I have meet a person on internet. He was using another person pictures. The person is black, the other person in the pictures is white. He messed all my life.. I cannot sleep, eat.. do nothing. It is not normal someone to use somebody else;s pictures to harress people.. I want to find the person in the picture, to let him know that another guy is pretending to be him.
The pictures I understood he took from internet - pretended to be Collins Jones (fake name I suppose) and lieving in Manchester, UK. I try to find out more about the guy in the pictures, I just need some advise from you too.. maybe somebody can recognise him - it is also a kid in this pictures.

Thank you!

There is not much you can do since this type of misrepresentation is very common on the internet. How has this person messed up your life? Have you sent any money?

Yes.. I think he used even fake name to cash.. I am searching with bank now to see if they have any additional info.. I know I am foolish to believe in people.. I just wish I could find at least the real person in pictures to advise the ussage of his image.
I have 2 phone numbers also, but I cannot find on internet how to detect the persons: I can give them if you could help. Thank you for reply

Have you sent any cash to this person or is it that you suspect that they have used that identity to obtain money?

I have sent - with Western Union, on name he gave me Collins Jones, but he stated that his name is not this one, but onother one - this means he used fake id to make pick up.. guess.. I am so upset right now..

How recent was this? The next time he asks you for money, tell him you are sending it, send a VERY SMALL AMOUNT BUT DON'T TELL HIM and notify the Police of the fraud. At least in the US the Police will be standing there, waiting, when he attempts to pick up the money.

I'm a little confused - you need to show ID when money is wired. He has ID in two names?

Hi, the money were transferred 1 week ago.. I try to keep him talking to me.. the idea is I try to catch his IP address or any other useful data, but I am not really sure how best way to do that. I said I can transfer his some money to come and visit me.. I hope he will fall for this.. although I am not sure he will.. if he does so.. I will notify local authorities there.. I don't know how much they will care... it's not the US.. I am also a lot confused.. I keep on searching on internet of way to detect the IP address, the phone numbers he gave me, expecting answer from Western.. and searching for the guy in the pictures.. I was stupid.. that's the truth.. I hope I can at least make something out of this.. thanks for your advises.. if any new idea.. I am mostly interested.
