Gail Gaglar

Dating Scam Effort, Gail Gaglar, Match.com

Edmonton, London, China, Nigeria, California

Hi all,
May I introduce 'Gail Gaglar'. 'Match' profile name of edhonesey.

He has been laying the groundwork for a dating scam. How do I know this you may ask.... Well,,, he was emailing someone I know, told that person they were the only one 'Gail' is in correspondence with.

That person asked me to contact 'Gail' to see if he was legit... Guess what??? He's not. We decided to set him up to expose him. So, ladies and gentlemen... May I introduce Gail, scammer wanna be.

He has sent me EVERY email and picture he has sent the other person. Ahh.... there has been a small lag... Guess he needed it for the script....
Has told me he was at his home in Edmonton, while he told this other person he had just traveled from Edmonton to London. This travel was of course for consideration for a $1M contract either in China or Nigeria.... He preferred Nigeria because they speak English there...

Yeah, right.... He then sent me the SAME email. However, this email was sent to me, as he was telling the other person the contract had been awarded, and he has traveled to Nigeria.

He also sent me duplicate emails of previous ones, 3 copies of the SAME email... with the SAME 2 pictures attached... from 3, yes 3, different email providers...
email addresses of: emmagaglar@aol.com; emmagaglar@hotmail.com and emmagaglar@yahoo.com, and of course does not answer any questions. Well, he did tell me, when his 'profile' was no longer showing... that 1) it had expired and 2) that he took it down because he was emailing me. The yahoo account seems to be the primary one....
This is a copy and paste of his first email: Of course there are additional emails,,, they all say pretty much the same.... that he is 'perfect' all loving, Christian, etc...They get a little more 'progressive' in that he then 'presumes' that a 'relationship' is in place and how important it is to be able to lean on someone in case of a job loss, and that he intends to 'give' and 'receive' 100%, that 99.5 is not enough. Oh, also says that he can't dance worth his soul but would take lessons for a woman who can make him feel special... (Do you hear - see the foundation he is trying to lay here....?)

First EXACT email that the other person and I both received:

Dear XXXXX
How are you today? Thanks so much for giving me the privilege to have access to your email address for it's the easiest means to connect with you , I am so impressed and i 'm greatful..
I m in search of true Love and Happiness with the right Woman. I desire to shower the real Woman with lots of Love and Care..

I have traveled outside my country before on jobs and on contracts, I'm a Contract Civil Engineer to Belvalves and you can check out the company website, www.belvalves.co.uk .. I 'm a Canadian, I have a home in Edmonton and i'm currently in my home in Edmonton ,I'm a Christian.. I love to traveling ,seeing romantic movies ,best sellers ,dancing ,going to parties , working out in a while ,i enjoy comics ,playing scrabble game ,swimming ,riding bike .. I dont smoke ,i don't take drugs but i drink occasionally if needed ..

It's so nice to have you as a great friend,i hope and pray that we establish a long lasting relationship that will last forever... I need you to understand that it takes alot for two people willing to tangle to make a love connection, Life is about the journey not the destination, I am dependable and willing to go the extra mile for those that count on me. I want to find someone who understands me and lets me understand her. These are some of my pictures..

I want you to know that good communication matter's alot in a relationship, I will like us to always email each other.. Cos it takes two to tango,Take good care of yourself for me and i hope to see your email soon..
Gail Gaglar

(Remember he was telling another person at the time I received this that he was in London)...

So 'Gail', Good Try.
Is it me... or does his match profile pic not even look like the guy in the other pics..???.

Ok, not convinced yet...? Here is the latest...

Dear XXXX
ts a beautiful day here in London and i arrived London, Kent safetly and the flight was 10 hours 15 minutes and just got to my rented apartment here in London, i hope you still remember that my daugthers live and study here in London.. I have a coming up contract and i'm expecting a call to know if the contract will be awarded to me.. There are other people looking for this contract and i want you to pray for us about the contract because it will help us alot...

