There was a suspicion about this member, but I believe you are the first to come forward with actual information of his activities.

Another note...There is a thread in Eons Advisors titled Scam Alert. The title is in red. Please post your message there as well. You will need to jin this group as well to post.
On another scam a couple of days ago, they seemed to work a bit faster getting rid of the person, and I'm hoping it had to do with a message posted there.

I wonder if this is the same guy that tried to do the same thing to me. He stated he was traveler, he went be the name of Bobosy on Eons stating he was in West Africa, he was also a sweet and smooth talker and wanted me to give him my credit card. I also contacted Eons and Yahoo IM to let them know. I just blew him off and gave him a real hard time. I didn't go as far as you did as I didn't have all the info as you did. But I do feel better that he is off Eons.
These Nigerian scammers are all over and he/she/it will be back in another form. The scam is easy and they are catching people all the time.
Victims Still Falling Prey to Nigerian E-Mail Scam
Wednesday, November 29, 2006
By Cassie Carothers
Most people with e-mail accounts have seen the messages in their inbox.
The subject line reads “Urgent Business Request,” and in the body of the message a seemingly desperate person asks the recipient to help transfer money out of Nigeria and into the U.S. The message, in broken English, is sprinkled with words like “top secret,” “trapped funds,” “utterly confidential,” and promises a cut of the funds in return
Most people who get these messages know it’s a common scam referred to as the “Nigerian e-mail scam” — officially called the “419 scam” and also called the Advance Fee Fraud — and they delete them.
But others are falling for the 90-year-old trick, and it's costing them hundreds — even thousands — of dollars.
A name like "mattwant2luv".......and he's not sincere?....despite the flowery language?.....well I never!..... actually why would you need to check the hotel?.......these guys are all the same....there I'm stereotyping now (yeah, I'm typing with 2 fingers)
You need to contact tacomaboycares....he's the answer to questions that shouldn't be asked.
I am always amazed that ANYONE would fall for this scam...not only that but also you even bothered to check him out by checking his hotel registration!!! These men are as transparent as cellophane.
Well now, this guy has been hitting on me, without anything other than romance mentioned, but strictly IM. I thought he was unusually persistent, but he hasn't tried any other thing with me. Course I haven't responded to him since the first day, either. LOL
