FAKE ENGINEER


THIS MAN IS MUCH USED IN ROMANCE SCAMS ONLINE... HIS PICTURES ARE STOLEN, YOU ARE NOT TALKING TO HIM, JUST AFRICAN SCAMMERS WHO WILL ASK FOR MONEY.

Also children's pictures.. these are stolen from people who accept their friend requests and from going through their friends lists.

Got exact same e-mail from Engineer Michael Carles [c.michael231@yahoo.com] on 11/19/2018.


Received this email from Michael Carles
sounds like the same person.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your swift reply. I wish to inform you that the total cost has been accepted. And we are willing to make DEPOSIT payment immediately to secure the booking and also to submit the booking receipt to our insurance company. I have concluded all payment arrangements and I've been authorized to pay you for your services...

I have also made a quick arrangement for the services of an English-Chinese speaking Guide/Translator who will be with us during our stay as my Chinese colleagues are not eloquent in speaking English language and he will also assist us with some reservations, such as, International & Domestic airfares, Personal & Travel Insurance, International & Local Transfers and Visas to enter the country, Transportation (car hire), etc;

PAYMENT PROCEDURES:

Payment will be made with my credit card because all funds for this booking have been credited to my credit card and I'm presently working on a project in the Gulf of Aden (drilling offshore in the rig), also known as the Gulf of Berbera is a gulf located in the Arabian Sea between Yemen, on the south coast of the Arabian Peninsula, and Djibouti, Somaliland and Somalia in the Horn of Africa. Therefore, the only means of payment that will be possible for me from here will be via my Credit card.

The terms are 50% now and 50% few weeks before arrival. You will be authorized to charge from my credit card 50% DEPOSIT for your services plus US$9950 for the translator, I really need you to make the charges for the Translator/Guide as he does not have a credit card facilities (POS machine) to charge my credit card and I trust that you will handle my credit card details CONFIDENTIALLY.

You will charge US$9950 (translator fee) plus 50% DEPOSIT for your service, WHEN THE MONEY IS REFLECTED IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, DEDUCT YOUR MONEY AND HELP ME SEND THE BALANCE TO THE TRANSLATOR to enable him make other arrangements as explained above. I understand that you will pay a surcharge/tax to your credit card company on the amount of the transaction and I confirm that I am willing to pay the surcharge/tax or fees involved in the credit card transactions.

I would like to assure you that your balance will be paid to you on or before few weeks of arrival.

Please confirm the charges as below:

1. Your 50% deposit for your service....=

2. Translator Fees.....= US$9950

3. Bank% charge on card(surcharge)/Tax....=

4. TOTAL.....=

Confirm this and provide me with the following information:

-Your Company full name/address

- Name of the Contact person

-Direct Telephone and fax numbers

I will send you my credit card details when I receive your confirmatory email, so that you will charge as agreed and authorized and I also hope our visit will be a memorable one.

Looking forward to your reply. I hope you have a POS machine in your office and what type of card do you accept for payment?

Kind regards,

Engineer Michael.
