I met him on a dating site, he claimed his name was Desmond Elliot, like the actor, but he looked different, very handsome. He wrote me daily about how he was from GA and his sick mother was in the UK. He loved me and missed me after only 2 days (lol) I played along and the writing was very romantic. All was good and he could not wait to be with me and start his new life, he said he lost his wife 2 years prior and was a widow with a 13 year old daughter, then when I asked him to call me he had a problem with his phone. But he wrote me and told me he got mugged and needed money to get back to the States. I told him to just wire his bank and he claimed that he couldn't because of a stop on his credit cards. It sounded shady...then he went for the kill and asked me for money. I didn't have any so he got mad and said I didn't care about him, his romantic talk soon turned into cursing and exclamations. I offered to pray for him and he told me 'don't pray for me! Save it for your family!' I asked 'WHO ARE YOU?' and he disappeared, and surely his photo was still on the site but disappeared when I asked who he was. I was a little sad cause I wanted this guy to be real, he was so romantic and sweet, but turned into a jeckl and hyde when I didn't have money. I still wonder who's picture he stole, cause Id like to meet the real guy who's photo I saw. He's probably a victim too.

Er zijn een hoop zogenaamd in het leger werkende Amerikanen, maar in het leger heb je geen gelegenheid om dit soort dingen te doen.
Trap er niet in, ze zijn allemaal weduwnaar. Het ene verhaal is nog triester dan het anderen, kinderen verongelukt, echtgenotes aan kanker overleden enz.
Zodra ze familie in Nigeria of Ghana zeggen te hebben meteen weg dr mee!.

Mike James was supposed to live in Devon, UK and worked for a fabrics company but he was on line with me all day long so I don't see how he had time to work and talk to me as well. We spent hours on line everyday, even the weekend. Then he was supposed to go to Belgium for the company and then went to Nigeria where he was in a bus that had an accident and said many of the staff members had been killed. He needed 5000USD for the state so he could leave and come to the states to meet me. He said he retired from the company and was coming here. I did not send him any money but he was romantic and sent poems. Wanted to send flowers but I told him I didn't want any.
This is the same person that has posed as Mike Williams and Michael. It is the same person just a different pose. This image was also posted here: Dating scammer Kenny Williams Dating scammer Micheal Dating scammer Stephen Frank

I may have posted on the wrong page, but this page has Larry Smith on it, so I'm going to post on this one too. Larry Smith is 'dating' a friend in Australia. They met on a dating site. He says he is in the Army, based in Camp Phoenix. His phone doesnt have a camera so he doesnt send many pictures. He apparently is the ONLY American service member that DOESNT have an address. She cant send him any mail and he isnt allowed to receive care packages. He did send a picture in his uniform, how ever, the name Velez was on the uniform. So which is it? Larry Velez, or Larry Smith. Apparently its Larry Smith Velez, he just doesnt add his last name, but the army saw fit to put that on his uniform!!!!! Oh riiiiiiiight. He then sends another picture of him receiving, of all things.... a purple heart!!!!!!!!! WTF. I am so disgusted that this 'person' could use someone else's injuries and misfortunes to further his agenda of STEALING MONEY FROM PEOPLE. I do feel bad for this girl, after all, it's in the name of love, right. I dont know how many people have to tell her it's a scam before she believes it. He said he needed money to pay OFF THE OFFICERS SO THEY WOULDNT SEND HIM TO SYRIA!!!!!!!!!! And of course, he has a sick son (dont military people have health coverage, being active duty and all????) And then he says he's been in the army for 20 years and when he gets out, he's getting $100,000. Nice, I might join up for that. Anyhoooo, I want this dirt bags name out there....... so Larry Smith.....or Larry Smith Velez, what ever your name is.....I hope your enjoying taking out your bimbo tart on my friends hard earned cash.
