Identity Theft
|  +6 Mr This man calls himself Aron Johnson and sometimes uses Terry as middle name. He also claimes he is from Ontarion Canada and an Engineer working or worked for GLI Construction, but now doing restoriation wark in Greece. I suspect he is Greek and stole Mr Johnson\'s id as I have spoken to him on the phone and he does not have a Canadian accent. He scammed me out of £200, actually wanted more to apy some workers as he was paid by cheque for work carried out, but the bank could not give him the money. He also claims to come to the UK to open a small business. He contacts you trough facebook and starts loving you straight away. He is also on LinkedIn but knowwhere can you see any friends or any comments from anyone. Watch out, he sent me some very nice pics of Aron Johnson, plus the sites where he worked as engineer and copy of passport (but bearer signed Andy P... something and not Aron) and he also sent company id card, I suspect it\'s all stolen from Mr Johnson. He is definately in Greece as this is where I phoned him but do not have the mob number anymore.He also seems very professional on LinkedIn, but he is also using stolen id. |

This is a man of many names. From the Facebook URL he started off as Aron Jackson. Then Aron Johnson, then Aaron Johnson NOW he is Grant Baxter.
Please be very careful, this man who ever he is will start calling you ANGEL within the first few messages. Then he will start to make you believe that he is interested in being the only man in your life that he has fallen in love with you. Then he will say that he is coming to live with you, he is even willing to say in a hotel until you get to know each other better. THEN he will find some excuse to ask you to please send him some money. If you are slow for some or other reason he can turn a bit nasty.
Ladies please watch out this man wants your money not you.

Aron contacted me through facebook. Kept telling me how beautiful I am! Loved me from almost the beginning. Waited 2 weeks before telling me about the crisis of not having Cash to pay his workers. When they were paid, he needed to pay a part of the money he owed the hotel where he was staying. then he had to pay a fee for postponing his flight, he then had to pay extra for his luggage.Sent the flight number and all, then on the way to the airport his wallet was stolen, with the money for the baggage. So he missed the flight. Told me about the investigation into the stolen wallet.
He sent me the most beautiful poems that he 'composed for me'!
He also told me that he is Canadian, and that he has a daughter Stella, whom he loves very much and who stays with his mother, while he does contract work in Greece.Told me about Stella's ballet classes. How well she was doing. He had to stop chatting to me a few times on hotmail because his mother and daughter had called on the phone! When asked about his friends and if they could'nt help with money, they can't or won't, unless he gives them a share in his business. Not very nice friends!
How can authorities not trace this man? his telephone no and e-mail address is the same!
He contacted me on facebook under Gant Baxter's photo
Havent told him yet, I know its all a scam! Will play along for a while to see what the next move is!

He's getting in contact with your trough Facebook. Tells you your his woman and that he loves you. Within 1 week he askes for money. Hopefuly for him you'll send him the money. I know 1 in Germany and 1 in Holland. With me he wasn't so far yet and i got warned by these other women. When i confronted him with it, he ofcorse denied, then more or less said it was true but that he didn't get the money and this lady was jalouse that he didn't want her. No he is no longer on facebook and on the emails he does not respond.
We need to stop this man before more people get hurt.
