FAQ: How Do You Properly Report Scammers?
It is essential that law enforcement knows about scams & scammers, even though there is nothing (in most cases) that they can do.
Always report scams involving money lost or where you received money to:
- Local Police – ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance
- Your National Police or FBI (www.IC3.gov)
- The Scars Worldwide Reporting Network HERE or on www.Anyscam.com
This helps your government understand the problem, and allows law enforcement to add scammers on watch lists worldwide.

I think this person is now going by Kim Sung-Jae and is claiming to be a part of the Korean airforce coalition in Al-Tanf Syria. Claims to be widowed 8years ago (wife had leukemia). Has a son that is attending boarding school in UK. VERY over the top with romantic messaging. Has not asked me for money in two weeks of talking. I nearly fell in love with this fool.
This man continues. He contacted me on TiKTok and is going by Hamilton Godfrey. Using some same and newer pictures of Major General O’Conner. He is currently claiming his wife Ginny died in a car accident now using pictures of Major General O’Conner’s wife. He says he’s on a peace keeping mission in Syria and his son Mathew (spelled with one T) is in military school in the UK. Do not be fooled. He is very smooth. Claiming to be a man of God.
Simply block him and stop talking to strangers. You have to take control of the situation.
Have same man on tiktok once
Same bullshit are married or single doing have children same crap
Lovely face
Someone from a dating site named Mark O’Connor with the same pictires as General O’Connor. Claimed to be a military in Libya. An only child and both parents are a victim of Sept 11 bombing incident namely Grace and Eric Brian O’Connor. But when I searched the parents’ name of the Sept 11 victims I didn’t found those names. That’s when I started to doubt and finally searched his name Mark O’Connor and found John O’Connor’s photos with the same that he sent to me. Glad I was able to search his name in google and found this scammers alert. Thanks for this
We are very happy that you were able to take control of this scam and escape without losing money. But avoid dating websites, they are full of scammers. If you want to meet real people keep your feet on the ground, Volunteer someplace where you can meet people, get out of the house and off the Internet.
I’ve got one trying to add me as a friend on Facebook. Using Daniel O’Connor- other name Chimma Uwaomma. Same photos but a general in Syria. Told him to do one
Report the fake profile to Facebook as a “Fake Name”
I get several request a week from supposed military personall. I would like to research them before I hit delete. I don’t want to befriend anyone who is not legit. All the men in my family were in the military and I know how haard it is for them to be away from their families.
You should not be friending any of them – almost all stranger contact requests are going to be scammers on Facebook and Instagram
I received most of the above pics, plus some others from a Lieut. Gen. William Christopher Porter. He told me he was stationed in Iraq, but because of the Afghanistan fiasco going on right now, had to go to Kunzut (sp?) Afghanistan. He said he was on a peacekeeping mission and had to stay there for 2 months. He said he would be retiring in May, 2022 after 32 yrs. Says he is widowed and has a 17 yr. old son, Kelvin, who lives in London. Says he is from Morgantown, WVA and is 65 yrs. old. He never asked me for money, although he did ask me to buy these “steam cards” for him. Told him I hadn’t heard of them, but if he would send me $100, I would try to find them. That was the end of that. There wasn’t ever any profanity or sexual innuendo from him. But he wouldn’t ever do FaceTime- said he couldn’t. We communicated on WhatsApp. His profile is on Facebook.
Good that you did not send any money! Just report him on http://www.Anyscam.com and block him. In the future, anyone that contacts you is going to be a scammer also!

