💔 Romance Scam Allegations Against UK-Based Man — Victims Claim They Lost Thousands to “Ryan Ahmed” (Real Name: Mohammed Saimon)
London/Dhaka:
A UK-based man has been accused of running an online romance scam targeting women both in Bangladesh and abroad. The accused, known by the name “Ryan Ahmed” but allegedly using his real name Mohammed Saimon, reportedly developed intimate online relationships with multiple women before deceiving them into sending large sums of money.
One of the alleged victims, speaking on condition of anonymity, shared her story with Global British News, claiming she intends to file a formal complaint with the authorities soon.
📖 How the Alleged Scam Worked
According to the victim’s statement, Ryan first approached her on social media, gradually building a personal connection through frequent video calls. Over time, he reportedly began requesting money — citing various emergencies such as financial hardship, loan repayments, or medical expenses.
The victim says she regularly sent him between £2,000 and £6,000 per month, transferring funds to accounts under the name Mohammed Saimon through bank transfers, Wise, and Western Union.
At one point, Ryan even travelled to Bangladesh to meet the victim in person. The two reportedly spent a day together at a hotel. The woman later realised that his intentions were purely financial.
She further alleged that Ryan is addicted to drugs and uses this scam to sustain his habit.
🌍 Widespread Pattern — Victims Across Borders
The investigation by victims suggests that around 13 women have fallen prey to similar schemes — both in the UK and abroad.
Among them, seven victims have directly spoken to each other and confirmed comparable experiences. The group reportedly includes one Indian and one Pakistani woman.
🗣️ Testimony from the Primary Victim
The primary complainant told Global British News:
“He promised to marry me. I trusted him and helped him financially whenever he asked. Later, I found out he was doing the same thing with other women. I lost not just money but my peace of mind.”
The woman, a member of a well-respected and financially established family, has requested anonymity to protect her family’s reputation. She says she will reveal more details once legal proceedings formally begin.
🧾 Evidence and Financial Trail
The victim claims to have bank receipts, chat logs, video recordings, and other supporting evidence. She also provided a related IBAN number — BE57967057430935 — allegedly used by the accused.
However, she has chosen not to publicly disclose the full transaction records to protect the integrity of the upcoming legal case. According to her, those documents will be handed over to the police and cybercrime authorities during the official complaint process.
👤 Online Presence of the Accused
The alleged scammer reportedly maintains multiple social media profiles under different names.
Sources confirmed that his active accounts include:
TikTok: @mrquiett
Facebook: Ryan Ahmed
At the time of publication, Global British News has reached out to Ryan (aka Mohammed Saimon) for comment, but no response has been received.
⚖️ Police Action Expected
According to the victim, law enforcement agencies have assured her that swift action will be taken. She also stated that she will brief the media again once formal proceedings begin and more information can be disclosed.
