Miguel Jose Ramirez AKA Michael Jorge Douglas

In September 16, of 2012 I was contacted by a man named Miguel Jose Ramirez on an online dating website called How about We. When he contacted me he informed me that he had seen my profile online and although he was over seas he wanted to get to know me better being that he was to return to the states in couple of weeks.

Over the past few months we have chatted online through emails and instant messaging through Yahoo AIM as well as through text messaging and phone calls.
He stated that he was born in Majorca, Spain on the 31st day of January 1965. His family came to Duluth, GA immediately after his birth. But his uncle in NY later took him in and raised him after the death of both parents, at the age of 7. He claimed to have lost his dad when he was 6 years old; from a heart attack during surgery. He lived with my mom in Duluth for another year and was taken to NY when she died. He claimed that his uncle never married or had children. He stated that his uncle was an artis, art collector who is currently in a nursing home in Italy due to dimensia. As per his personal life he stated that he was previously married and that after having two children with his wife- a set of twin girls, now age 10- his wife had an affair with his best friend while he was on a business trip. After catching them together they divorced. Shortly after the divorce his best friend and his wife were involved in a car accident where she died and his best friend was left paralyzed- one of his daughters was also killed. He now has raised one child who he calls Kathy as a single father.

This man claimed to have lived in Anchorage, Alaska, St. Albans, NY and Houston, TX before he had to leave for work in March '08 to Africa. He indicated wanting to visit Africa because of the ties his late father had with the oil-rich region. According to him his father was a Petroleum Engineer and did really well (financially) for himself while he was alive.

He stated that in March 2008 he went to Africa for a joint construction project among the West African states. The construction of new homes and renovating the old ones for orphans and the less privileged. According to him The project covers five (5) different countries in West Africa; Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Ivory Coast and Benin Republic. Funding and appraisal was being taken care of by the Nigerian Government. At the time this man was corresponding with me he indicated that he should be out of Nigeria in a couple of weeks, and that the project shouldn't have take this long but because of some unforeseen circumstances, and the bad weather there has been some delay. He indicated being at the last country, which is Nigeria. He indicated just tying up some administrative loose ends and that it should take a couple of weeks before he gets paid 3 million dollars by the Nigerian government.

During our correspondence, he stated that he was interested in moving back to the United States California state but had to wait for payment from the Nigerian government. Over the past few months he claimed that the payment had not gone through because he was waiting for the government to complete an inspection of his work and they had not done so as of yet.

On Friday, December 28, 2012 I was looking for information online about him to find out if by any chance this man was a fraud. I used Google image search uploaded several pictures he sent to me while we had been corresponding. To my surprise all of his pictures tagged a male British model called Andy Young, the link to one of the pages is: http://www.sourcemodels.co.uk/31977/Models/Male-Models/Andy. According to several modeling agencies Andy Young is currently modeling. At this point I continued to do some more research on the internet and came upon a several websites which verified that he was in fact a fraud.

https://www.facebook.com/shawhoool#!/shahul.habeeb.14?fref=ts. Because one of the women stated that he found her through Tagged.com I also went on that site to see if I could locate him and I did find him under the name of Jorge D. The link to that site is: http://www.tagged.com/profile.html?view=mini&uid=6729112690.

After being confronted with all this information, he obviously denied any wrong doing, although he admitted knowing the women who posted previous allegations. Be aware this man likes playing victim, alleging that he has no money and likes asking for loan, claiming that once he gets his 3 million he would pay back.

At this time I am not sure if this man has been doing this for many years or if he is new at this. There are several other scams that have been written that are similar but the names and pictures used are different and it is very difficult to figure out if he is the person behind them or if it is other people. I am attaching all of the pictures that he has sent to me. In addition his telephone number is:011-234-802-602-1822 and 011-44-759-800-5378. His email address that he has been using to correspond with me is: share33al@gmail.com and his Yahoo AIM acct is: shar3al@yahoo.com. He also uses Midavell@gmail.com

I highly encourage every one who has been scammed by this man or is currently in contact with him to report him to
