charging money
I am Alex. I have a terrible feeling I am being scammed by a woman named Sandra I met online last March 20, 2022. Even though I did video chat her and have proof she is the woman in the picture, I need to know if she is the real deal or a real scammer herself. She asks for money and I keep being told by her she uses it to get food and gas to come but I need help knowing if she is telling the truth or just lying.
Desired outcome: I would appreciate meeting her face to face and ask her to explain herself and I would like an apology face to face in person.
I am Alex Dungan from Doniphan Mo. Sandra lives in Myrtle Beach Sc. I did video chat her and see her face but I need help figuring out if she is honest or a Real Catfish herself
Purchase goods on internet
On 24th September I purchase goods on a website named "wodify"
which was a referral from "Pinterest"
Wodify web site is extremely professional however I cannot make contact with them as they state that deliver is within 7 days from payment...
I believed that because it came via "Pinterest" it would be legit...
The contact is still on "pinterest.com" but I feel that it is a con...
Desired outcome: Do you have any record of Wodify ?
A catfish who took me for a lot of money -- posing as special forces in Marines
This man asked me to friend him on Facebook. I did it as he posed as a very handsome Dr. - named Michael who I found out later was an actual doctor in Australia, but NOT the guy who was talking to me. He said he needed to keep his true identity private so I would not expose him as he was undercover on a mission in North Korea. No one believed this but ME, of course, and he was so good and so convincing and had a reason and explanation for the 2000 or more questions I asked him. After 5 months, he managed to extort 139, 777.00 out of me by saying he was going to marry me when he came home. We'd have to buy a "military ring" which cost me 42, 568.00, he lost his phone which I replaced at 5600.00 and gave his 2 coworkers 7, 000 for the use of their phones until he got his. Then his friend (or it may have been just him) told me that he fought him, went to military jail on that base, only ate once a day and he called me crying from jail saying he was going to die. I sent another 56, 000 to get him out of jail. He conned me and called me almost every day for 5 months and was so smooth and so convincing I believed him. PLEASE HELP me find this man.
Desired outcome: To find him and get my money back asap. But they could be fake???? Please help me

singles website scammer
Noel Peters and I made contact via a singles website. After lengthy communication, I made a trip to the Gold Coast of AU to meet him.
He seemed like a very industrious gentleman but perhaps not someone I would want to marry. However, we continued conversation and I ultimately invested in Millettia Tree Farms. Thinking it was a good investment since my boss had started one of these in Mexico, I thought everything was ok. (current info for Noel Peters: PO Box 6822
Cairns. Queensland. Australia. 4870 n [protected]@live.com.au
His son lives at:
263 Lake St.
White Rock. Queensland. 4870
Australia
However, I would never produce paperwork. After sending some $140, 000
in increments of small amounts, I started to become quite suspicious.
Even tho he put my name as Secretary on paperwork which I confirmed via phone with the AU authorities, he still would not produce paperwork.
In 2015, I visited AU again with a girlfriend to act as verification we met
with him. After a week in Cairns and meeting him a number of times, I
left without paperwork.
Is there anything I can do to warn others, as I doubt it is impossible to
get any money back. Would love to put this person in jail in spite of the act he is in bad health as evidenced by our visit.

public deception
R.KELLY is a scammer, according to a website busting online scammers. Its either R.KELLY is truly a scammer or the website itself is a scam. So many false, libelous and racist publicity on the site which is outdated in this century. why will a website publicly deceive Americans? Why libel my favorite RnB artiste? The saddest part is if internationally renowned and popular musician could be falsely libeled to deceive us all for extortion and financial gains, how much more innocent people? The world should take note of this goof. Pigbusters is scammer owned website disguising and need be shut down after which law enforcements agencies shut down their co scammers as well trolling the internet.
copyright violation, identity theft, family spoiler
My personal information, name, email and photos are stolen by one website named "PIGBUSTERS" unlawfully without my permission. I've never been on any dating website but this website opened several fake profiles with my information to scam and talk to their fellow scammers. This is barbaric. They ruined my entire life and family after my kids saw my information on the website. Many other people's information are on their too. Over 500 pages of stolen pictures and data. They encourage their occultic members not to tell you about their devlish acts. I attach few screenshots and you all should take actions, tell others you know before they ruin your lives and families.
