About Us and Our Mission
Pig Busters was officially started on July 4th, 2008. A day we like to call
Independence Day From Scammers. Our Mission is to increase scammer awareness
and warn as many people as we can. Since our beginning, we have accumulated
10's of 1000's of scammers and the list is growing every day.
Pics are not the real scammers
Unless noted, pictures shown are not the actual scammers. They are
innocent people that most likely don't know they are being used by scammers.
If you find your pictures listed & would like them removed, please
Contact us & we will be glad to remove them &
also let you know where we found them being used by scammers.
Scamming is a BIG Business
Scammers net millions if not billions of dollars each year world wide. IC3 reports
that in 2009, Americans lost almost 560 million dollars to scams. Scammers take
advantage of honest, hard working people looking for people that are lonely or
recently had a tragedy in their life and play with their emotions.
How could I be so stupid
After getting scammed, many people ask the question "how could I be so stupid".
The answer is, you're not. Scammers learn how to play on people's emotions and
especially their concern for others. They will take as long as they think they
need to gain your trust then the so-called problems they encounter will suddenly
begin.
There are countless suicides because someone believed they were loved only to
get very emotionally hurt and/or lose their life savings
Do these scammers look like they care?
Do not end up in jail
Every day, innocent people end up in jail and have criminal records for life because
they did something illegal when they actually thought they were helping someone. Cashing
bogus checks or money orders then sending that money overseas is a crime whether you
are aware you are committing a crime or not.
Warn your friends
Scammer awareness is the only defense we have against these criminals. If you are on a
social network or dating site and one of your friends is on the friends list of someone
you know that has been verified as a scammer, please tell them or let us know and we
will tell them for you.
A thank you from the terrorists

Dramatization - We give big thanks to the web sites that allow us to flood their
site with our fake profiles (you know who you are). Your disregard for member
safety & your hunger for member numbers to boast about enables us to reach the
1000's of innocent peoples we scam so we have more money to terrorize the world
Comment Rules
These are not suggestions, they are required and are strictly enforced
You must or to post a comment. After signing in, you may post your comment as "Anonymous"
We have a ZERO tolerance for showing a lack of respect for other Members, especially referring to scam victims as
stupid, ignorant, idiot, etc. This is cause for immediate deletion of your account with no
warning or notification. Please be respectful towards others
Regardless of what you may see on web cam, Skype, etc. the people in the pictures are NOT
the scammers so please be respectful and avoid personal attacks, name-calling, vulgarity,
or offensive comments including the scammer and especially the pictures as they are innocent
people and in most cases, do not know their pictures are used by scammers
Do not post addresses, phone numbers, company names or anything that is considered
personally identifiable information. A scammer may have a US phone number today but an
innocent person could be assigned that number in the future. Post phone numbers like
this 555-555-xxxx hiding the last four numbers
Do not post comments of a sexual nature or content of any kind
Due to spamming, comments with links to web sites will not be posted
Do not post the same comment on every scammer profile using the same pic(s). Post it only
on one scammer profile
If you violate these rules your comment will be deleted and if you continue to violate
the rules your account will be deleted with no warning or notification
Never trust a phone number
If someone gives you a phone number starting with 4470, it is a link number that
connects you with anywhere in the world, but not to a real UK number. Link services
are also available with U.S. area codes so never rely on a phone number for a true
location.
The Scam Police
There is no such thing as Scam Police or ScamPolice. Cashing fake checks/money orders
or receiving products then reshipping overseas can be a criminal offense. The
REAL police can't do anything to scammers, so that just leaves you to take the blame.
From mass emails to web sites
About 30 years ago, the only way scammers could operate was through mass emails. In the
mid 80's, they were called "Yahoo Boys" as opposed to "scammers". Today, scammers have a
much better way to reach more people on a more personal level through social networking
and dating web sites.
A Special Thank You
All of us here at Pig Busters would like to acknowledge and give special thanks to those of
you who support this web site and its mission to increase scammer awareness by your positive
comments, sharing your experiences and reporting scammers to us so the information can be
posted to warn others.
