Hi there,
I am glad I found another site to express my scam issue. The man I met was eric mcfadden who saw me on plenty of fish dating site. He states he lived in New York, sounds like he is Scottish. He never answered any of my questions over 5 months. He never gave a current phone# or mailing address. He always gave a mobile phone# from london or Nigeria. He scammed me out 20,000. I also wrote on the Minnesota post about people actually getting monies back. Maybe if Washington State hears this news, I can maybe get my monies. He lured me, sent me love cards and proposed to me over email and we never met. One of the things I read today is that for the 419 scam, these people do not answer the phones on the weekend, you would get a busy signal. Or he would call you for monies because he had no one else to help. Everyone in his family were deceased. He asked to have medical, travel and work expenses paid for by me. I fell for it but I am very angry that this scam is not looked into further.
If you are a victim or can advise help to me, I am open to suggestions. I want this to stop. Also, he said he went to court in London last week for work compensation and wanted to send 1.2 million dollars to my account. I never met the man. And he had someone call me at 4 am last thursday to fill out paperwork for Barclay bank and provide passport #/place of birth and bank info. I refused to give that info. Since then, I have been recieving lots of scam emails asking for more monies through western union. I have been sending those to western union. Just an fyi, I am forwarding the emails and then blocking the sender. I read that once these emails are blocked, hopefully action will take place. Thank you for listening..
Pictures of this person are attached. Again, I never met this man, so I am not sure who this really is.
His email was
ericmcfadden555@yahoo.comOh and yes he said he was a self employed engineer/yet he did not have a cell phone or name of his business. He also asked for monies to be sent to other people for him. He said when he was in Lagos, he did not have a work permit(he was a tourist). The person who stated as being eric's lawyer was mark melborne and used
barristermarketlaw@yahoo.com.
One of the phone # eric used was 447024055754. He also likes Manchester soccer, so if you get caught up with him, you will know that soccer is more important than you. I hope someone can help.
Also there is no answering machine or message on these phones. I am not quite sure how they get these phones. And I have contacted my local phone company about the calls. He made me rake in over 200.00 one month to talk to him at his convience.
