I am Andrew Harpers lates victom, I met him in a phyc ward at the hospital in Adelaide S.A.He prays on vulnerable women and gets them to feel sorry for him with his tradgic web of lies. He will tell you anything he thinks you want to hear and trust me this man has the gift if the gab. Please people do not be fooled by this man. He pretends to be wonderfull while he is freeloading and taking advantage of you while unbeknown to you he is spending your cash, pretending to be buying you 1000,000 homes and new cars and by the time you find out he is long gone. If he had a cent to his name he would'nt have sponged of a single mum.

I know a bloke in Brisbane who does similar but not on as grand a scale as this one. Beware of Steve Kelly aka Steve McNally. Trawls the dating sites for his victims and has them paying all his debts and usually has a few on the go at once. Has done a LOT of Jail time for GBH and Manslaughter. Brisbane/Qld beware.

I am in Adelaide. He left my house 6 months ago, we were together for 6 months. Today I feel shattered and would love to get in contact with other women.

My email is rozzieoz@tpg.com.au

I read the article in the Sunday Mail today and I am in shock and also a little bit triumphant. He used to hate his photo being taken- I can just imagine the look on his face when he sees himself in print.

I wrote something about him on my blog at http://www.married2mrmean.wordpress.com

Oh, he went by the name Andrew Karlsson with me. he found me on a share-accommodation website when I had a room to rent.

He paid the first 2 weeks rent.

I met "Andrew Karlsson" late Oct last year when he contacted me via my website.

I am a private escort based in Adelaide.

I got a completely different story from him - he told me he was ex army (a physcologist) and then changed to working in the movie industry - told me he worked on Dantes Peak (and I did search, and yes a Andrew Karlsson does actually work in the film industry)

Told me he was here in Australia working on the new Mad Max film, and that he also had an on screen part. Obviously told me he was rich, and offered a private arrangement involving 30K per month. I still have all the emails if anyone is interested, its makes for intriguing reading. He offered to buy me a car, and took me to the Porsch dealership in Adelaide, he had picked out a red Cayman, but said I could choose what I liked. Ended up looking at a 911 valued at 149000, I have a rear photo of him talking to the sales person. Didnt test drive car. Sat down with him and salesman and watched him produce various business cards, an gold amex card, all in the name of Andrew Karlsson. He also told the sales person he worked for Touchstone films, and handed over a business card for the lawyer there (Ken) who would be arranging the funds transfer.

Over the next few weeks got the fob off about the car, saying he had to arrange appropriate insurance etc. The car had been moved off the lot to the holding area and was there for over 4 weeks till it was back on the lot, they had obviously discovered it was a scam.

I watched him provide documentation to back up his story to the dealership, and sign the contract. At that time I had a few reservations, as in my business you dont believe much until you actually see the $$$, but even I couldnt believe that someone would bare faced lie to a exclusive dealership.

He also offered to set up a bank account and provide myself and a collegue with cards to access the said 30K per month, but always had some reason why that was being delayed.

He also told me he was viewing a house to rent in Adelaide.

Thankfully I only met him for coffee and wasted my time going to the dealership.

From that time on I got intermittent messages via google, and email, and at one point he told me he had to go back to the states for some award function, next thing he told me he had been in hospital in the states.

Also mentioned living in Santa Monica.

Said he had gone to school in Wagga, and was a year below Wayne Carey.

Said he had worked in the film industry in Sweden as well.

I will go through all my emails again and condense them and post further info.

The last contact I had from him was early January this year.

He was using a gmail account at that time.

I can be contacted via email at amymonroe@me.com or mobile 0415 876239 (that is my work contact number for my escort work, please sms and I will get back to you)

I am truly sorry to hear about all these stories designed to rip off and hurt women, for some scumbags sick sense of gain. Sadly I imagine that there are many perhaps a "little lost and lonely" or alt the promise of a "better" life. Good on all of you who may have had the courage to deal with this idiot, and continue to put the pressure on him. There are many decent men out there, those who are "real and genuine" and a person like "him" is disgusting to all of us. Kris.
