Romance - Sniffies / Dating Ap/ Contact

I was contacted by someone I thought was a very attractive man on Sniffies. We talked for a little bit, and he offered to be my Sugar Daddy. I tentatively accepted the offer. And he provided me with bank account information that I could use to pay off my credit card debt. I used the banking information to pay off my debt. And then, a couple days later when the payment went through, the scammer contacted me requesting that I urgently use my credit card money to purchase him a $250 apple card. I realized then that it was a scam and blocked him on WhatsApp. He contacted me again through a different number: 762-688-1992 and started making threats that I would rot in Jail.

Pig butchering scam Someone posed as an attractive online influencer (some blonde fisher in a bikini) with an instagram and youtube presence via facebook (probably found via fan page). Had an account made under the person's name that started around the same time as the initial contact. Contact eventually moved off of Facebook and onto WhatsApp. Received three separate payments of varying amounts via gift cards purchased at Wal-Mart. Said they were going to come live with my father only to get into a tragic accident that prevented travel. After being blocked on Whatsapp, "borrowed" a nurse's phone to resume contact.

She "Olivia" claimed to be the daughter of Arte Oro and said she launched her own high-end jewelry company in Los Angeles in 2017, after raising funds with her aunt in New York. Despite presenting the business as a luxury brand, it appeared to have little actual commercial activity. Our interaction began with a “wrong number” text, but she quickly transitioned into casual conversation and suggested continuing on WhatsApp. She immediately sent a photo of herself and began narrating her day in detail. Her messaging followed a familiar pattern—describing a lavish lifestyle, frequenting Beverly Hills golf courses, and referencing an assistant who worked for her. She mentioned having few friends and often tried to steer the conversation toward investing and gold, though I consistently deflected by expressing disinterest in money. It became clear she was attempting a scam, though I found the exchange oddly entertaining. She didn’t seem to recall that she had tried a similar approach with me months earlier. I requested a video call, which she eventually agreed to, though her responses during the call were vague and evasive. While I couldn’t confirm if she was using AI, the visuals matched the photos and office she had previously shared. The next day, she told a story about playing 18 holes at Beverly Hills with her assistant and sent photos, including one of her golf swing. She also claimed to have had lunch with friends at American Harvest restaurant near the course and sent a snapshot as proof. Her descriptions felt AI-generated—polished but impersonal. Later, she said she planned to go to Manhattan Beach with friends, but her assistant canceled. She then opened up more about her personal life, including her ex-husband and her journey to independence. Despite continuing to push investment topics, I didn’t engage. Eventually, her tone shifted—she became combative and began criticizing my job, seemingly out of frustration that her efforts weren’t working. The conversation originally began with a “wrong number” text on day one, but she quickly suggested continuing on WhatsApp. I shared the number she claimed belonged to her assistant, though she also used another number—(213) 827-5865—which closely resembles those associated with known scams. If you find her, give her an Oscar. Her (Olivia) story should be sold as a Netflix Special.

Romance - Facebook group, Widowed Connect

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.