Pozdrav! Na žalost , zlikovci se još uvijek predstavljaju likom Generala bojnika J.R O’Connora pod imenom David Wumbei.Aktivnost mu je u aplikaciji Massanger . Mene nije uspio prevariti! Uglavnom vrši iznudu novca!
This man said the hiš name is Kelly lee, have son and douhter, l was contact with him for month, he asked money of me, l was send jim gif card for 300 e. I was stupied!
Great site. Anyone heard from a guy names John Burr from Ohio?
A guy named Jackson Roberto contacted me on tic tock and had this pictures on his profile. He was very kind and told me he was working for the Peace force in Syria for the UN. He said he was divorced and had a 17 years old son. He asked me to keep in touch through Hangout app cause it was the one they allowed him to use over there through his mail.
He knew from the begining that i am married so our conversations were friendly. But he told me that i was his only friend and he needed someone to receive a box with the money he had invested in a company that was going on bankruptcy and he wasn’t able to get it cause he was still overseas. All my internal alarms alerted me and I decided to google him and his story and found out he was impersonating somebody else and that other people were asked to pay some fees to receive the same box he told me. So I stopped all contact with him and now I am here to warn others.
Am glad something is being done about our Military being used this way. Gen. AUSTIN Miller is used also, was on 2 wks. ago. Then will be gone and back in 2 more. Beware ladies. Than you
Major Gen. Bruce Oconner started texting me yesterday . I realized by this broken english and the way he speaks that he was no General . Im so sorry for the people who have been taken advantage by these scammers and for The Actual Major Gen .
I don’t believe it! I received one of these same pictures of General John O’Connor, plus another pic not in this list, from a guy who added himself to my Google Hangouts under the name of Michael Bruce O’Connor. And he claimed to be a sergeant in the Army and serving over in Iraq. He was trying to romance me during our Google Hangouts conversation earlier tonight. Now, it’s no surprise why he was moving so fast. I had a suspicious feeling. I am glad I looked him up. Thank you for this site. This is extremely helpful.
You are very welcome, glad we could help!
Hello do you know the real John Jack Roland O’Connor.. Do you know if he is in Syria or not. Do you know if he has a son by the name of Adam.. And that he lives in Tennessee..
Sorry Ruby but you are being scammed. The scammer is using a made-up name and stolen photos.

What are you asking? If he is a scammer? Of course he is!

The same pictures as John O’ Connor and he signed agreement to pay back. my money. I reported to FBI and he blocked Google hangout.
This General JoyR O,Connor Foes by William Connor that lives ontop of this Mt Whitney California owns a Business name Connors Empire constructions corporation. Getting ready to take a business trip flight to Ghana by taking this flight called Aircanada flight 7505 from California to Ghana Africa so I called the airlines up to confirm the flight I was shocked for what I found out it was all lies lies lies. He goes under the supposed Birthdate 12-16-1964. He has a 15 old daughter name Jane Connors Birthdate May 10. He can’t keep straight so I used reverse psychology on this person. I am getting ready to report this Ass whole to the proper authorities please people don’t fall into his shithead scam.
He is a scammer.
He’s still active on Instagram under Matthew Conner col in the US army stationed in Afghanistan widowerwith a 17 yr old son. Soon to retire to his home Houston Tx. He started chat and insisted on moving to google hangouts I think they have no blocking/reporting so it’s a favored chat place. He was sending red flags every time we talked… vagueness, poor grammar, not quite up to cultural references that a 45-50 yr old should get. And very rapid escalation of relationship type conversation. Then asked for $50 for his internet bill. Searched him here. And reported him to Instagram. His page is still up currently
I received the same pictures and he said his name is Mayor General Ronald O’Connor in Iraq. I have scammed and sent money to him and his son Peter Muler under care taker Thomas Owusu in Accra, Ghana. He said his money was hacked in US and needed money to pay hospital bills for his son and some birthday gift. Also needed money when he was in hospital in Ghana

