I also received a message from antonio logioia with the same phone number and email as you listed. His daughter is in Italy becoming a neuroligist! yeah, right..He had 3 pics on the Match site. One was of him standing in the kitchen, another of him supposedly cooking, and another was just a close up head shot. He is a very handsome man, but obviously a big scammer as well..Ladies beware!! If it sounds or looks too good to be true, it probably is!!

I too have been in contact with this scum bag.  His pen name is Robert Marco.  Email address robertmarco210@yahoo.com.  Same story. Vanguard Fund Manager.  In his initial email around Dec 18, 2015, he claimed to be from same city where I live.  But before we could meet he had to travel to a couple of cities in Texas, then the UK, then Italy to visit he very sick mom, Carmen Mendoza, who just recently died 12/13/15. Sue, he was emailing us both at the same time!   I knew he was a scam from the start, but I just wanted to see how he played it out.  I knew I wouldn't fall in love, and definitely I would not send any money.  There was a part of me that thought if I was taking up his time, maybe it would keep him from someone innocent that would play into his love letters.  The letters were too too long, and it was rare that he even commented on my letters and almost never answered my questions.  I finally just googled a couple of key phrases and I found one website that had every letter I had received up to his mom dying.  Once I wrote him about a close friend's father who had died and that I was so upset and busy with the family that I might not have time to email him for a couple of days.  He didn't even express concern or sympathy, just went on to write about his love for me.  Anticipating when  he would tell me about his dead mom, I sent him an email about a horrible winter storm with high winds in our home city.  Told hime my power was out and that I would have to stay with a friend.  Advised him everyone's internet was sketchy during this time and it would be hard to respond after this email  The next email was about his dead mom.  I haven't emailed him since Dec 13.  Can't decide whether to start it back up.  He hasn't asked for money nor set anything up as a possible lead to that.  I'm just curious how the money request comes in.  I'm using an email address that I created just for corresponding with him. Should I continue or not?  

Here's his last letter about Carmen Mendoza:
She is dead! She died this morning. I just got the call about an hour ago from my Aunt and my daughter. Wow! Carmen Mendoza died without talking to her only Son. It was just too bad of me not to be with her these last days of her life. I am just too guilty that I met her in the condition she was when I got to the hospital in Italy and could not stay with her more than two days; Just because of this stupid work? Just because am a fund manager! Managing peoples Fund. What sort of rubbish work is this? Wow! So mama is dead? I can’t believe this…

I get more scammers from Match.com than real dates.  I'll be writing Match yet again about this problem.

In my scenario, likely as well as with many others, the money request begins after the Dubai deal.  He requests to purchase the $11 million in shares using your name and info as his proxy; he then portrays himself to the company (Transword, Vanguard, Tn&T, Shell, blah blah) as acting your business representative, then he and the Dubai characters all fly to Kent to close the transactions.  After buying shares, in 7 days they turn around and sell them all at a profit.  The fake money from the fake shares are deposited in your name with a bank he and the company are working with, either in the UK or elsewhere.  Clydesdale Credit Union in the UK, for example.  You are provided with a fake stock certificate, documentation for the deposit, clean report clearance, Non-Resident Transaction permit, company tax clearance, etc. for transfer of the money into the bank account.  Since he spent all his available funds on the shares, taxes, clearances, etc. he is now financially SOL.  He never handled such a large transaction for himself.  Stop Orders, you name it.  It never ends.  The scammer, so-called bank (Paul Gilbert, Williams Bate) and Company director (Vinda Cass).  I tried to check everything out online.  Clydesdale Credit Union existed.  I looked at UK scam sites for fake certificates, etc.  This may look familiar.  The communications from the bank and company were very convincing.  Being a former legal secretary did not help any.  These people target specific people to scam.  Some of us are more susceptible and vulnerable than others.  I have not heard a word from the FBI other than a confirmation number for my complaint.  Oh!  While's he's running around the UK, Italy and Spain trying to borrow funds from friends, colleagues and family (selling Carmen Mendoza's gold after her death), he becomes ill from stress and starvation, asking for personal help.  

Honey, i have read the email you received from the bank,I must tell you that I am surprised with the amount required to open an account for the deposit, clearance and transfer of this money. While I was spending money on this transaction, I reserved this 280 pounds that I told you that I have just for the opening of this account in case it is required

I have never handled a huge transaction like this for myself rather I manage for investor so when it get to the stage of opening the account, they do it for themselves .I never knew that they pay up to this amount to open such account. I was calculating based on the banking system in US  without knowing that the UK system is more complex and different regarding the amount required to open the account.

While I was handling this transaction, I was transferring money from my bank account in United States to the account here to enable me pay of this entire bill. While I was in Dubai, I transferred money to my partners account in Dubai. The last money that was left in the account was the last money that I transferred to pay for the International Clean Report Clearance certificate which I paid $74,000 to obtaine. If I had know that it will cost up to this amount, I would have not done some expenses like the $113,000 that I paid to secure the Non Resident Transaction permit and company tax clearance  in Dubai which my partners told me was not necessary since my company is not up to one year old. This was the company I registered during this transaction

I sincerely don’t know how to put this but in life you will get to a stage that you must lean on somebody to stand; Someone that has the Golden heart to help you; The person that has the luck that his or her help will bring good luck to what you do and not bad luck. The period has come for me now that I can’t do anything than to lean on you. Honey, I will need your help at this stage.When I started this transaction, I had it as my responsibility to handle the entire financial requirement till the conclusive stage without bothering you or anybody. I had about $600,000 dollars with my bank so I believed that it will take care of any expense that may arise because of this transaction but I was so wrong. May be it is because I never handled a business that my commission will be in million so did not know that you need  to invest Big money to make big money.

Honey, I know that this is our transaction but I was contented with using your name to do it not requiring financial assistance from you but with the situation now, I have no alternative than to run to you for this assistance so that we can open this account and conclude this transaction within the next few days to enable me return to United states. The simple truth is that this transaction is the only thing that is holding me here now. My Transword calendar runs till 28th of January but the company has notified me that I am free to travel the moment I conclude the business of this investor as I cannot abandon it half way .They do not know that I am involved in it but that is my own advantage as I want to be sure that everything goes smoothly and successfully than going back to US and making call to someone to handle a transaction for me when it is something that I can do for myself and far more better than the person  can do it for me.

My love, all this long email is to tell you the present situation and how financially down I am presently. The bank needs $33,100.00. to open a bank account with them for the release and transfer of this money and all I have is just 280 pounds. Please I will need you to assistance in opening this account. You can contact the company to ask them on how the payment will be made regarding the account opening fee so that you can wire the money to them, If this account is opened today, the money will be deposited immediately and the next day the fund will be ready for transfer which once it is done, I will be ready to travel back to US to meet you. Just know that, even though that all I have or have made in this transaction belongs to both of us, anything that you assist with to open this account will first be refund to you before anything. Like I said, your contribution of providing your name is enough scarifies so any financial commitment will be refund to you. Please get back to me let me know how to follow things up from here. I am so heartbroken and feel very sad and down with this development. My eyes are filled with tears as I am writing this email.

This money is all I have as a man now and will not like anything to go wrong in this transaction. I have invested all my life savings into it so if anything happens and I lose this money, then I will be an empty fool that worked all his life with nothing to show for it. All that I have earned and saved in my life has been invested in this business and I did it because I know that it is risk free, legal and will be successful since I am the person handling the financial  end myself and my company is also involve. If we fail to open this account on time, the bank may contact the company to report the delay, the company will then ask me why the delay from my investor knowing well that an investor that is worth over $11,000,000.00 in a business should not have problem with raising the sum of $33,100.00..If this leads to further inquiries by the company and they discover that I was the person that has the fund but using your name as a representative, they will hold the money as my contract with them do not entitle me to outside commission or private negotiation with an investor. If my company holds this money, it means that I will be done because both the money and my Job will not even reach me so you can imagine what my life will be like.

This is why I am requesting for your assistance even when it was the last thing I wanted to do but it will be a greater mistake,while I am trying not to ask you for financial help and lose everything and you then blame me for not telling you when I was in need of the help. Thank you my love for the anticipated help.I love you my Joy. I will wait for your email.i wanted to go eat but could not go again after reading this email from bank now.

I love you

Jamie

The above email plea was sent to me on January 23, 2014.  I also received the identical Notice of Death.  No daughter, though, just Aunty in a coma....

Yes...block him ...report him...before he sucks u in...he has been emailing & calling...ugh...
and his mother has died....now asking for my name & address to do this business transaction me acting as his partner... [***]...this is where the $$ scam starts & identity theft comes in...

yes...same guy... Jerome Aldo Grondeux...after Momma dies (oh, he doesnt like to be called a Momma's boy on the phone...gets alittle pissed off & yells....LMAO)
He goes to UK... then to Dudai to do this deal with investor which comes into play he needs u to act as his representative cuz makes like side deal with Arabs... asking for ur name & address only... which would be enough for identity fraud later.. but later after making an offshore account in ur name ...legal fees etc which he pays for comes into play ... & wants financial help from you...  DONT GET INVOLVED... I am telling him off today... been playing with him for a month...was gonna fly to Italy to be with him for the funeral..never would tell me where it was, when, or what airport he would pick me up at... totally avoided my questions...with his undying love for me... which I NEVER said I loved him...just kept telling him u dont know me...so u cant love me just thru emails...I have a guarded heart since my husband died so glad I decided to check out every guy I "talk to" on Match... & changed preferances to if I cant meet u for coffee in the morning... I dont want to bother with u...keep it somewhat local...thats my opinion now...

He just asked for my full name & address this morning...which now shows he has what 3 of us going at once?? that we know of... ok it is a DEFINITE ...NO WAY... & dont contact me again...
Thanks for posting the next letter I will be expecting from Jerome in the next few days...

Found u can transfer pic into ur profile so this is him in my profile pic....Jerome Aldo Grondeux

oops need to be signed in in order for pic to show up...

I've been messing with him since before Christmas.  I knew right away he was pulling a scam.  Just wanted to see what story line he used, then I found this site and others like it that show the basics of every letter he writes. He will not get my name, address or any money from me.  
My email today questioned him why he had to pay Mama's doctor and hospital bills as the Italian National Health Services pay all hospital and doctor bills for free.  I questioned him that maybe this doctor was taking advantage of him by asking for payment, and to be careful that scammers were every where.  lol.   I also asked him for the cemetery address in Palermo as I wanted to send flowers since I would not be able to afford a plane ticket to Italy to be with him.  Oh my heart and prayers are with him. (ugh, ugh).  This funeral is taking place 10 days after Mama's death.   He won't answer any of these questions, he never does.  .  I'd like to figure a way to delay his requests for name and address for the Dubai deal.  I'd like to keep him busy a while longer.  Maybe I can save someone who would be so lonely and desperate for love that she would be caught up in his web and send money. I hate to think that can really happen.  I've never talked with him on the phone.  Let me know how your "telling him off" goes

I am afraid this guy has duped me, Similar storylines, Match.com, picture of himself,dauughter,dog, Diana Daughter,
Works for Shell International Investment, wife died 26 years ago of Ovarian Cancer, MUM came fromPalermo to Atlanta to take care of daughter, son and Father killed in car wreck, Daughter Diana in Milan attending Aeronautical School to be Pilot. Had to leave Atl to go to Henrietta Texas on an oil Deal in Dec, then Dallas to meet Investors, the  Dubai,Mum dies and is buried in Palermo.
I carfully detailed his stories and their were just too much that didn't mske sense.Unfortuanlely he has my phone,my Email and my address, I have his alleged UK #, If you or anyone reading this has a picture of this person I would like to share. I had  a friend put him through a filter to see if he showed up under any other name, he did not , but the name he is using is Michael Vinci. I think it is the same one. Moves in fast. simple man, etc, etc, started under guy that wrote Rich Dad, I caught his description of Dubai to be that which was on Wickapedia....thought that strange, then same of Kent. Also tripped himself up. Called a few times has thick German accent, claims educated in Scotland and Germany.Hope you are still cking tthis post.  Like to get the guy.

Hope you are still on site, do you have pictures. He picked me up off match, same storries.
Please send me E mail of Pice. I am going to get him, he has hit many women on Match. same story. I have pic of him, his daughter, his dog, his MUM, who by the way just died God rest her soul.
psellers0620@gmail.com please reply. I thank you. We have to stick together.

Hope you are still out there and anyone who gets this story in 2015 he is still out there....same stuff. I finally had time to sit down and research enough to find this site which has led me to my answer. Obviusly suspicious or I WOULD NOT  be on this site. He is going under Michael  
Vinci.
I was on Match and he E mailed me. His

e mail now is michaelvinci@yahoo.com
Please do not correspond with him.

He is still out there same story, ages differ a bit, I was on Match.
All woman beware, he is now going under name of Michaelvinci@yahoo.com

Same guy, emailing me to at same time, under name of Michael Vinci, email under michaelvinci@yahoo.com ALL WOMAN ESPECIALLY ON MATCH BEWARE AND IGNORE> JUSt DIDN'T HAVE GOOD FEELING >>>>>>>>>TOO MUCH JUNK>

omg, same guy, same words, WARNING TO ALL WOMAN> STAY AWAY< has picture of himself, Christmas tree, daughter, dog on Match in late Nov........I HAVE HIM ON THIS ONE.  Using name Michael Vinci, email michaelvinci@yahoo.com

Yes he is out there using name Michaeel Vinci.
Exact same letters possted all over this site and in researchiing he has been at this under many names since 2010.
Warning to all stay out of his trap. I am widowed and my daughter put me on Match as a way to try to move me forward. He wrote me all the same as you can read on this site.....Palermo, Diana daughter in Milan, mum just died, father and son died in auto crash, Shell Investment International.