I am filing a complaint against a network of online dating websites operated by three companies, all using the same deceptive practices. These sites are not designed for real relationships but to extract as much money as possible through a credit-based system, fake profiles, and refusal to honor account deletion requests. The Companies and Their Sites KristalDigital OÜ (Estonia, Reg. 16742040) – nikadate.com, amorpulse.com Astrasoft Projects Ltd (Cyprus, Reg. HE 409810) – sofiadate.com, myspecialdates.com, amourmeet.com (with Lumintix Solutions Limited, UK, as “agent”) Sempiterna Digital Limited (Cyprus, Reg. HE 440404) – okamour.com, avodate.com, datempire.com, latidate.com How the Scheme Works Credit-based communication: Every letter, photo, or video costs credits, keeping users paying constantly.Fake or controlled profiles: Women are site personnel or operators, not genuine members. The same “inventory” of profiles is reused across sites. Recycled content: Messages, photos, and videos are repeated to create an illusion of authenticity. False promises of love: Operators use emotional manipulation to keep men engaged and spending. My Personal Experience I joined these sites hoping to meet someone real. At first the messages seemed genuine, but I soon noticed recycled letters, repeated compliments, and identical media across different sites. The same women’s profiles appeared on multiple platforms but did not recognize me unless I pointed it out. What felt like genuine affection turned out to be scripted manipulation. The emotional toll of realizing “lies of love” were just bait was significant. Account Deletion Refusal When I requested account deletion, Okamour.com agreed to remove my account within 7 days. Eight days later, my account was still active. I even asked women on the site to report me in as a criminal and stalker in violations of TOS trying to force deletion, They refused! This shows the company deliberately refuses to honor deletion requests, keeping accounts as “inventory.” I believe it also shows the site isnt being run by independant women looking for a relationship. If they are really "women" in some correspondances the so called "women" say things that a "man" would clearly say to a "woman". This is deceptive and violates consumer rights and data protection principles. The Toll on Consumers Emotional harm: Loss of trust, heartbreak, and manipulation. Financial harm: Money spent on credits under false pretenses, with no fair value. Consumer risk: Privacy and data misuse, since accounts are retained even when deletion is demanded. What I Am Asking For I am not requesting a refund, though the money was obtained under fraudulent means. I only ask for: Permanent deletion of my accounts and personal data. Written confirmation that my data is erased and will not be used, stored, or shared. A full investigation into this network of sites and companies, as countless other consumers are likely being exploited. Closing This is a deliberate pattern of unfair and deceptive practices. These companies lure consumers with false romance, exploit emotions for spending, recycle fake profiles across sites, and refuse even basic deletion requests. I am willing to cooperate fully with authorized authorities and share account access or detailed evidence directly. There is far more proof available than a single screenshot can show. Consumers deserve protection from this exploitation, and I urge regulators to take action.

Cristina requested money through CashApp, ApplePay and other means numerous times with agreement to pay the money back in short term. Multiple times she sent wire transfers that bounced due to insufficient funds. She also gave me reloadable gift cards as repayment that were supposed to have sums of $5,000 each but each had less than $5 on them. She also schemed to gain my trust by saying she was going to buy me a car for my birthday. The dealer attempted to process a wire transfer for the vehicle multiple times and the transfer failed because of insufficient funds. She also added me to her account at PNC bank and had me write a check for payment of the vehicle. The check bounced and resulted in the dealership filing a wire fraud investigation with Detective Duquet phone# 770-640-4312 of the Roswell Police department. Cristina also directed to write a check and deposit into my Wells Fargo account as repayment which also bounced and caused a fraud investigation with Wells Fargo which almost resulted in my account being permanently closed. Upon further investigation of public state court filings I found that Cristina’s real name was Deondre Christopher Myers which was not legally changed until 2024, months after we had initially met. These filings also show a documented criminal history including fraud. Cristina used manipulation and the facade of being a business owner to gain my trust and abscond with $30,000, falsely presenting the ability to pay the money back.

A person named Haixin Liu approached me via email claiming to be a fellow alumni and wants to connect, subsequently connected to me using her WeChat accounts (two of them). After two weeks of chat she has gained my trust, she eventually switched to WhatsApp for the main communication channel . She casually mentions that her job is involved with a customer Bullish (a legit crypto platform), who is hugely successful. A few days later she mentioned that she will start a prolonged business trip to Seattle for a month to help Bullish with backend database maintenance, as part of her job. Next day she mentioned that she discovered a secret from Bullish database that she can see a large volume trader always gains on each trade, and tells me she plans to setup an account for herself and follows the trade to earn money. Then she started her first trade and showed me he had 10% gain in 10 minutes. Next day she showed off another successful trade and recommend that I join as well, mentioned website www.bullishps.com (turns out to be a scam website that has similar name and icons as Bullish). After a few days since she showed her successful trades every day, she convinced me to set up and account at the scam website. A week later she convinced me to deposit $2000 into the account and follows her directions for a trade, it was a perpetual contract trade, I "earned" about $150. Next day she convinced me to add another $20,000, I did and followed her directions to trade and appeared to earned money on the website. A few days later she mentioned there's a promotion for fee refund if you top up at least $300,000. She said she has topped up and received refunds. The "promotion" is sent to everyone in the website. After that she tries to convince me to participate the promotion, after I said I don't have that much money, she said she can help, she expressed affection and said that this money is for a promised future romance. I had a brief relationship issue at the time and this seemed enticing so I agreed. Next day I added $60,000, she send me the other $240,000 to qualify for promotion. Several days later I overheard of stories of crypto scam and realized I might be a victim of the same. Tried withdraw $10,000 as a test, but was denied by the website with the reason that the account is flagged with frequent short term high leverage trading, and subject to tax withholding before releasing the fund. Chatting with customer support and realized that it is a scam website. they ask me to pay for the tax withholding with new funds into the same account. Since this is such a ridiculous proposal, I realized that I'm a victim, but did not realize that Haixin Liu was part of the team, I thought she was a victim too. I alerted her and she said this is normal and she offered to give me about 80% of the tax money needed but need me to add the remaining 20%, about $30,000. By now I realized that she's part of the team and denied her involvement.

