Has anyone been contacted by Jaleel Osman. She is very convincing. In fact, she sent me a page with her picture from her passport. She is gorgeous. Can you fake passport pages?

She is so beautiful and I enjoyed messaging w/ her so much, I almost didnt care. Please let me know if anyone has been taken by her.

Susan I HOPE YOU HAVE NOT SENT YOUR SCAMMER A LINK TO THIS PAGE. If you send this scammer a link to this page, then you have blown our cover. The whole point of this page is that their victims can report them and anyone who thinks they are being scammed (like yourself) can be alerted and avoid falling into their trap. If they know we are on to them, theyll just change tactics and create a whole new bunch of victims.

Patricia, I believe your David Wayne has now contacted me -- he also send me a photo of a son that he said lived in crossville, TN and is a jewelry designer. The way I found this site was I googled his business email to check it out as I has suspicions. waynesalesandworkdesign@safe-mail.net He also sent me photos of his two dogs and cats...of course, now he is in love and God has sent me to him! I suspected something wasnt right -- glad you posted this so I could confirm my suspicions.

warrior al,
There is no need for you to go to NY. You would have to go to Ghana. These UK and USA phone numbers are false, are just to make his claim to reside in UK or USA legit. He is in Ghana, am positive of that. Check the IP address of emails you recd from him whether he used the name Steve or Michael. Same computer I bet. Use IP locater to see what computer, and where computer was located when emails sent...I bet the result is that he was in Ghana all along. Pity I dont have the skill to wipe that hard drive! Would save a lot more victims.

Someone from Ghana claimed that they want to buy 20 electric guitars from us urgently.

After several emails of exchanging info, we found that their Company name, the Shipping Company, the Address, even the contact persons do not exist on the internet. Most likely something fishy is going on. We then sent a email to them and tell them that after serious consultantion, our legal advisers, along with our accountants advise us not to process any further to do business with you then.

===========================================================

The letter below is the letter that they sent us :

Thanks for the quick reply well i have got the total cost as AU$5,800.00 but for the mean time am in a business conference and i want you to contact the Skonty Shipping Company to get me the shipping charges from them to come and pick the merchandise from your location and have it shipped to my company in West Africa

Shipping Company Name : Skonty Shipping Company
Contact Name : Mr Chuck Datson
Contact Email address : skontyshipping@gmail.com

And the information that the shipping company will request in order to provide you with the shipping charges is

1. The full pick up location Address
2. The size and Quantity of the Guitars to be picked up and shipped
3.The shipping address

And the address where i need the Guitars to be shipped is below

Mr Steve Anim
Nelson and Co Instruments Company
52 Nima Street
Ghana Accra 00233

And so i will like you to contact the shipping company as soon as you can and send me an email response back with the shipping charges.
Best Regards
Mr Nelson

john_white161@yahoo.com John L. White
newghanatravel@yahoo.com Maxwell Aldo
They use PO Box 573, Accra Ghana 00233.
They have fleeced a cleint of mine.

If you want to verify a person is who they say thay are by photo, start with asking for a photo where you direct them to hold a specific object or dress in a certain way. The majority of the pictures utilized are stock photos of models who may not even be invovled. If they are the person they portray, this presents no problem to produce.

Ghana scams - scammed too

2008-11-01 05:22:20

This Michael Cosme also uses what looks like a UK number 07031 928845, so you UK online daters watch out for it. Who knows what name he will use next. The number is actually one that will forward your call to him in Ghana. His story is that he is a contractor building roads and his final payment is being held by the Ghana government until he pays certain taxes. There might also be legal fees, court fees, document notarisation fees. Whatever.... Basically the message is send no money to anyone you do not personally know.

