Found this person on a Facebook dating app. We talked and FaceTimed together. She started to talk about this crypto site to use for investments. https://cpxdk.com/#/home is the website that was used to do the transactions. She told me to pull on a loan on that site of a 7k loan. I tried to withdraw the "money" earned on that site. I tried to withdraw that fund from the website. Then received an email telling me I must pay this 7k loan to pull the funds out. I got the wallet address and paid the loan off. After that three more times, there were amounts I needed to pay off to withdraw funds. After that loan and two other payments, I started to realize that. This must be a scam and I tried to stop all payments. It was too late and the money was transferred. I have photos and the emails.

This person posing as Stjepan Hauser, the cellist, was a person, with whom I chatted for more than 2 years. He told me he had a gift package for me and sent me the picture. He gave the website, FWDelivery.com, which has since changed to FWDelivery.net, and a tracking number. I used the tracking number and found a description of the 40-lb package and its contents on the webpage. The person in charge reached out to me via my email address and started communicating through email. I was told of the charges for delivery and how the payments should be made to several people through PayPal. The person in charge, Euri Parios, was very formal and proceeded to tell me how to pay the $5,300. I was told to make several small payments, to several people,including himself, although later he reversed that charge via PayPal. Then I was asked to pay insurance for the valuables in the package. they asked for an electronic transfer. I had to collect money. they made up a poorly written insurance certificate, which they emailed to me and informed me that i would be receiving my package that Saturday, Nov 5. In the meantime, i was told they were working out problems with their website, so the website was down. Immediately after they received my last e-payment, and they sent the so-called insurance certificate, they stopped communicating me. I sent them an email every day for three days requesting the new tracking number and the new website, but they never responded after that. on Saturday, Nov. 5, when i did not receive the package, i immediately contacted my credit cards to report the fraud and to stop payment on the transactions. I also contacted Wells Fargo, the bank to which I sent the e-payment. The person (Hauser) who supposedly, upon realizing I had stopped payment from the reports from these people sent to him. was very angry and wanted me to send more money, but I did not agree. The people involved are as follows: Tina Strait ([email protected]), Euri Parios, FWDelivery Manager ([email protected]), GothBatt66@, [email protected], [email protected]. Now someone else is trying to get in touch offering his services to get the people who stole my money, but this is also another dubious individual because of the way he approached me with no credentials of any sort. He sent me his picture and reached out via text messages. He mentioned he was trying to get from me the money I had sent to 3 of the people listed below because according to them I had sent money to them of my own free will. i explained they were part of this delivery company and were committing fraud. Then he immediately changed his tune and offered his services to me. I think he also mentioned something about being in the FBI office. His name is Albert Lucas ([email protected]). I didn't want to answer his calls because he used his email to ring me from WhatsApp.

These people are still trying to get back the money I initially sent them. The truth is I am a little afraid because these people are evil. I need some sort of professional help. I have stopped chatting with the impostor. I do have three of his US phone numbers (405.623.4988; 209.457.7462; and the most recent 919.764.0690) although I believe he is Croatian.

On or near October 27, 2023, I was contacted by Susann993 through the website “Adult Friend Finders”. The conversation was quickly moved to “Whatsapp” on my phone. Susann993 and I engaged in idle chit chat for the first few messages where I learned she was in immigrant from China with permanent residence status. I also learned that her parents lived near Las Vegas.

Her telephone number currently is {213) 519-6165. According to Whatsapp.

During one conversation Susan(her real name?)mentioned she had made a great deal of money in some bitcoin-like enterprise. I asked about it. At that point she began teaching me how the investment was supposed to work with a goal of getting me signed up. The apps she steered me to were readily available in the app store for Apple. Over the next few calls, we were trying to set up my account, but I kept running into difficulties. The goal was that I would eventually use $500 from my IRA to make an investment in this scheme.

Now she is patiently waiting for me to get my account set up and my money from the retirement fund.

