James Moore, age 36, Austin, tx. Stated dob 2/16/76. Contacted via zoosk.com 3/13/2012 profile name crediblecare. Expressed romantic interest via text and email (5126607417) and ([email protected] and [email protected]). He says he can only text because the long distance won’t allow his cell phone to send or receive calls. When the number is called, a generic voicemail comes on. Several minutes later a woman named Cathy calls back asking who just called her phone. Her number on caller I’d is 8184163912. Very good with words. States he is American self-employed computer engineer in Istanbul turkey on a business trip. He says his father was American but died when he was 5 so he went back to turkey with his mom until he was 21 and moved back to Texas. He states he has a 3 year old daughter Mary, whose mother died in a car accident. He says he will be back in 2 weeks when his job is done. Suddenly his mom falls I’ll with breast cancer and Needs emergency surgery and the doctor (Ige Jamiu) needs $700 upfront to perform the surgery. When I questioned him about why he didn’t have the money he said the banking systems were different and he couldn’t use his ATM card. When I suggested opening a bank account there and wiring himself the money online, he said he froze his account when he left because a client had his bank info. When I asked about getting a cash advance on his credit card he said he lost one once so he never travels with one. When I questioned his veracity, he turned it around on me saying I had self-esteem and confidence issues and threatened to end the relationship. He refused to give solid evidence of his identity (passport number, DL number, photo of him with my name on a piece of paper).I sent $200 via western union on 4/6/2012 to the “dr” Ige Jamiu. He told me he didn’t have the proper ID that they use in Turkey to pick up the money himself. He said that would be enough for the doctor to perform the surgery until the rest of the money was paid. A few days later, he said they would not release his mom from the hospital until the balance was paid. I suggested he come home to deal with his bank so he could pay the bills. He told me that he had voluntarily given the doctor his passport to show that he would not leave the country without paying. Shortly after, he said he needed $150 for medications and food while his mom was in the hospital. When I again questioned why they couldn’t add to the bill, he kept saying it was the country’s way of doing things. When I told him I couldnt afford it, he would get defensive. Finally I told him I would be getting a tax return and could get him all of the money on payday if he would promise to come home. He even emailed travel itinerary from BT-store.com. He then asked if I would add an extra $150 to arrange for home care for his mom so he could come back to the states. I finally agreed to send $800 via Western Union on 4/13/2012 When I told him I sent it to James Moore instead of Ige Jamiu, he became irate and flat out ordered me to change the recievers name. When I let him know I would not be ordered and be a “submissive wife”; he calmed down and tried to talk to me about understanding. I told him that he could take the doctor to western union with him since he had his passport, use his passport as ID, hand over the cash, and keep his passport so he could travel back. Then he said that the Hospital management had his passport and I had misunderstood, that the doctor was just a middle man. I told him I didn’t trust the doctor and he kept saying what a wonderful man he was. I finally found someone else who had the same thing happen (exact situation and money amount, names, email and all). Even after I exposed him for the liar he is, he continues to Persue me and tells me that it is me who is ruining things with my doubts, not him. Ladies, if he has gotten you too, please post your story to every website possible (romantic scams, fraud busters, etc) but most importantly go to ic3.gov to register your complaint with the FBI. We MUST stop him from hurting others!!’

I don’t think you provide enough evidence here
I have just started talking to this guy OMG!!! He contacted me on a dating site called Zoosk off of FB!!! He has been telling me the same things. THank you so much for letting me know about him!! He said he lives in Adell Wisconsin but is in Turkey cuz his mom is sick!!
Glad to see this. He also goes by the name of Charles Wade Moore and email [email protected]. He changes cities and portions of the name but the same story ends up seeking money to Istanbul Turkey. There is a special place in hell for people like him to burn for all of eternity.
I am a teacher from the Philippines. I met this guy in tagged. We exchanged mails same story, single dad, has daughter mary 3 years old, software engineer and i trusted him saying he is a godly man. But I became suspicious since when I looked up his email in FB he was a different person from the photos he sent me. Thank you for this! this confirms he is not real. He should pay for fooling people and using God’s name for his wickedness.
I just met this exact guy 3 days ago, with a very identical story.
Luckily, I learned my lesson from my first scam, that I didn’t fall for this guys.
This guy is reported all over the internet.
Ige Jamiu is his real name, he lives in Nigera.

here is another website talking about the same scammer.
I agree.. this guy does need to be stopped. I’ve already reported him to the FBI and FTC.
I have just been talking to this guy for a little over a week. Tells me today while on business in Turkey he was robbed and that the burgler’s smashed his daughter Mary’s head in the hospital and that she needs $800. I’ve had my suspicions on him honestly since I first talked to him as I could not find crap on him when performing a google search. Also I noticed he had changed his location from CT to OH on match. Thank you for verifying my suspicions. I plan on reporting him…people such as him should be locked up. Oh, btw he now goes by the name “James Miller”. I am so glad I never caved in and gave him cash.
one last note, his current email is: [email protected] and his phone is 5126607417
I have reported him to Match.com and to the FBI just now. This man will be stopped!
He posted an ad on Craigs List for a fake job.12/17/14 for a personal assistant.
Wow good thing I did a search on his e-mail and found this. I applied for that personal assistant job on craigslist. Thank you guys
I just responded to that post on craigslist, by talk2james27 . Im concerned now cause he got my resume which includes my address …. what to do?
Yea I only put my city and state on my resume and he had asked for my address for the job position (talk2james) before reading this post I had already told him I am suspicious this is a scam. I been through this years back any job that starts with I’m out of town and blah blah is usually a scam.
Pretty much had the same story with me. His daughter got sick and spent all of his money on her doctor bills. Wanted access to my bank acct.
Yes I went through the same kind of stories, I finally told him I cannot and will not send any more money, he would then send checks with large amounts on them. I would not cash them until they cleared, He was real upset. The first and last one was fraudulent and I didn’t do anything with the money and when it bounced the bank assumed I was a part of the scam and discontinued my relationship with them.
