I know her by a different name, Kimberly B. Fernando
When I first met Kim she was at home fixing food for her kids, including egg salad for herself. Shortly after we began talking she went aboard the oil vessel to begin her trip leaving her kids behind to be cared for by a nanny. She's sent pictures of her riding with her son, Richard, on a horse and she recently spoke of the little girl I saw in the picture named Michelle.
Kim has tried various tactics to get me to help out but because I've had repeated bad experiences with scammers I have spoken to her directly about my concerns. I've yet to send any money either, so that's good. However, like the lady in this report, it has taken a heavy emotional toll as you want to like and invest in this person, but you don't want to be manipulated either.
Anyway, Kim has tried various things from the open up a new account trick, giving me her "nanny's" e-mail to keep up with the kids and assisting with their needs, and even something about picking up a vehicle which was for me. But, I didn't go far with this last one. There was also an incident where she said she would be allowed to come here to see me because of special permission but I had to go to register with ID.me and give her access to my account. I didn't and she's said nothing else of it.
I've been pretty vocal with her that I don't entirely trust her because of these various tactics she's tried and I can't be if she continues pushing money as the focus. I try and talk to her about her life and where she's from, which for me is Spain and Rotterdam, where she said she lived for 10 years. But, what catches my eye is the information on her Facebook profile about Atlanta. If you look on her Facebook profile you'll see pictures of her and the black french bulldog, along with a picture of her in a gown, a little girl, and a couple of black kids that look like twins. However, these aren't her kids, but a "friend" who she posted these pictures for.
Now one convincing thing to Kim's story is that she did reach out to me with the video chat feature. I didn't see her on the video, but, I did hear a woman with a Spanish-like accent talking to me. However, she made out like she couldn't hear me although I know my settings were right. She hasn't done this again recently.
Also, I've noticed that Kim has been pretty consistent with uploading new pictures on her profile, including a recent one of her with a woman and one of her with wet hair. I wished that Kim was "real" but since coming across this report I finally have that proof I've been looking for to prove otherwise. So, thanks for this. It does break one's heart though, that such a cool and attractive person could be fake. But, at least I haven't lost any money yet, just time out of my life investing in someone that isn't who they claim to be or powerful evidence here is proving otherwise.

“Captain Olivia De leon” the Spanish-American seafarer is one huge CATFISH!!
She told me she was born in Barcelona, Spain, has not siblings, and only had a Mom, as her dad left mom while she was pregnant. That she and her mom moved to the USA when she was 22 yrs old and that she moved to Berlin for work four (now five) months ago.
She said she’s a Captain on a ship/vessel transporting oil and that her communications onboard are very much restricted, due to the connection to the vessel’s router and due to OHS aspects with carrying highly flammable liquids onboard.
Thus, she suggested we email on Google Chat, and after 2 days onspeaking on Chat, she said she found her “one” and suggested we delete the Zoe app. She started using loving emojis very soon and said all the right things at the right time. Wanted to start a family with me, wanted us to buy property together in Berlin, wanted us to commit very early on. The only times she was “able to communicate” was very late at night and very inconsistent.
She indicated that we’d be able to meet in Berlin “in the third week in December 2022”. Later she said that due to her (very hard and stressful) work, their schedules had changed and that she no longer knew when we’d be able to meet IRL, probably before New Year, 1 January 2023! She made me feel like the most special woman in the world.
Then she started saying her mom is not doing well. Then one night asked me to assist to her to do an online banking transaction, from her “own account” (Arvest Financials) to her mother’s caretaker’s account, which I did. She provided the link to the “online banking profile” etc and said that she will instruct me what to do at every step, I should just take screenshots. The “transaction” showed that the International transfer (of $11 000.00 to the account name Susan Philips) was successful. The whole aim of this exercise was to show her intended Taget her so-called “bank balance”, which was USD/& 786 400.00, for a 36 year old! She mentioned her job had “mad financial payouts”.
Then she asked her “superiors” for urgent leave to visit her sick mom, who was hospitalised at this stage, after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, level 2. She also sent the same document (as mentioned in other complaints) from her employer LNG instructing her to pay $1 500 towards her flight ticket (to USA from sailing the North Pacific somewhere, which she initially said was the South Atlantic ocean) and $6 000 for the relief personnel, as she was already paid for the specific contract. A couple of days later she asked me to assist her with the payment to her company, so that she was able to leave the boat and be with her “sick mother”. The transaction, however, was not successful and we tried the process again, to no avail.
She never asked me to pay any money over to her, but had me emotionally manipulated to a stage where you feel guilty not to suggest that as a way of remedying the situation - as she was apparently unable to leave the vessel before she paid her dews to the company, however,
i “Olivia De leon” matched with me on Zoe (a dating app). Having been catfished on this app before, but not at all to this extent. We started chatting on the Zoe app on 24 November 2022 until today, so, “she” had me fooled for a whole month! She told me she was born in Barcelona, Spain, has not siblings, and only her Mom, as her dad left mom while she was pregnant. That her mom and her moved to the USA when she was 23 yrs old and that she moved to Berlin for work four (now five) months ago. She said she’s a Captain on ship transporting oil and that het communication is very restricted, due to the connection to the vessel’s router and due to OHS aspects with highly flammables onboard. Thus, she suggested we email on Google Chat, and after 2 days speaking on Chat, she said she found her “one” and that we needed to delete the Zoe app. She started using loving emojis very soon and said all the right things at the right time. Wanted to start a family with me, wanted us to buy property together in Berlin, wanted us to commit very early on. The only times she was “able to communicate” was very late at night and very inconsistently. She indicated that we’d be able to meet “in the third week in December 2022”. Later she said that due to her (very hard and stressful) work, their schedules had changed and that she no longer knew when we’d be able to meet IRL, probably before New Year, 1 January 2023! She made me feel like the most special woman in the world. Then she started saying her mom is not doing well. Then one night asked me to assist to her to perform an online banking transaction, from her “own account” to her mother’s caretaker’s account, which I did. She provided the link to the online banking profile etc and said that she will instruct me what to do at every step, I should just take screenshots. The whole aim of this exercise was to show her target her so-called bank balance, which was more than a 3/4 million USD, at the age of 36. But she said her jobs had “big financial payouts”. Then she asked her “superiors” for urgent leave to visit her sick mom, who was hospitalised at this stage, after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, level 2. She also sent the same document from her employer LNG instructing her to pay $1 500 towards her flight ticket (to USA from somewhere sailing the North Pacific) and $6 000 for her replacement (Captain). The following day she sent me an “email” informing her that her online banking account has been frozen due to suspicious activity (unknown device & location) and that this could only be corrected at a bank branch with the relevant IDs and biometric verification.
So, that’s the long and short of the scam, although “she” played a long scam game with me, a whole month, and never ask me directly for the money. However, right after I offered to assist her with the payment, I conferred with family, and they were very suspicious at this point. She would get “pissed-off” every time I said that it was too good and perfect to be true, that she - jokingly - had to prove she’s not a robot.
After the interaction with my family I told her I withdrew the offer to pay the money to her, to which she confronted me, and said she thought that we trusted one another, which was something that she would always focus on.
She really had me fooled and question my worth and the difference between reality and fantasy.
I’m really traumatised after I lost the emotional capital of a month’s relationship, which was a whirlwind romance. She really broke my heart, so, I hope this cautionary tale will spare at least one person, who will not fall for “her” textbook Tinder Swindler moves. She’s so good with emotional manipulation and psychological mirroring, that she’s really dangerous and toxic. Do not believe this “kind & soft-spoken woman”!
