This person was on facebook early January2022.I replied and after a few chats he suggested using Hangouts. I connected on Google Chats.The romance lines came thick and fast.After 4weeks he directly asked me for money,$2000. Broke contact for a few days but resumed only to be later asked for ITunes card for $300 to help with his 8yr old daughter who was boarded in Southern Carolina.He told me his wife had died. I Googled ITunes and had the revelation of the implication of what they can be used for.I told him it was not going to happen and got lots of sad emojis.Still kept talking as this was a game and some sport. He was a Doctor working in Somalia, had a 5yr contract which had finished and was needing someone to “help get him out”. I was to email the UN and apply for leave of absence. No money was asked for but I was expecting it. His hole had got pretty deep by now.I had another request for ITunes but said no. His 8yr old daughter had also emailed me as a friend of Dads. Good use of words and puctuation for an 8yr old ??.Suspected there may have been 2 people in volved at that point.He said he was from Germany, USA from age 23 and did Med training there.His email was axelgarthshane17@gmail.com That was the only name that I knew.Could be called Alex.This has been quite an experience which I finally decided had gone on long enough so have uninstalled Google Chats and Hangouts.It is easy to see how this gets started with such an atractive hook as Dr.Pinto.
My mom fell for this scamScam 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 scam is a crime even if no money was lost.. The details used: James, widower with an 11-year-old son, wife died in a car crash, WHO doctor on contract in Bangkok, stuck there due to COVID. Asked for money – maybe to end his contract early? I didn’t really want to know how much she was suckered out of.
This is not the way to respond to a crime. Call you local police and report the full amount lost. Get a police report number. Then report to http://www.Anyscam.com and the FBIFBI FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation

He sustained his name is IRIS FATAYI ILDRIS -from the start I ask him about the origin but he postpone.
So blockBlock Blocking is a technical action usually on social media or messaging platforms that restricts or bans another profile from seeing or communicating with your profile. To block someone on social media, you can usually go to their profile and select it from a list of options - often labeled or identified with three dots ••• and report him
Unfortunately the same thing happened to me! The same person friended me on Facebook then asked to talk on Google Hangouts. His Facebook name was Robert Spencer who lives in Rochester, NY. He said he was an Orthopedic Surgeon whose wife was killed in a car accident 4 years ago and has a son named Kelly, age 14 who goes to school in England. He said he works in Afganistan, but was returning home in November. Claims he has no family and almost immediately professed his love, asked for pictures and sent several of “himself”. He just asked for money yesterday claiming that the UN had frozen his assets. He needed the money to upgrade his phone for books and video games. What a joke!!
Dobrý den chtěla jsem vám dát vědět že mám naky fotky jeho a teď se jmenuje John Michael a chtěl bych jsem mu koupila kartu steam a dal mi náki účet ale já jsem to neudela bylo to divné a teď přej den
Thank you for your comment. We are glad that you did not lose any money.
He also goes by the name of
Nick Daniel Adams ..and ..Kelvin Mike
Both Instagram. He also uses the Hangout app.
He asked me for a money card twice, asked to purchase phones thru my plan, and even offered to pay my bills and put me up. All the while stating to be my friend but that was in love with me. Then asked me for $300 and flipped out on me cuz I told him no so many times that I blocked him. He stole my pictures from my profile and mocked them up, he gathered info about all my friends and followers and threatened me. After I blocked him, he created another profile name and threatened me again thru messages. He also got ahold of my email. I don’t correspond and have since Reported and deleted my Instagram account and might delete Facebook cuz he’s threatening me over all social appsApps Applications or Apps
An application (software), commonly referred to as an ‘app’ is a program on a computer, tablet, mobile phone or device. Apps are designed for specific tasks, including checking the weather, accessing the internet, looking at photos, playing media, mobile banking, etc.
Many apps can access the internet if needed and can be downloaded (used) either for a price or for free.
Apps are a major point of vulnerability on all devices. Some are designed to be malicious, such as logging keystrokes or activity, and others can even transport malware.
Always be careful about any app you are thinking about installing.. His threat was to tell everyone that I murdered his whole family and help him get rid of me. He is sick
Not HIM, but the scammers who stole his photos
His picture is on tik tok,now..
I got an email from a man named Raymond. He sent me a video of Dr.Fernand Gomes Pinto.His Email address is Emiliopelham 54321.
I found a real Facebook site of Dr.Fernando Gomes Pinto by image search. He has talked that more than 400 of his photos was used for fraudFraud In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain (money or other assets), or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong. The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements.
A fraud can also be a hoax, which is a distinct concept that involves deliberate deception without the intention of gain or of materially damaging or depriving a victim. on Brazilian TV.
Funny story Dr. Johnson Klopp lives in New Orleans with the whole practice being a orthopedic surgeon. Doing missionary work in Syria making millions of dollars. Wife passed away two years ago in a car accident and said he has two children who he shipped away to Africa to a boarding school. Who in their right mind would ever do that. This guy is an absolute womanizer and crock of shit. Please be where any woman that falls for his BS this is disgusting and how could a human being treat another human being in this manner. I could go on but I have no reason but to warn other women. His name and email address at the bottom. Dumb ass..
This man is currently using Instagram naming himself Frankray875. I was immediately suspicious of him, apparently lives in Uk but in Indianisia working as a civil engineer. Lost wife and child in labour and has a 4 yr old living in America!! Full of spelling mistakes & contradicts himself
“This man” is not the 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.. Those are stolen photos used by a multitude of scammers. There will be thousands of fake profiles using the real man’s photos. Dr. Gomez Pinto is not a scammer.

Well I think he has hit again as I have been talking with him on hangouts however he goes by Craig Ferguson however he has not asked for money or anything he lives in Alabama and works for CB&I we have face timed a few occasions and he said that his photos where stolen but a few he sent me did not show up on tin eye so not sure if they are photo shopped or not and he has two kids Karen and Craig junior I confronted him after 2 months and he trying to make me believe he is legit lol . He uses the word fruitful all the time in conversation .
You know you are not talking with Dr. Gomez, right? And never have been. You are talking with a West African who stole his photos.
I do realize that I have been talking to a fake yes. I do not talk with him anymore at all . I just don’t want others to b e fooled by him at all. They are getting better and better at pic’s not showing up on web. I am always here if anyone wants any information. I have a cell number which it is from Texas apparently when I do number reversal. Put all my stuff to private now.
:)
It is not a “him” Scammers work in large organizations – teams of just a few up to thousands. There are over one billion fake identities. Our advice is to focus on your own emotional recovery first.
He gave me an address in New York to send a present to how do I give you that address would be interesting to know if it is real or a present for one of his victims.
If you live in the U.S. you should communicate first with the FBIFBI FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States and its principal federal law enforcement agency. Operating under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice, the FBI is also a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. A leading U.S. counter-terrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, the FBI has jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes, including financial fraud. and let them know that the NY address is probably a Parcel MuleMule A money mule sometimes called a "smurfer," is a person who transfers money acquired illegally (e.g., stolen) in person, through a courier service, or electronically, on behalf of others (usually criminals that they are knowingly or unknowingly affiliated). 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.. Then you can also report it on our Full Report.
