Hi I'm Wikus Gerber, i'm currently in contact with a scammer, what do I do?

Hi wikusgerber, welcome to Scamwarners.

If you could post some of the details of this person we should be able to provide you with some information and be in a better position to help you.

If you have been contacted by a scammer, the very first thing is to cease all contact with them immediately, if you have sent money, there is a very slim chance that the scammer hasn't picked it up, contact Western Union immediately and cancel any transactions you have sent, sometimes in a very small number of cases you may be able to beat the scammer to your money.

Before posting about your scammer, please take a look at this thread;

Hi wikusgerber.

It is a definite scam. Please cease all contact with this scammer.

The telephone number used is a UK redirect service to any cellphone worldwide.

If you have any questions or concerns please post - we will help you all we can.

Undoubtedly a scam wikusgerber.

As soon as you see the 44 70 phone number then that's a clear indication that you're dealing with a scammer.

44 is the UK dialling code but when followed by 70 that indicates that it will re-direct the call to anywhere else in the world. It's used by people who want to hide their real identity and location, which is not something an honest person would need to do.
