I met this man on a Jewish website. He said he was Jewish and we hit it off. Lots of google texts back and forth. He sent me his pictures and I saw him once on his webcam and yes, he matched the pictures. So his story is his name is Billy Gray, lives in Chicago and is a widower with a 15 year old daughter named Sandra. He's a Swedish citizen, and says he's an engineer. When I ask him what kind, he changes the subject. First clue I ignored because I'm a sucker for poetry and he sends me several poems. Then he sends me the oath I have to take. About being faithful and not listening to anyone who wants to break us up and accepting his daughter as mine, etc. I don't sign it but I write my own where I said I would try. He gets called away to an oil rig off the coast of London? I question where he is but again, he's all apologetic and claims he's confused by what I say. Also he forgot his webcam. So I let him see me on webcam but it's very uncomfortable to me so I stop. Then his daughter goes off to China and he ends up telling me she fell down and broke her knee and was rushed to intensive care. Ok all kinds of things wrong here but he's already got me hooked so I believe him. So first I sent 800.00 although I ask what hospital she's at and he says he's not dealing with a hospital but a doctor. Again, he can't tell me the doctor's name. He tells me to send it to Anthony Schneck. I google the name and tell him it's a scam. He is crying and begging and reminding me of our oath. Then he says it's not Anthony Schneck but Schneck Anthony. In Beijing. So then a week goes by and she needs a specialist. And more money I don't have, but I borrow some and send it because we're getting married and I have lost my mind. Another chunk of money and she's out of the hospital and I'm broke. Finally he's coming home but he needs to go pick his daughter up in China. And wouldn't you know, Billy gets robbed. He needs money - I don't have it. So he has somebody transfer money to one of my credit cards and I'm supposed to send it. Thank goodness by then I'm waking up to the fact that something is not right here and sure enough, it isn't. So an alert bank manager and I sit down and we reverse the western union, I call the police, give them the information and they told me to cease contact. I cancelled my credit card and sure enough, bye bye goes the money transfer. Of course, he just tried to im me and I can't believe he's still using the same email addresses. I so want him caught. I have no idea where he actually is and I doubt if it's just one person involved. It's creepy. Thank goodness I've saved all the chats after I got suspicious, and I have every one of his embarassing I love you you're hot emails. So how long do I have to wait until something's done? It's starting to feel like a stalker...

Just as an update - he's still trying to contact me through chat and it's bugging me. I feel like if I had 3 6' relatives I'd have them track him down and do :evil: How can you sleep at night knowing that you're victimizing people?

And because you've been bugging me, here are the pictures...

First I am so sorry you were scammed. The next thing you can do is block him. Do not open any of his emails. You can also post the information you have on him on as many anti-scam sites as you can. Be sure to included his username, email address, pics, emails and IMs. Below are just two of the many sites on the web.

http://romancelovescams.mysubdn.com/forum/index.php

You can also tell all of your family and friends about scams. Shawn has started a petition for scam education and awareness programs. The link is in her signature line. If you do not want your name or location to show on the petition then be sure to uncheck the box just below your information.

best of luck to you.

I found out someone else got scammed from the person using these pictures to pretend that they are Billy Gray. I was able to trace el jerko to (surprise!) Lagos Nigeria. End of story.

Wow...this is SAD! I was on a Christian website and who should pop up, Mr. Billy Gray. We talked for some period of time on the site's chat site. He keep insisting that we go to Yahoo messenger, stating he felt more comfortable using Yahoo chat that this Christian website. Than he wanted more pictures than what was already listed on the site, my home and my personal cell phone number. I told him 'no', and that I was only going to respond to him through this Christian website. Before I went to work that night, he sent a long email asking all kinds of personal information. I was going to respond to his email when I got home. He is no longer listed on the website. I thought it was really strange, so I started googl'ing his name and this is where I was sent.

I'm so angry, the thought of this person scamming' innocent people really makes me angry!
Just proves that you trust NOONE!
Thanks for the heads up!
Lena

Lena - Just remember the person wasn't "Billy Gray" but someone with some poor schmuck's pictures. Happy to hear it didn't go very far for you but that doesn't mean you can't feel angry because of what happened. Just be careful out there....

Gee that's a really nice way to describe someone who has had their photos stolen and is being abused by a scammer. :roll: How about being less insulting towards victims of criminal activities eh? [schmuck]
