    I was talking to a Tiffany Bastow for a couple years. She said she wanted me to come to Killeen, Texas to start our life together. She said she would haelp me get money to come so first she wanted me to get coinbase app and then she wanted me to get a baskbank account with her. I said Whoa, whoah, slow down. I’m not doing that and then she got mad and said I wasn’t serious about her and she couldn’t believe she wasted all this time with me. She said she has a daughter Caroline and works at a cvs as a pharmacy clerk. She said she retired playboy in 2018 to raise her daughter proper. I searched and all I found was an instagram account of her Tiffany Bastow Jones. She never explained what I had found. The instagram account say’ s that she did retire in 2018 from playboy and told her followers to not follow anybody using her name because that they are frauds copying her. I searched for a Tiffany Jones that works at a cvs and found one in Indianapolis, Indiana. I told her I would call her at work because she wouldn’t call me on my phone to verify who she is. She flipped out and said “wo does that calling her at work so I don’t know but there are only 2 cvs’s in Killeen< Texas where she said that she is. I called one and they said no she doesn't work there but I suspect that she really does work at a cvs and I believe it is at the one in Indiana because there is a Linkedin account of Tiffany Jones that works at cvs in Indiana. You are welcome if this helped you from being her next victim.

    Well I guess i’m late to the party. I didn’t know of this. Gisele Martin-Adult actress. Been in contact for almpst a year Frist on Instgram By Donna Mack. Then moved to Whatsapp. From 1(434)322-0659, have told me She said that her mother and father were killed in a car accident. Now it’s just her and her grand mother ( granny ) She said that she had some money coming from the estate of her mother and father. Alays ask for money as either needed food, meds for sick grandmother or in hospital. Once claimed to hav been shot by someone sent by her laywer to take back the money from inheritance I being a nice guy trying to help someone. I had blocked several times ,but get pulled back in. Had sent money via paypal, but kept givin me different emails. till paypal closed my account. then as to sent google or apple cards. i stopped then asked to sent bit coin to her wallet.

    I’ve been talking to a woman using XO Gisele pics. Says she like woman and is a retired bikini model. But now is a seamstress. Her bank account is messed up and needs me to accept her payments for her, the convert to bitcoin and sent it to her. It started out with just a few $$ everyday and has grown to $300-400 a day. My thoughts are she’s scamming people some how. But, dont know how. with this, she’s made me an accomplicie. I’ve cut ties with her.

    I was contacted on IG about a yr ago. Telling me she was on her own and going by the name Kate Lopez. She played the abused girl with a mean ex who would beat her. Claimed she wanted to come live with me. She tried telling me her dad left her millions$$ but couldn’t get it until she had a fiance to take over the $$ for her. I had been talking to a female with a heavy Spanish accent. Even went as far as having a fake attorney call me with the unbelievable details of $$. I called her out on it after I saw a few videos and quickly stopped talking to her and blocking her number. I also went as far as changing my # because she and her cohorts started to calljng from fake phone #’s. I’ve finally gotten rid by changing my cell # and closing Ig and hang outs

    I was contacted by Jessica, indeed sending me similar pictures of who seems to be XO Gisele, when I confronted her/it/them she told me that she use to be in the adult industry and instead of accusing her of trying a scam I should have just asked. She now says she lives in Scotland but use to live and work in Texas, that seems to match with Gisile’s past. She has promised a video call to prove she is telling the truth so I’m in full anticipation. At this point she has not tried to scam in any way but has mentioned she lives with her granny and takes care of her because she is unwell but the only person she has left. No money has been asked for and believe me I will never send any, nor will I send compromising pictures or photo’s of credit cards or even pictures with things in the back ground scammers could use. Can you imagine if there is a genuine person out here who is being used like this. In any case just to warn people she now lives in Scotland goes under the name of Jessica Parker and uses Google Hangouts to communicate as Jessica Parker.

      It is all a scam, regardless of asking for money. By continuing the relationship you are allowing the scammer to continue the manipulation. End it. Look at our 3 Steps for New Victims on our home page.

    Stephaine Connor, same lady’s pix and similar story. Over 2 month time she made attempts from Fresno, CA to get $$ from horses sold in TX. Finally stopped contact leaving her in Dallas, ha. Discovered these pics earlier and was told a twin sister she was embarrassed of and never spoke too. Also had friend Angela that worked and seemed more level headed, but same person I’m guessing. English was pretty good but occasional messups, explained as mother was from Caribbean and she used some of mother’s speech patterns and words. After approaching mid 4 figures, I threw hands up, just to crazy. And if course I expect my western union payment to come anytime. Haha.

    I too have been scammed by Giselle (Goes by Emily Aanenson, claims you be in forced porn until she pays her website owner $2000 then they will let her go. She has magnificent stories with a friend named Jade who pops in and out of conversations. I will be providing the three cell numbers and email addresses. The amazing thing about this woman (scammer) is that I sent her a shirt from a recent trip to an address in Georgia and she sent me a picture of her wearing it – as Giselle who claims her name is Emily changed from Tiffany Bastow now to hide her identity.

    I have been in contact with a girl named “Caroline Nora Palmer” also using Gisele photo. I have face times her several times and each time it is the same girl pictured Gisele. I have tried to find info on Ms. Palmer but cant find anything. She reached out to me on Google Hangouts several months back and has continued to message me every day since . Like a fool I have sent her money a few times…nothing huge a $25 Google play card here and there but recently she told me a story about some gold bars her late father left her and has been trying to get me to send her $1000 which my broke ass don’t have to send anyway. She claims to be from Ghana South Africa and her voice sounds like African accent. The story is almost identical to one I read above in comments. I was instantly confused about her because her hangouts name is Nora Kind and the email she gave me also is Nora Kind but she said her name was Nora Palmer. Anyway I started seeing Gisele pics online and she told me that she used to be a webcam model but quit. If anyone has info that might help please let me know asap. My name is Brad my email is bwelch169@gmail.com, and my cell # is 9316754779

      The only info you need right now Brad is that you are being scammed. The ex-porn star/webcam girl is an incredibly common scammer pitch. Accept that this is a scam, then report the scammer, block her, and move along. There is nothing else for you to do.

