Be warned if you're ever contacted
by a "Devlin Panos." This person struck
up a conversation with me online midway through December
of 2013 claiming to be from Aberdeen, Washington.
Within three weeks she professed that she simply had
to meet me and would be flying to my home in Tucson,
Arizona, to do so. Barely knowing anything about each
other, I told her to slow it down a bit since she
didn't even know my last name.
Come March, we'd been speaking daily and she was still
determined to visit me. Knowing a little more about
each other, I felt comfortable enough to give her
the green light to purchase a ticket. She claimed
to be flying into Tucson on April 5th but as more
and more of her stories failed to add up I began calling
her true identity into question. She told me she was
24, working full-time while attending classes to be
come an RN, and that her fiancé had died two
years prior leaving her with more than enough money
($30,000.00, to be exact) to afford her visit. She'd
only sent me a handful of photos and when I'd ask
for new ones she'd tell me her phone was "too
ghetto" and that she was "too broke"
to buy a new one. I found this odd considering she
not only claimed to be working, but had told me numerous
times that she was sitting on a pile of money. On
the heels of confessing how broke she was she claimed
to have purchased a brand new Nikon camera for her
visit to Tucson. Yet, when I'd ask for new photos
she'd put up a fuss, accuse me of doubting her, and
feebly attempt to make me look like a bad guy. From
speaking with her on the phone I realized that her
voice simply did not match the girl in the photos,
leading me to believe I was being duped.
My suspicions were confirmed when she surprised me
by e-mailing me a picture of her ass for a "birthday
present." A quick Google search revealed that
it wasn't hers at all and simply a picture she had
stolen from an escort service's website. When confronted
about it, she made up a ridiculous story about sending
it to see if I trusted her and when that didn't work
resorted to insults at which point I cut off all communication.
Beware of anybody contacting you claiming to be this
girl. Don't let yourself be "catfished"
like she attempted to do to me. This, folks, is why
it's never a good idea to talk to random people online
where a person can claim to be anybody. Stick to meeting
people in the real world to avoid potential whack-jobs
like Devlin Panos.
Update One: This dirtbag hilariously
tried coming back into my life with false promises
of flying across the country to marry me. Knowing
she wasn't who she claimed to be, I jokingly went
along with it fully aware that she wouldn't show.
My friends and I were curious to see how it would
all play out and what excuse she'd use for not arriving
on schedule which, as you've probably guessed, she
didn't. I played along with her attempted ruse as
she told me how she'd quit her job, bought a plane
ticket, and would be flying to Tucson on August 9th
to make me her husband. Just as I anticipated, she
never made the trip. Instead, mere hours before her
supposed flight she staged her usual drama as an excuse
not to arrive which I saw coming a mile away. She's
a perfect candidate for the hit MTV show "Catfish."
Unfortunately for her, I was too smart to fall for
her game and was more so fascinated by a person crazy
enough to attempt such a charade on an intelligent
guy who's worked online for well over a decade. The
level of detail she'd put into her bogus stories was
quite staggering and amusing, to say the least. After
failing to show and exchanging a few choice words,
one week went by before she contacted me to apologize
for cancelling her plane ticket, claiming she'd purchased
another one, and this time would be arriving for sure
on August 22nd. In awe of how gullible and stupid
she clearly found me, I played along with her act
yet again knowing fair well she wouldn't be making
the trip. She spent the better half of the 21st ignoring
my texts and phone calls before finally replying to
tell me she'd dropped her phone in water and was letting
it dry out. Texts from there were scarce until, as
predicted, hours before her flight she texted me to
tell me her mother had a stroke. How convenient!
Whoever this loser is, they still pathetically send
me one character texts in a futile attempt to get
my attention but I've ceased playing along with their
games. Be wary if you receive pictures from somebody
claiming to be this woman. They are a complete and
utter fraud.
Update Two: After two weeks of silence,
this imbecile e-mailed me once again to apologize
for not arriving, claimed she bought another plane
ticket, and guaranteed she'd arrive this time, promising
she wouldn't bail. Curiosity getting the better of
me, I yet again played along to see how it would unfold
since crazy people intrigue me and, as you already
know by now, she once again failed to show. The difference
is, this time she was insane enough to send me a fake
itinerary and text me along her fictional trip. Instead
of me meeting her at the airport, she asked if she
could simply rent a car and meet me directly at my
home and I agreed by reserving a rental car in her
name. An hour after supposedly landing in Tucson I
still hadn't heard from her and after a few unanswered
phone calls she finally texted me claiming the airport
had conveniently lost her luggage. After another hour
with no reply, I told her to just grab the rental
car and we'd pick up her luggage later that evening
when the airport had finally located it. She agreed,
texted me a short while later to say she'd picked-up
the rental from Enterprise, and then mysteriously
stopped replying. Knowing she was full of it, I called
Enterprise directly who informed me the car hadn't
been picked-up as she'd claimed and that they hadn't
even heard from her. After two hours of calling and
texting her with no response, she finally did reply
claiming she'd accidentally left her phone at the
airport and explained away the rental car confusion
by claiming she'd chosen to rent a car from a different
rental company which flew in direct opposition of
her having specifically told me she'd picked up the
car from Enterprise two hours earlier. When I called
her on in, she flipped out and insisted she truly
was in Tucson, and ignored my numerous requests for
her to prove it by heading to my house as planned.