unethical behaviors/white collar scammers
The website run by Jeff Hoffman and co are bunch of quack wannabe attention seekers. They violate laws ranging from harassment, copyright infringement, extortion, character assassination and defamation, racism, theft, public deception etc. The sad part is when you email them to correct their illegal actions, they tend to publish it on their website calling peoples bluff and acting as if they are above the law. No wonder, godaddy shut them down. How reliable is a website who steals innocent people's pictures on facebook, hijack peoples email, catfish for money and post as scammers on their website? Are you that heartless enough for attention seeking? when has an email address been a yard stick to spot real scammers? Well, thanks, pigbusters for tagging me as scammer. You are BUSTED telling the world CHRISTINA MILIAN is also a verified Internet scammer. Hope she doesn't get your ### sued... LIARS
the real scammers
THE REAL SCAMMERS ARE THE PIGBUSTERS. I first heard about a website called pig busters in 2010. Although it claimed it was founded on July 4th, 2008, it has been around even before then. I was fascinated by the team's dexterity in clamping down online romance scam and this led me to join the pig busters' team. After working with them deeply over years, I left because THE KNOWN REAL TERRORISTS' FINANCIER AND SCAMMERS ARE THE PIG BUSTERS. Pig busters started out as background fake profiles creator on dating websites which included Tagged. I'm sure you all know about Tseng of Tagged and his child porn case. Tagged has over 80 percent fake female profiles. 30 percent overall fake profiles are created by Pig busters. It might have increased as at today. Well, I bet you don't know that. You wouldn't have believed that about Ashley Madison too, not until recently the hackers and former employee also exposed them, making waves for new analysis to reveal over 99 percent of their women profile to be fake. With these fake profiles generated by Jeff Hoffman and his pig busters/ Scam busters team on Tagged and all other dating and social media sites, they were and still swindling millions of dollars of hard earned monies to finance terrorism with their partners in Africa, Middle East and over the world. One of the owners of the largest bogus profiles online/ dating sites as at today is Pig busters team coupled with all the fake profiles on their personal dating website 'you'reittoday dot com'. I created hundreds of them while with the team. After public outcry about high scam rate and bogus profiles on Tagged, Pig busters came into public scene not as fake profiles generator this time but as fake profiles fighter and online scam police in a strategic ploy to trick the public and already fed up users of Tagged in a bid to keep their continual effort in perpetually scamming, eating deep the economy and victimizing lonely hearts especially women seeking true love online. Jeff Hoffman with his scam busters team reportedly started the website in a show of defense after he was arrested for conspiring and working with terrorists and scammers in Africa and beyond by initiating, cashing fake checks and wiring monies to them all over the world. He is one out of the thousands of contacts these terrorists and swindlers have in the states. Well, he lives in Texas. Pig busters team work by telling you to report to them email address you suspect to be scam. You do that and in couple of hours/days, they post their findings and also the real face of the scammers. Wow, that's magical I can hear an internet novice say. But it's simple. After giving them the email address, they troll social media mostly facebook, twitter etal as they believe all social media with an hit of the email you enlisted with them with African, black and non-white is automatically the real scammer especially if his/her location is Ghana, Cameroon, Malaysia or Nigeria. But if not that, they continually harass the profile owner. The Internet police you call them! Moreover, if the email address doesn't exist on any social media, they go another step ahead by creating profile on several dating websites that doesn't send a confirmation link to emails. When this is done, Pig busters post the alleged profile as the scammer's profile on their website. And in the process of that, it violates Intellectual Property right of the victim as his/her pictures and info are hijacked randomly in creating the alleged profile in order to further indulge in their criminal actions. All these are cover up ploys for their dastardly act of scam and terrorism. Cloning of profiles is a common practice by pig busters. They create a similar profile to yours, tagged it as a scammer profile. They even go ahead to add your friends, impersonate you, demand monies, paint you bad all in efforts to continually libel you. Have you ever sent monies to any of your supposed stranded or distressed friends? You just fell victim of pig buster's tactics in supporting scam and terrorism. Extortion for picture removal is also the Pig buster's style of raking in more monies for their illicit acts. They tell you to contact them after stealing your content including pictures online and then publish on their site without your consent as the true copyright holder. After contacting them, they demand you pay $9+ with promise of telling you where all your pictures are being used by scammers. They already created profiles with your pictures and just after you pay, they take down and send you the links of where they (pig busters) have been messing with your intellectual properties. Months after, your pictures get listed on their site again and when you again contact them, they demand for more monies to take it down .There are many search engines like Google- image search and tin-eye to track contents and even pictures online and then file a DMCA. Then you wonder, why demand monies from copyright owners? To fund their cohorts around the world and to continually victimize innocent people. Defamation and Libel of many innocent people mostly outside the states is also the norm. I created hundreds of fake profiles on PIGBUSTERS website using male and female pictures stolen online of Africans. It's believed Africans are easily believed as scammers and good for business. Go daddy, who was hosting them, can attest to DMCA notices they received about pig busters not until recently their webhost name was hidden. This is because it will be hard for people to get their stolen content removed except they pay them. But I guess the site is hosted by Unified Layer. Unified Layer is a reseller of hosting services from Hostgator. File for DMCA takedown and don't let pig busters rip you off. And you can still file a lawsuit against them which you will comfortably win. There is a cycle trend pig busters follow to operate: create fake profiles online, catfish, scam victims, publish the fake profiles they created even on their site, continually scam victims by telling them to pay for their content/pictures removal and defame the helpless Africans, Indians to mention a few, they steal their pictures. Well, many other countries IPs are blocked from viewing the site. Majority of them doesn't know their pictures are on there. Popular music artists, Doctors, Teachers etc in other countries are listed by Pig busters. When your website content doesn't violate the law, then why hide who is hosting you? Busted. Its business and a win situation for them as their main objectives are to get innocent peoples' funds, fund their partners in crime and terrorists all over the world. Don't put up with the pigs. BEWARE OF JEFF HOFFMAN AND THE SCAMMERS CALLED PIG BUSTERS.