    I have seen her picture all over the internet on different sites. All the pictures you have on top of this page I have seen them before, plus a lot more, A LOT MORE!!! Love Gisele, Got Gisele, XO Gisele. I found a site that said her real name is Tiffany Bastow and is from Texas. I have been talking to someone that go’s by the name of Hailey —–. She said she is in Ibadan or Logos , Nigeria taking care of her grand mother ( granny ) We did talk on Face Book but they keep taking down her page. The last time we talked it was on messenger, I haven’t talked to her in about two or three weeks now. She said that her mother and father were killed in a car accident. Now it’s just her and her grand mother ( granny ) She said that she had some money coming from the estate of her mother and father. She needed my account info so she could get her money. RED FLAG! So that didn’t happen.

    Jane Banks Brown is the name of the girl who’s been trying to scam me for a couple of months now. She uses these same photos for herself. Claims to be out of Portland, Oregon and is a sole recipient of her late fathers estate worth $472,000,000 but is tied up in Egyptian accounts as her father had businesses in Egypt and Nigeria as an oil company owner.

    She’s a sweet talker and pretends her phone doesn’t work for video chat or snapchat and it also has poor cell reception. She claims to be a makeup artist and wants money to build her business and is searching for a suitable, mature man to be her husband and fiduciary of her family money.

    After a while will send nudes and very attractive photos of the girl pictured here. She’s very persistent and will pretend she’s calling but there is no answer when you pick up. If you call her number she will not answer and you get a Google voicemail recording. She initially hit me up for about $200 to help her daughter (living in Iowa in a private school) as her daughter needed funds quickly and Jane couldn’t make it to the bank that day, she was “too busy”. She also asked me to send her my credit card information so she could “transfer money into my account”, but would not let me give her just the account number and payment address, she wanted my login to my credit card company and also a photo of my credit card, to which I said no, cannot do that.

    She often will fire back info quickly and then leave you for hours or days before hearing from her again. She claims she’s not on Facebook but she found me on Facebook, but she actually found me on Instagram. Don’t believe a word she/he/it says!!

      I was for the last ten months writing to a woman who claimed to be XoGisele, Got Gisele , Love Gisele, etc. She introduced herself as lorena carl and soon changed it to carl lorena claiming Facebook kept closing her page because of someone stealing her photos and information. Soon i found out through a little searching that she was hiding something and always said here past was her past. We talked on the phone a couple times . I found that if you right click on a picture in google it will actually tell every person that has used that particular photo including the original person. I have never found one yet of Carl Lorena or Lorena Carl except On facebook. there are a couple thing that made me real suspicious but the biggest one was to ask a working man supporting a daughter on his own to send you money when you you are a Porn / Adult Model or Cam girl. Anyway for the most part almost everyday i look at some of the following Dating sites like Cougar-Hookup, Cutehookup,CheatingHookup, XDating, date.com, Plenty of Fish, for just a few. almost every ad has a text number and different name like Yssabella Sweet, Gisele Smith, Gisele Martin, and other such names with phonme numbers i have even found her pic in ads for escort services in various cities and counties like Serbia, UK , Cancoon, India, I’ve even seen her listed as an Escort Police. Here are two numbers i have for her personaly (208)768-8671 and (407)504-2635. she will befriend you and ask to open a bank account of sorts especially through Charles Schwab or Discover claiming she is on a check list and needs to have her modeling payments sent to you and you send them to her. Uses lorenacarl222@yahoo.com.

A Note About Labeling!

We often use the term ‘scam victim’ in our articles, but this is a convenience to help those searching for information in search engines like Google. It is just a convenience and has no deeper meaning. If you have come through such an experience, YOU are a Survivor! It was not your fault. You are not alone! Axios!

A Question of Trust

At the SCARS Institute, we invite you to do your own research on the topics we speak about and publish, Our team investigates the subject being discussed, especially when it comes to understanding the scam victims-survivors experience. You can do Google searches but in many cases, you will have to wade through scientific papers and studies. However, remember that biases and perspectives matter and influence the outcome. Regardless, we encourage you to explore these topics as thoroughly as you can for your own awareness.

Statement About Victim Blaming

Some of our articles discuss various aspects of victims. This is both about better understanding victims (the science of victimology) and their behaviors and psychology. This helps us to educate victims/survivors about why these crimes happened and to not blame themselves, better develop recovery programs, and to help victims avoid scams in the future. At times this may sound like blaming the victim, but it does not blame scam victims, we are simply explaining the hows and whys of the experience victims have.

These articles, about the Psychology of Scams or Victim Psychology – meaning that all humans have psychological or cognitive characteristics in common that can either be exploited or work against us – help us all to understand the unique challenges victims face before, during, and after scams, fraud, or cybercrimes. These sometimes talk about some of the vulnerabilities the scammers exploit. Victims rarely have control of them or are even aware of them, until something like a scam happens and then they can learn how their mind works and how to overcome these mechanisms.

Articles like these help victims and others understand these processes and how to help prevent them from being exploited again or to help them recover more easily by understanding their post-scam behaviors. Learn more about the Psychology of Scams at www.ScamPsychology.org
