Not much person was in Tennessee then took an engineer job in Mexico

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!

Tried to send my nudes if i didnt pay him

So I was added through snap chat the scammer, said her name is Emily and that she wants to be my sugar mama and pay for finances. Sent 4 checks to deposit, that’s when I felt something was off,I did deposit the checks, after that she asked me how much money was in my account and asked me to send pictures of my account. I told her the number in my account, what a big mistake, then she told me to zelle money to another email this one to be exact [email protected], after that I just haven’t haven’t responded, she seemed very upset.

This guy started a romantic relationship with me and then weeks later he told me his brother is serious and he’s taking him to Malaysia for treatment . when he reached Malaysia, he called from the doctors phone. he said that all his belongings are lost and he needs to buy a phone and he ask for thousand dollars After sending him $1000.

he started asking me money little by little for his brothers treatment because he lost all his belongings and cannot get money from his country. he told me he was a very big businessman he was an engineer of his business and he will return my money. He send me a lot of pictures of things he bought I don’t know how true that was and he kept in touch with me until he took $27,000 off of me and he one day block to me so I couldn’t contact him.

- Houston, TX, USA

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