I feel so bad for this General who name and photos are being used to scam women out of money. Disgusting. After one hour messaging him, I realized it was a scam. His words were too poetic and over the top. Instantly I was babe, sweetheart, dear. RED FLAG. I told him i was reporting him and of course he no longer had a profile. I will be posting a public post on FACEBOOK to warn other women who might not catch on so quickly
Connor was his nickname. I too fell in love with his words. started as ” cisnero wisely” then “lius ryan” scam scam scam. He plays with your heart and i truly thought he cared….
Excuse my misspelled words
I wasn’t scammed though he wanted me to purchase a iTunes card of $100 for his son that went buy Patrick. I refused him then he said I was rude. I lol him cause I said I’m hispanic it’s in my nature to be rude. He continued to tx me on hangout a app I never new of. I did send him pic of my self but that was it. Who ever it is doing this woman or man well their charming. Revered to me as babe & like all the other woman he fell in love w me after 2-3 tx. Said he was a general on a special mission in Kabul Afghanistan, had been there for 1 1:2. He was just doing 2 yrs this time around. The stories are some what alike. He said he was raised in Florida but his parents were from England . He was mostly in boarding school cause his parents we chasing there dreams. Spent most of his life w his grandfather.. his wife had died 2 yrs of this date may 15th 2018, of cancer. Was evasive of his type of wk. I ?? Everything & challenged everything he said it’s just my nature. But as for the last 3 days I haven’t hesrd from him other than one tx did I get the iTunes card. I called him out on this scam so he hasn’t tx back . Ppl are sad. Sorry for all you fallen women & best of luck to the future ones. I thank god for a smart niece that googled this name.
Scamming does not require money, scamming involves deceit only.
He has been talking to me. Told me he was in Afghanistan, been there for 6 years. What kind of scam does he or whoever pull.
Evbota Lauretta Efe has been using his photos under the alias of George O’Connor, on Facebook. She lives in Benin City, Nigeria, 30010. Her phone number is 234-996-409-4553. She fooled me for about 5 minutes. I’ve asked Facebook to block her postings.
I feel for the gentleman who’s identity has been stolen.
I wasn’t as smart as some of you. I talked to him for two months. For me he was James O’Connor. One week before he was to retire and come see me he asked for $3450.00 so he could turn in some stocks and buy a house when he gets here, I thank God I never sent him any money. He said he had a 9 year old daughter in Ghana and she was going to live with her caregivers so he could concentrate on a life with me. He was a real smooth talker and knew just what to say. He said he was a Warrant Officer in the Army stationed in Afghanistan. Good luck ladies, I wish someone could catch these guys!
So, It was actually a female? You couldnt see the person?

I have just ended his scam today, February 20, 2018. He is going by Gary O’Connor using The Pics and background information he found on line for John R. O’Connor. Even sent me a passport. Claims he has a wife who died in car accident and a 12 year old son named Peter. Wanted to move in with me after just 6 hours of e-mailing. Very smooth talker.