It still baffles me though, that after 2 months, no pigbusters representative on here have addressed/debunked the complaints of Reviewer72444 and Reviewer91608 on this forum taking into notice every single complaints made on here overtime has been tackled by @pingpongball, @loveroflife442 and @SWEETAZMAPLE71 . is it that carol_556 complaints are legit or what? are pigbusters representative not viewing Reviewer72444 and Reviewer91608 complaints? are they just shying away from the truth? millions of reviewers including me are waiting to hear what pigbusters has to say. Till then, fingers crossed.
The scammer(s) claiming to be various different people posting negative reviews about pigbusters are so openly fake. The poster is using various names to post the same comments/posts over and over. Pigbusters must have outed a scammer and they are now ticked off...oh well...things happen like that when u are online ripping people off, toying with their emotions and in general wreaking havoc on innocent people's lives. Scammer are evil, cold hearted manipulative criminals and their posts are almost word for word from pigbusters main page re: info about scams and scammers. The poster offers no proof or provides any solid evidence to back their ridiculous claim. Pigbusters is a world renowned site used by the Dr. Phil show countless times and have exposed hundreds and hundreds of scammers, as well as helped thousand upon thousand of victims worldwide.
HOGWASH! SCAMMER POSING AS LEGIT COMPLAINER DEBUNKING PIGBUSTERS.NET which a real authentic site used over and over by the Dr. Phil show. Not sure why this person(s) is slandering the good work the volunteers at pigbusters do or what they intent is however they are the real scammer/fraudster and their lies are so outrageous they are laughable.
I’m not getting any response from a pigbusters Representative because I’m trying to at least post the scammer’s picture and name that is being used which is probably fa fake name to see if I can locate them or someone recognizes them to assist me in getting them brought to justice .
here is a hint. ask for a video chat. if they do not show their face, It's a 110% scam. Scammers hate to show their face period. I once talked to someone i thought was a woman named mercy johnson. but it was a nigerian man who actually did show me his face one time. i was very surprised he did. but in march of 2022, i got a notification from the same woman who i thought i spoke to but her real name was Sandra Smith. i asked for a video chat and she video chatted me

If your image and good name was slandered by pigbusters.net then why did u not file a lawsuit or contact law enforcement?

Pls click the following link from READERS DIGEST magazine attesting to the realness of pigbusters.net http://www.rd.com/advice/relationships/how-to-avoid-online-dating-scams/ As for your claim of harassment, impersonation and identity theft once again WHY have u not sought legal advise or contacted law enforcement scammer?
harrasment
I am a current member of pigbusters. The following message was sent to me by Pigbusters which supposedly is an anti scam site, however, I believe that this message indicates to me that they also are hunting other groups calling them "scamweenies" and harassing them by the use of foul language. I am resigning from Pigbusters.
MESSAGE SENT TO ME BY PIGBUSTERS
"The following is an e-mail sent to you by an administrator of "Pig
Busters".
Many new warning graphics have been added and we are currently working on a
new sound warning.
Scamweenie update: The scamweenies are up to their old tricks as usual.
Tagging non scammer profiles, trying to cause problems for others, posting
inaccurate information, vulgar & offensive comments and now they are even
tagging their own members as scammers. Just when you think they can't get
any more unorganized & childish, they do. What idiots & ###s!
