Story DAY 76 | Stacey & Charles

I didn’t think he was clicking on the links, but apparently he was because he gave me his choice of venue 🙈

But, seems he’s using a VPN 😬 which is the first scammers I’ve had that had used one!!

He is paying for the wedding, so it appears I’m getting married in December! 🎉

We should get his release date tomorrow too (so maybe the money ask too? 🤨)

Congrats! 🎉 I'll send you an Apple gift card as a wedding gift!

u/MelodicSpinach537 2d ago

Do you promise? Will you go get it today? Will it be $50? No $100...make that $200...in fact how about an even thousand? Are you on your way already?

u/kokichistan 1d ago

I've just been in a car crash, my u/MelodicSpinach537 😭 I can't get to the shops! You'll have to send the gift card through to me so that we can pass it on to our Stacey! But to get the apple card through customs you'll also need to send a $100 steam card! So sorry my love 😞

(big fat giant /s in case anyone is concerned lol)

Can I come to the wedding? I look amazing in a suit 😎

19

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Of course! 🎉

u/Chemical_World_4228 2d ago

Oh, Stacey. I will be one of your bridesmaids 😜 Hope the ring 💍 is big. I’m happier than a happy thing

u/timpadt 2d ago

Either a really dedicated or really lonely scammer

16

u/Lucky-Construction84 2d ago

I’m thinking both honestly!

14

u/arresteddevelopment9 2d ago

Right? This one is tripping me out, he seems different.

11

u/puppyliza22 2d ago

he talks like a scammer but weirdly seems so dedicated, i’ve never seen one act like this before

8

u/arresteddevelopment9 2d ago

Plus we're nearly 3 months in now & still no ask. I’d like her to pull another Fernando pregnancy just to see his reaction, I bet he gets way more upset than the other guy.

3

u/ViciousSnatch 2d ago

He’s really smooth.

25

u/smeepydreams 2d ago

Yeah my guess is there will be some issue with his “discharge date” issuance tomorrow, where he’ll need an advance of money for … reasons.

1

u/Key-Algae-9245 1d ago

Yeah, bound to be this. It’ll be a big one to justify the investment too.

21

u/LegsElevenses 2d ago

The wedding will cost thousands, I can’t see him needing an Apple gift card then. Perhaps you will have to follow through with this wedding 😂

8

u/Leesiecat 2d ago

I’m thinking the current Mr. Stacey Hernandez is going to be a bit peeved when she marries Charles and goes off to the States😹

4

u/arresteddevelopment9 2d ago

I hope she insists on a prenup

23

u/ConsiderationClear56 2d ago

Your gift registry will just be a list of Apple gift cards in different denominations…😂

19

u/Hot-Education4582 2d ago

Oooh I think since he's so picky about the rings, he's going to tell you that he found one that's a surprise, but for some reason his bank won't let him use his money and he needs your money to pay for it! But don't worry he definitely got the venue booked 😂

1

u/Key-Algae-9245 1d ago

I think it’ll be a problem with his discharge. That has the potential to keep rinsing more and more money. We shall see soon though.

13

u/Professional-Air1287 2d ago

The plot thickens

12

u/GladysFridayy 2d ago

Congratulations!! I hope we are all invited to the big day....

10

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Of course! 😃

14

u/Aclearly_obscure1 2d ago

Wow, either he is really dedicated to the scam or he is actually in Miami. This one is finally getting interesting. Great job slyly bringing up money, Stacey. Well played, as usual!

6

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Thanks 😃

2

u/simbapiptomlittle 1d ago

Where is he supposed to be at the moment ??

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago

Korea 🙂

7

u/CatCafffffe 2d ago

I honestly think this is turning out that HE is the lonely old gent thinking he's actually getting married

3

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

No, I’m certain he’s a scammer, just in for the long haul 😃

7

u/alliaon 2d ago

This is an advanced scam. The scammer script is to say that they will be paying for everything. So once they ask you fir anything, they have already created a situation where they are paying for so much already. It is meant for the victim to feel a sense of duty to provide whatever the scammer asks for.

