Review Blogs on My Life on an oil rig.
Ask those in the same field of work detailed questions on Quora.com
Do a google images - reverse search.
Do a search on the phone # if a cell phone or fake google phone number.

How to detect a scammer:
- If he is too good to be true, then go with your hunch... FAKE PROFILE, Scammer
- Goes from 0-100 in less than a week
- Confesses LOVE, Wants to Marry, Etc. ASAP
- Claims to be religious, and admires that quality in you; but how come your favorite LIFE quote has nothing to do with scripture?
- Never asks for a video chat, can only txt on Google Hangouts or use of gmail
- Selfies are few and slow to come; always the same expression (not natural, candid shots)
- The moment you ask for identity confirmation - he won't or really can't supply, then the conversation ends
- A gentleman would be a gentleman even in the farewell portion, but they just go dark, radio silence!
- Copy and paste some of the romantic love messages, see if they are copying from Romance Dating BLOGS / word for word; the romantic messages differ so much from their normal choice of words, diction
- Is not a man of his word: I love you more (copy of blog post), all that i have is yours (why can't you give me identity confirm then?), I am never going to "loose" you
- "loose" is incorrectly used in place of LOSE
- Schooling in Sweden / But the schools website does not offer an engineering degree related to the field of work
- How were you able to take college courses in Swedish? Oh they give a 1 year language course. But in another convo: No, I don't have any skill for languages; then you research the school and all/most courses are taught in English.
- What real American says: American Born? Don't we say: SoCal Native, Born & Raised in SoCal, etc.?
- They didn't have any recollection of a city listed on their CMB Profile: Bell Gardens. When I asked what is in Bell Gardens, they had no idea what I was talking about.
- American Born (grew up in Florida) but uses "mum" vs. MOM
- On calls, voice doesn't match picture - American Born but slight Singaporean / Chinese / UK accent
- Sometimes English is perfect in Emails and Txts, then it goes crazy less educated, misspellings, poor grammar/punctuation and diction of a less educated person; these scammers work shifts, so sometimes a more educated American sounding txt, and then low educated txter comes on, you get a deep sense in your gut you are talking to diff people (aka multiple personalities)
- Travel / Work details vague, unclear, in the far-flung locations of the world Istanbul, then setting sail for offshore work on an oil rig out in the ocean
- WiFi is spotty, sometimes cannot communicate, CCTV's / Security protocols
- Due to security protocols, should not be communicating so much with an outside party; turns out CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED on oil rigs!
- Vague about where they grew up, never answers your questions, but wants detailed answers from you
- Asks very great thoughtful / quality questions, seems very gentlemanly in the beginning
- Send me a selfie touching your nose, touching your ear, send me a picture of your mom and you together / NEVER SENT, don't have access to childhood/family photos on this device
- Google Hangouts is all that is allowed due to security protocols
- Seeds you with thoughts about his financial situation: I haven't gotten paid yet on my project in Bristol UK, but I didn't want to mess things up so moving onto my next 3 week project in Istanbul Turkey
- Receive odd message after first long delay in communication in broken English, I slipped and fell into the ocean, almost lost my life, crack in my neck. I lost my ipad GOLD and my credit card. My bank in the UK locked me out. They need to confirm my ID with fingerprint, etc. I need to feed my "workers" but my anty and mum can't send me money right now. / How does this even make logical sense? These are not natural thoughts after having almost lost your life. I thought it was credit card vs. Bank in the UK? Why are there no financial info on file? Why do you need an actual credit card on an oil rig? (well it turns out oil rigs have 24/7 unlimited meals as a free service along with cleaning and laundry services too)
- Claims he had one of his workers txt for him after the slipped into the ocean bit. I asked, isn't it normal etiquette for such a person to introduce themselves, saying they are txting on your behalf?
- Alot of inconsistencies, making you feel like they are talking to many diff parties...
(What you don't trust me "again"? / The use of the word again indicates they caused mistrust with someone else, when red flags went up only once so far)
- Them asking you about your financial situation / Do you own any rental properties?
- Odd introduction of I want to know where we should invest our family assets / businesses? / Why do you have everything in cash right now? Yes, just sitting in a bank acct.
- Always vague about his day, work schedule, work flow. They claim they are always in the control room or in their room. (They don't get private rooms as space is at a premium on oil rigs)
- Get irritated easily when you question them, insists their version of events is true & correct (I am only talking to him, he must be talking to many people, b/c I am crystal clear on what was said, not said)
- Doesn't have an exact plan on when the face to face mtg will happen. Vague, 1 delay after another.
- You can do a google images search to see if they are swiping pics from a real individual
- You can do a reverse search of their phone # to confirm if it is a REAL CELL # or google phone #

CMB was great, and banned his profile.

Tip for consumers:
Meet up as quickly as possibly, confirm identity b4 you get too deep.

Their advertisements are fraud and fake. They say they don't let people continue if they are...
