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:

  1. Local Police – ask them to take an “informational” police report – say you need it for your insurance
  2. Your National Police or FBI (www.IC3.gov)
  3. 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.

    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 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.

      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.

    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.

        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

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

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.

    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!

    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.

        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.

        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.

      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

    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.

        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.

A Note About Labeling!

We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!

A Question of Trust

At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.

Statement About Victim Blaming

Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.

These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.

Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
