Never Chase Your Money To Africa
A SCARS Victims’ Advisory
A SCARS Victims’ Advisory
Never Go To Visit Someone You Only Met Online!
You Might Go In A Suitcase and Come Back In A Casket!
If you are going to meet someone, have them come to you! Always – it is much safer to be on your home ground in case something goes wrong!
More Important However …
NEVER TRY TO GO AFTER YOUR MONEY
ODDS ARE VERY HIGH YOU WILL NOT COME BACK
Many victims think that they can go to West Africa (or wherever) to recover their money. This is just another case of Magical Thinking on top of other bad decisions.
STOP – after a scam, stop trying to rush around and fix everything. In most cases, it is too late. Making decisions in this state will only create more bad judgments.
The fact is that the number of “tourist” deaths in these countries are some of the highest in the world. Local police have no incentive to keep you safe, and corruption means that is easy for the police to be part of the risk.
Who Do You Think Scammers Are?
Astoundingly, most victims believe that scammers are lazy shiftless individuals.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Regardless of what you see in photos, scammers are mostly part of gangs or larger organizations (cartels).
These gangs can have a handful of members or thousands. These are truly organized criminals with the police (many times) in their pockets. Worse still is that at least 30% are actively financing and supporting ISIS or Al Qaeda Terrorists. Do you think you are really ready to face these criminals on their home territory?
THIS IS WHO YOU ARE GOING TO CONFRONT!
Here is a map of the most dangerous places on Earth for foreign travelers. So ask yourself: You made an impulsive decision once, are you doing it again?
Very likely you are.
Your Money Is Not Worth Your Life!
Let law enforcement do their job. You may not like it or have confidence in it, but you are not a super crime fighter – you are a victim!
Remember, that this is also true for most of the world. Criminals know their territory and they can operate easily. If you show up chasing a criminal, regardless of the country, you are placing your life at real risk!
Stay home and stay safe!

When confronted that he is a scammer will say that his identity was stolen and used previously and he is not the scammer! Why can’t these guys be prosecuted one asks. His new email address is whitedove1012@gmail.com Latest development would like you to buy him a cologne that you think would be nice for him, you’d perfume so that he knows what you smell like and an Xbox for Lilian as he couldn’t get it before he went to Sardinia and it’s her birthday on the 13rh August but will pay you back as soon as he’s back from his trip!!
Good Afternoon, I would like to warn women about a so called David Lopez-Halfpenny whom claims he from hull and has fooled me into believing his wife and daughter died in a tragic car accident,He claims to be raising a grandchild called Lillian aged 8 and lives in Hull supposedly?? He has an office in Leeds and claims to opening a jewellers in London, He claimed to have gone to Sardinia to bring gold bars back (what a joke) He asked for £300 and then 1k …..No way was I going to give him money when not even met!!!!! BE wary ladies he is a scammer
Also goes by the name whitedove@gmail.com
The way to do that is use our report forms not put it in a comment that won’t be seen.
can you find the real person through the email and phone number they are using to scam people and if so are they prosecuted?
