Hi cantgetme,
In my dealings with Ken Walford, I attempted to discover if he lived anywhere in the USA. There is a Ken Walford (age 51 now, I believe) who
lived in California. I actually used one of the online people finders to get information. I believe it is a stolen identity. He told me that he presently lives in Chicago. He gave me an address that turned out to be a business in Chicago. Ken Walford told me that Gift Akire was his engineer for his "project" in Nigeria. Has he told you about how the "youths" in Nigeria kidnapped his engineer, beat him and held him hostage, yet? This was why he had to pay them $30,000 and did not have enough money for his plane fare home. Oh, he also told me Gift Akire is from Arkansas. You'll find there is no one in the USA under that name either. "Ken Walford" has more than one email address too. When he took another one out, I got a notice from his yahoo account. The scammers do this to take out more than one profile on the online dating sites. It was a surprise to him that yahoo did that.
Good for you that you took the initiative to check this scammer out. By the way, since June, I have received numerous scammers from eHarmony. The latest is Spencer from Skokie, Illinois. Says his name is William Spencer Lawrence and he is a civil engineer and is currently in London for an ongoing project until the beginning of next month. His email address is
lawrencespencer16@yahoo.com. The IP address from the two emails he sent me track out from Nigeria. I just bet come the beginning of next month, some disaster is going to befall ole William Spencer Lawrence and the unfortunate he has "hooked" will be the only person on earth who can save him by sending him money. If I sound cynical, it is because I was foolish enough to take out a subscription on eHarmony for a year. Everytime they run a "free" weekend promotion, I get all kind of scammers. I guess I am in the target demographics.
Take Care of yourself out there...this goes for the guys as well as gals.
