A man named Benton Casper contact me about a month ago throught http://www.cherryblossom.com. He started me writing when he say he was on Canada on a event.
He told me he was an architect Born and grow in Beligium and now living and working on London. He was divorced and have two little girl and live with her mother who take care his girls. His father has passed away he worked as a civil engineer and his last job was in Malaysia when he got sick and return to london when he passed away. He will travel to Malaysia to get paid the money of his father for the period of being working there and then he will travel to my country to meet me.
We started exchange e-mail and write each other and then we exchange cel number to chat via whats app and I noticed comparing his e-mail with his writing at whatsapp .
Also i start looking over white pages from London and i did not find anything about him or her mother. I think it was very weird.
He write very well English. He write a little at whatsapp during the day because of his work. I also saw his photos he wear very formal for being an architect and pin in his suit and i remember that people who is political or lawyer use something similar.


So i start looking up over the internet one photo he sent to me. I found the photo belong to the Rumanian Political Ovidiu Alexandru RAEŢCHI . The scam dowload photos from his instagram account and facebook,

He use the whatsaap ( The number belong to United Kingdom ( London) : +447521146680 . It still working and it appears this photo.

I stopped talking to him and he did not realize that i know he is a scam.
i hope this could help others to be aware of this man .

PD : I forgot he also sign up with another nickname on another website
for musulman marriage.
Please give a click on the pictures to see the complete information.

I will always try my best to keep in touch with you. And will be honest and sincere to you. One thing I knew is that it is God who brought us together through this way. There are hundreds of thousands of men and women out there but God picked us out of them to share our feelings and get to know each other better. It’s an honor and I thank God who made it possible for us to meet here. I strongly believed that our future is bright and the Lord who started this good work in our lives shall complete it to the end.

Listen to your cries and show you love beyond measure. It is a pity being alone. I have been lonely, although you may ask why? Even though there are some women here but you should know that all that glitters are not gold. I am taking it easy, waiting for that right woman no matter where she may come from. And here you are dear. Hopefully we shall meet and keep this relationship going.

Of all those God reference gives me lulz (a sign that this is a West African scam) , Malaysian reference also gives away that this is a West African scam. Numbers of West African criminals are surging up in Malaysia and Indonesia, they tie up with the local gags so the ones who were responding to you on texts could be local Malaysian criminals then emails were in charged by Africans from Africa. They work in the team.


I think that UK number is a toll free one. +447...

I am glad you didn't get scammed and hope your information will help many others in the future.

Do NEVER confront the scammers it will only educate them
Once you found out that you are in contact with the scammer(s), before you take any actions other than blocking them, you can CONSULT in the forums first.

With the exception of numbers starting +4470, all UK numbers starting +447 are mobile phone numbers, not toll free. Numbers starting +4470 are personal redirect numbers.

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.

I do not block his e-mail account and cel number yet.
I think it is time to do that.

I hope this information could help a little bit to others people.