Challenges and opportunities are always going to occur. You can't stop them from happening. Hopefully for both of us, the changes in our lives are positive ones. The secret key here is having a supporting and understanding woman like yourself in my corner to help me through my ups and downs. If someone lose his or her job, it's quite a bit easier to bounce back when i have someone who's willing to support my choices and any new directions i might want to branch out to. If i want a career or lifestyle change, imagine the difference having someone who will carefully consider and support those changes? I hope that you will always support me no matter what happen , and i promise you that i will always be by your side...

Personal time and space are essential to growing individually. Everyone needs private time to do the things they want to do. It helps refocus attention to the priorities. Sometimes you or I, may just need time to release emotions from a bad day, instead of bringing it home with me. Learning to respect and notice when I need some individual time shows that we are committed to not only in our relationship, but our long-term happiness as well... Thanks for the commited you have showed me in this relationship...

I 'm glad we always write each other, because I might not be always on the line to chat, I hope you will be the one to show me true Love and Care... how I told you before, I will always treat you like a Queen. Its my first promise to you, I want you to know if you're looking for a razor sharp sense of humour that's me! If you're looking for someone who smiles and laughs a lot - that's me! If you're looking for someone to share good times and bad - that's me! Someone who is loyal, honest and true - that's me! A quiet night in...a walk along the beach... see places...do stuff...I can do that! Life is too short.. I don't do boring... I'm also happy

Love is obviously a crucial element in a successful long-term relationship, Take care and will send you more emails later...
Gail Gaglar

Ok.. and this was sent while he is telling the other person he is in Nigeria.

So.... Busted Gail....

Petitions that do not fall within the purview of the commission are sent to the appropriate agency, be it the Nigeria Police Force, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), etc. Members of the public can also send complaints electronically to the commission email address: info@efccnigeria.orgThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

I signed up with a site called Singleparents.com and was contacted by Gale. Some of the messages and pictures are identical. He said he was an engineer from Toronto area. I later found several more profiles to include Miami. A couple of times he seemed to respond to my messages but there were many times I would swear there were at least two others writing the messages.....grammar, expressions of speech, and even sounding romantic ( and you were at the end of the pier with your hair blowing and everyone was jealous of me asking if I knew you and I replied "better than I know myself"). I'm going through a rather nasty divorce so any nice words sound extra nice.
He was working on a pipeline in England and he tried to get me to call a couple of times. I wasn't going to do that as I was already suspicious. The next message was that some type of mixer machine/mixer pot was broken and he need 1,500.00 pounds immediately. My heart and stomach sank somewhat as I had been anticipating this to a degree. I reminded that I didn't have enough money to fill my gas tank let alone come up with anything like that for his business and "our future". I never heard another word. One moment it is an inexplicable love with unconditional support of each other and then it's silence when there is no money. I did send a final note saying I had suspicions and that I was disappointed to be proven right . I never heard another word and except for some email addresses still lurking in one email account I do not have any of the pictures or messages. I decided to use this as more fodder (my marriage being the base fodder) to follow my intuition. Should I get primary custody of my kids (oh, he said he had two daughters, he was widowed and the girls were going to school in alabama) I will have to rely on everything from wits to intuition.
Sure would've been nice if some nice words would have been true or at least original to each of the women he's trying/tried to bait......cut and paste is so not original!
I'm glad I found this site and that my whole experience has been validated.

Looks like this guy is still out there. How sad...He told me he was from Toronto but had to fly down urgently to Alabama to see his two girls just before we were supposed to meet. Same job, same 1 million dollar contract, same emails. He lost me at the "please call me to discuss which contract for 1 million dollars I should take as it will impact our future together." I was done.

Glad I wasn't the only one to fall for it but sad to hear he's still doing it to others.

