Nikos Barnabas names involved: Femi Jones, Bukola Brown and Donald Lando

Possible New Identities for Nikos Barnabas

Lagos, Surulere, 01235 and 23401

See postings of 2006 and 1965
Additional Pictures also

I really can't say what is / isn't real, other than the parts that Nikosgirl and I confirmed about 2 different stories at the same time frames. I expect that there is a possibility this person may attempt to change his name and pictures. So, these are the different names and other pictures, in case he attempts to use any of these.

These are the additional names that were used in the money and package I sent to 'Nikos Barnabas'

via Western Union 'for Nikos':
Femi Jones
Bukola Brown
No 1023 Victoria Island
Lagos, Nigeria
01234

Package via usps express mail
c/o Donald Landon
24 Ekololu Street

Nigeria 23401

In the pictures:

Hi Karen,
So sorry this happened to you also. I did my post(s) to help prevent others from this.
Like Nikosgirl, when I searched, I only found the 'white page' listing. What a piece of work this man is... steals hearts, hope, love, and of course the $. No conscience, at all.
I will read you post.
Thank you for posting. I suspect there are most likely more, also.

I'm glad you did . . . I was about to do the same thing. When this started, same time frame as you, the only thing was the white page listing. He's good. I researched everything he said. He has enough details to make his seem true. I will post the pics I have. At this point though you have to wonder if its really him, and if it is, how old are they. I have to say, I did laugh when I saw the post of his "story" through god of "us". He even "cried", was still "crying", when I turned him down. Don't get me wrong, he did get me, but it was very short lived. Honestly, I would have done it for a lot of people, probably still will, but I will be a bit more suspect. I think of it this way, I gave with a full heart, kindness and humanity, he took with greed and evil. My belief, you give with no expectations, it comes back to you over and over. You take with malice and contempt, that also comes back to you, over and over. Its not about the person we believed in, its about the compassion we own in our hearts, which I won't allow him to change, or take away. I will post my findings in a bit so others will at least have the truth and use their money to help those who deserve it. Thank you for having the courage to post and save others from not only his game, but unfortunately what seems to be a "gang". I'm not positive, but I think the group picture posted has another gentleman who looks a lot like another encounter of the same scam. I get the feeling this is not just random, but a "business", and we are dealing with the "employees". Take care.

Hi Karen,
I agree with everything you said here. My take is that the more photo's the better, especially of pics more than him alone. I expect he / they will change the names / profiles used, but at least with our 'stories' out there, maybe we can help someone else think twice when the 'scammer' professes this 'true love'.
He 'cried' with me also, when I questioned him about the 'truth', said I 'hurt him to the bone' for not 'trusting'. I did very much question all the ways he attempted to turn it to me.. e.,g no trust, that in my questioning him that I had said horrible things, the day he would have to prove himself etc, that I had abandoned him. And the more I questioned, the more he looed for another 'angle' to come from. The more people who come forward with this, and other scams, the more there is a chance of at least informing those 'potential victims' of the risks.
Thank you for your courage also.

I thought maybe reading this may be helpful for others that they are not alone in this exploitation and betrayal. This is a copy of an email I sent to 'Nikos' in early February after I really learned 'the truth'.

I want to ask 'why', but already know the answer, because you could.
I want to tell you how betrayed I feel, but you won't hear it.
I want to tell you I deserve better, but you don't care anyway.
I wanted to know the 'truth' and now I know at least the most important parts of it.

Inside me, it feels as though you 'fed' on me, like a vulture, taking bite after bite.
It feels like you sliced and diced my heart
Stole my love,
Stole some of my faith in mankind.
Stole some of my hope.

I know God will heal these things in me.
I know that love, faith and hope come from God and He can and will restore all of this in me and more.
I take full responsiblity for how I opened the doors to you and the decisions, grounded in love, that I made.
And I acknowledge fully your responsiblity.
It is now extremely clear you exploited my, and others' love for money.
That you betrayed my trust, with no concern at all for the impact on me.
That you did all you could to elicit my trust in you, made promises you had no intention of ever keeping, for money.
That you would have allowed me to do as much as possible for you, even if it had meant my going into financial ruin,
With no concern for the impact on me, financially, emotionally, in trust, faith, love.
I pray for your soul, and if you won't let the light in, I pray for God to stop you from being able to do this to anyone else.
I pray for God to put barriers in your path so you can no longer exploit the beautiful innocence of true love, true hearts.

I had been praying, telling God I was ready to know the 'truth'. And then I found your 'old' profile. Prayers are always answered, one way or the other.

Thanks for your research Kaye. Wow.
I feel for the 'real' person in the pictures, Mr. Rae. I've sent him info, referred him here to this site, so he can post a 'disclaimer' on his website.

Wow indeed.

i met this guy (for the lack of other words) on match.com (his name now is fedor kallistos and he uses different usernames in match- i try to follow him and report to match but i think match should act about it) and yes he was so romantic and so supportive. he is now in TN. he told me a hear breaking story how his parents died when he was a child in Greece. he also told me a story how he is so broken because his love of his life died from cancer and he was so destroyed that he had to leave TX. he said that he is now in UK work on this big project of millions of dollar and things are going barely. he sold everything and he lives in apartment without heating. he cried and sounded hones. when i didn't believe me he manipulated me to believe that i am wrong to do so. we decide to forget about the money and we indeed forgot about it getting closer a month later he asked again and i broke and gave him the money. needless to say that we fought a lot about the money issue. the story is too long but all the posts are very similar word to word to what i encountered.

here is the info he asked to send the money:
Agent's name: Steve Brawal
Address: 1189 Victoria Island
City: Lagos
State: Lagos
Country: Nigeria
Zipcode: 23401
Tel:+2348090529581

Amount:2500usd.

Security question: Shipment doc for fedor?

Ans: Done

Agent 2

Wale Thompson

same Info

amount 2500usd.

same security question text and answer.

YOu will send me the MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number) its a 10digit on the reciept for each of them..and the detail of the sender's name(you) name as on the receipt and zipcode.

he is so good that he even continue to be in communication for several months later. until one time he stopped. needless to say that each time i asked for my money back he asked for more time.
