This is a conversation between a friend of mine and “me”, which of course is not me, but a scammer who pretends to be me.
I have labelled my friend’s name as “FRIEND”, and the scammers name as “SCAMMER”. This was done using Facebook messenger. If you see anyone on Facebook using my name and then also use words such as “Binary” or “option” or “Investment”, then it will 100% certainty not be me.
His Facebook profile reads as below – which is near identical to mine – except for the use of the words Binary Option Trading.

SCAMMER: Last weekend I was in Dubai.
FRIEND: Thank you for the confirmation. If you were not a fraudster you would have known the correct answer.
My friend knew I was not in Dubai last week, because I had spoken to him
about where I was. So now we know that:
I have 14,000 followers.
Some of you must have a presence on various chat rooms and other social channels. I rarely ask you for anything, but I ask you to help me fight this plague of scammers, who are abusing my name. Spread the word, please. Thank you.
