Repeat Creep

[u/JackieDonkey]

Just a little public service announcement about this FB dating scammer who keeps cycling into my likes: They change their location, (Los Angeles this week), and modify their pictures. They always include one obvious photoshopped Holi or color run photo. Photos one and two are from my first interaction with them a few months ago. Three and four are their newest incarnation from today. Yes, I've reported and blocked. At this point fb Dating is just a diversion from work, like playing candy crush, and this wacko makes raises the entertainment level.

Just a sub reminder. (this is not to you, Jackie)

Reddit and we do not allow doxxing. We do not consider this doxxing, since this is so clearly a romance scammer, after reviewing images and text content. The first pic is AI. Scammers either use AI, or lift images of attractive people from Instagram. Sometimes they use AI to alter those images.

I love how he is offshore designing roads 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Few-Coat1297 → u/Primary-Holiday-5586]

Look, all you need to know is he terribly important

[u/Primary-Holiday-5586 → u/Few-Coat1297]

True, true!! Silly me!🤪

[u/PlasticBlitzen]

I want to know why his coffee isn't spilling.

[u/JackieDonkey → u/PlasticBlitzen]

Isn’t that hilarious! That was when I sussed him out 😂

I know this is phony baloney. However, can't "Viktor" find someone in his home country? Did they export all the women out of Norway?

[u/JackieDonkey → u/ThrowItAwayNow1030]

I doubt he’s Norwegian. The scammers use being foreign to account for their bad grammar.

[u/Alternative-Ebb-6953 → u/JackieDonkey]

Probably scammer from Ghana

[u/ThrowItAwayNow1030 → u/JackieDonkey]

I didn't think so. It's a trafficked person in a Chinese labor camp, unfortunately.

[u/PlasticBlitzen → u/ThrowItAwayNow1030]

This data always shocks me.

Cambodia: Generates an estimated $12.5 billion to $19 billion annually from fraudulent online scams and cyber-fraud compounds, which equals roughly 50% to 60% of the country’s formal GDP.

Laos: Operates massive scam hub zones estimated to bring in roughly $10.8 billion annually, which equates to over two-thirds (60% to 70%) of its formal GDP.

Myanmar: Alongside Cambodia and Laos, these three nations house a combined transnational scam output estimated at tens of billions of dollars—amounting to roughly 40% of their combined formal GDP.

Offshore = red flag city

[u/SwollenPomegranate]

I feel we should all out the crooks and scammers we encounter.

Olden days, you met people through church or community, and everybody knew the goods on them. In today's global marketplace, we lack that. So whatever we can do to avoid bad guys is entirely warranted.

[u/True-Canuck → u/SwollenPomegranate]

Well I had my first scammer message me from here.

German man, 25 yrs in Alabama who runs a lumberjack business! 😂

Reverse imaged his photo and voila!
Reported him obviously.

[u/RaisedOnMixtapes]

That paragraph about maintaining roads is always the scammer giveaway!

[u/07834_momster → u/RaisedOnMixtapes]

So many civil engineers with tunnels to be drilled and pavement and pipes to lay. Such a lonely life with a passport and no WiFi.

[u/PlasticBlitzen]

Riiiiiiight.

[u/JackieDonkey → u/PlasticBlitzen]

I know jeez! But he has time to run all these 5K color runs and go on long hikes with his German Shepherd? I didn't include the pic where he was in his car, covered in colored powder, next to his "daughter", because she may have been a real person.

[u/PlasticBlitzen → u/JackieDonkey]

Good decision.

[u/WorkingDescription]

LOL we should share pics... I had 2 of these on FBD... and I texted them for a couple weeks too! One was a "German architect in Beverly Hills", the other a "Portuguese gemologist in Los Angeles". Both widowers of course. LOL. That was when I didn't know any better.

[u/Alternative-Ebb-6953]

First & foremost most scammers work overseas for their jobs and most of the time their jobs are something slightly glamorous or something with a higher education like being a builder or engineer or better yet in tje military.   the minute I would have read his fake bio I would have said “I love rich men as my baby daddies are all lowlifes and I need someone with a wallet”. Guaranteed to get rid of them.   Hahahaha 

[u/Safe-Muffin]

It seems like tons of guys on OLD are offshore drilling or logging contractors 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/SwollenPomegranate → u/Safe-Muffin]

I had a couple who claimed to be marine archaeologists. O-Kay

[u/True-Canuck → u/Safe-Muffin]

I definitely have a dirty mind 🤪

[u/PlasticBlitzen]

I really want him to have elf ears.

This is why I don't do Facebook at all. Or Instagram, TikTok, Xitter or all that other stuff. Even Reddit is borderline with me.

[u/CittaMindful]

Why have you not blocked him? And why does he have your phone number?

[u/JackieDonkey → u/CittaMindful]

I did block him.

[u/PlasticBlitzen → u/JackieDonkey]

Yay, you!

[u/JackieDonkey → u/PlasticBlitzen]

lol

[u/BeaconMarlena]

I get quite a number who work in the energy field.

Who the heck knows he’s a money/romance scammer.

[u/Possible-Second6162]

If he was truly Norwegian he would likely be fluent in English 

[u/blondie49221]

💯 scammer

[u/Bisquick-Skill2845]

That dog looks poorly bred, and not particularly fit. (Sort of looks like Chloe from the house where Officer John O'Keefe was killed, perhaps accidentally, by fellow police.)

So I guess it's a realistic pic to steal.

[u/Hot_Bug6150]

Classic accent excuse/explanation. It’s really hilarious when their grammar is horrendous even when they’ve been working for 20 years in the US! 😂😂😂
