So Called Allen Norman
Complaint 211722 Details

I communicated with this guy (supposedly from Charlotte, NC but in reality from Lagos, Nigeria where I understand a lot of scams are going on, people working together to scam lonely people out of money.) I am going to copy & paste information that I sent to the Concord NH fraud unit. I understand that they can't do anything except report to FBI, but I had to let somebody know. So here is a paste of info that I sent them along with some of the communication with so-called Allen.Last fall I joined Match.com and pretty soon after I started getting requests from Tagged.com. I had actually joined Tagged back in 2009 with a couple of local female friends, but had forgotten that I joined until I started getting requests from other members of Tagged, supposedly single either widowed or divorced. The so –called Allen Norman has a profile which said he was a Catholic man who had been widowed 2 years ago and that his wife had died of injuries sustained in an auto accident and that he had two children, a daughter 24 years old and a member of the Coast Guard plus an 8 year old son who was staying with his brother. He supposedly had 3 brothers & one sister. We chatted back & forth, seemed to be some attraction there and of course I was lonely. He seemed very sincere, told me he was self -employed in the crude oil business. Eventually he told me that he had two shiploads of crude oil to go to the Ukraine from the sea port in England and that he was going to have to fly to London to get the shipments off and on their way to the Ukraine, supposedly leaving the airport in North Carolina Christmas Eve and arriving there on Christmas day. It was not long after that he said he would need to insure the shipments. Initially I told him that all I could send was $1000, which I did from the NH Federal Credit Union, to his so called friend “George” that lived in Las Vegas to his “Bank of America” account so that he could send it directly to “Allen.” Eventually he told me how scared & worried he was because he had to insure the shipments and he didn’t have the money because had invested almost all of his money to “buy” the crude oil. So, I got sucked into sending him “10,000 to his supposed sister’s’ account at TD Bank and then the second $10,000 through People’s United Bank to so-called “George’s” bank account at Bank of America. Once I told my son about this, he & girlfriend Brenda got all this information to me about scammers. And even after I let him know that I knew he was a scammer, still emailed me at my work email, still saying that he needed $35,000, then saying that his brother Sean was able to get him $20,000 but could I get him $15,000. I pretty much told him to leave me alone as I knew he was a scammer and that I had blocked him from emailing me and deleted him from Yahoo chat. I have all of Yahoo chats, and if you read them, you would see how he led me on, taking advantage of a lonely widow. Lesson learned. Wish I knew whose ID he stole so he would know. If you need any more information, let me know.Mary: Hang on, let me go make my shake.
