My aunt was scammed by Michael Abbos (thats the name they used). They preyed on her and she was even asking family for money out of desperation. She got tricked and lost all her money. They next told her she needed to go to Georgia to meet in person with an additional 85,000 since her 113,000 was not enough. They even asked her for her bank account and routing number and she ended up giving it to them. I am trying to find a way to help her get her money back. According to opencorporate, the address belongs to primavera pictures llc. Which was closed in Aug of 22. Then a new company was opened up called avana holding llc, under a different address.

This person going by the name “James Peterson” and using photos from the real Facebook profile of the known motivational speaker “David Avrin,” reached out to our 90 year old grandmother in Fall of 2021. Over the next year, she proceeded to have a romantic online relationship with this person who scammed an estimated $10,000 from her using pre-paid gift cards. In December 2022, we discovered that she had been scammed and that they had been messaging on Facebook, via email, text messages, and also on WhatsApp. A police report was filed, and all (there are at least a dozen) James Peterson Facebook profiles with the same photos have been blocked and reported to Facebook. Facebook is refusing to take down the profiles despite repeated reporting. Our grandmother still believes that this romantic relationship was real and continues to seek this person out. The story he used was that he was from Santa Ana, CA and is stuck overseas on an oil rig off the coast of Ireland.

He sent me a dm through my Instagram account. Instantly started lovebombing me. Then an emergency struck and he needed help in getting home. He

claimed he was a successful businessman and he was a millionaire so he would pay me back when he got back in the states from Barbados. It never happened everytime he was supposed to come to see me another emergency happened and he needed more money from me. Promised me he was coming here and we would spend our lives together forever he was going to marry me and l would move to New York to live with him.

We “met” on a dating site. He charmed and romanced me, then, when I was hooked and “in love,” he kept asking me to send him money. I did end up sending it, naively, before discovering that he was scamming me. I realize that, because of my ignorance, I may never get it back, but I want others informed. I believe that his business is totally made up.

The scammer used a fake account to be perceived as a girl, and offered sexual type conversations and pictures. But, each time they asked for something back. After doing so, they took my pictures, and lists of my followers from Instagram, and threatened to spread the pictures if i didn't pay them 300, plus 100, plus another 300. So 700 overall. The scammer seemed to be of another country, as he spoke in broken English and had a vendor that he would talk to about the money and if the money went through. So the account talking to the person wasn't the owner of the Venmo accounts (payment account).

I met a gentleman on a Facebook dating site. Carl Bailey Weinbrandt. He had a Facebook profile. We texted for weeks, then exchanged phone numbers. We shared some personal thoughts and information. I did not give him my address. He said he was an architect and worked many hours a week at his company. He sent me his company website, told me to put in his employee # 167723. This number pulled up a profile picture that matched his Facebook Profile. The company appeared legit. I was very cautious, not having dated in years. This man has a very heavy German accent. He talked about taking me on a vacation (out of the country). I thought that was weird, as we hadn't met in person. He said it was already approved by his company. I told him it was time to meet. We agreed on this coming weekend, October 15th, 16th, 2022. Our texts and conversations were never inappropriate and that was nice. Last weekend he sent me a message telling me I had to be the one to request "time off" through his company...red flags went up. He provided me with their email:

urbanshelfcivil.com. He told me to make the request, a small chat box would open on the bottom right and to keep him in the loop for his help. I made his request for time off. The whole experience was odd! I screen printed the whole dialog/interaction. They asked me my name. I gave first name only. I told them they didn't need my last name, as Carl knows who I am. They said they had to create a ticket, approval would be made in 24 hours and I would be notified by email. I gave them an old email address. After 24 hours I received an email stating his ticket for time off was approved. Per company policy, I was to pay for someone to cover his hours...$500.

I told him and them they were scammers!

I signed up for an online dating site (OurTime.com) and was contacted by a person seeking to get to know me. He told me, via gmail account, that he was of European descent living in Virginia, but staying in the UK for business (oil and petroleum). This person's "name" was Michael Butler, phone 571-336-7352. He told me he was having difficulty getting his refinery project financed, and asked me to pay a US-based logistics company $4623.00 so he could reserve money in the UK for his project costs over there. He provided the company name and bank account for routing the funds. I checked the company and it is registered as an LLC, however, I could not find a telephone number, website, contact name, etc. for this business. It is registered as an LLC in Indiana and the name of the business is Megasource Logistics, LLC. When I looked up the address, it is an apartment in Columbus, IN. I have copied the information from the email correspondence and attached it below. I asked for a copy of the work invoice, contact name, phone number and email address, but no reply was received. I have contacted OurTime
