Today (1/26/2011), I received an email on my work addie. Exactly the same thing as above – robbed, hotel needs to be paid, plane taking off soon etc. even the tears in my eyes part…rofl. I have been dicking with this guy all day long. He actually put a signature with a company name,phone etc here in teh US. I called them just to let them know about this and they had been getting calls all day. There actually is a person with that name who works there. In fact you can google him and get his info. Anyway, he gave me the same phone number as above and I got this website. I have already turned the whole thing over to the FBI..so maybe the will get this doughass.

Either way, he kept me entertained all day long.

glad you caught this guy! Fortunately i have met a man on be naughty a face book application. we exchanged pictures said his name was maurice robert shelton from kankakee illinois i searched the address and found it to be true so didn’t think o much of it. said he was a mining researcher and would be traveling to nigeria to study some kind of rocks there. and he was widowed for 3 years name his wife patty was killed in car accident at chicago airport and has a 10 year old son named mark. he sent me all kinds of gifts and then he got on line and said he needed money 400 dollars for marks excursion fee to virginia with school. i asked him where do i send it he said oyo state ibadan city west nigeria 24302 and to western union it thats when i went to searching and found on romancescam.com all his pictures and everything. so i had to call the real maurice in illinois and tell him that his identity had been stolen and he was freaked out because he had been talking to a woman from there for 2 or 3 months now. last night i singned into my facebook account and there on the news feed page on the right was a photo of my little girls face and it said whose face is this? i tagged it as my daughter but do not know who tagged it first or put it up there like that. he has 2 current facebook accounts 1 is under kent oakes and the other is under steve turner the pic of kent is wearing a burgundy shirt with black floral print the one of steve he is wearing a suit so what do i do guys i am scared to death!

[...] asking him to tell us how we met, he ignored the question but sent this UK number +447024015257 for his “hotel manager.” I searched the number and found a thread proving the scam. [...]
