Kelvin Huan - Facebook

Split from https://scamsurvivors.com/forum/viewtop ... 0&start=60 where the fake site used in scam, shiftexpressintl.com / Shift Courier Express is reported.

Before asking for money, the scammer befriended the victim online and said he wants to send her a gift as a sign of how much he loves her:

iPhone X, Rolex Oyster Perpetual Pearmaster, Gold Necklace, Perfume, Diamond Pendant 3.5 Carat, Wrist chain, Scottish handbags, Gold Ladies Wristwatch, and Security Box.


The "security box" was a problem, being blocked on the way by custom authorities, while the victim was asked to pay additional fees to receive it.

The scammer pretends to live in the USA, 139 E Abbout Grv, Orchard Park NY City.

Posted on behalf of the victim.

Today the cheater contacted me again and asked me to lend $3000USD to repair the machine.
His name is Kelvin Huan. He said his job is oil exploration. He obtained an oil exploration contract in France.

Kim Chou / James Madison - ConnectingSingles

Mon Feb 07, 2022 5:31 pm

Posted on behalf of the victim:

I was a victim and I send a lot of money to this person. I’m reporting this so he can’t victimize another. I send money via bank transfer, western union and money gram. I came to your site when I reverse image search even it was too late already. I had a relation with him for over a year. I met him on connectingsingles, he claimed that he is 38 years old, live in San Diego California. He is from Korea, name Kim Chou and James Madison in English name. He is using these pictures but recently I found out that it was a fake identity, the pictures he is using are from China and he stole the pictures from a singer named Madison Deng. I found out too late cause I sent already the money.

I met this guy back December 2019 om connectingsingles and his the one who contacted me first. After 2 weeks we moved to what’sapp. He used the number on WhatsApp +12817660511 that number the name he wrote Korea connect. He is using that profile picture with the cake. December 26 he told me he will travel to Turkey for business cause his shipment for trucks already arrived there. We messaged as normal everyday, then few days he didn’t messaged me. On January 2, 2020 he messaged me that he was robbed in Istanbul Turkey. He was using another number (+1660 474 0004) with the profile picture with his dog, the name he put there God is good. He told me that he can’t accept the payment from his customer if he he don’t have account in Turkey. Since he was robbed and he still on Turkey he can’t open the offshore account. At first I don’t like it cause I don’t want to be involved in any bad situation, but I don’t know why he was able to convince me. Then I opened an offshore account at garanti bank under my name, the email address he gave to open an account at garanti bank (service@garantibnk.net). He told me someone will send the payment in that account under Yucel construction, amount of 270k usd. The bank emailed me that the account was credited of 270k. Once the account was credited he asked to send money to Ekran Demir amount 50k usd. Since the account was on hold he asked a favor if I can send to Ofelia B. from Honolulu Hawai the amount of 4800 usd and he will pay me back cause he needs for the shipment and I send the money through transferwise on Ofelia account. This scammer claimed that he is the only child, his mom died 2 years ago. His mom name Jang-mi and his dad name Han-jun, he was migrated to the US when he was almost 13 years old. His dad remarried to an American woman and have 3 kids ages 15, 9 and 7.

Since the money was on hold on the offshore account, he asked me if i can send money to ofelia B. for the trucks shipment. I send money through transferwise and then he asked me again to send borrowed money cause be need to pay for his hotel in Istanbul amount 1k usd to thomas w. as he claim that was the manager on the hotel. The the offshore garanti bank emailed me that i need to pay for 0.05% for the tax for the amount of 270k usd amount of 1350 usd then i send thought transferwise to cemil c.. After i paid for the tax the bank emailed me again that i need to pay the 2% of 270k usd for wiring the money the amount of 5400 usd. I told him i dont have money then he begged me to pay. He pay only 1k usd and the rest of 4400 i pay to 2400 to cemil cetin d. and the 2400 to metin z. through bank transfer.attached herewith the email from the bank, the 1k usd remain he sent me that his friend will wire the money to complete the 5400 usd. Then the bank emailed me again that i need to pay 13,600 for money laundering and i didnt pay for that.


The victim sent almost 37k usd.

I send those money as he claimed that he need for surgery,medicine,court case. Never trust no one when it comes to money. People will take advantage of your kindness.

Some of the messages received:

It's OK baby, I'll try... You've been a
source of inspiration to me and
help, God knows the challenge I'll
face here and that's why he gave
me you name
Thank you for loving me


I love you so much baby... You
everything in me... I'll try to call
him to see if he can help OK?


Before he said I'm like a son to
him
I explained everything to him and
he said it's always like that with
Turkish banks and that's why he
stopped doing business in turkey...
But i should have told him earlier
before now, that he already
ordered for some goods yesterday
and has made payment...that he
can only help me with a thousand
dollar at the moment, that if | had
told him earlier, he would have
given me the 25k had I asked
earlier...


No I have to clear the goods and
send it to them first before I can
receive payment and it might take
the whole of next week, before
then your account will be activated
and I'll receive the money you sent
me...
Once I receive the money, I can
take care of every other expenses
myself... Like I said before, you've
done a lot and I thank you so much
for your help... You're worth
emulating...

Thank you honey,you can transfer
the fund back to your account
from my garanti bank i dont want
you to be broke incase of
emergency
Honey i dont really understand
why all the transfer you made,the
money will reach them by 2:30
same time for all of the while you
did that at different time...i'm a bit
confused here cos it ought not to
be like that.


OK but I can only raise 3k within
the week... We'll still owe 2400$ ..--
Can't they release the account
after I make the 3000 payment
then we can complete the
payment from the account?
Did you ask them? ...


Honey I've been sick and tired of
all this since last night
I spoke with him on Sunday
evening, he assured me he will
help me
Yesterday I went to see him,
hoping to receive a cheque based
on what we discussed, He told me
he already invested his money in a
business... I wonder why he will
treat me this way... has
I'm so frustrated right now...
I had so much to drink last cos I
feel so depressed and deserted...


I know baby,and thats why i'm
worried
You've already tried alot
Honey since it states that if we
make payment,they will activate it?
