Since there's a scammer sending DMs to members on GaG, I am posting a video of the signs to watch out for. Are you interested to know?

He contacted me here by sending me a DM in early August. After I found out that he was a scammer I stopped contact with him.
He's been sending me DM'S again with his brand new username yesterday and today trying to win me back because he's angry with me for exposing him and his name and says I have ruined his reputation here on GaG.
This morning Eric said that he wishes he could shout out to the world how much he loves me. Classic scammer tactics.

Please watch this video so you don't get scammed. Eric said to me exactly everything that is in the video.

I wasn't aware about Romance Scams when he messaged me at first. But I am educating myself and sharing the information you might need someday.

Thank you! 🙂

Sage I've been on the internet for a long long time and I could tell you so many things that happen I mean it's unbelievable and it's what these people do to try to get you to trust them but I say take it one more step further if you feel somebody is scamming you post it say I believe this person is scamming me in the questions and if you want me to be alone ask how do I get gagged so I guess you can block never mind but post it

I think I have posted it a couple times about troll scammers or watch out for this person because of this reason or that reason

I mean some people might think that's rude to do but if I know for a fact that's the part that is maybe unjustified if you don't know for a fact that they are scammer then you can't really say their name but at the same time you can I don't mind doing it I'll do it in a heartbeat because I hate scammers I hate people that try to take anything from anybody

I'm sure this is going to be unpopular but I don't really care if I can save somebody from being scammed in any way shape or matter I'll do it in the heartbeat I don't care if there's repercussion

Like I said there are organizations out there and they use the same tactics they use the same script and I know in one heartbeat what they are what they're trying to do because it's happened to me so many times I mean so many times that

I get involved with them And around about way To act as if I'm scamming them back So Don't know what to say then It is quite funny

But I only do that if they're really kind of thinking they're smart but they're so stupid it's unreal and if I'm bored I will jump right into it with them

And for any guy that this has happened to and if it has happened why did a few times they know the moment the conversation starts this is a scam like I said these girls that are probably guys they tried to flirt and they do it so stupid and then they ask the same 5 to 10 questions in order because they think they're so smart and then they think they have you and of course they want to go to another app one that's easier to get your number or your whole name or your email if they have your name or your email then they're going to want to go to another app that will give then your phone number because a good hacker all they need is your email and a phone number that's why I couldn't understand Google when they set up the two party verification sign in deal whatever it's called I don't know I thought it was a stupid thing ever a good hacker will say hey this here's my WhatsApp let's talk on there well if you say okay they get your phone number right there you talk 15-20 minutes they'll manipulate you and say hey what's your email let me send you a picture or something and you do that well there you go they got both ways to start breaking into your computer or your phone or whatever Every chat

Every chat app has these people on them every single one if they are girl they come here they don't last very long I don't know about the guys because I don't talk to guys but I'm glad that you gave us all this information Because for the girls that do it on here I'm sure that they add many guys and if the guys follow them to another app that's on them but I will usually shut them down especially when I start repeating what they're saying to me are if I start telling them what their next move is going to be they get pissed off at me and like I said I've asked questions said things and questions about certain people and they're usually gone within a couple days some of them will still answer questions and I think just stay on the low-key side

But all I can say is you do whatever you think is right it keeps them out of here or to warn people..

And I will tell you this that they have ruined many many good apps chat apps because it's one after the other after the other and they start out with the same 5 to 10 questions they read from a script Thank You Sage I appreciate you you make gag a better place

@ohsheeT

I did post it but I didn't put his username because I wasn't exactly sure what the rules are about that, and I didn't want it deleted.
There were other people who reported him.
Unfortunately, he just opens another account when his account is frozen.

[ohsheeT]

Thank you you did the right thing

If he did not see it as a warning then he's blind and it will all catch up to him

