Met a guy named Andrew Lam thru Alex, another account on pof - screen name Alexander889. Alex wanted to introduce me to his friend Andrew - Kalifonia123, I believe that they are involved in the scam together, alongwith a 3rd character named Brad (who claims to be a lawyer).
I have done my research in the last 24hours and found out that almost everything that this guy Andrew claimed to be & have, is a lie. Only now do I see the signs of what a con artist would be like after suspecting him to be one...
He talks about his wealth & profession (to the extent that it is to good to be true) and has repeatedly tried to gain my attention by making me think he had the resources to help be me wealthy. (which I never bought into - but fell into) My mistake for deciding to go with the flow and check it out anyway, thinking I was on top of the situation and aware of my surrounding... Nothing to lose as long as I don't give out my information that can potentially lead into losing my money; so gave him the benefit of a doubt.
Throughout the text conversations, he has repeatedly sent me images and pictures of what were his assets and shed immense light into his personal background and his family background.
Little did I know, that these images were pulled from google images...
On the actual first date, nothing was out of the ordinary. I did have a gut feeling that he may have some sort of personality differences with me, but that was it. On the second date (which was may26) he took me to USC to pick up an application from a friend of his and to show me the building that is being built by his family at USC. Afterwards, we had plans to go to a fashion private party at his Ritz Carlton home, which turned out to be a fake. He had asked me to bring my Hermes accessories and bag, which is about $8000 to get photo opt from the fashion event, as the sponsors were Hermes from Vanity fair magazine. All lies.
When I showed up, he had asked me to leave my bag in the car, underneath the trunk compartment because I can't take the bag inside the building we were about to go into and it would be unsafe to carry it. So I did. And later, he accidentally locks his keys inside the car, and claims that he can later open the locked door via the assistance program via phone. We go to meet his "friend" at USC which he never showed up, only two hours later, to find out that the car was "burglarized" because BMW assistance had "accidentally" unlocked the doors prior to us getting to the car first. My 8000 purse was gone.
He refuses to tell me now why he had disappeared for long periods of time in between, making me think he had gone to meet up his "friend"...
He doesn't tell me which building he had gone into to meet his "friend"... He refused to do a police report.
BUT luckily, I did it anyway. For theft on my property.
He is extremely bothered by that.
I also, asked him to take me to Ritz as planned... And wanted to now check if he actually owned units there & to see if the private event was real. Nope, neither were true.
He doesn't answer my questions towards these interrogations about discrepancies to his story and his plans.
BUT he continues to contact me... Because he know I have filed a police report.
I am continuing the investigation and will wee what happens
