Scammers abusing stolen photos of Chris Cortazzo

Unread postby StupidSarah » Thu Aug 02, 2018 6:34 am

It would seem that I have just been scammed by someone I met through Match.com. The name he gave me was Nickolas Fredericks. He has a LinkedIn profile (Facebook page) and a company website but the pictures of him - even ones on here - are actually pictures of Chris Cortazzo the US celebrity estate agent. https:/ /www.nine1sixlogistics.org. I've got a supposed copy of his passport and bank account screenshot. nickolasfredericks@gmail.com. I have literally just found out so a little shocked that I could have been so gullible.

He’s still around! Nickolas Fredericks. He’s messaging me now... same crap. Told him I was attending a conference in Oxford this week so I can meet him.
It’s only been a day but he told me that his PayPal had been hacked and he has had to come off Match.com.

Good morning . Weekend was fab regardless of us being knocked out of the WC. We
are all very proud of the boys.

Seeing as I have never told you much about myself, I would use this medium to and
also share a few pics. I was born in Gothenburg, Sweden but spent most of my
adulthood in SA as I moved to Cape Town for Uni. My dad was Swedish and mum is South
African. I lived all around the continent until I moved to the UK 4 years ago. I
relocated so as to be closer to my fiancée, who was British. I had met her 2 years
prior when she came on holidays to Cape Town. I lost her to an illness in 2016. Time
is life's greatest healer and I am proud to say I'm optimistic about the future and
ready to date again. I got Nando and Pepe a few months after I relocated here.
They've been my bestfriends through these trying times.

I am not your conventional Architect. I design and build roads, bridges and
subterranean pathways. I trained as a Civil Engineer but branched into Industrial
Architecture due to it only being practiced by specialists. Work has taken me on a
lot of travels. I spend on average, a-third of my year in The Middle East and
Orient. I have also had consultancy roles where I have proffered solutions on how
vandalisation of oil pipelines could be limited and eradicated if possible. I have
never been prouder of myself than the day I decided to become my own boss. It's been
a challenge but it has been worth it. This is my website

Home <http:/ /www.nine1sixlogistics.org/>
ww w.nine1sixlogistics.org<http:/ /www.nine1sixlogistics.org/>


I am not a smoker and neither do I drink alcohol. I am an avid traveler and I've a
passion for learning or seeing new cultures. I also enjoy long walks and swimming. I
play sports like tennis, golf and billiards in my spare time. I also engage in and
follow football passionately.

I like reading a variety of stuff mainly biographical and anything that's involved
with or changed the course of history. A captivating book makes my weekends and
allows me chill out. I enjoyed reading Saigon by Anthony Grey and Long Road to
Freedom by Madiba. I'm also a fan of the works of Mario Puzo, John Grisham and
Patricia Cornwell.

My favourite type of music is mostly those from Sub-Saharan Africa. My play list is
filled with Fela, Miriam Makeba, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Amadou & Miriam, Hugh Masekela,
Angelique Kidjo, Youssu N'dour etc. I am also a huge reggae fan. I like Bob Marley,
Lucky Dube, UB40 and also new music from Bob Marley's sons, Stephen and Damian. I am
not into movies that involve too much gore or meaningless violence. I like a good
laugh or something inspiring like Shawshank Redemption and Schindler's List.

Friends and family will describe me as a loyal and passionate person. I believe in
good morals and treating people for whom they are not what they have. I am sincere,
honest, loving and will always offer my shoulder for friends and family to lean on.

I am attracted to a good character and an interesting personality. The most
important traits for me in a woman are modesty, a good sense of humour and a loving
heart. I find intelligence appealing. If she's a good cook, then this is a welcome
bonus.

Voila! x

Good afternoon . I am sorry for the radio silence. I hope you're having a good
weekend? 'just wanted to let you know I arrived safely. I would have gotten in touch
earlier but I have only just gotten access to stable internet. It's as hot as
Satan's toenails here right now but thankfully the apartment has air conditioning
and a swimming pool. The on-board meals were terrible so I had to stop at a local
food court the night I arrived and also saw some of the sights.

You were in my thoughts mostly through the flight and will catch up with you later
or tomorrow as working on site today. TTFN x

Good afternoon . I hope you slept well? I am 7hrs ahead so it's not easy to
mail simultaneously or keep up via IM, but I will bare my heart to you with a few
words in regards what I want from life. I am an old romantic,so bear with me if this
sounds dreamy or fairy-tale like; I seek an angel who I will worship and adore like
a beauty goddess. A lady that will love me more, when I least deserve it. A lady
with whom I will make love to in a million and one ways, and whose smile will always
make my legs weak today, tomorrow and the day after. A lady I would love through her
pain, so she can experience joy and smile everyday. A lady whose scent and feel I
would love to wake up to daily, and strive to make her take a smile to bed at the
end of the day. I'm not shallow minded, nor a God that can create a being, and
decide who is fit enough for me, or looks physically beautiful to my taste. For me,
age is nothing but a number, in this search for my best friend and lover. Looks are
secondary to me, it's the personality and character that matter more. We will
definitely get aged and old, but it's the conversations and understanding between me
and my girl, that would make us feel everlastingly young in our hearts. The skin
might be wrinkled, or immobile due to physical ageing, but the love and sparkle in
our eyes will still feel like the first time. God forbid illness or accidents, but I
want to love and be loved in any state I am.

