Janessa Brazil

 


Where do scammers get their pictures from? Well, unsurprisingly, they nick them.


Sometimes they forget to crop the source from the bottom corner of the picture - so they send a picture of a pretty girl from a Lingerie catalogue with a link to the catalogue.  


Occasionally they don't bother to make up a new name, and re-use the name of a gorgeous pouting model girl on Instagram 


 Sometimes If you do a Reverse Image Search, it will find the source website.  


And sometimes I find all three. As in the case of Janessa Brazil, a Brazilian porn star. A lot of scammers use her pics, and a lot of guys fall for the scam


Here's her story

The Chinese Bitcoin Scammer

A pretty Chinese woman sends me a friend request.  She doesn't fit the pattern of the West African love scammers.  No boobs, for a start.   She seems pleasant enough, so I chat and wait for the scam to make itself apparent.   It's much more subtle than the love scammers.  In fact, to start with, if I didn't know it was a scam, I wouldn't be able to tell.  Eventually she gets to the point.  She has been investing in cryptocurrency and wants me to join in.   Yu Qing Ning is clearly doing well, but sadly my friend Josef Vissarionovitch lost $200k in a recent crypto crash (there's always a recent example of people losing vast amounts).  Miss Yu gives up and vanishes from my life.   It seems that Miss Yu isn't for real, to my amazement.  But I would never have guessed that she was a modern slave in a Burmese scam factory.  Check out this CNN exposé Here's where Miss Yu comes from

A Clone Calls

I get a friend request from a friend on Facebook.  Hi, she says, have you heard the good news?  It seems that she has been awarded $100,000 from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  Sometimes from some unspecified Federal agency that is giving out large sums of money to random people for no obvious reason (because hey, that's how the federal government works, isn't it).  And guess what?  I'm on the recipient list too! All I have to do to get my money  is send an email to some guy to register my claim.  She gives me the email address of some guy.  The deal is, I've won $$$$  and I send $ to register my claim It's a bit odd, because I'm already friends with my friend - how come she is sending me a friend request?  And when I look at her profile, it's all new.   So I check - and lo and behold, my friend is wholly unaware of having sent me a friend request today.  We report it to Facebook, and after a few hours the ...

Welcome to Scammerama!

There's a beautiful girl half my age who wants to be my friend on Facebook.  Oddly, despite being utterly gorgeous and a beauty queen from Brazil to boot, Ellie Zwonke has only been on Facebook for two days and has no friends at all.  And she has chosen me, fat old balding guy, to fall in love with and wants to share her life with me.  I suppose I must be irresistible to women?  I don't like to boast, but hot babes get in touch every day.  Models, students, fashion designers, all sorts of cuties.  Curiously, although they come from Florida, Texas and California in the main, they almost all now live in Kumasi, Ghana.  Now I've never been to Kumasi, but listen guys, the density of hot blondes in the population must be quite astonishing.  Now before you go on the Air Ghana website to enquire about tickets, let me share with you this photo of Elizabeth Sarpong: Elizabeth has another photo in her profile, and oddly enough, it...