In March 2025, I started talking to a man known as --- on Plenty of Fish Dating site. We eventually moved to WhatsApp, and then Google Chat. He told me his name was --- from Wisconsin. At the end of April, he finally convinced me to give him money. I made 6 transactions, between April 17, 2025 and May 2, 2025. I continued talking with him even after I found out he was a scammer. I did this in hopes of getting some of my money back. On Sept, 7, 2025, I ran a photo on claritycheck.com that he had posted for me on Google Chat. This photo showed that the man was actually *** of The Netherlands. I made contact with *** on his X profile. I posted things that he (acting as ---) would understand. *** eventually blocked me from posting on his X page. Last night, I learned that *** actually has also been victimized by this online scam, as his photos were the ones that the scammer sent to me in our Google Chat. I then went to *** X profile and deleted all of the posts I had made, as I realized that he was not the person who had been communicating with me in Google Chat. I also contacted PayPal and asked them to investigate the 3 PayPal addresses that I had sent money to as money mules. I have screenshots of many Google Chat conversations and can provide other information if needed. Thank you.

We connected as friends on LinkedIn and chatted for a few days before moving the conversation to WhatsApp because we found that we both have common interests. His name is Daniel Phang, on DL is WeiDan Phang. From there, we talked about stock trading, and he offered to help me invest in cryptocurrency that guaranteed a great return because Trump approved it. We started with $1,000 and eventually added more, and now the account is over $500,000. He recently learned about my HELOC and asked that I also invest in it. I was suspicious of him, but he would say that we need to trust each other. We talked on the phone and had video conferences; he even sent me his driver’s license. I believe this is a scam because we were supposed to meet F2F, and he said that his daughter had an accident at NYU and that he had to be there; therefore, he canceled our meeting. However, while caring for his daughter, he still insisted that I wire funds from my HELOC, as a significant trade was scheduled to take place at the end of September. I continued to search and, finally, conducted a reverse image search, where I discovered that this scammer was using someone else’s profile—even including pictures of his family, mother, and nephews. The scammer is using someone's pictures on Instagram. I suspect that this person could be the scammer himself because we had video conferences, and I recognize his lips and eyes. Each time I refused to transfer the money, he would refuse to chat with me, saying there was no point because there was no trust between us. He promised that we could build a house together and that he would not betray me since we were both cheated on… and that God had a plan for us to be together since we both have many things in common. We were trading options using Semexbitny.com as the platform. He guided me through wire transfers to move my money to Coinbase Inc., then buying cryptocurrency on Coinbase Inc., and transferring that amount to my Trust or OnChain Wallet. And from the wallet, he guided me to this platform called semexbitny.com, where I performed option trading transactions. When I asked him to guide me through withdrawing my money from this platform, he did and said that I needed to contact customer service on the platform about the upfront 15% fee that I would need to pay. For me to withdraw my money, I will need to pay 15% up front in cryptocurrency in 10 days; otherwise, the system will freeze my account, where I cannot deposit, withdraw, or trade.
