James Hocuh

I was friended on Facebook by this man claiming to be James Hocuh. We were talking through private messages. He said his birthday is Feb. 26, 1962. He claimed he was a widow; has a 21 year old son, named Jeff, who is in the UK attending school. His mother and sister are suppose to live in the UK too. His father was a physician, who passed away when he was young. He said that he was originally from Germany, but now lives in Chicago, IL. Said he works on a container ship and travels around the world. We have been talking for a few weeks. He claimed that he was working and that when he got to Ghana, he had money there and left the ship to get his money and return to the US, because he was in love with me and couldn't stand to wait any longer to meet me. The only problem was, when he went to collect his money, he had to pay a large sum of money up front for some type of court fees, to get HIS money. He asked me to send him $1200USD, but he would pay me back when he was with me. Lucky for me, I am not very trusting and Google searched the photos he sent me and found that he is listed on another scammer website. He has used numerous names with the same photos. Some of the names he uses are: James Hocuh, Terry Fredrich, John Fredrich, James Borgenson, Larry Wells and Michael Ford. Ladies, stay alert! We have to look out for ourselves and each other.
