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.

Gentleman through messaging talking and even phoning every day telling me how much he loved me Had to go to Vancouver BC then all of a sudden to Cypress but will be back in 2 weeks and be with me.

Was the mailbox address in the U.S. or Canada?

Typically, the mule is paid for services with a small part of the money transferred - but not always. Mules may or may not be aware that they are performing these actions. Money mules are often dupes recruited online for what they think is legitimate employment, not aware that the money they are transferring is the product of crime. The money is transferred from the mule's account to the scam operator, typically in another country. Similar techniques are used to transfer illegal merchandise. Mules can be prosecuted for numerous crimes. working for the scammerScammer A Scammer or Fraudster is someone that engages in deception to obtain money or achieve another objective.
