Information on romance scams and scammers.
by moongoddess Thu Sep 05, 2013 9:14 pm
I've found a scammer. What seemed like a nice guy VERY quickly turned into a surreal amount of instant love with no real leading on by me. I hardly said much other than honestly but cautiously talking about my philosophy on life. He's supposedly widowed, has a supposed 16 yr old who doesn't live with him, is supposedly an engineer for offshore oil rigs, etc. My first hint something was up was the info about what he did for oil rigs. I have a dear friend in Texas who really does work in the oil industry and when I asked about the supposed job title he laughed and said it doesn't exist. So I played polite and cool, didn't call him out on his faux pas and sure enough, his letters were a little outlandish to believe. He's supposedly in the Philippines working. I searched on facebook for him and found 2 different accounts, both very empty and unused, both saying similar things but also with some differences.

Finally, in the last email he sent there was something about the things he asked that seemed like they were from a song so I copy/pasted and sure enough: Pink lyrics! I did the same for some other lines and found an almost identical letter written 2 years ago and posted to this site, ScamWarners. His english is hit and miss and considering the education he's supposedly had that has always been a red flag from the beginning.

Let me know when you want the letters from him and his FB links. I'm not going to respond to him from here on out unless its to see how far he'll go. He hasn't asked for money....YET.

The first email from "michael". His email is [email protected]

How are you doing?

Where do i start from? Really it is disturbing to come on zoosk.com to see how much people appreciate love, but yet We have to go the extra mile to get this great status.

Forgive my manners,I am Michael 6'0 height black hair I have a lovely daughter 16 years old Jodie very friendly I was born in a home, by an Irish man and an American woman, I am loving , fun, caring , honest , faithful with great sense of humor.

I am an engineer and I do basically oil rig well constructions and renovations. I think after getting all the wealth in pursuit, i have come to realize that we are nothing without a partner, someone who would stand by me no matter the situation. A woman who i can say, she alone has the right to be womanly irritating to me, lol. A witch who would protect me like a lioness would do her cub,lol. and i can promise to protect her beyond all vices. A woman who tells me, honey, you can do it,. no matter what i want to do. I really worked hard the past 12 yrs to attain this height.

I have seen faces of women on this site, many of whom have been taken for granted, many of whom are not being reciprocated, but i have come with a good news and a bad news... the good news is i came here to pick my woman to make happy, my eight wonder, my best friend, my copilot, but the bad news is that i have only one woman to do this for.lol.

I'm talking about faith here when feelings are so powerful it's as if some force beyond your control is guiding you to someone who can make you happy beyond your wildest dreams. I am a total package , i only need someone who understands the value of a good smile.

Now tell me more about you....what do you do for a living? what do you do for fun? whats your best color? whats your best meal?e.t.c

I can't wait to hear back from you.

Have a nice day sweets.

Michael.

The first email started on 8/16/13. Here is the 2nd email.

Hope you are having a wonderful sunday, it's so good to hear from you and i am also honoured that you could share all you did with me,for a minute there i was scared that i would not hear from you again. I must say that i feel i can share anything with you already so im going to let the cat out of the bag.

I guess you should truly know who i am ,I don't really know how this is to work, but hey! here is an exclusive.If at my age i do not know what and when to say, then what would i be? When a wise man sees he has probably spent about half of his time in life already, he begins to assess his main goals in life. What could be more important than a happy ending? LOL,. A man needs to live his life full of joy and happiness. No matter his achievements, he is reduced to nothing if he has no crown to complete him and that is a woman to call his own. Wife and Best friend. A woman who knows that even while arguing they still need to hold hands. A woman whom i can call a partner in crime,lol A woman whom you can tell anything. How could you think anything can make you happier in life than finding a love that knows no bound.

To make you know more about me,.I will break this down to segments and it would be like a case study.

MY BACKGROUND
I was born to a loving couple, I was born in a home, by an Irish man and an American woman from CA. My father was an international business man who met this British orphan whose only family were close friends.. She says there was something about the man that no woman could ever resist, sometimes she says she sees same in me,lol. During my father's global movement, when i was twelve i left to study in lethridge Alberta in Canada where i got the first degree in Civil Engineering and then i later moved on to join them back in the UK. My father died and she was left alone. I met my deceased wife in Ireland she's an Irish. she was a fashion model. Very good at heart.
My favorite color is blue, I enjoy seafood, homemade, chinese and indian.

Actually i could say i met her in a funny way, would explain that later.


MY JOB
I am a global contractor engineer. I do basically rig constructions and renovations or over water bridges and Buildings. We have worked at many countries across the globe. I shall quit field works and continue my works from my home office while my men do the field ops. I think i really have gotten to this height cos i embraced work for so long trying to get over my deceased wife, that i worked this hard, but i think i now realize i can move on.


MY DREAM
I have told you how my typical dream day would be like, i just want to spend the rest of my life enjoying the fruit of my labor. I just want a woman who would be my best friend and everything. You know someone whom we would still love each other more as the days pass by, even when we cant make love anymore and all we could do is play bingo,LOL.

Now tell me more about you...?e.t.c

I cant wait to hear back from you.

Have a nice day my ballerina girl

In all of his emails he rarely answers my direct questions directly. Instead he either repeats himself or ignores me. Email #3

Good to read back from you and hope you slept well? How did your yesterday go?

I am doing great, i am hiatus for 2 weeks and am just trying ti enjoy my break while it last. I am presently working on oil rig construction project contract in Manila Island Philippines, I am presently in the states enjoying my 2 weeks break I would be returning back to Philippines in a week time.

Oh no i didn't redo my degrees all i had to do was go through some vocational training and IT in states.

I have been single since i lost my late wife 5 years ago it was bad experience losing someone you love, me and my daughter really went through lot pains and emotional stress. I lost my wife to cancer which took her life.

I like your dream building a home to have wonderful family thats really great. I am also looking for a woman to meet her before i build or buy my home in states.

So what are your plans today?

I hope to read from you soon.

Oh, subject lines are usually things like "angel" and "my eight wonder". Email #4

I really appreciate this communication and i will say it is a sign of will, and i tell you where there is a will there is success ahead. I believe we both know that Love is not a destination but a journey and this is a journey that takes two to walk. I mean two souls who understand ahead that they aren't in for a kid walk, and what they have ahead is the most important mission in life. A place meant for true people,it is a place called joy and happiness.Really i just see in your face that i can live with this woman, not the beauty part alone, but the depth of your soul.

As i could remember, as a kid i was a very cute one,lol. One whom many bullies would target, but only to realise there is a tough side to me. I could make a sober person dance. i could affect one with my smile. I grew up having more older friends. Many would confide in me. To tell you, i am a type that doesn't judge. no matter how dirty you may be, just come clean to me, and i will give you support.

There is no Mr right until we make him right. A relationship is never about how much at the beginning but how much we could make it grow into. My old friend and pastor would tell me, if you aren't ready to feel or look stupid, then don't fall in love ,lol But sincerely that is the bitter truth. When i lost my deceased wife, he told me that the fact that something good ends doesn't mean something better can't start. Can you prove that right? I have come to realize that let a man write a better book, let him preach a better sermon, let him sing the best of songs, let him gain wealth beyond dreams, he is reduced to nothing except he has a woman to call, my wife, my best friend and co-pilot.

My usual saying, and i am known for it, is that, Life is simple, for those who take it simple. I don't like to complicate things,there is joy in every situation if you know the right angle to look it from.

I am quitting field works. Any other job would only require my attention from my home office wherever i go. I want to spend the rest of my life having fun. I have a house in Venice where i found my late wife and got married,, while i have no home. Would you stand by me to build a home? Would you smile at me when i look tense? I don't need a super model, i rather need a very good friend who knows when i am tensed just by looking into my eyes and a super woman. The whole world may be mad at me, but if you are smiling at me, i would care less.

I say,Who says we cant design our own paradise together?

It is workable,just walk by my side.

Have a lovely day sweets

Email #6....a few of these were normal enough sounding that I almost started to wonder if the original feeling that he wasn't real was right or not.

How are you doing today? I hope you are enjoying your weekend there?

I am not doing much just getting to return back to Philippines next week to complete my project.
Enjoy your weekend

Now he amps up the "love"....email #9 (love potion #9?? lol)

Hello My Wonder!

Hope you are feeling as happy and great as i am feeling after getting back from work and opening my email to see that there was something to read from you,i am so glad that you shared all you did with me,it is glaring that we are really heading in the right direction.

