I just ask him this amount legal or illegal. But im still confuse. I need to you guys recommended or advise. You can't use an iTunes card to go online. The iTunes card is used only to buy music, apps or books. The story about finding gold bars is not true. The online warning says soldiers do not find large sums of money and do not need your help to get that money out of the country. Scammers tell people they found money, because they want people to pay to receive the "shipment" of money or gold.
But there is really no shipment of money or gold. If you pay the taxes, fees or import duties to receive the "shipment," you will lose money. They use iTunes to subscribe to services like SmartLine Second Phone Number to create more local numbers to trick other people and pretending they are from that state. Let me tell you I did some real sleuthing and got to the bottom of it. He is now blocked. He is currently in Madrid and wants A friend of mine got tricked by someone claiming to be Sullivan.
He claimed to be a US soldier based in Syria who won the battle against ISIS and the president of Syria gave his team a lump sum of money and a bar of gold. He claimed he sent the package to her to keep for him. The tracking number from Planet Logistics worked well until it hot to a state close to where my friend lives. She was asked to send money to help clear the package and she did.
Anyway it will only be a matter of time before the FBI catches up with those evil scammers. God is alive he is not sleeping. Hi Daisy, I am sorry about your friend but I need to say that my friend was tricked by this same guy. This Nigerian is very slick. He actually has my friend believing he loves her and sadly she now has feelings for him. His initial profile on Instigram is Anthony Sullivan, a decorated soldier Stolen Valor and he approached her with that profile until finally getting her on a video chat in which he showed him self to be Nigerian.
He says he goes by the name 'Pride' and that he told her that he has scammed people in the past and is reformed and gave her some sob story about him losing his mom.
He claims he is coming here to Phoenix to be with her in March and is totally playing with her heart strings. It is just sickening. No matter how much I try to explain things to her she is just caught up in his web. This man is sick and calls her many times daily. I wish there was a way someone could catch up to him and make him stop his scamming of women.
He has multiple phone numbers but the one I was able to get from her was The Instagram profile he uses is anthonysull48 and he talks to women using an app called 'Whatsapp'. I wish the real soldier shown in his Instagram profile could be found. I tried to get on her phone with him and he just hangs up because he knows im not going to fall for his nonsense.
I feel so sorry for my friend and all women this Nigerian man is manipulating and wish there was something that can be done to stop him. Scamming people out of money is a horrible thing but a woman's heart is not something to play with. I hope someone can stop him.
