick Riggs (I didn't even get a chance to enter "Sanchez" before Google gave me results. Anyway, I started seeing all these pictures of "Derrick Riggs".

The scammer knows all about this man who is the REAL man I feel so sorry for the real man, so many scammers have been lifting not only his pictures, but his personal information!

The scammer started things off by telling me that he was an Army Chaplain, He told me he was a widower and had a 13- year-old son. This scammer has also had the stupidity to use the Viber app to voice call me several times. I'm changing my phone number after I write this!


My scammer spoke with a weird, not-quite-Hispanic accent

I am so glad though that he told me that name and that I did research before going any further!

But this scammer did what you guys are saying that other scammers are doing, which is if you call them out on being fakes, they make you feel like you're in the wrong, and then they talk this love crap. Sheesh....
The pics that were on his profile that I saw were the one in the red Carolina Gamecocks shirt, and the one closeup pic with the black dress uniform on, and the one with his parents, pretty common among these different scammers listed.

Oh, and did I mention that as soon as I "busted" the scammer and he started talking all the lovey-dovey stuff, he immediately took down this profile from OKC! Probably the only smart thing he did!

Omg. I can't believe I'm seeing all the pictures I have received from the supposed real derrick riggs on Yahoo messenger.I have every one of those pictures above in postings plus two or three more not seen here. Unbelievable. He wanted money and for me to pay for shipping a box for him with gold in it. Right!!!!! Supposedly went from Afghanistan to Nigeria temporary duty. About to be discharged. And retire with me in the states. What a farce. All he did was waste my time but didn't get any money. Then I wasted a bunch of his time saying I was sending money but didn't. Fair is fair. Oh well. He has at least six profiles current and a new one popping up every other day. He needs to be shut down by someone please

I have researched the real derrick riggs extensiley thru military channels and others. The real derrick riggs is well aware of all these scammers and tries to have the profiles shut down as soon as he is aware of them. Alot of damage has been done to him and some women too. I think it's basically the same scammer working this profile to death. I have obtained several photos of derrick riggs that I have never ever seen posted anywhere. I asked for them as a way to confirm exactly who i was communicating with and believe i located on scammer source working so close to the real derrick riggs in the military i hope i am proved wrong that another military man is perputuating this fraud on a fellow military man but it looks real sweaty right now needless to say the have opened an investagation by the military into this sensitive profile being flaunted about making it look very bad for riggs shame on them

First of all glad you found us and you didn't loose any money. Second, do NOT even try to contact the pictures owner. It's only and only up to law enforcement and unfortunately some victims being convicted of offence as there are special cyber laws created for victims of cyber crime to obey.

There is no war in Nigeria so no US Army would stationed there.

Please know that successful in scam photos are abused by many gangs in the same time and base on our reports we can say that there are possibility that no more then one gang will use them but in this tread it's not a case.

Please kindly post the pictures which are not here as an evidence. Please also add scammer's email address, phone number, SKYPE ID, link to fake profile. You are also very welcome to post the request to receive the box with all the names and addresses.

Thank you and be safe.
