Robert Crutchfield Bob Crutchfield Nigerian Scam Posing as an Investor on Businesspartners.com Internet, California

This Scam artist is posing as a successful investor (Robert L. Crutchfield) on business partners.com.

He offered an investment in my company as a partner for thousands of dollars. Upon his initial interest i requested if we could initiate a skype call so as to authenticate his identity which i refused instantly.

After this initial refusal i became suspicious dragging him on to take as much information as possible so as i can locate his point of origin.

3 days later i ask him if he could call me having connected a trace unit on my phone to locate his service providers. Not to my surprise i found that it was a virtual company on the internet (bandwidth.com) that offered the phone service. So i contacted them and asked for details on the owner of the account, while doing so i ordered an IP trace on his email address as well.

The results were he lives in Nigeria, Lagos city and was a scam artist with a past history. If contacted by this person do not give him any details.

For your safety any time you are contacted by someone trace their x-originating IP address (you can find that by clicking on the options, source button in your email) using any free IP locator on the web to find out if the person is legitimate.