It started as a possible longterm friendship on line with the possibility of a longterm or permanent relationship. After a time of online interaction he insisted on opening a joint savings/investment account. He stated he was a broker with Zetom.org. After some time of constant pressure she gave in. She gave him $200.00 to get started but before she had found out it was a scam she had given him $900.00. When she tried to get her money back he stated it would take 8 months. Over time he started to get belligerent with her. Calling her while she was at work stating she needed to give him more money then calling her names and bulling her. This is still going on today. After her attempts to block him he changes sites, names, and numbers. She reported him to WatsApp and Zelle. Now he wants her to open a cashapp for him. He is a vary persistent person and I would like people to know if they ever meet him online so no one goes threw what she has and still is dealing with.

$1400.00 to date, with demands for more. Attempts to cultivate romantic relationship. Ultimately targeting federal disability benefits. Scammer intends to isolate victim from family members, thus gaining false trust, with marriage as the objective. Other claims by the scammer include monetary needs to avoid starvation, eviction, physical abuse, and other fictitious financial hardships requiring immediate assistance. I am seeking out these parties for prosecution, exposure, and to stop this fraudulent activity.

Sergio Martin Almiron (Martin) and I started messaging each other and sharing photos in March 2023 while he was working in NY. It quickly became affectionate. We are both Argentinian citizens who dance tango and were put into contact with each other by mutual tango acquaintances. In May 2023, he moved to Cambridge and we began a sexual relationship. We romantically dated throughout the summer and I spent some nights sleeping at his apartment where he lived alone.

During this time, he encouraged me to leave my personal property at his apartment as is typical when dating in an overnight romantic relationship.

As we walked hand in hand and were making out by the waterfront in the Seaport of Boston, we were planning a romantic trip to Mallorca Spain, just the two of us. We planned a trip to Argentina together in August 2023, as mentioned in the attached texts. I would spend four weeks there, my children would join me for one week, and he would be there for two weeks. Only after I arrived in Argentina did he tell me that he was not going to be able to have time off of his work in NY and he texted that he looked forward to seeing me when I return to the U.S. He asked that I still meet with his family and introduce his nephew to my daughter. I had informed him previously that I only wanted to meet his family if he was with me and I am very protective of having my children meet men that I date, including their family.

He felt that I owed his family money because they were excited to meet me and I chose not to meet them. I did not request the child to contact me directly but he instructed the nephew to contact me anyway. I have attached the entire text conversation with his nephew in which I state “Thank you for your message regarding tango lessons for [my children] this week. I have not heard from Martin for several days so I assume we are not continuing with lessons. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration.” I have never had any other communication with the nephew. Neither one of them responded to my text. No appointment was made, no promise of money was made, no time, date, or location was ever set to meet with them for tango lessons. I did not feel obligated to pay his family $1000.00 (one thousand) U.S. dollars, which is approximately two months’ salary in Argentina. Unfortunately, it is a common scheme in South America to have a child approach someone from the U.S. since it wears on our sensibilities. To me this was too large of a red flag to ignore and I am much better at protecting my daughter than myself. I said no to letting them have access to my 17-year-old daughter.

This caused the breakdown in our relationship and we ended our relationship while I was still in Argentina, August 2023. Martin is in possession of my personal property that I would like returned.

I am also writing this report and wrote a police report because I am concerned that he was intentionally misleading/conning me from the very beginning. I feel he conned me out of thousands of dollars. I paid for everything he asked for, and he would make requests for me to purchase him expensive items, pretending how we have a future, even if just friends. I was, at the least, cultivating a personal relationship and he was accessing my wallet. I want to document this potential fraud and con-game in case other women come forward. As a tango teacher he has access to women and I hope no-one else falls for his cruelty.

I also documented a related communication in the event that it increased or became more of a danger to myself and children. I have now also been messaged in a threatening way by his associate named Natalie Larrea, she is from Guayaquil Ecuador and resides in New Jersey. I have never met her but have reported her actions to the police. She sent messages to my work, but I did not open them. “Aha I’ve got you now” was the heading of the message. The messages auto delete after seven days so I do not know the rest of the message and figured it would be best not to open anything from her. At first, I thought she was also a victim and shared screen shots of Martin writing love emojis to me and telling me how I am beautiful, because she asked me to in the one conversation I had with her, but now I am more concerned with her unusual behavior. Martin obviously knows my name, where I live, my children, everything about me, so not sure what her message was intended to convey other than to intimidate me. I have no way of knowing if she is involved in his actions.

