Comment on New “Nigerian” Scam – American Soldiers Iraq by Fighting back

Fighting back — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:09:01 +0000

In July 2010, I met this guy by the name of Mattew Tonsetic on Match.com His profile name was born_again001. He told me that he was an American Sgt currently serving in Baghdad, Iraq. He was divorced for 5 years. He has 2 children but his ex-wife kidnapped her daughter (now 12 years old) to her country in Brazil. Mattew’s mother lives in Accra, Ghana, therefore, his son, Gabriel (14 years old), lived with her till Mattew’s service terminated in Sept. He also told me that his exwife withdrew a large sum of money from his account while he was away serving in Turkey for 3 years. Therefore, he froze his account before leaving for Iraq. Mattew and Gabriel wrote to me that Gabriel needed to pay the outstanding tuition or else he could not sit for the exams. Mattew also forwarded me a letter from the school principal, Professor Tony Cerlorm, demanding payment of the outstanding arrears. Mattew said that it was a loan, and he would pay me back once he returns home to Bronxsville, New York. The Professor suggested to make payment via MoneyGram or Western Union in the amount of GHS 1139. addressed to TONY TAGBOR. On July 31, after much persuasion from the father and son, I sent the whole amount by MoneyGram. Couple of weeks later, Mattew told me that Gabby wanted to take an IT program during the summer in the amount of GHS 1363. I told Gabby via msn that I could not help him. Both Gabby and Mattew gave me this very guilt trip that I denied Gabby’s happiness and education. Mattew reassured me that he would pay me all back in Sept and that it was the last time that he would ask me for help. Out of sympathy for them, I made another payment payable to Gabriel Agbeko Junior. I later found out that I was scammed but continue to play along. Recently, Mattew told me that his name was not listed to return in Sept; so he wrote to the headquarter to file for a retirement. Mattew told me that he would need my assistance again. He knew of a General in Ghana who was preparing for his retirement. The General will contact me via email. This is an organization operating in Ghana. I was chatting with more than one person by the name of Mattew Tonsetic. His email address is belive_god03@hotmail.com They even sent me pictures of Tonsetic in uniform, his exwife, children, and granny. Gabriel’s email address is young_gabby01@yahoo.com Please refer this case to the proper authority so to put those scammers behind bars.

I have been contacted by many ladies on this site. My profile shows that I am married. I know they are fake, because they talk about marraige and go on fron there, very explicit and somewhat amusing, because you know they will eventually ask for money. Tjey come from Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, Nigeria and the USA. Is there any way of stopping these people before they really rob some innocent person?

I got something like this too. I got a cashier’s check for $1,287.88 and instructions to wire $945 of it to a supposed relative. There was no company information on the outside of the envelope. It was mailed from Canada. The letterhead says “Archway Marketing and Surveys”, and the website http://www.archway.com, so I had to do some digging to find the scam info. I found it by Googling the telephone number, 760-650-9864. The “training coordinator” is listed as Peter Wilson. The check was drawn from the Indianapolis Post Office Credit Union and the signature looks exactly the same as the one pictured above. I will turn it over to my post master.
