The number is in Florida and appears to be a landline. Please post emails from this person; we should be able to tell from the wording whether he is a scammer.

You might expect the guy to be able to know his own physical address, but this one does not exist according to the USPS, and Google.
227 44th street sea isle city NJ 08234

Several of the pictures on his website are also used in other websites, too. It is impossible to tell if the other sites stole his pictures, he stole theirs, or if they are not copyrighted at all and free and open for use of anyone.

Even more interesting is the fact that he is not even the registrant on his own website....

it all smells like week old fish to me, that has been laying in the sun. But I will admit I trust zero until trust is earned.

a search on the registrant's email address for the website above reveals what sure seems to be 4 or more other scam websites using different information on them...

It doesn't make any sense for a small/medium sized US company to be involved in small UK domestic building contracts. All building materials would have to be purchased locally with local building contractors and it couldn't possibly be competitive. How could you manage such projects from the USA ? and who would want to or make a profit doing it ?

The idea is simply daft.

…… specialise in all types of grade II listed and conservation works.


The very concept of this would be alien to most US building contractors and I doubt there is a pool of expert lime wall plasterers in the USA, much less lath and plaster specialists. You simply couldn't manage a conservation project from the USA.

The website is simply silly.

The guy on the left , wearing black suit holding a trophy, was the guy who contacted me. He is on the middle photo group. He claimed he is Steven J Bucks . From Belgium.. I still trying to figure out how to post his photo here.. He has a FB profile. He claimed he can access due to lost password. His voice don't sound , don't match with his profile.. It was very, very strange. In fact the Florida number, has voicemail with his voice recording.

Alexis,
Steven J. Buck is definitely a scammer, so don't feel embarrased by feeling scammed. This man has been contacting me since 2013. He contacted me through a website "Our Time", and had a website regarding a warehouse he owned in Brussels Belgium. I contacted the Police department in Belgium and a Patrick Stevens answered my email. Told me Buck was never a Belgium citizen, Buck was not a Belgium last name and that his birth was never on a registry that Belgium keeps. Therefore, the man shows his real picture because he uses alias names. This man has scammed me of well over $100,000 dollars and has not attempted to pay me back. He pledges his love to me for 3 years, sends me roses about 2 times a year, and really knows how to sweep a woman off her feet. Does he tell you that he loves you, calls you his Queen and My Love, Baby, etc. Even has a picture of you blown up on the wall in a frame. I bet there are many many other pictures behind both yours and mine as he is a real gigolo. If the man is going under another name in FB, since I don't know your age, let's just say he is about 58 or 59 years of age. He is a real good conman. He bounces from Philippines, to UK, supposedly Florida, NJ and now you say Turkey. Gee I wonder who he is scamming now. He doesn't work, just lives off women's money. He picked me out from a dating sight, I had just divorced my cheating husband after 35 years of marriage. Buck asked me questions, through our talks and he told me he was widowed and I told him I had no real living relatives left except a daughter and maybe 6 distant relatives. Well, $ signs showed to him about my currrent financial situation. Granted, he has all the social skills of a real gigilo. Knows exactly what to say and when to say it. The best is using, My Queen. If I had him in front of me at the moment, my sputum in his face would be too good for him. Please heed my words, he will scam you from all he can get and you will not see a penny of it back. Learn from my mistakes. There is someone else on this sight with 3 pictures of him. He has dark hair, nice looking, the ones I saw he had a white shirt with a tie on and there are two others in a group of him. He really looks like that as he showed his real self to me once on webcam. Very stupid action on his part if you ask my opinion. I can identify him a mile away. Says he has a son, grand daughter and daughter in law. States son is in the US army. I do know if he really has a son, that boy supposedly named "Kelly" must know what he is because he never keeps in touch with his father. Do you honestly wonder why? He must have to jump from country to country as he is always on the run, do you wonder why. I hope I have saved you your self-esteem, he is definitely bad, bad, bad news!!!! Cheer up sweetie, there is more fish in the sea and you are better finding this out from one who is older and has learned from her mistakes!!! Write me if you care to and I will be glad to give you more info should you care to prosecute him!!

I am sorry to hear that you were scammer, but the above is incorrect. The person in the pictures is an innocent victim who has had his pictures stolen.

I can tell from the language used that the person you have been in contact with is almost certainly a young West African man. He has most likely never been to Belgium, the UK, US or any other countries mentioned in this thread.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
