2 scammers on eHarmony.
Ken Walford - His yahoo ID is kenwalfordonline. He said he lives in Chicago and has a house in CA, travels a lot on the job because he's in oil business and when we first started the communication, he told me he's going to Scotland. We IMed a few times, and something's just not right, like he didn't know Lake County (everyone who lives in Chicago knows Lake County) So, I traced his ip address (I am in the IT field) and found that his ip address was in Enugu, Nigeria. When I asked him about it, he disappeared.
Wilson Hoods - His yahoo ID is wilsonhoods. But on eHarmony, his name is Davis. His profile said he's in North Chicago. Same thing, we IMed on yahoo, he said he was in Germany with his son who's 16. He's civil engineer and travels a lot, I asked him how come his son doesn't go to school, he said his son's smart and already finished the college. He never answered my questions like how long he will stay in Germany and same as Ken, he couldn't answer questions about North Chicago or avoided talking stuff only locals would know. I traced his IP address and found that it's from Accra, Ghana. Well, not Nigeria, but certainly not in Germany.
Don't count on eHarmony to do anything. There are ways to protect yourself from scammers... like trace the IP address (I can tell you how if you need to know), ask questions that only locals would know, etc.
