This person is still posting on Friend Finder as of today, April 7, 2013. Not only under one profile and name, but THREE different profiles and names. I was contacted by him under the profile "coolmaxwell4love" and he used the name Garrett Maxwell. FriendFinder has deleted this one profile.
Another profile is "Simpleman2015" and "Butterfly146" I will post "Butterfly146" below.

Okay ! where do i start from now ?. I am a down to earth, easy going gentleman who has a good sense of humor and a positive outlook on life.I like to explore new areas hence i like traveling but it would be more fun and great if it was to be with a perfect match.I openly talk to anyone I meet daily and I like meeting new people and finding out about them and their interests. I like learning new things and I try to keep up to date on current events. I love to travel and to see new places. I am hard working and dedicated to those who are around me, very loyal and caring. I am new to this aspect of life and I am going to take it slow for now. But open to many possibilities .I am vary close to my family hence when it comes to family matters i am very interested. tell me who you are and what you like and let's see if we have some common interests to explore together

My Ideal Person: Someone who is by their nature, emotionally healthy and happy. A person who is energetic and considerate of others. Someone who is comfortable enough with who they are to be able to be okay with open displays of affection and who will be able to share and communicate their thoughts and needs openly. A person who enjoys being physically active and outdoors, and most importantly enjoys laughing and has a good sense of humor. Someone who will allow me to be there for her and lean on my shoulder when you need too. Someone to share admiration our strengths,but recognizes and supports our weaknesses.Someone with a good sense of humor so we can laugh together, not at each other.I am very friendly, outgoing and comfortable with all people . I like people who are relaxed and open with their feelings. I like the simple things in life, long walks, a movie a night out on the town even.thanks for reading and please im only looking for someone who is serious and searching

I am a calm person, but I prefer to be open. I have a lot of place in my heart for my future wife and family. A non-smoker/drinker, not into drugs (don't need them; I live natural high life). I am a very energetic man. I generally try to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle, exercising and some sort of jogging, 3-4 days a week and eating healthy. I am easy-going, and I'm not too critical about things, but I also believe that it takes two people contributing to a relationship to make it work.I believe in getting to know my partner and communication seems to be the best way to do this. I have a good sense of humor and I like to make you laugh.

thank you for writing me back,am new on this site and my pic and my profile is pending,i will be very glad if we can exchange emails for me to send you more of my pics and tell you more about me if you dont mind,my emails is layreginald@yahoo.com i will be very glad to read from you soon

I was approached last Saturday with a friend request on Face Book for a man named Jerry Davids Scott Willy, he looked nice so I went ahead and added him as a friend. Almost immediately I got a chat request from him. He was very sweet, telling me he is from London, but is on a ship, and works for an oil company. He has a 14 year old son and his son goes to school in Ghana. He did his homework well the company he is suppose to work for has offshore drilling they are real having offices in Ghana, there is a Zenith School in Ghana where Jerry said his son Alex goes to. He has some different pictures on his Facebook page that I haven't seen on here. Anyway he was so charming I was taken in immediately. He begged me to write his son Alex at email dysonalex295@yahoo.com. I wrote him and he wrote me back saying I would now be like a mum to him. Which tugged at my heart since I just lost my 13 yr. old step-daughter due to a divorce. Jerry told me Alex needed money for a project and asked me to find out how much, Alex said he needed a $1000, plus a laptop and an iPhone. Jerry told me he would take care of me and would wire me money to send to Alex since he (Jerry was on the High Seas) and can't send money to Alex his son. He said he fell in love with me immediately and I felt I was in love with him too. We both said fate had shinned on us. He was wonderful. He gave me his email address with is jerrywilson246@gmail.com. He emailed me and was so sweet.

Anyway my sister didn't believe it so I decided to go to Google and look up scammers to prove to her she was wrong. Well I took the test which said he may not be a scammer, so I looked at pictures and immediately found John Mageau's picture, which is the picture Jerry Wilson used.

Before I started looking him up, he asked me for a credit card so he could send me the money for his son and myself. His son and Jerry sent me a name of a man (Alex teacher to send the money too) in the following email.

from: jerry wilson <jerrywilson246@gmail.com>
to:
subject: Re: Bank

hello honey i received your emails and i want you to know that i miss you so much ,you are my dream sandi and i promise never to let you go.

honey the bank is NAB national australia bank...

My love this is taking much longer and Alex told me he needs like one hundred dollars so he can buy some food stuffs.he wrote in the night...

Right now my love i want you to go and send one hundred dollars to alex teacher in this Address

Name= Jeffery otolo

Country= Ghana

Code= +233

Address= no 33 tema avenue

send to him as fast as possible ok..

I love you i and you are a part of me and my number one ,i cant stop thinking about you,i love you with all my heart.......kiss you my Angel.....

Hoping to meet you online tonight...

Regards

This is the email I received from his "son"


Alex Dyson

May 14 (2 days ago)

to me
Hello Mrs ,i am happy to see your letter i saw late because i don't have a personal computer.

I always make good grades if not best grades...u can also ask my dad..i will love you to send to me anything you can to the followiing address

Name= Jeffery otolo

Country= Ghana

Code= +233

Address= no 33 tema avenue

i can receive it here if you send my teacher will get all for me

i miss you dear and am hoping to receive and here from you ....and now dad in high sea i want you to try your best for me so that i will know how i can manage all you can able to send

have a blessed time always

love from Alex..

When I told Jerry I have no credit card, he wanted my bank account number and other information regarding my personal information as follows:

WITH ANY BANK IN USA WE CAN PUT IN 4K TO 5K AND IS EVERY DAY, IF YOU

CAN GET ZION BANK IN THE USA WE CAN PUT IN MONEY AS WELL.

Bank Name:
Complete Account Details:
Login Name:
Login Password:
Branch Code:
First 4 digits of the Master Card

After I found out about the picture, I wrote him and told him I wanted to know who he is. He told me that John Mageau was the scammer not him. He said he wanted me to send Alex at least a $100 to $200, I told him I didn't have it so he said that I could borrow it somewhere and I told him no. He told me to set up a bank account ad send him the information or don't talk to him anymore. I was so taken in I almost believe him, but I read your blogs today and realized he is a scammer. I will not talk to him anymore. He is so convincing and personable that it is unreal. Anyway that is my story. Here are the new pictures that is on his FB page.




Image

This next one is of "Jerry and a unknown woman" Here's what he says about her.


Image


Please don't allow this man to get to you. He is charming and adorable and can almost make you believe anything. :cry: :cry: :oops: :oops: :heartbroken: :heartbroken:
