Online romance scams often begin with friendly conversations, emotional attention, and promises of a future relationship. Once trust has been established, the person behind the profile may introduce a financial problem and ask the victim to send money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following profile was reported to Ripandscam<\/strong> by an individual who believed the online contact was involved in romance scam activity. The details below are based on the submitted complaint and the information shown on the reported profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scammer 1: Jesse Cox<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full profile:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.ripandscam.com\/scammers-jesse-cox-10542.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This report concerns an online profile using the name Jesse Cox<\/strong>. The profile reportedly listed Halifax<\/strong> as the location and used the email address jessethatboi@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the complaint, the person begins by sweet-talking the victim and building an emotional connection<\/strong>. Friendly conversations and romantic attention are reportedly used to gain the victim’s trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the victim becomes emotionally involved, the person allegedly begins requesting, demanding, or repeatedly begging for money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported reason for the financial request is that he needs money to repair his car so that he can travel and meet the victim in person<\/strong>. The promise of finally meeting reportedly encourages the victim to believe that the request is genuine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, after receiving the money, the person stops responding and disappears from communication<\/strong>. The promised meeting does not take place, leaving the victim unable to contact him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported profile was also associated with terms including Jesse Cox, Romance Scam, Dating Scam, Halifax,<\/strong> and Halifax Romance Scam<\/strong>. The Ripandscam profile displayed a Scam Danger level of 90%<\/strong> at the time shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case highlights an important warning sign often seen in romance scam reports: a person may develop an emotional relationship first and later introduce a financial emergency connected to travel, transportation, or plans to meet. Victims should be cautious when someone they have never met asks them to send money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also important to remember that photographs used by suspicious online profiles may have been copied from an innocent person. The report concerns the online profile and behavior described by the complainant<\/strong>, and the person shown in the photograph should not automatically be assumed to be responsible for the reported activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scammer 2: Fake Jason Momoa Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Full profile:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.ripandscam.com\/scammers-jason-momoa-10530.php<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Report:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This report concerns a fake social media profile using the name Jason Momoa<\/strong>. According to the complaint, the account posted a romantic message claiming to feel sad, confused, and blocked by fans, encouraging people who still supported him to make private contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report states that users were asked to click a Telegram link and continue the conversation privately<\/strong>. Moving communication away from the original social media platform can make it harder for victims to verify who they are actually speaking with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the complaint, this appears to be a celebrity impersonation romance scam<\/strong>, where the name and photographs of a famous person are used to attract victims and establish emotional trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once private contact is established, impersonation scammers may attempt to request money, gift cards, travel expenses, fan membership fees, personal information, or account-verification payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reported profile was also associated with names such as JasonMomoa56674, Jason Momoa Private,<\/strong> and Fake Jason Momoa<\/strong>. The Ripandscam profile displayed a Scam Danger level of 92%<\/strong> at the time shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report specifically warns that the real Jason Momoa should not be considered responsible for the reported scam<\/strong>, because scammers can misuse a celebrity’s name and photographs without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case highlights an important warning sign in celebrity impersonation scams: users should be cautious of unexpected private messages, unfamiliar Telegram links, requests to move conversations off-platform, and any profile claiming that a celebrity personally needs money or financial assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