Mean, cold and heartless
Like the terrorists above, scammers are not the "nice guys" they make themselves
appear to be. When they don't get what they want from you, they can be very mean
and many times threatening. Usually threats are their last attempt to try and
intimidate you into sending them money.
They love you then need you
Scammers will tell you they have fallen in love with you within the first
few messages or chats. They want to come be with you but all of a sudden,
some crisis happens and they don't have the money, can't get to the
money or for some other false reasons, you are the only person that can help
them.
Chat with me
One of the first things a scammer will do is to try and get you away from the site
to chat with them on instant messenger. Scammers try to work very fast in most cases
and IM is much faster than conversating through emails and web site messages.
Read my profile
One of the biggest advantages scammers have is that many, many people do not read
profiles. They get so taken by that "good looking" guy or girl who sent them a message,
they immediately focus on communication without even looking at the profile.
I want to send you a surprise
NEVER give your personal information to anyone you meet on a social networking
or dating site. These days, it is just too dangerous. If you are talking to
anyone who does not understand this, that should be a big red flag. Even if
they want to "send you something, a surprise". This is a very common tactic
used by scammers to get your information.
I want you to do me a favor
Another thing that is very popular with scammers is that they will want to send
you items like clothes, shoes, cell phones, lap top computers and many other
items. They will then want you to repackage them and ship the items to them so
they can resell them. Don't do it. The items are always purchased with stolen
credit card information.
About the social and dating sites
Pig Busters is not on any of the social or dating sites and are not a member of any group
on the social or dating sites. We do have old profiles on some sites and the sites refuse
to remove them but we are not active and cannot even access the accounts. If anyone contacts
you from a social or dating site or a group on a social or dating site claiming to be
Pig Busters, it is not us. We have Members of You're IT! and Scam Busters on Pig Busters
that help by reporting scammers to us they find on other sites but we do not use the
sites in any form to promote You're IT! or Pig Busters and we do not promote or
recommend any social or dating web sites.
Try not to get so wrapped up in a picture of someone that you ignore inconsistencies, flags and warning signs
He says he is an staff sergeant mechanical ingenieer in the army serving in Afghanistan now, and wants to retire in 4 months. He wrote I am half American and Half German, My mother was German and my Father was American..I grew up in the united states and i have a home there, I am an Engineer by profession but i work under the united states Government in Afghanistan at the moment, I am a staff sergeant, that is my rank at the moment in the military..I have been divorced for 6 years now, i was married to an american woman and had a son with her, my sons name is Jordan he is eleven years old, i`m here looking for a serious relationship and i want to get to know the person very well before we take things to the next step.He is very charming and handsome, and send me pictures of him in uniform and casual, his room and his person gun and outfit. On the outfit is writen "Patrick" which is his first name, i wondered and asked he said it depends on the rank and the work you do. I met him on a what seemed to be a safe dating site. The things he said in the beginning where believable, stationed in Belgium Mons and in Germany Bamberg He didn`t asked for money or even didn`t talked about sex. He even made a story that a recruit he was training got killed last week and he felt guilty. I spoke with him by skype but no cam of course. M
What makes me believe he is a scammer is the lines he use. A woman who can express what she`s thinking/feeling and is willing to take the effort to build a relationship founded on truth, love, understanding, passion, and commitment. That I enjoy sunsets, fireplaces, etc. is a given...that I embrace so much more is for someone special to discover. I`m deeply romantic, sensuous and passionate with that one special woman.It`s been a while for me to experience all this beautiful things i`m telling you but that is what i`m looking for and hoping to find that with you. Is what i read typical for a scammer. It`s to bad cause i liked the guy on the pictures. I confronted him with little things and asked for the APO mail all military have, now he doesn`t reply anymore. His name is Patrick Kent Morgan. I am happy i caught him on time but anyway i would never had send him money
