i recv'd im' and e-mails from this guy and he had given me a cell number 0112348027249574. his name is jerry john(s) also goes by walt_clark, roy_smith, peter_johnson (we know he uses that one). he is very very charming so be careful. he said he was a business man from FL who is doing business in Nigeria. His business partner took all of his money and now he has to go to the UK as the bank needs him to verify documents. I guess he has never heard of a fax machine. He needed $2500 to be able to go there and had it all but $500 that he needed to borrow from me. I have known for a while that he was a scammer and confronted him on several occasisions about it. He of course denied it and had even found the website he had got his pics from and of course he dowloaded them himself. i have even found his pic and profiles on (get this) std websites. i confronted him about that as well after researching symptoms and such. he could not explain what the symptoms were. he could never answer any questions the day you asked him and he had trouble keeping his stories straight. keep asking him the same questions over and over again eventually he will screw up. he told me his wife and kids were killed in a car accident 7 years ago, then it was 3 years ago, and finally he had lost them one year ago. at the same time he lost his parents and sister in the same year. when i asked him about the car accident he took offense when i asked him what happened. he said the breaks failed and i had asked if it was a manufacturing defect or what. he got mad. i had someone else contact him too and of course he replied back to her under a different name after telling her he was in a relationship as pastor_jerry45. all of his screen names are followed by numbers for the various names but i do not remember them anymore. everytime i talked to him one of them (of course it was him playing games) would also im me. he of course was jealous that i was talking to other men. this guy is a real nutcase so beware.

They are persistent little buggers aren't they... as long as they think there is any chance you are going to pay them, as long as you keep answering them, they'll keep trying. Thankfully in your case that tactic wasn't going to succeed

They usually get mad or act very offended when you call them out for what they are. Of course, it's all part of the act. For some it doesn't matter how much evidence you throw at them, they'll come up with excuses, intimidate you, or try to divert your attention with all the money you're going to receive.

Maybe you can understand the reasons that some people actually sell off their entire lives to pay these scumbags, for whatever reasons they invent.

Another famous "Jerry". This person works from a script, and if you ask too many off script questions, they always get lost. Quite a few of them are on YIM too, with the same story...no family, trapped in Africa somewhere, can't remember their children's names, ages, etc.