This guy is still around I was involved with him from Dec 2014 to May 2015. All the letters written to all the other women are the same. The pictures he sent are the same. I have well over 500 emails, and over 600 text. I also have extensive Skype messages. I have even seen him on Skype twice. The man with the reddish hair in the pictures displayed on the site is the one running the scam. The pictures of the man with dark hair and the two girls is NOT the guy - his identity has been stolen and I have looked for him on different sites in order to warn him - I have even tried looking for the girls and the various women in hopes of letting him know he has a problem on his hands. I reported him to the FBI. With me he used the name Sean Hudson. All women need to report him to the FBI. It can be done on-line.
Hi Lyn:
Yes I had the same unfortunate experiences as you.
His phony company website:
www.hudsonoilcompany.eu.pn
His phony NatWest account:
http://natwestolb.newlondongp.com/wp/uk/en/internet-banking/secured/private/login.php
.
I have reported this creep here and to the fbi and romance scam sites.
This guy is still around I was involved with him from Dec 2015 to May 2016.
All the letters written to all the other women are the same. The pictures he sent are the same. I have hundreds of emails. I also have extensive text and Skype messages. I have even seen him on Skype twice as well. I didn';t think the man with the reddish hair in the pictures displayed on the site was the one running the scam: I was told it was Black Nigerians.
You say you know his identity? If so please email me at susanmiiller@yahoo.com. I was defrauded for a lot of money and need to bring this creep to justice.
Yes the pictures of the man with dark hair and the two girls is NOT the guy - his identity has been stolen and I too have looked for him on different sites in order to warn him - I have even tried looking for the girls and the various women in hopes of letting him know he has a problem on his hands. I reported him to the FBI. With me he used the name Hudson Caen.
I agree all women need to report him to the FBI. at ic3.org
This is what I sent ic3:
Reported to IC3.gov:
I met Hudson Caen on Christian Mingle. He claimed he was a widower with 2 daughters lived in Ohio, worked in Alabama and was going to Dubai for a pipeline repair project. We exchanged many emails. He sent several pictures of himself and his family. We emailed, Skyped and video chatted. He looked exactly like the photos he sent of himself. I loaned Hudson Caen, owner of Hudson Oil & Gas Services, a total of $117,000, payable to dealers and banks to assist with a "Pipeline Repair Project in Dubai" between October of 2015 and January of 2016.
These payments were sent to many different "dealer" accounts from October 2015 to January 2016:
1)M.S.A. Sales, Branch Banking and Trust Co., 37 S Broad St, Butler, GA 31006, Account #000524629864 ( sent 1/20/16)

2)M.A. Sales, Suntrust Bank, 25 Park Place NE, Atlanta, GA 30303, Account # 1000186175096 ( sent 1/4/16)

3)Jessica Anyanwu, Bank of America, 740 Mozley Drive, Smyrna, GA 30080, Account #334043603083 sent 12/18/15)

4)Kenneth Omatseye, Chase Bank, 610 Thornton Rd. Lithia Springs, GA 30122, Account #703689922 ( sent 10/29/15). His address is Brodick Hills Apartments, Lithia Springs, GA 30122

5)Nancy C Saulter,Capital Bank, 3090 Boiling Springs Rd, Boiling Springs, SC 29316, Account #260143423406 ( sent 10/19/15)

6)Kelvin Rich, Bank of America, P.O. Box 1811, Smyrna, GA 30081, Account#334048417356 ( sent 11/4/15)

Hudson Caen showed me a link to a Natwest account with over a million dollars in it, but has failed to remit any payment to me. He sent an email saying he would repay me and a demand letter has been sent to his business by my attorneys in February. He cites ongoing monetary transfer problems with hit Natwest account. Here is the Natwest account link: http://natwestolb.newlondongp.com/wp/uk/en/internet-banking/secured/private/login.php (passcode =05960695 and password =swone)
He showed me this account in October, 2015. When I asked him to show it to me again, he said it was "closed" by Natwest.
Please help me find out if this a dummy account setup just to swindle me.
Other information about him:
His says his birthdate is September 6, 1963
He claims to have lived at 1992 Memorial Dr. SE, Atlanta, Georgia 30317