Years before I got here, I ended up with several romance scammers.
They contact you from out of the blue claiming they saw you on FB and wanted to meet you. Once they get your attention, they say they are in Russia (or Ghana) and, for some reason, start telling you all kinds of pointless info about their country that you have NO interest in: their country's GDP, how much they import and export, how much of this source or that source their country produces each year, etc., etc.. Within 2 days they're in love with you! They send pics of "themselves" and immediately start telling you that they are going to come over to be with you and marry you and live happily ever after!
The next day, she says she's packed up and ready to come see you and is going to Moscow the next day to start on her journey. In Moscow, she goes to the house of a retired policeman who has a room to rent her until her plane is ready to leave. She bought you a souvenir of her country to give you when she arrives and can't wait to give it to you! The next message you get says that she went to the airport to buy her ticket but she's something like $98.57 short because of the present she just bought you and she wants you to wire the money to her to pay for the rest of her ticket or she's gonna have to go home and be ridiculed by her friends and, family because she already told them of the wonderful new life she's gonna have with you and they threw her a big going away party and will be mad at her if she doesn't go so, she CAN'T go back home and, since she quit her job to come to you, she can't get it back!! For the next 3 days, she begs you to send her the money and then you never hear from her again.
The last one was also in Ghana but she said she's actually from here, near me and even mentioned the town. The reason she's in Africa is to get art supplies for her art store that she has over here. She's staying with her grandmother who just sits around knitting all day. Why SHE'S in Africa, I don't know!! After the rest of the whole process, including buying you the gift but not the Moscow or policeman bit, she says she spent too much on my present and wants me to send her the money for the plane ticket. Sorry! I'm broke!! (Even if I'm not!)
Otherwise, I've had numerous computer scammers. All are from India and they somehow send you a message on your computer that it has a virus and you need to call a number to get help removing it. You call and get someone in India who sounds like they know what they're doing so, when they tell you to DL an app that let's them control your computer, you just go ahead and do it! Then they start screwing around with your computer and even tell you you have to pay them a certain amount of money to fix the problem!

No matter what the excuse is, ANYONE who asks for money who is an online contact only is a scammer. That is the bottom line. No other other sign matters but that one.

[Veronika_p]

I think we should have a quick page where users could see their names and be on the lookout.. GAG should do something about this 😞😞 it's getting scarier

[Veronika_p]

Reports are not being handled quite on time, I have made some few reports or even sexual harassment

[Veronika_p]

We should be able to report this people swiftly

[sage2021]

I agree 💯👍🏼

[Zack-Bann]

What’s important is not sharing any personal information that can identify you or allow for exploitation.
Just by doing that you’ll be technically safe while you report him and wait for him to be banned.

[sage2021]

@Zack-Bann

The reason why I ended up being a target 🎯 is because AI scanned our profiles and I made the list.

I asked the scammer right from the beginning what made him send me a DM, and he said because I knew that you would commit. I didn't know at the time what he meant by that but now it makes sense - to fall for his scam.

There are many people reporting him than just me.

Thank you for your guidance Zack. 🙂🧡

[Zack-Bann]

You’re one of the smartest people here.
I don’t know what AI thought you would be an easy target but its wrong ;)

[sage2021]

@Zack-Bann

Probably because of my age. They think that people my age have a lot of money and assets and that's what they are after.
The thing about the victims is that they are very intelligent people for the most part, but it's not lack of intelligence that gets us in trouble with a scammer.
It's our good heart. ❤️ We are kind, giving, always helping people who need our help. That's what gets us in trouble. We are the helper bees. 🐝

[lightbulb27]

Do post his name and such.

That is really pathetic and disgusting. Such people should be flogged.

Those whom don't have the faculties anymore are being scammed and it's wrong. A good reason to turn off or down the internet.

[sage2021]

@lightbulb27

A pink anonymous member put his username for us. It's about the 3rd question down.

[Anonymous]

Report jaksone2 for his scam messages. I have as well.

[sage2021]

Yep! That's Eric with his brand new A
GaG account. Warning ⚠️

[Opinion Owner]

It seems like this new stevenkelly account is the same guy too. He posts the exact same type of answers the Eric and Martin accounts always did and I doubt the real Steven Kelly would be on this site.

[sage2021]

@Opinion Owner

stevenkelly doesn't sound at all like Eric Jackson and all of Eric's accounts he opened up after they caught him.

stevenkelly doesn't have the same MO that Eric Jackson was using.

But he is a scammer so I have been told by the staff of GaG.

So is emily_Griffin. She scams the guys and stevenkelly scams the girls.

[EzraIsShy76028]

I wasn't aware but thanks for notifying everyone. I'll be on the lookout. I have had some people randomly message me about weird fetishes though.

[Likes2drive]

oh they’ve tried getting me several times on here and so many other media platforms it’s ridiculous makes you wonder how lazy they are to not have a real job

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's why I like passing for a brokey, even if I have money people will assume I'm broke, scammers just leave you alone 😂

[Humbertleinad]

I'm really interested to know

[Lliam]

What creeps!

[Paige2006]

I already know

[sage2021]

@Paige2006

Since you already know has it stopped you?

[worldscolide]

Hard to scam someone who doesn't allow dm's.
