On September 10th, 2019 I began messaging "Mike" with the username "Fredman55" on Plenty of Fish. He was dressed in Army Attire and didnt initially respond to my messages until September 16th, 2019. He came on with very loving words and the relationship progressed quickly. Within two weeks he told me he loved me and after a while I started to feel the same. Eventually he asked me for money to send to his Aunt "Erica Villalobos" in Freeport Texas which I sent via Western Union in the amount of 300 dollars. I began becoming suspicious of his identity which I made very clear and he would call me, send voice notes and even once video chatted with me breifly over skype. Somehow the scammer was able to fake the video of someone else with me online. But at that point I believed him. I still had him investigated which revealed that his email that he gave me (
kylemike70@gmail.com) was found on several Nigerian Romance scam sites. He like to pose as military men, and usually uses the name Mike. I also sent him an additional 200 dollars on Western Union to Lagos Nigera, to the name Aladi Faith Anthony. I continued researching more about him and he would become very fearful of my searching and tried to warn me not to do it and would make me feel horrible about "doubting" him. After a while, I continued to bombard him with heavy evidence and as he realized I was coming closer to the truth, I was able to squeeze it out of him. He told me that he was not the real person in the picture whose real name was “Jordan Daniel Phillips" who works in the US Airforce, was once stationed at Hanscom AFB and is now in England, I think, and is a sergeant, his father is Gerald phillips. The Nigerian scammer claimed that he was from Nigeria but was born and raised in Barbados which explained his carribean accent that I heard over the phone. I think he said his father was Nigerian and mother was Latino. He said Erica Villabos in freeport texas was actually his real Aunt and apparently both his parents died. He also said he had fell in love with me and was scared of rejection. His messages always seem very authentic and he has knowledge about the military from his deep desire and failed attempt of joining the armed forces. In the past he also has posed as Martez Rogers in the US military as well. I fear that he will do this harm to others and I just hope to help them. I have pictures of him available as well and I will post as much as I can. His Skype address is: live:.cid.71bf6cc7211a9d63. His spoofed number is 512-758-4610 and he claims that his military address is