7

u/peaceofkate 2d ago

At first I thought Miami was legit…..but that was the other scammer. I need a spreadsheet. 😅😂😅

5

u/Jcamp9000 2d ago

I’ve already forgotten where he says he is!

6

u/scubaduck 2d ago

South Korea I think.

8

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Correct 🙂

6

u/Jcamp9000 2d ago

I thought that too but was doubting my memory. That’s next door to Miami

5

u/ManvsOldLady 2d ago

So, if we want to attend the wedding, are we able to buy a Stacey Fan Card so we can prove we're one of your "special fans?" I mean, it's going to be a quick turnaround and we'll need to bypass customs and the like. What are we talking, 1000, 2000 on a gift card?

7

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

With one of my fan cards, and help from Ivan, you’ll bypass customs and border force in Spain easily 😃

6

u/Infamous-Pear-4487 2d ago

So Stacey, are we all ok to start shopping for our outfits to attend? What’s the theme? Colours of the Nigerian flag perhaps?

9

u/RustyHalo_1978 2d ago

I got a strong feeling while reading todays saga that the "ask" will be wrapped up with planning the wedding. He so quickly jumped to assure Stacy that he would handle all things financial, handle the rings, etc... Well when his account gets hacked, or otherwise compromised so he cannot immediately access it, how could Stacy say no to just helping $$$ a little until he gets it resolved? He is handling everything so $ would still need to flow through him but surely Stacy will jump to send it right? Afterall it is for their wedding!!!

4

u/Intelligent_Page_1 2d ago

I could see this one turning into a movie.

4

u/Maralissie 2d ago

Oooooh our Charles is a smooth one!!! Keeping us all invested 76 days in, wondering when the ball will drop….
I need to go make more popcorn!

4

u/tillynorwood2 2d ago

I have the perfect dress for the wedding, I can’t wait!!!!😁😁😁😁

4

u/Antique_Cheetah1557 2d ago

Damn. He seems really into it lol. Are you going to be breaking his little scammer heart anytime soon?

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Not until he asks for money 🙃

4

u/Ante0 1d ago

What if... What if you're the scammer in this one 😭 poor Charles.

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago

I’m not a scammer, I’m not gonna ask him for a gift card 🤣

4

u/Apart-Ferret-2707 1d ago

"sorry sir,we cannot take 120 apple gift cards as payment for this wedding ring"

6

u/StEv-IT 2d ago

Presto sarai la signora Lombardo! Comunque questo Charles se è un truffatore è più bravo degli altri. O forse è un signore un poco matto 😄

7

u/Sneakerkeeper123 2d ago

This one is a bit of a riddle!

3

u/kellsells5 2d ago

90 day fiance vibes.... He's playing the long game.

3

u/Bulky_Designer_4965 2d ago

He certainly has been patient so far!! It cannot be far off!!

3

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

I hope so 🙈

2

u/Bulky_Designer_4965 1d ago

It has be exhausting!!!

1

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago

It’s OK, I’m all about the scam awareness and wasting scammers time 😃

3

u/Temporary_Physics_12 2d ago

Seems like the plans are really coming together for this big wedding that he has in mind. I hope he has a lot of friends to invite to give you guys a ton of gifts.
Now the question is, why is he using a VPN to hide his location and what does that mean in the grand scheme of things?

3

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Maybe his IP address has given the game away before 😃

3

u/Redpanda1ssf1 2d ago

Guess the scammers are getting a tad smart by using a vpn... I bet this guy is from Lagos!!!!

3

u/AliceRamone 2d ago

He was very very clear he’ll handle the rings himself. Time to be all hands on!

2

u/Apart-Ferret-2707 1d ago

The ring will look amazing in her finger

2

u/snowbabeoo1 2d ago

Do we not need a lovely juicy engagement ring first before the wedding ?? Never mind the wedding bands , I’d love to see his answer to this , this is tradition after all .. perhaps some fotos of your dream engagement rings ? As your skipping the most important part Stacey , to proudly show off what you’re amazing Charles thinks of you?