As a matter of fact, I was not so lonely and desperate for love that I fell for it.  I was merely looking to see if there was someone who would enjoy sharing interests.  Definitely not love.  Definitely not desperate.  I, too, continually checked the Internet seeking any information whatsoever.  It took from last December to this November for anything to show up.  Now it's everywhere!  Even had my brother and a friend checking.  Hah.  Unfortunately, these guys are masters of psychological and emotional persuasion and manipulation.  I am one of those idiots who is trusting, naive and kind hearted, falling for the tales of woe. I have no explanation or rationalization about how this person/these predators managed to suck me in completely.  Somewhat like Dracula and Svengali.  According to a UK psychological report profiling various types of victims, we are in effect being "groomed" for the money pit.  I had never heard of scammers, burn phones, Nigeria or the like until it was too late.

I meant Dec. 2013 to Nov. 2014.  Time flies, doesn't it?  I laughed so hard about his phone reaction to being called a Mama's boy!  That's what I kept thinking but wondered whether Italian/Spanish men were far more emotional than usual.  I was not as astute as others, although kept checking for red flags! Must be a character defect.  No more.

From: CLYDESDALE CREDIT UNION [mailto:remmittance@ccumail.co.uk]
Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 7:37 AM
To: penj@cox.net
Subject: URGENT

Attention:Penelope Johansen,

The England bank of settlement sent us the Remittance Confirmation (RC) of your transfer on Wednesday after they confirmed the bank transfer exchange under the IMF transfer law. We also confirmed the Remittance Crediting and subsequently debited your account with the transfer amount for the remittance of the sum of $11,735,000.00  (Eleven Million,Seven Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand USD) to the account as submitted by you.

We were expecting the international transfer banking copy from them today when we received the Team from the British Union monitoring funds unit of HM Treasury from London this afternoon. They presented us a Stop Order Copy stating that your fund transfer has been stopped and ordered that the money return to the account and remain inactive until the whole documentation has been completed for your transfer. They returned to us the swift advice copy which was sent directly to your Bank of Settlement informing us that the transfer has been terminated and also issued us the Stop Order Copy which we have attached in this email.

We contacted Transword Investment International this afternoon informing them about the development and that the investors account has been inactive/frozen. We have also informed them of the amount required to secure the United Kingdom Fund Entry Tax Clearance Certificate which is needed to be secured before the account will be release to be operational and the transfer completed.

Transword Investment International informed us that they have instructed all their Investor in USA ,Europe, Asia and Middle East to secure this Fund Entry Tax Clearance Certificate in the last circular which they sent to all of them on 3rd November 2013.All Transword Investment International Investors received this circular and were advised to obtain This United Kingdom Fund Entry Tax Clearance Certificate and have it registered with Her Majesty Treasury Department and British Bank of settlement before they can handle any transaction with their paying bank in England. This was the same week that the circular was circulated to all the banks under United Kingdom and we sent the information to Transword Investment International. It is very surprise to us that the United Kingdom Fund Entry Clearance database does not have your Clearance information on records which prompted the Union funds monitoring team of HM Treasury to place the transfer red alert when they noticed the transferred sum to USA and returned it back to us, which resulted to this fund seizure and account inactive.

Please get back to us so that we will inform you on how to make the payment required for the issuance of the Fund Entry Clearance tax certificate or you can also pay through Your investment company Transword to enable them get back to us so that we will get the clearance and complete your transferred amount to your nominated bank account. The issuance fee as stated in the Stop Order, which is $481,135.00 (Four Hundred and Eighty One Thousand,One Hundred and Thirty Five USD).

HM Treasury Department also instructed that the payment be made through our bank. It is important to let you know that the British payment regulation on Fund Entry Clearance Tax section 19, stated that this payment must be made within 7 banking days from the day the Stop Order was issued. Once this payment is made, the account will be active and the transferred money will be credited to your nominated account in USA within 12 hours from the time of payment. You can contact us for more information if needed. Please read the attached Stop Order Copy Carefully to understand this email very well.

Sincerely Yours,
