Online Dating Scam
Unknown, Africa
A man that calls himself Timothy Gordon is preying on women that are online dating sites. He claims to be a widower (wife killed in auto accident) that is raising his daughter named Sarah. He claims to be an engineer and has a bid on a job in Nigeria. He gets the job and after several emails saying how much in love he is with you, he finally asks for money. There is a real Timothy Gordon in Fresno and it appears that this scammer is using Mr. Gordon's ID. He sent me a scanned image of his driver's license. He claimed to be 5'11" and his license says he's 5'8" with brown eyes. The photo shows blue eyes. Do not believe anyone that claims to be an engineer working in Africa. I've been told there are no white engineers working there. Beware of this guy. His emails indicate there is more than one person involved in this scam. One appears to be literate and the other can't spell or use the English language properly. I am posting the dtiver's license.