Instead, she blew up my phone with disparaging remarks
and continued texting me well into the night claiming
she was in Tucson and having tons of fun without me.
The nutcase even went so far as to say she'd really
arrived in Tucson with another man, never had an intention
of meeting me, that she'd never told me her real last
name, and that her and her lover were having a blast
in my city.
Unbeknownst to her, it was my best
friend's day off and out of boredom and curiosity
we actually had been waiting for her at the airport
since it's close to my house. We staked out the terminal
but nobody even remotely resembling her likeness stepped
off the plane. We only called Enterprise to see if
she'd simply been lying about her appearance but even
that wasn't the case. Hence, I knew for 100% certainty
she had never been on any flight and certainly never
arrived in Tucson. Of course, I didn't tell her that
because I wanted to see if she'd keep up the ruse
of being in Tucson and see what other outlandish stories
she'd tell. Obviously the reason she wanted to get
a rental car and just meet me at my place was so she
could claim she arrived when in reality she was back
home in Washington state checking flight statuses
online. The flights were real, it was her ticket that
wasn't, and a giveaway she wasn't truly en route was
her texting me at the exact minute the airline's website
updated with flight arrivals.
I'm sure she's just some lonely, overweight,
middle-aged woman who sits behind a computer screen
concocting fake identities for herself since she likely
has no life of her own. From day one she claimed her
name was "Devlin Panos" which I always suspected
was a pseudonym since a Google search yields no results
for that name. I'm posting all of this online as a
warning to those who might be more gullible than me.
Be careful, people! There are lots of crazy people
out there, and in today's world most of them have
access to the internet. Watch your back!
The 360-268-2677 phone number is a
pre-paid phone registered to a male in Westport, WA.
Update Three: Upon reading this and
texting me to insist she really had been in Tucson,
this moron sent two pictures of her supposed trip
along with the lovely message, "Proof, bitch!"
A quick Google search revealed what I already knew:
that she'd simply stolen the pictures from the internet
and is completely and utterly insane.

For all you men
out there, if you absolutely insist on talking to women
online be sure to use these tried and true methods for
avoiding scammers, fake profiles, and/or drama. These
are "Doug's Red Flags" that should send you
running for the hills. |
|
1.)
Profile pictures of a gorgeous girl. Let's face it;
hot chicks don't need the internet to find men. Use
common sense. If a girl looks too good to be true, she
definitely is.
2.) Old pictures. If a girl doesn't
have recent pictures that's a sure sign that something's
a bit off. Proceed with caution.
3.) Unable to take new pictures. In
2014 everybody has access to a digital camera. In this
day in age the whole "I don't have a camera"
excuse isn't valid. A person unable to take new photos
is likely hiding something. If they send you pictures
that don't clearly show their face, that's another sign
something's off.
4.) Broken English. If a person claims
to be from America yet can barely speak a lick of English,
put two and two together and realize they're obviously
full of crap.
5.) Living far away but wanting to
meet within the first three weeks. A normal, rational
person won't want to hop on a plane to meet somebody
they've only been talking to online for less than one
month. If a woman has it bad to come see you right off
the bat, definitely be wary.
6.) Not asking questions. Any sane
person would want to know everything about the person
they're interested in. If they don't ask questions they're
either self-absorbed, mentally vacuous, crazy, or all
three of those things.
7.) Planning a life together within
three weeks. Only mentally unstable women do this. Also
avoid women who use the phrase, "I'm a great catch."
Nine times out of then they're absolutely not.
8.) Dead spouse, boyfriend, or fiancé.
Beware of women claiming to be widowed. This is an old
ploy used to garner attention by playing on your sympathies.
9.) No social media under 35. In today's
society most socially inept women have at least a Facebook
profile, especially if they're attractive and under
the age of 35. If they don't, that often means they're
hiding something or complete and total drama queens
who can't handle using social media.
10.) Blowing up your phone. You and
her should be texting or calling each other an equal
amount. A woman who calls you non-stop clearly has issues.
A woman who sends ten texts for every one text you send
is also no good.
11.) No profile picture. This one's
fairly self-explanatory.
12.) Kid they don't have custody of.
Any normal woman who isn't a complete fuck-up will have
custody of her kid(s). If she informs you that her child
is living with her ex or, even worse, with her parents...
bail! She's damaged goods. |

It's best to avoid
meeting somebody online all together, but if you must
remember to follow those twelve simple rules. We live
in an age where scammers and frauds run rampant. Be
careful! |
