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.

One of the newest scammers uses the pictures of Captain Thomas Marsden and goes by the name of Mike Edward. He was on Instagram. I reported him and his account was disabled. I agree that he has a split personality, but I believe he has several people working with him.

I really feel devastated I deposited 90,000 Mexican pesos to Thomas I thought he was real and I believed in his story that the pirates had taken everything from him now I just have to wait for the authorities to do something.
I lost all my savings and I will never be able to recover

[COMMENT REDACTED DUE TO HATE CONTENT]
My case for this Thomas scam issue is different. A person is using photos of Thomas to win my heart and now he is trying to lure me with his money. I don’t know what is in it or why he is giving me his log-in bank account credentials and asking me the favor to make an online transaction because his internet connection is bad. I was able to open his online bank account and do the transaction. He never yet asks for money from me but he is showing me how rich he is I know he is one of the scammers considering he always had so many reasons not to show himself on cam. Careful careful
He wants you to become a money mule – an accomplice in money laundering. Stop all contact, block him – do not alert him that you know, and report this to your local police.
I WAS SCAMMED OUT OD $26,000 THOMAS LINDEGAAR MADSEN. I HAVE WITH HIM OVER A YEAR AND EVERYTIME HE TOLD ME SOMETHING IT WAS A LIE. HE SAYS HE IS COMING TO CANADA ON JULY 20TH 2022 AND WE ARE TO BE MARRIED AND HE IS BUYING A HOUSE AND CARS FOR US. I COULD WRITE A BOOK ON HIS BEHAVIOUR , BELIEVE ME PICTURES AND ALL.
LADIES DO NOT BEFRIEND HIM HE HAS APPROX 200 GMAIL ACCTS AND MORE THAN THAT IN NAMES.
Andrea, we are sorry this happened to you. However, it was not Captain Madsen. It was cybercriminals who stole his photos.

Hello there I have seen you on a couple of sites and your comments. I would like to know what you mean about befriending him? Because I have not only been scammed by him and his new partner, but I mean my entire existence! I know he has a terrible frightening split personality. His real son told me that. [EDITED FOR POLICY VIOLATION] Son is Erick and overseas for two yrs now.told me about wife and fiancé was Sonia? Every other word or sentence different. Much more complex.
Barbara, it is good that you recognize it was a scam. But everything you were told by fake family members was a lie too! You have to accept that and stop talking to strangers. We offer free support & recovery services – you can apply at https://support.AgainstScams.org
[REDACTED FOR FOR GENDER BASHING LANGUAGE]
We do not tolerate hate in any form.
Clearly you are being scammed, but you are not talking with Captain Madsen – you have been in contact with a gang of scammers. Please visit http://www.ScamVictimsSupport.org to understand the basics.
yes, tis Thomas also send me pic and told me he like me. and he want a filipina to be his new wife. hahaha well filipina is smart they can’t fool me. Do you think thomas will like me a simple fat woman. and he said he is in a bitcoin business and i said i don’t know that. i know its a scam so i don’t believe in a lie. he ask me too what is my work and i said a house maid but i’m a license teacher here in the philippines. and i research hahaha thank God.
We are very happy that you did not lose any money to that “Pig Butchering” scam. Stay safe!
That guy Thomas told me he was a captain of a ship he had been hijacked by pirates took his money wanted to send me paperwork and a parcel
Well, it was a scam. You understand that correct? Please read our 3 Steps Guide for New Victims here: https://romancescamsnow.com/for-new-scam-victims/
I got the best story of ever, it happen to me but i in my case, the person said he was really in love with me… he said he worked on an oil station in Germany, I felt a lot of pity for this person since his country of African origin is very poor… which does not excuse absolutely nothing though …..it was a consolation prize for me falling head over heels in love with Captain Austine Thomas who found me on tiktok by the way my story doesn’t end as badly as others but i wanted to make it happen…and i’d rather pay for unicef than pay for the lack of honesty
I too was somewhat a victim to this romance scam. The guy who attempting to pursue me used these very photos and the name THERRI LEONARDO. Thankful I was smart enough to research him extensively, before I was dragged in further. But damn….he was good! I never sent money or anything of value. And reported the fake profiles to FACEBOOK, TWITTER and LINKEDIN. ALL SHOULD DO SAME. That’s a shame that someone tried to use this guys photos to advance his nefarious actions. SHME ON THEM! However, we must ALL BE SMARTER and RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!!
Thank you for your great comment Sandy!
Yes, research is the key, but research alone is not enough. You have to both learn and change your behavior to prevent them.
I understand I was talking to this profile on Instagram gram he is going by tshaw86382019 or Shaw Thomas on hangouts we were just talk but he didn’t scam cause I did a reverse look up and came across this picture of the captain he was talking crazy and I told him that he was catfishing I want everybody to know what he is doing to people.

tHE CAPITAN THOMAS IS INOCENT.

DAVID BALWIND IS SCAMMER AND USE THE PHOTOS FROM HIS EX PHARNER THOMAS

You are being scammed into believing just a different story. Scammers lie, and believing their stories only make you a victim. You have to stop talking with your scammer and stop believing what they tell you.
