Fraudsters

Hi Guys

Maybe you will read and say i am a little silly for what i have been doing but lets see what you think.

Wednesday this last week there was an email from someone claiming i had done a competition on facebook which was incorrect.

I played along with this but wanted to try and link this guy so that i could find out more i managed to get the link so i kept this person active talking until i knew i had enough information to hand to the police and stop this person or people from getting other information from others.

Ready to put this into action?

He had been on one of my facebook and taken a photo of myself and my partner also soe old information about me so he had dug where he thought he may win.

He then asked for my address and bank details i told him i do not give out any details he promptly said i can prove that there are such accounts that i can send you the money from the winnings on facebook again i was checking everything but not one thing matched.

I kept this person going he had sent me photos making out they were him i checked these out and they were no name or pictures of this guy anywhere.

So i decided that i would play this guy at his own game and asked for the money he said that he had for me he again said i need an address and a phone number my reply to him was buckingham palace, London, England.

Whoever this guy is has a shock coming to him i have put all the mail and as 2018 someone also tried to scam me i have enough evidence i hope to hand over 35 email and an email that comes up as an ok address.

I took the pleasure of taking the micky out of him as well