She may face deportation issues if Martin does not host her, so she has a motive to preserve her arrangement. I am told by Martin, he needed her to get into the country and now she is only here on his visa. She is aware Martin dates and has sex with other women. Their relationship was explained to me as a necessary arrangement. Martin and I openly dated, enjoyed romantic dinners, kissed on the streets of Harvard Square, walked and made-out by the water in the Seaport, holding hands and planning vacations. There was nothing to hide, I told him I would never agree otherwise, Martin seemed to consider himself free to date.

Martin would send me a crying emoji when he would have to see Natalie. The disparity between the two of them is significant, so his statements seemed very credible at the time. Martin is clearly living separately and does not wear a ring and openly dates not only myself but other women. Not wanting to get in the middle of anything, I asked Martin do you love Natalie, is she your dream girl, and he said, no. He explained that it was not a want it was “a need” to have an arrangement with her when he is in New York. Rent is expensive there and he needs this arrangement for the apartment. He asked, would I help him to get an apartment? English is not his first language and he elaborated that he feels like a baby in the United States, that it is not like Argentina. He explained that if he had enough money he would not be in the arrangement. He is a free person and if he considers himself separated and free then it is not as if she can threaten women, he, chooses to have relationships with. I have been to Guayaquil Ecuador and was protected by men with machine guns since it is severely impacted by violence and gangs. Violence may be considered appropriate in personal situations that are clearly against the law in the United States. In my opinion, Martin truly seems to fear certain things about her or his situation, and in my opinion, he seems concerned about retaliation perhaps by her family, or someone else, upon him leaving. He said he was getting pressure from others to have to stay in the arrangement with her. For all those reasons I documented her threatening actions to the police. I cannot warrant the truth of all his statements to me but just reiterated them in the police report.

I understand I was foolishly misled similar to the email scams of a foreign prince coming to enchant me if I only just send money to his family.

It became clear to me when he attempted to involve my daughter in this plan, that I cannot trust him. I feel his behavior was unnecessarily cruel and I would like my personal property that he is in possession of returned and to report this here so other women seeking tango lessons don't fall into this cruel trap.

This was from Chaturbate website and performer hardandhorny145 convinced me we were in love and had me send him money directly to his cash app which bypasses Chaturbate getting their cut in money. Ive notified Chaturbate support and continue to get ignored. I deactivated my account out of shame and humility. Chaturbate continues to let performer hardandhorny145 use their platform so he continues to scam people out of money. Chaturbate is as responsible for allowing this to happen.

Person claimed to be CEO Stefan Persson of Sunset Energy. Contacted me through an online dating site and proceeded to connect with me for a few weeks via telephone and email. He had fake LinkedIn profiles set up. I have reported him. He had information in ZoomInfo on a business that does not exist. I reported him. His website he established is part of his MO to convince people he is 'real'. It is https://www.sunsetenergyinc.com. It is still active. He lures unsuspecting women and 'romances' them for several weeks. Slowly identifying himself and falsehoods with supporting websites like LinkedIn and other sites claiming to be affiliated with Kier Consulting. Claimed to be in Dubai closing on a business deal, even initiated a call that 'appeared' to be originating from Dubai. After a week or so, the ask for money claiming he could not access to his bank in UK. I did not respond. He kept calling, continuing with emails and finally when I said to giving money, he claimed he would have to sell his watch his 'dead wife' gave him to purchase a return flight home from Dubai where his oil brokerage deal had failed. I ended call. Block on access via my phone and email. He has since re-established a profile on LinkedIn as Stefan L P. Fortunately, I did not lose any money, but I am fortunate enough to have access to tools that allowed me to vet this individual. Others may not be so fortunate. He is trolling online dating sites looking for victims.

Criminal conspiracy is a serious offense that involves two or more individuals planning and executing illegal activities. It is alarming to think that even those in positions of authority, such as officers, can participate in such actions. This essay will discuss a specific case where adverse parties conspired to harm someone with the intention of manipulating the system for personal gain.

