Description

Love scam thru FB group, Widowed Connect. First greeted on this FB page, the went to FB Messenger for 3 days. Then asked to upload and use WhatsApp from end of August thru September. This man LOVED me, courted me with romantic energy, songs, poems, text messages and video calls. The video calls would start off with a quick view of his face, then camera would cut out. Also claimed hotel had poor WiFi connection to avoid contact for lengths of time. Probably to figure out what to do next, when I confronted him. Went by the name of Mark Shane aka Mark Shane McCarthy. Sent me false documents (see attached), pictures. The pictures belong to a different person, that I ID’d on www.claritycheck.com. I have multiple docs to provide, besides one picture. This “Mark” person conned me out of $500.00 in Microsoft gift card value. Wanted $3K. Claims he was working for ES Denver on a fuel pipeline in Burnaby, BC, Canada, for China Oil Services as a Project Ops Mgr - ALL confirmed FALSE with various resources.
