A Message From The Real Corin Riggs
We Received A Comment Recently From The Real Corin Riggs About The Theft And Use Of Her Photos:
I am Corin Riggs and I know you are all being scammed :)
I am not single or looking to date, nor do I need money. I am financially doing quite well. I definitely do not live outside of the USA and never will.
Sorry to hear you all fell into these scammers traps! The best thing you can do to help me fight the scammers using my photos is to report them to the websites they are on, to make them aware that these are fake accounts. I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Corin Riggs
We are sincerely thankful for her reaching out in this way.
So many men refuse to believe that these stolen photos were simply used by scammers – many actually believe they are either in love with the real Corin Riggs or that she personally is scamming them from Ghana or wherever. We have said it many times, U.S. adult stars do not live in Ghana or West Africa. Their photos are stolen, and they are victims too of identity theftIdentity Theft Identity theft is when someone uses another person's personal identifying information, without their permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. In both the U.K. and the United States it is the theft of personally identifiable information. Identity theft deliberately uses someone else's identity as a method to gain financial advantages or obtain credit and other benefits, and perhaps to cause other person's loss. The person whose identity has been stolen may suffer adverse consequences, especially if they are falsely held responsible for the perpetrator's actions. Personally identifiable information generally includes a person's name, date of birth, social security number, driver's license number, bank account or credit card numbers, PINs, electronic signatures, fingerprints, passwords, or any other information that can be used to access a person's financial resources.. They are being impersonated for the sole purpose of defrauding you and other men of your money, breaking your hearts and lives in the process.
Regardless of how hard you fell for a photo, this is the reality of these scamsScams A Scam is a confidence trick - a crime - is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust through deception.

A man name James woody. (False name given. ) claims he is flight officer. Has dog just pass. All the usual shit. Wife died cancer 11 yr old daughter. Now in Syria. Within 2wks. He claimed he was madly in love. + talking in broken English. Sent me photos. Which has been stolen from a soldier. .luckily. did not send no money. I’d lost my dog to. Thought he was a genuine pet lover. Just saying u can easily fall 4 scammerScammer A Scammer or Fraudster is someone that engages in deception to obtain money or achieve another objective. They are criminals that attempt to deceive a victim into sending more or performing some other activity that benefits the scammer.. But my instincts new it wasnt right. So looked him up on this sight and found a picture. That was stoked. So ladies just b aware .and check to see if they say who they are. And do not send no money what so ever. And dont send photos that are provocative. ..in there hands could be dangerous.
