Jason Bonnucci Jason.Bonnucci Jason Bonnucci, Christian Mingle Online scammer/ Online dating scam Potwin Kansas
I met Jason Bonnucci on Christian Mingle a dating service. He presented himself as a 64 year old Itailain man. He said his wife had past and he has a 16 year old daughter named Annetta Hayes. He told me he was an engineer for Baku Pipeline and gas and that he was sent to the country Georgia 6 weeks by his work.
After sending many messages back and forth through Christian Mingle he asked me to switch to Yahoo Messagner to chat. His Yahoo ID is Jason.bonnucci. We messaged back and forth for weeks. He also sent me many emails from a email address under the name [email protected]. He told me he loved me and that he found the person he wanted to be with. He spent a lot of time writing me sweet emails, poems and messages on Yahoo. He showed great interest and he shared a lot about himself as well. He sharded many pictures of himself and his family. I asked him to call me so we could talk ove rthe phone but he said he had no access to international calling from where he was located. At the time I believed him.
After a couple weeks of inimate discussions he told me his machine broke down and he needed a part to fix it. He said he could not acesss his bank in the States and did not have enough funds to fix it. He said he would be in a lot of trouble if he couldnt buy the part. He asked me to send him money through western union. I did send him sone the first time. He also asked me to send itunes cards for his daughter, which I did send. Shortly after this all happen my daughter jumped in and looked into his profile and felt I was being scammed. The more she looked into the situation the more we both realized I was scammed. I cut off all contact but I am not sure what else he may do with my information. I am filing a police report as well.
My daughter searched the IP address and each time it showed this location 8653 NW 120th St, Potwin KS. Two other IP addresses showed Chareleston SC on Broad Street. My daughter found the the IP address in Ks has been used before to scam and she got worried.

Hi!
I am a journalist with New York Public Radio's Radiolab. (http://www.radiolab.org/)
I am currently reporting on a story about a rural farmhouse in Potwin, Kansas which was the alleged origin of much internet spam. I noticed your report in which you post about Potwin. The truth is that the origin of the scammer you write about is not Kansas. The residents of the farmhouse in Potwin are actually victims of an IP mapping glitch. You can read more about that in this article: (http://fusion.net/story/287592/internet-mapping-glitch-kansas-farm/)
I was wondering if you would be willing to chat on the phone, over email, or over private message about your experience with this? I know this request seems strange and out of the blue. I would just like to gather information for my story. Let me know if you'd be interested in speaking with me.
Thank you,
Charulata