I too was scammed by Michael Cosme and lost money to him. He is very patient, and very charming. He chatted to me from June 2008 to October 2008, when he was supposed to come and see me in the UK but did not show up (surprise, surprise). He has changed his phone numbers and the latest one might be +233246635157. He must be working his latest scam because up to today that phone number was still in use. A lawyer accomplice of his uses the number +233245378342. These people need to go to jail for what they are doing - preying on the sympathies of innocent victims. He uses email addresses of wiseoldman100@yahoo.com and p.henry80@yahoo.com (supposedly his sister Anita Peters). His story is that he is from Syracuse in New York (315 307 0015)and has been building roads in Ghana (even sent me the pictures). He sent me many pictures of himself - an Asian Pacific Islander in military uniform and civilian clothing. He is very organised. I was very cautious, but he still caught me out. THIS PERSON MUST BE STOPPED.

thank you guys for your comments. latest update, frederick e-mailed me stating that he had not been in touch with me for a few days because he and his lawyer have changed the name of some documents to his brother name. his brother lives in the uk and now he has one document he has to change to my name since i am a us citizen and when he comes to visit we both can go and pick them up at ups. i said sure but he will have to pay me for my services and the use of my name and before anything can be done he will have to come to md first. he has my name but he has my nickname that is not on any of my ids. so lets see what will happen.

hey patricia i think you can either send or post his picture on romancescams group. i do know they do have pictures on that site. this is an excellent website.

wml yes i would like to catch this guy and i too have saved everything he sent me. what can we do??? have you reported this to anyone??? i have not as of yet. but there is form on romancescams group webiste to report if one has sent any money.

thanks a million guys!!!!!

i wish i had known about all this sooner.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, beware! After reading some of the comments here, I am grateful the light bulb went on for me, EARLY with this. Contacted a very handsome and then what turned out to be very romantic and sensitive man at one of the dating site. Yep, within four days, he loved me! The holes in his stories and the fact that his father left him 250 Billion, yep, not million, BILLION, made me laugh out loud. I continued to play his game for almost three weeks, then I became incredibly bored! DAVID G. WAYNE was supposed to live in Milwaukee. Moved from Atlanta to come here because of the weather. Those of you WHO know Milwaukee....winter sucks! Said he was born and raised in Paris, both parents deceased, no siblings and a few family members he does not get along with still in Paris. He had a son and ex wife in Crossville, TN. He was in the jewelry business, designing, buying and selling gems and gold. The photos he sent to me also have some inconsistencies in them. It was a shame that in two of the photos a young boy was in them. I felt bad that the photo of this young boy was being exposed. Here is what this scammer is using: usernames at match.com: Celebration50 and Freeksy2318. I also found him on an internet search for another site using dustoftherabin. Emails consist of dustoftherabin@yahoo.com, dustoftherabin50@yahoo.com, waynesalesandworkdesign@safe-mail.net and dustoftherabinwayne.com. Phone numbers: 414-375-7830. The phone in Ghana he gave me which I never phoned: 23-3248207635. This particular scammer was just not SLICKER than the potential victim. I believe if I would have given him a few more days he would have asked for money. Prior to his departure from Milwaukee to Chicago to travel to Accra, Ghana, he told me he froze all of this bank accounts due to his last trip somebody emptied them out! LOL! The day before I confronted him on email, he also broke his computer! When I did email him that I was on to him......you bet, the emails and Yahoo IMs stopped. Can anybody out there tell me where I can post ALL the photos he sent to me? He also sent pictures of his dogs and supposed jewelry designs.

I have saved all of this emails and IMs and want to do something with them to make other people aware, because I do not believe this is a bustable scam!

I am glad to see both men and women posted that have fallen for this and are not finding embarassment out of it. YES, some of them are very good and I can see how one can be swept off of their feet!

Thanks for letting me save my info on MY LOSER!

Frederick in Ghana stated his name is Fred Woods.

We met on an online dating service.

He claims to be a Jeweler from Vegas, that went for a contract in London then went to Africa to purchase gold at a good price.

He did want me to send him food to:
Theophilus Banini
30 Labone St
P.O. Box 3012
Accra-Ghana 00233

I did not send anything and he got angry,

He also wanted me to loan him money to get a business license for a purchase of gold to bring to America and resell at a profit. He did not get any money from me.

He has also stated during every chat, that he loves me and wants to love and would cherrish me forever.

He did call me at odd hours.

He did not get any money from me.

Do not send this man any money.


I still have him hooked if you want to catch him!!!!!!!