In this case, the adverse parties overheard someone discussing their intention to claim child support benefits through a social security disability claim. This information seemed to trigger avaricious thoughts in their minds, leading them to formulate a criminal conspiracy. To carry out this deceitful plan, they decided to stage a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) domestic violence attack, fabricating multiple incidents without any legitimate medical claims or court documents.

One can only imagine the level of callousness and disregard for human life that the adverse parties displayed through their actions. By staging these fake attacks, they aimed to not only harm the individual but also manipulate the legal system to their advantage. The adverse parties falsely believed that the victim would automatically benefit from the harassment, securing child support benefits and other forms of compensation. This warped sense of entitlement highlights the deeply troubling motives behind their criminal conspiracy.

In addition to the adverse parties, the involvement of officers in this conspiracy further intensifies the gravity of the situation. Law enforcement officers are supposed to be the pillars of justice, upholding the law and protecting society. However, when these individuals abuse their power and participate in criminal activities, it erodes public trust and undermines the integrity of the entire justice system.

Conspiring to commit acts of domestic violence solely for personal gratification and biased motives, such as dating violence, is both immoral and illegal. It not only inflicts physical and emotional harm on the victim but also perpetuates a cycle of violence that can have far-reaching consequences on individuals, families, and communities.

The criminal conspiracy described in this essay is a shocking example of how individuals can exploit the legal system for personal gain and gratification. The adverse parties' decision to fabricate incidents of domestic violence to manipulate the system reflects a complete disregard for the well-being of others. The involvement of officers in this conspiracy further highlights the need for accountability and transparency within law enforcement. It is essential that such actions are exposed, and justice is served to protect innocent victims and maintain the integrity of the justice system

I met the person on an online dating site, we began to talk, and he then told me he would be going overseas on a deployment assignment, that if he went, he would have a month vacation when he returned. The First incident he told me he had ran into some trouble and he needed some money. Some equipment had broken under his watch, and he needed to pay for it. He told me he had a way of getting the money, he would sell an item he had, he told me he needed my bank info to make it happen because he didn't have with him any of his info because he had left in such a hurry, he couldn't gather his things. This is when it all started, I gave him my information the next thing there are funds in my account, and he asked me to withdraw the funds and send him the money. A few days later there's a reverse of fund in my account and my bank account in overdrawn. He told me he paid for the equipment but still was overseas with no money. The more we spoke the more i believed him, he seemed very sincere and honest, I continued to send him money helping him during his deployment since he had no funds. Second incident, he again needed a way to get home and he asked me to open a bank account this time because he was doing another selling transaction. This time he took $10,000.

from that transaction and left my bank account overdrawn.

I first met "Sebastian Roger" through an online dating app called Seeking Arrangements in February 2021. I put my profile on the app, and he contacted me first. We started chatting, and I thought things were going well. It seemed we were falling in love very fast, which should have been the first red flag, but I thought nothing of it at the time. After about a month of talking on the phone, he told me he was looking for a business partner to invest in cryptocurrency with him, and gave me the name of the website, coinboomonline.net . I told him I knew nothing about investing and didn't feel comfortable investing when I had no emergency fund, and that I preferred to use cash for my spending. He told me there would be weekly returns on my "investment". So I let myself be blinded by greed and agreed to try it, even though my gut instinct was screaming at me to say no. After a few months I was having serious reservations about what I was doing so I told him I wanted to get my money out. That was when he told me I would have to pay a withdrawal fee of $1000, plus account closing fees and yet another fee to convert the crypto into cash. Classic pig butchering scam, although I didn't know what that was at the time. I tried to pay these so called fees myself but it got to the point where I couldn't afford to do it, so I told "Sebastian" that I wasn't going to put any more money into this. I wound up losing about $15,000 to this, which included my Social Security disability back pay, plus both COVID-19 stimulus checks. I let it go for a few years. I tried contacting "Sebastian" again through Instagram (the page is sbcglobal) in December 2022, trying to get my money back, and he once again scammed me out of every last dollar I had, about $900. Finally, I had enough, and asked him to take my name off of the account, as I had found out he had set it up as a joint account with him. The last time I tried to check the account I found out my name was still on it.