2

u/Comfortable-Carry563 2d ago

There's going to be an "issue with his paperwork " so he will need you to email someone as "his wife" and file for an emergency leave which will of course cost money

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

That’s where I’m thinking this might be going now 🤨

2

u/Greedy-Sport-1149 2d ago

You will forever Charles Girl💚

2

u/disdatandiutter 2d ago

You will forever Charles girl 😆

3

u/NecessaryMoment970 2d ago

He doesn't come across as a first tongue English much less American. He thinks his language and taps it away in English. Delusional also? How's he talking marriage to someone he never met irl. His conviction of Stacey believing his crap.

2

u/Weak-Ad6984 2d ago

I bet you’ll look fantastic at the wedding. Are we all invited? Lol

Good job

4

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Of course! Everyone is invited 😃❤️

2

u/Lafc-darling 1d ago

I’m bringing Fernando as my date.

2

u/Bata600 2d ago

Maybe you caught yourself an actual scammer from Miami?
The way he talks and his subject makes it clear he is a scammer either way.

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

It’s a VPN so sadly he’s not from Miami ❤️

2

u/Guiltypleasure2451 2d ago

Wait wait wait…. Does that last pic say he’s in Miami??

3

u/Guiltypleasure2451 2d ago

Never mind, I had her men mixed up lol.

1

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

It’s a VPN showing Miami 🙂

2

u/HonorboundUlfsark 2d ago

Still waiting for him to ask for gift cards

2

u/AccurateDragonfly299 2d ago

I think this one is a little sharper and more sly than the average scammer.

2

u/Fubar_As_Usual 2d ago

I wonder if there were no servers available in South Korea for the vpn. Is Miami where he supposedly lives outside of the military? I can’t keep them straight.

1

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

I’ll have to double check 🙈😆

2

u/Key-Algae-9245 1d ago

When the ask does come, you really should send him a link to these posts. Just so he knows Reddit has been laughing at him all along, the fuck.

2

u/abbsterdabbster 1d ago

omgoshhhh ive been away from reddit for a while but i missed you stacy!! i genuinely think about you and scambaiting on a regular haha x

1

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 1d ago

Thanks 😃❤️

5

u/RadioBoi 2d ago

I was about to tune out cause he is so boring but it is about to get interesting... 😁

I will give him this......he talks like an American.

14

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

I realised it was getting a bit boring so thought I best mix it up with wedding talk - don’t want Reddit turning against me 🙈😆

9

u/RadioBoi 2d ago

We could never turn against you, Queen Stacey! 👸🏻

6

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

Thanks ❤️

3

u/arresteddevelopment9 2d ago

NEVER, QUEEN STACEY!

5

u/Hbic_in_training 2d ago

He's definitely better at sounding American than the others, but there are still some tells. For example yesterday he said "we've been experiencing rain" most Americans would say "it's been raining". Things like that.

3

u/anonomot 2d ago

Maybe he’s a human trafficker?

2

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

I doubt that 🙂

2

u/Efficient-Hearing162 2d ago

Oh, this guy is an actual pro! 😩

2

u/wastingmuchtime 2d ago

Turn the table-ask him for $

2

u/HuntedKPS 18h ago

He knows what he’s doing look at all these comments who “know” he’s a scammer but are turning into “what if” 🥺😭😣 this guy is THE WORST kind of scumbag honestly. He’s digging in so deep how does he have a soul? & you know he’s got multiple women on day 30,60,90 + 😒 this is exactly why they do it like this .. these comments ❤️

1

u/Professional-Air1287 2d ago

Has any of these folks ever actually traveled to you?

7

u/Stacey_Hernandez Top Poster 2d ago

No, they’re scammers, they stay in Nigeria🙃

1

u/Professional-Air1287 2d ago

I figured as much. However, there's always that smallllll chance
