Met up with this jerk on Match.com. Was supposedly going to UK to buy antiques for privates clients. Suddenly the weight of shipment is differentt than what shipping agent had told him so he needed money to make up the difference, then suddendly after he has received the money he is arrested at customs for smuggling and mis-declaring his shipment so needs money to get bailed out. Uses MKinsearch as name and claims to live in Fruita, CO. Scammed me for close to $10,000.

I also met this creep on match.com. was also told he was in UK buying antiques for his business. this time he said his paperwork regarding taxes was wrong when he went to customs, and they were going to seize his shipment if he didnt pay. said he needed $24000.00 more dollars, could i help? i saw a post by you on another website about him, so i knew he was trying to scam me. he is a very smooth talker, his pictures i recieved show him abit older. this idiot needs to be taken down.

This guy is such an idiot that he contacted me 2 months later. I have filed a police report and am working with a task force to find him.

Met him on Match.com. He approached me. He speaks with a Swedish accent. He will call you for you to call him back. Spoke to him on the webcam one Sunday morning and he does look like his pictures.Said he was from Wichita, KS and had just gotten to London on his first business trip. Supposedly bought merchandise for 3 weeks and then went to customs for presentation and was fined $99,000 in fines and taxes. Said his childhood friend Robert came up with $40,000 and he borrowed $30,000 from his bank and he only needed $29,000 more. Sent him $6,000 from my 401k last year and sold my house 2 weeks ago and wired him $15,000. I was suppose to fly to London on August 7,2013 to go with him to the brokers office to pick up the money and he was going to borrow the other $8,000 from the broker. Got a call from Robert the next morning and he said not to take my flight or I would be stranded in London because Donald was arrested for trying to smuggle 6 gold bars in his shipment. Now he needs $116,000 to get released from detention. He makes everything seem so real, from going to customs every day to sign for his shipment to being in the hospital for 6 weeks after having stage 4 heart failure. He had a total of $26,000 in 3 transfers wired into my checking account. Said someone in the U.S. from Clickbank owed him money and they couldn't do international wires but he knew I could. He wanted to show me that he did have money and that he could trust me. He also says he has a lawyer, James Sherman, in London.I am now living in the ghettos of Wichita and he is spending my money. I have lost everything and he doesn't care. He uses God and says he is a Christian and acts likes he's a very family oriented man and has a son Roffe who is into soccer. Wish I had known about this website earlier