Life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change, when we
least expect; at such a moment there is no point in pretending that nothing has
happened or in saying we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not
look back. If we've been fated to meet via the virtual way, then we shouldn't ignore
our destiny. You might be the missing rib I seek, and I may be the one that
completes you till eternity.

Have a sensational day x

Good morning . I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you in almost 24hrs but been
very busy. Thanks again for the voice note and also for checking on up on me,
showing concern for my health. From the moment I heard your voice I felt a
connection to your soul. I have dreamt about you with eyes open for the last few
days. Virtual reality has been a pleasant surprise. I never knew a voice and
pictures could weaken me at the knees. But, even those we've known all our lives
have hurt us nor have we fallen in love with them even though you see them in person
everyday.

I hope to see you soon, then we hit off and we end up snogging. Kissing the right
lady would rock my world and thrill me to the very core of my being. I am hoping
this is a life long romance. When I wake in the morning I want to find my soul mate
beside me. When I go to sleep at night I want to wrap my arms around her, protecting
my queen from the world. Now that we have found each other, I pray neither of us
never know the empty feelings of loneliness again. You have made me believe again
and shake away the cobwebs of doubt. No matter what the future holds for either of
us, I will cherish and appreciate these last few days until the end of time, and
beyond. Sleep well and have a great day.

darling, I am so grateful that you are in my life. Your tender caring and
gentle ways; your strength, and your love for life have influenced every part of
who I am in these last few days. I am falling for you, VERY HARD.

Thank you for your support and for your love. Thank you for being so caring and so
kind. You make me feel like a prince. You treat me like a man longs to be treated.
You're so good to me, and I want you to know that these simple things, are part of
the reason why I admire you so, and why my heart beats so fast when you pop up on
screen.

I would say that I've always been a positive person and I try to look on the bright
side of things, but knowing you has brought me a joy that I thought had deserted me.
Life's just gonna be better with you in it. I can feel it! I hope that I will always
be worthy of your love and trust, and that I can be the kind of person that you
deserve. I know that I'm not perfect, but I will strive to be the best person that I
can be. You're worth it, definitely worth it. I look forward with hope and
excitement to the future we could build together. I can hardly wait!

The more I get to know you, the more I want to know, and the more I can't wait for
each new day, just to be with you, just to watch the sun rise whilst you rest in my
arms and to see the smile on your face. Every day, my feelings for you intensify and
makes me realise to a greater extent how much you mean to me. You are heaven sent
and a dream come true. xx

Subject: SOS
Date: 27 July 2018

darling, I burdened you with my dilemma because I see you as a friend and
someone special to me who's definitely a permanent fixture in my life now and in
future. It has never been my ingenuity that I will ever ask for financial support
from anyone apart from my immediate family or a loan from a financial institution.
If LLoyds hadn't blocked my account due to irregular actovoty from here, this
wouldn't occur. Desperation leads to quickness of thoughts and unplanned reactions.

God forbid, but if you are in pains, I would pray he heals you or transfers the
pains unto me. Even if it leads me to stop breathing. For that is nothing compared
to the joy and satisfaction the mere mention of your name brings me. If the roles
were reversed, I would help you without having a second thought. I love without the
fear of being hurt. The amount I am asking for is nothing compared to what I have on
ground and I am willing to pay back on or before the end of next week. I have been
having sleepless nights. As stressful and hurtful as people think LOVE and
RELATIONSHIP can be, millions of people are still wishing and trying to find a soul
mate everyday because it is the sweetest and priceless thing nature can offer apart
from the air that we breathe.

Sometimes, life just has her way of testing or stressing one's life before we find
everlasting happiness. I honestly understand that sometimes good things don't come
so easy but I just wonder why these is all happening. I want you to know that I am
not happy stressing you with this too. It took me a lot of courage and time to seek
this from you. I have self pride and I am not shameless. I know being shameless to
your partner is a sign of being genuine and humble.

I promise you with my whole heart and life that I will not do a runner nor hurt you.
They say behind every successful man, there is a woman. I hope you are the one;
although you won't be behind me but by my side. We will walk down life's path
together, hand in hand. Apart from me losing my sweat and investment, I could be
facing jail time in this backward and xenophobic country.

I hope I have made sense? x