Ich moechte mit dem wahren Jack O’ Connor in Kontakt kommen.
Bitte helfen Sie mir.
Danke.
We are sorry that you are a scam victim, but No we will not help you contact the real General. He is a victim of impersonation – he already knows this is happening, and you need to leave him alone. He does not want to talk to scam victims. He already has thousands of women invading his privacy. Do not try to contact the real person in the photos.
Er kontaktierte mich über Facebook.
Mit dem Namen Williams Scott
Aber sein richtiger Name waere John ( Jack ) O ‘ Connor.
Er sei aus Tampa.
Hat einen Sohn mit dem Namen Ryan.
Studiere an der Militärakademie.
Und eine Tochter mit dem Namen Meryl.
Jack waere im Namen der amerikanischen Regierung in Syrien auf einer friedenserhaltenden Mission.
Seit 6 Jahren.
Seine Frau haette Ihn mit einem anderen Mann betrogen.
Und er suche die wahre Liebe.
Er schreibt seit Maerz 2021 bis dato.
Könnten Sie bitte einen Kontakt herstellen?
Vielen Dank im voraus.
Now, we cannot put you in contact with the real person in the photos. The story you were told is all lies. The real person had his photos stolen and used by a team of scammers – probably in West Africa. He already knows they are using his photos. It is important to remember that he is a victim too. Please do not try to contact him.
Everything you were told by the scammers was a lie. None of it was real. Please go to our home page and read our 3 Steps Guide for New Scam Victims so that you can begin the process of recovery.
What you need to learn is all here on our website.
We wish you all the best.
Yes I’ve been in contact with him for a year on what’s app. Now his name is Daniel O’Connor. I’m not sure if this is his real name or not. Says he’s a major commander Army. He says he is in Tamalie, Gahana. He seemed very honest I’ve sent him money for plain ticket,medical . He sent me a bunch of pictures.
No honey he’s a scammer like the others he’s been talking to my friend for 2 years.
I received a request at my IG from a “willow Daniel “, his story was more or less the same: us soldier from Louisiana on a peace mission in Siria, widow with a son called Barry. 48 h later he was asking for money for his son, apparently he had no access to his money in Siria. I blocked him a reported him . I also tracked the name Daniel willow on Facebook and found a black guy from Africa. I assume that’s the scammer.
I feel very sorry for the real John O’Connor, for being used by these dumbasses and all the women out there that really believe that kind of stories
You’re being scammed. He is fake. Please don’t send him anymore money.
I was in contact with him by the name of General Michael O’Connor. He Has a diplomat that handles his business and personal requests. My lesson was unlike others. In our three month relationship on Google hang outs, with scheduled conversations convenient to our schedules we chatted up a storm. He captured my heart with his understanding, poetic words and true concern for me and my family. He earned my trust by writing scriptures in the bible to whatever issue i brought to the table. We romantically made love over the internet with our words and passion and hunger to be with one another. I have to say this was exactly what I needed in my life right now. He coached me into moving from one job to my new one that I love. He coached me to write again. He comforted me through the grieving of my son that passed four years ago. He connected me to my heart to know what makes it sing. I was excited and new this was truly sent from heaven. My heart was exploding. I am in love with him. His character. He opened up a whole new world to me. a world I thought was lost. He had me feeling emotions that I thought died when I buried my son. I learned to open up and love again. Then His requests started, I explained I could not afford it. He still maintained an online relationship with me. Then he asked for lesser amounts and material items like a cellphone. Again, I did not fulfill his requests. My revelation came when at the time of his requests and research brought me to this site. I suspected and began my research, and here was his picture. My heart sank. I didn’t want it to end. I played the songs he sent me, read the poetry he sent me. So confused because my heart felt it was real. I confronted him, he denied it. Of course had an excuse it was his ex girlfriend who set him up. My heart wanted to believe him. So I fired my heart and used my head. I have not heard from him since I confronted him. Do I peek to see if I do? of course i do. will i converse with him again? probably not. Am I sad? yes. Am I disappointed? yes. Am i depressed? no. Am I angry? no. He gave me so much to look forward to. I recognize that If i could fall in love with him, then I know he paved the way for me to find the real deal. I wish it was real because it would have been the greatest love story ever told. He may have started out scamming me, but I have so much love to look forward to, and I will never let that go. I hope this helps anyone who reads this. I hope you can hold on the the good and move forward. I was new to this and i can say lesson well learned. I still get these scammers emailing me. But now I am educated and block them then report them. I don’t regret my online scammer. He was the best thing that happened to me in a long time. Not that I want to encourage this, because maybe my scammer was new and had a heart or maybe he was exactly like he said he was, done with this life and getting ready to retire. I hope they all retire soon. I do know one thing, Knowledge is power. Now I know. Thank you for educating me for free, because i could not have afforded costs otherwise. It’s too bad that every new on line dater does not have to go through training first. lol.
I just got a request from him but I blocked him
This man was also or is also going by Folly O’Connor. Claims to be serving in Iraq.
I think that this is a Good site
THANK YOU. IT IS THE WORK OF A LARGE TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS THAT STARTED 26 YEARS AGO.
Zur Zeit ist dieser Betrüger auf Facebook unter dem Namen Lucas Connor aktiv.
Mit mir hat er es auch versucht.
Habe leider erst nach 3 Tagen eine Bildersuche gestartet, nachdem einige seiner Aussagen widersprüchlich waren. Er hatte mich gebeten von messenger auf whatsapp zu wechseln,. Ich habe dies leider auch getan und ein Foto gesendet. Ich habe ihn auf Facebook und whatsapp blockiert.
