Can you forward to me the E-mails from chrissidwell41@gmail.com?

All I really need is the first three or four E-mails along with the ones where money was requested and the bank details were sent to you.

I am trying to stay calm now

I was just about to write you baby

And now I have Run out of options.

I am in tears here baby. I have never been this way my whole life. I feel embarrassed have to ask people I shouldn't for help. I have always been the helper.

I feel embarrassed saying this darling but I don't have a choice now as I have to race against time. Can you loan me the amount and you will get it back as soon as I am sorted.

Do you have the money. I will pay it back once I am sorted love.

How much have you got darling?

It would have been but not anymore as I am no longer attached to any Company

Can you take another loan for me love. This time in your own bank

Will it be possible??

Honey every thing would amount to about $85,000.

Yes I do. Everything is included

Chatlog with the fake diplomat:

Mon, 24 May

Hello I am done dealing with customs this morning. You have to pay a non inspection fee of XXXXX for the package.
Get the money ready soon and message me so I can instruct you on how to forward the money. Time is of the essence.
I will be waiting.

Here is the account details:

Bank Name : Zhejiang Chouzhou Commercial Bank.
ACCOUNT NAME: R. T. L.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: NRA1565214201050000XXXX
COMPANY ADDRESS: Kowloon,
SWIFT CODE : CZCBCN2X
BANK ADDRESS: Meihu gym No.299. Binwang Road Yiwu city, Zhejiang , China 322000

Reference for Payment: Payment for spare parts.(Alpha CP)

I will be waiting for the receipt of payment now. Ensure their is no further delays.

________________________________________________________________________

Wed, 9 Jun

Madam, I have no choice but to inform you about the exact situation now.

Due to the delay we had arranging the sum, the box was scanned and the officials found out that it is money on the inside. It was tough as they started raising terrorism and money laundering accusations but then I have managed to clear all that with them. Now it is demanded that I must pay a tax of 5% of the sum before the box is released. They actually asked for 10% but I have managed to get it down to half although it was a huge struggle. The good news is that the box was not opened and will not be opened. so they can only go with the documents I have presented to then. Luckily the document they saw was showing $3,564,000 so I am to pay 5% of that sum.

I know this is bad news for you. It is for me as well but then it is what it is and we have to face it.

The best we can do is to have this finalized immediately to avoid any further complications as they assured me that box would be released with no further hindrance once we can pay the said figure soonest.
I am still discussing with the man in charge especially with regards to quick payment so that what happened the last time would not happen.

I would continue and conclude my discussion with him.

I will wait for your message.

Here is the new detail:

Beneficiary Name; F. G. I & E
Beneficiary Account No; 8002000000938XXXX
Swift Code; RCNHCN22
Beneficiary Address; Guangfo Automobile City, Nanhal Foshan china. Beneficiary Bank; Guangdong Nanhai rural commercial Bank Co. Ltd
Beneficiary Bank Address; No 26 North Nanhai Da Dao Guicheng.

Can money still be wired today??

Was approached by this man on Tinder january 13th 2022. He used the name ROBERT SIDLER. He pretended to be a Process Engineer on a Fortes Oil Rig in the North Sea. He tried to convince me his engineering project was failing and that due to he was unable to access funds in his business account. His business and reputation would be damaged if I didn't help him. I did not pay, and called him to let him know that I had figured out he was a scam. he used the phone number + 44 791 560 0754. E-mail: dr.robertsidler@yahoo.com.
He says he is an Norwegian- American. His mother from Alta in Norway. Both parent dead, single child. lives with his one, trusted friend, Jonathan, in Trondheim (Norway). Says he has a house in California. He lost his Wife (Flora) in canser in fall of 2012. Has been single since. Turnes out his morther is alive, they both live in Britain (seems true, his phone is registred there). Speaking with him on Viber (where we were communicating) today, I told him I had seen through him, and knew he was a scam. I asked how ling he has been doing this, he said 14 years! This is what he does for living. I hope that posting here will stop others from losing money in interaction with this man.

Thank you for the update, norsk. Glad you realized what is going on.

he was unable to access funds in his business account


If he gave you a link to his "bank", that link will lead to a fake website impersonating a bank. Can you maybe post that link here?

His business


Same story. If his "business" has a website and he shared a link to that website with you, can you please add it here as well?

The phone number +447915600754 is a mobile serviced by Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. It may be registered in the UK, but that doesn't mean the scammer is in the UK.

Any money he asked for would go to a potential mule account - meaning other victims of scams unaware about the fact that they launder money for a scammer. Any details about the money receivers you can add would be highly appreciated.

Reporting the scammer is the right thing to do. The additional details you have and share may save someone else soon.

the bankadress he used was: http://gapsbridgetrust.com/office/home
His business


Same story. If his "business" has a website and he shared a link to that website with you, can you please add it here as well? He did not give me a web page. but told me he had worked for Turner Constructions for 15 years. That he now was a private consultant for Ocean energy management (BOEM) in the US. That he was working as an independent process enineering conractor where he and a team og engineers revamped and upgraded the existing systems and protocols on this Forties Oil fiel in the North Sea. He wrote this in his first elaborate text to me, after we had switched from Tinder to Viber. He claimed to be new on online dating.

The phone number +447915600754 is a mobile serviced by Hutchison 3G UK Ltd. It may be registered in the UK, but that doesn't mean the scammer is in the UK. I see, well I guess there are many ways of hiding where you are actually staying.

Any money he asked for would go to a potential mule account - meaning other victims of scams unaware about the fact that they launder money for a scammer. Any details about the money receivers you can add would be highly appreciated.
I never got to the point where he gave me an adress to wire money. But I helped him log into "his" bank account to helo him pay the purchase of Rig Engineering Materials which he had ordered to fix the problems on the oil rig. Because he was in Aberdeen, and he had to actually be in Norway (or USA) to acsess the account (security reasons). I agreed to do that, and logged into this bank: gapsbridgetrust.com/office/home. Obviously this was to show me how much money he had.
Then the money was supposed to go to:
Beneficiary adress: Shandong China
Beneficiary City: Shandong
Account name: Shandong Seaco ME Co Ltd.
Bank Account no: 402713xxxx
Amount: USD 1 083903
bank swift code: SPDBCNSH336
then the message came from the bank: "You are not eligble to make transfer, kindly contact the customer service. So he (Robert Sidler) says he has to contact his accountact to figure out what this is. He learns that there is a court restrain on the fund beacuse of his uncle has gone to court to get some of the inheritance from his father. He had been building up to this in previous texts and things he had told me. So then he had to sell stocks and Bitcoin, and he alsmost had enough to pay the bill... So then he start so ask around to get help. And in the end there is the amount of USD Dollars 26 000,- that he needs to cover it. And he ask me to loan him this amount. I decline. He accepted. Apollologized for asking. Then later in the day we talk on the phone and he tells me it´s not about the money any more, but about me not trusting him. And since he showed me such trust with letting med log into his bank acocunt, why should I not trust him? He also said that he realized he loved me, and he was so afraid of losing me through this ordeal. Not knoeing that saying that made him more of a scam for me, beacuse I find that so unrealistic. But, I must admit that he is VERY convincing in his emotional approach. Very empathic, very good listener. So sad that it all is a fraud and nothing real. In the very beginning I felt he was to good to be real, he convinced me he was, but then of course turned out to be very mych not real
