Feeling like one of those trolling threads.

Definitely a troll thread. Which is what makes it so meaningful.

Filed the report on https://www.ic3.gov. Will contact also Dallas police where the bank is at. Really useful if you can track down where thesw people work or social media - Carol Vickers and Lindell Jan Vickers. I understand my mistake but irony is not at this moment what I need.

He said it was his wife account . He also gave me video of the watch and passport and his face(I thought). He actually said my name on video , and set the time and date and everything. Please help.to track down Lindell von Vickers or Caroll Vickers. As they have the money”

In my case (Thanks TRF) I could contact the lady that owns the bank account where I wired the funds to, and inform the Spanish police about that.

How could we find more data from This guy “Carol Vickers” with the address above? I do not know how you managed to know where was working the lady of my case (Dawn)

Call Austin police? You have a face and an address (of a bank account he has access to by relative or theft of logon credentials).



Someone with the last name Vickers is or was at that address.

For what it's worth, this thread will make people think twice about wiring money to people with different names.

Dreadful news.

I hope you manage to recover the money, if not then I hope you've learnt an invaluable lesson.

Well... austin police said they can t do anything because it s international and to file with my police. It will take a month a minimum for somebody to really do something. So money is 99% lost. Any of ypu guys staying in the are to go to the bank ? Try something ? I ll give reward if you can do anything to recuperate the money.

This guy looks like the stereotypical villain in a Liam Neeson movie.


So just to get this straight, you saw this photo and felt 100% confident to wire your hard earned money to an account that’s not his? Lord have mercy.

This thread is a masterclass in trolling.

This reads like a John Grisham novel- more twists than a bag of pretzels.

To my very untrained and novice eye, the picture of Mr. Vickers (aka Igor the clown) appears to be very photoshopped/not real at all. That Schwab screengrab also has something about it that just looks off.

Not sure if this is some elaborate phishing scam, or if this is real evidence of a multinational wire fraud scam, but I have to admit I am addicted to the thread.

Austin and Dallas are about 3 1/2 hours apart, by car, so that’s confusing.

The police will capture him. Bank documents falsification, lot of people involved, lot of money scammed.. but a file has been issued with detailed information. I hope with such a high amount scammed, he will stay some time in prison

Love his Rose Gold IWC 7 Day! I’d buy it from him but don’t want to flush $15k down the toilet.

You'd be surprised and there are likely several other victims.

Good point — sounds like there could be several others. Definitely worth a call!

Have one of the American victims contact the FBI. I wouldn't contact a foreign intelligence agency personally.

If we repeat this a few times, Google will pick it up when someone searches his name.
