Warning (updated 11/10/09)

Eduardo Enrique Perez Barros is a professional con artist. He finances his travels by stealing credit card numbers and ATM PIN numbers. He is still on the loose. *WARNING: NOW BELIEVED TO BE IN PANAMA!*

I have solid proof of his crimes and I filed a police report in Spain in 2006, but he was stopped at the airport in Madrid by immigration and deported to Prague. However the Czech police would not arrest him since the crime actually took place in Poland.

He is now going by the name Enrique Perez Barros ("Kike Barros") and was living in Denver, Colorado as of July, 2009. He was in deportation proceedings with the Department of Homeland Security due to visa fraud and was ordered removed from the US in July -- he is presently believed to be in Panama.

See the comments on this blog for more stories (click here). He has expanded his repertoire to include drugging his victims.

If you have had anything stolen from you by Eduardo, it is urgent that you file a police report in your country. He is difficult to catch because he keeps moving.

If not, consider yourself lucky and be careful if he tries to contact you. I found several credit card numbers in his papers, he may still have one of yours with him. His old email addresses (no longer in use) were cocothesailor@hotmail.com, cocoperez2001@hotmail.com, cocoperez@yahoo.com, and cocoperez2001@yahoo.com. He has also used the handle "kikethesailor" and "cocothesailor."

He also goes by the names Enrique, Kike Barros, Eduardo Ernesto Perez Barros, Quique, Coco, and the slightly misspelled last names Berez and Parros.

At the time I met him he claimed to live in Barcelona. In the past few years he has been to the following countries: Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Romania, Poland, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Serbia, Czech Republic, Russia, Ireland, Scotland, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, the US (Denver), and Panama.  *NOW BELIEVED TO BE IN PANAMA.*