Thank You from Pig Busters"

Scamweenies - Toooooooo funny!
Nice one Pig Busters!
Dictionary.com defines "weenie" three different ways. I refer you to definition number 3:
Slang . an insignificant, disliked person.
To Pig Busters, scammers, spammers & trouble makers are "insignificant, disliked people".
It's very easy to falsely accuse someone of "hunting other groups" and "harassing them by the use of foul language" without providing any proof whatsoever.
There have been those who have set up fake profiles on one particular social networking site claiming to be Pig Busters members and posting very vulgar and offensive comments to try and discredit Pig Busters. We have set up a profile on that site so others can verify who is a member of Pig Busters. If you see someone claiming to be a Pig Busters member posting offensive content but they are not on the "Pig Busters Members" profile friends list, they are not Pig Busters members.
I am a member of Pig Busters and know that fowl language or inappropriate comment posts are not tolerated. I don't believe you received that message from the administration at Pig Busters and need to check in to it further.
Anyone who received that email from Pig Busters is in a group called "No Access". That group is for spammers and trouble makers that constantly try to sign up in the Pig Busters Forum. The comment "they also are hunting other groups calling them "scamweenies" and harassing them by the use of foul language." is totally false. Pig Busters has a ZERO tolerance for vulgar and offensive comments posted on scammer profiles and those who do not agree should not be trying to sign up on the web site.
Pig Busters is a web site and forum dedicated to warning those on social networking and dating sites about scammers. We do it in a very professional and respectful manner and will continue to do so.
harassment
Approximately 3 months ago, I was a member of www.tagged.com
I had created a profile based on sense of humour. Shortly after creating it I received threats from a member belonging to the group SCAM BUSTERS (www.tagged.com/scambusters) and a site called pigbusters (www.pigbusters.net).
The threat said that my profile was fake/had fake friends and that it will be reported to tagged administration.
Since I set up this profile with NO ill intent, I was surprised at this! More so I was surprised that the reason of the threat was that because it included a friend who supposedly had many fake sites! I happened to be messaging this friend and he never indicated that he had such activities!
Low and behold, the next day I received a message from [protected]@tagged.com notifying me that they had deleted my account.
I was very surprised at this and immediately thought that this member had reported my profile and tagged.com deleted my account without investigating the matter! In my profile I had information that could have proved that my account was innocent. Even if my friend was indeed a faker, how am I supposed to know who is a fake or not? Tagged, in my opinion is full of scams and spam which makes you wonder about their real activity.
Pigbusters's website suggest that its supported by donations and also charges $9.95 for a support call service (http://www.pigbusters.net/CallCenter.htm), and for having email accounts with them.
In an email to tagged, I asked them why they had deleted my account and their reply was:
Hello,
Your account was removed as spam. We will not reinstate it.
Sincerely,
Tagged
Customer Support
I then sent them the following email:
Hello,
That is a big surprise as I never sent any spam! Did you check if my profile was cloned or hacked prior to making your decision? If not can you please forward me the spam message/s that I am alleged to have sent?
Thank you
I never received a reply!
CONCLUSION
I had joined pigbusters briefly to gather more information and from what I found, I have reasons to believe that tagged.com allows members of pigbusters to promote their website through comments they place on tagged.com and even have tags designed by them with the word "pigbsuters" . If one reads tagged terms and policies this is against their own regulations. Since tagged.com never investigated the reports against my profile I am lead to believe that they give Pigbusters an authority to regulate their site.
I find the action from both tagged.com and Pigbusters to be highly unethical if not illegal.
I am able to send more proof to support my complaint.
Thank you
Regards

THE REAL SCAMMERS ARE THE PIGBUSTERS.
I first heard about a website called pig busters in 2010. Although it claimed it was founded on July 4th, 2008, it has been around even before then. I was fascinated by the team’s dexterity in clamping down online romance scam and this led me to join the pig busters’ team.
After working with them deeply over years, I left because THE KNOWN REAL TERRORISTS’ FINANCIER AND SCAMMERS ARE THE PIG BUSTERS.
Pig busters started out as background fake profiles creator on dating websites which included Tagged. I’m sure you all know about Tseng of Tagged and his child porn case.
Tagged has over 80 percent fake female profiles. 30 percent overall fake profiles are created by Pig busters. It might have increased as at today. Well, I bet you don’t know that. You wouldn’t have believed that about Ashley Madison too, not until recently the hackers and former employee also exposed them, making waves for new analysis to reveal over 99 percent of their women profile to be fake.
