Jonathan Roumie

Totally a scam. I am 74 and only reply to texts/phone calls from people/companies in my Contacts. If anyone outside of my Contacts wants to talk to me they must leave a phone message. 

An update to this...she has now lost approximately $80,000 to "Jonathan Roumie".  She finally accepted that the one I wrote about above was fake..there was another one after that and thankfully a bank employee was watching out for her..but she is telling ne now she's talking to the "real" one and he even offered to put money in her bank account.  She tells me I am judgmental because I told her she is NOT talking to Jonathan Roumie.  I do not know what is wrong with hef!!

I've been scammed too, He ( fake Jonathan Roumie) asking me that he want to meet me, first time the fake Jonathan Roumie not the real, he said that he want to know more about me and want having relationship with me so I fall for him at first he said if I want to meet him so I must pay for VIP card only half money, the rest he pay for me so I thought it's real so I send money to one of his management team bank account  then after I send money, he's gone and delete his tiktok account, I'm so stupid, I lost my money and I can't tell my family 

Yes, right now in fact. He said he is in L.A. and wants to talk on Zang which is a huge RED FLAG to me..

Now she thinks she talking to the original real Jonathan Roumie AND his mother.  Also Kevin Costner is coming to get her in about a week and taking her to California and all his children are writing her too.  It's like parasites attaching themselves to her. She's taking out a $50,000 loan because Kevin says he's starting his own management company and she can be a partner for that amount but she will etc it back.  There is absolutely nothing I can say to convince her. She is so determined to live in lala land.  

 The answer to your question is yes I’ve been contacted. Sent me picture f drivers license also. I’ve seen same scenario sent to others. Wanted a personal relationship. Would text he was not  getting paid by chosen and didn’t have money to eat. They provided apartment and few benefits that he could barely survive. He is not married and has no children. He would ask me to send money so he could get something to eat. He asked me to invest $10,000 to put down on a house for the two of us as he wanted to marry me. He also asked me to get a VIP CARD so we could have a meet and greet. Your relative has most definitely or is most definitely been scammed. I just learned a really hard lesson my self when my son who is Deputy Attorney General, looked at my phone and saw telegram on there and was able to show me proof it was a scam. I know the hurt your relative is going through  because it makes you physically ill to think someone can be so nice to you and fill a gap of loneliness while sucking the life out of you. This fake Jonathan is one sick dude. To admit is makes you feel gullible and stupid when you finally realize how you could have ever fallen for something like that. He even convinced me to open an account for him in Australia for a contract he had with Starr media productions. Guess what. That company never did exist and neither did the southwest gateway bank where he had an account in my name. He faked the whole thing to make it look so real that I was his third party payee and was authorized to accept money on his behalf. I signed a contract and had to send a copy of my drivers license. He even posed $120.00to this so called account to verify accuracy. Once verified he deposited $170,000 in. The asked me to withdraw $350,000 from it to pay for our new house. When I tried to withdraw I got a letter supposedly from the bank stating that I owed, I owed $49,000 in Australian taxes before a withdrawal could be made. I didn’t pay it but did put some down to show a willingness to pay the tax. . Then I stared getting threatening letters from the banker telling me I only had so many hours in which to pay the tax. He also posted a big countdown clock on the email to try to force me to pay taxes. 

Update: 2 years later. Sister has literally lost everything to scammers. At 75 she's living in a room free with an old high school friend. She had a beautiful home on 13 acres of family land, a brand new Cadillac that then husband paid cash for, anything she wanted. She left husband for scammer..Jonathan after the Kevin Costner one didn't pan out.  She sold husband her house om family land and gave that money to scammer--about $300,000.  In divorce husband paid off bank loan for about $150,000 that she had given to Kevin Costner scammer. Currently she goes into overdraft at bank because she gives all money to JR via PayPal.  He also sends her money..one time $3000 cash from a 90 yo "fan". She then sends money to JR'S management to pay for a meet and greet with JR who will then come get her and take her to the house in LA that he bought for them. She has never seen house nor does she know address. She told him she wanted to be "surprised".  In the last 2 months she has been diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of bladder cancer.  She is to start treatments next week.  She said she's thinking about not having treatments and going to LA.  She will soon have no place to live because roommate is ready for her to go.  She asked ex if she could come to house and stay while she has treatments and proceeded to tell him what he could and could not do in the house.  He told her it wasn't going to work for her to come back there. She hasno boundaries and is very self absorbed. Btw, the Cadillac he bought her..she wrecked it and totaled it before she was divorced. She had an excellent credit score a year ago.  She recently got a letter saying it had dropped to 400s. Her life is a mess.  I worry about her, it's sad, but also frustrating because she is mean and has no brakes on her mouth. She thinks I'm jealous of her.