With these fake profiles generated by Jeff Hoffman and his pig busters/ Scam busters team on Tagged and all other dating and social media sites, they were and still swindling millions of dollars of hard earned monies to finance terrorism with their partners in Africa, Middle East and over the world. One of the owners of the largest bogus profiles online/ dating sites as at today is Pig busters team coupled with all the fake profiles on their personal dating website ‘you’reittoday dot com’. I created hundreds of them while with the team.
After public outcry about high scam rate and bogus profiles on Tagged, Pig busters came into public scene not as fake profiles generator this time but as fake profiles fighter and online scam police in a strategic ploy to trick the public and already fed up users of Tagged in a bid to keep their continual effort in perpetually scamming, eating deep the economy and victimizing lonely hearts especially women seeking true love online.
Jeff Hoffman with his scam busters team reportedly started the website in a show of defense after he was arrested for conspiring and working with terrorists and scammers in Africa and beyond by initiating, cashing fake checks and wiring monies to them all over the world. He is one out of the thousands of contacts these terrorists and swindlers have in the states. Well, he lives in Texas.
Pig busters team work by telling you to report to them email address you suspect to be scam. You do that and in couple of hours/days, they post their findings and also the real face of the scammers. Wow, that’s magical I can hear an internet novice say. But it’s simple. After giving them the email address, they troll social media mostly facebook, twitter etal as they believe all social media with an hit of the email you enlisted with them with African, black and non-white is automatically the real scammer especially if his/her location is Ghana, Cameroon, Malaysia or Nigeria. But if not that, they continually harass the profile owner. The Internet police you call them!
Moreover, if the email address doesn’t exist on any social media, they go another step ahead by creating profile on several dating websites that doesn’t send a confirmation link to emails. When this is done, Pig busters post the alleged profile as the scammer’s profile on their website. And in the process of that, it violates Intellectual Property right of the victim as his/her pictures and info are hijacked randomly in creating the alleged profile in order to further indulge in their criminal actions. All these are cover up ploys for their dastardly act of scam and terrorism.
Cloning of profiles is a common practice by pig busters. They create a similar profile to yours, tagged it as a scammer profile. They even go ahead to add your friends, impersonate you, demand monies, paint you bad all in efforts to continually libel you. Have you ever sent monies to any of your supposed stranded or distressed friends? You just fell victim of pig buster’s tactics in supporting scam and terrorism.
Extortion for picture removal is also the Pig buster’s style of raking in more monies for their illicit acts. They tell you to contact them after stealing your content including pictures online and then publish on their site without your consent as the true copyright holder. After contacting them, they demand you pay $9+ with promise of telling you where all your pictures are being used by scammers. They already created profiles with your pictures and just after you pay, they take down and send you the links of where they (pig busters) have been messing with your intellectual properties. Months after, your pictures get listed on their site again and when you again contact them, they demand for more monies to take it down .There are many search engines like Google- image search and tin-eye to track contents and even pictures online and then file a DMCA. Then you wonder, why demand monies from copyright owners? To fund their cohorts around the world and to continually victimize innocent people.
Defamation and Libel of many innocent people mostly outside the states is also the norm. I created hundreds of fake profiles on PIGBUSTERS website using male and female pictures stolen online of Africans. It’s believed Africans are easily believed as scammers and good for business. Go daddy, who was hosting them, can attest to DMCA notices they received about pig busters not until recently their webhost name was hidden. This is because it will be hard for people to get their stolen content removed except they pay them. But I guess the site is hosted by Unified Layer. Unified Layer is a reseller of hosting services from Hostgator. File for DMCA takedown and don’t let pig busters rip you off. And you can still file a lawsuit against them which you will comfortably win.
There is a cycle trend pig busters follow to operate: create fake profiles online, catfish, scam victims, publish the fake profiles they created even on their site, continually scam victims by telling them to pay for their content/pictures removal and defame the helpless Africans, Indians to mention a few, they steal their pictures. Well, many other countries IPs are blocked from viewing the site. Majority of them doesn’t know their pictures are on there. Popular music artists, Doctors, Teachers etc in other countries are listed by Pig busters. When your website content doesn’t violate the law, then why hide who is hosting you? Busted.
Its business and a win situation for them as their main objectives are to get innocent peoples’ funds, fund their partners in crime and terrorists all over the world. Don’t put up with the pigs.
BEWARE OF JEFF HOFFMAN AND THE SCAMMERS CALLED PIG BUSTERS.