Who are you? A woman being a goddess? or a goddess pretending to be a woman? Whichever you are, you are doing something special to me.lol.I mean after all these years, i would have thought i might not have the possibilities again of having my dream woman, my partner, my best friend and co pilot. I'm talking about fate here - when feelings are so powerful it's as if some force beyond your control is guiding you to someone who can make you happy beyond your wildest dreams. I wouldnt be scared
anyway, because truely, Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end. The inevitable truth is , If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one.

I am on the offshore in Manila Island Philippines i having to wake up every morning by 6 to catch up my chopper down here. Working from then till late at night, yet being able to be distracted by this woman(YOU). I have over 300 labors here, both skilled and locals, yet all could notice a new glow on my face. LOL. Bishop, Bruce and I have always stayed at Bruce's in his MD home, he just got married almost two years now. He found his woman on zoosk.com and to be sincere, he inspired us. I did not buy a house in the states yet because i would love to find my woman first, then building a home would start from there. I am being true to my feelings, as my old friend would say, Never question if you are in love or not, because if you were you wouldn't need to ask. So the best of men, would accept what they feel without questions, because truly, Love and death can't be escaped, no one can tell , when, how, or where. It is never too early or too late. LOL.

What is more important to you the love you share, the memories you have or the lover? Give love a chance to swallow you up. Don't just think it will happen in an instant, it will surprise you before you know it, but it will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have.

I thank you for being so open minded and simple as me, i can promise you that the sky is the limit for us.

I am guessing you will be in bed right now or about to so which ever ways do have the most pleasant of dreams as you rest ok.

I long to read from you much much much more............

Hello My Sunshine,

How are you doing today and how was your day at work my sweet love?

Do you know why i call you sunshine?. its because I Can't get the picture of you off my mind. I feel like giving you a kiss and a hug as I watch the sun rise from my balcony,lol. Just as the sun lights up the earth, thoughts of you also lights up my life. You are the only one I have met who has been able to capture my heart in so short a time and I know its because i sense a heart so bright and full of so much love to give. Just seems like yesterday, when you came into my life and changed my whole perception of life and love right away with your outstanding personality. The only reason this is possible is because you have potrayed yourself so well and you have been yourself and not a pretender, i appreciate your honesty in all our talks. I like that in you, because I'm not in love with your beauty but rather your bright mind and I sense a humble and gentle soul. I have fallen for that. If you remember, i said it takes a life time to try knowing the reason why you feel the way you do with some people. the answers are never there, trust me, the day relationships start failing is the day people can figure out the exact reason they have loved each other.
Life is boring when perfect. Life is worse when there is nothing to change about anything.

I believe the balance of life is based on the facts that, there must be thieves and criminals for the police to remain employed. The medical practicioners would run out of business if we are all hale and hearty. The legal practisioners would die of boredom if there are no offenders. If everyone were to be vegetarians, Oh my! guess how many people would not earn a living. White gained from black, blacks earn from white. If everyone is rich, wealth would be meaningless. who would do the laundry? who would drive the car? who would guard who? who would keep whose money? lol. The essence for this short word is that, if you can read the meaning in this. you are my woman for sure.

The moral of the speech is that We were all created for each other. There is much fun in helping. We can all be better if we accept the fact that we cant live without each other. The world would be a better place if we can start accepting things we cant change. Because the only constant thing in life is CHANGE! Sitting here thinking about you as I wake, brings out a part of me that loves life more,lol.

I have a proposal for you this wonderful day. Because i know you at least care about me, after all you talk to me even when you have to wait, that means a lot to me. So i want your help today. There is this woman whom i just met, and i am scared about how she has gotten my attention, but i would be stupid to submit to fears. I noticed that she already has a place that cannot be replaced in my heart. Who could ever think of hurting such a woman who only wants happiness? I want you to help me find her and tell her, i am not known for fears. I am aware that a journey of a thousand years starts with the first step. A man who wants to fly must at least learn to stand on his feet! please tell her if she is willing, i would love to take her hands. I am a man who gives nothing or everything. Once i have her hand, i can promise her forever. Tell her i know this is not going to be a child's play, tell her i know there are times we would argue in future. but tell her i would teach her to know that even while we argue we would still be holding hands. because there are two sides to a coin. Tell her life is short, but we can make paradise out of it. Tell her, her worries have become mine, because i do not really know how she has done it. tell her that coming across her was by chance, communicating with her was by choice, but then falling for her is beyond my control.


I guess I have to give you directions on how to find her, just go to your dressing mirror and you would find her staring back at you,lol.
Pls look into her eyes and speak this to her for me.

Darling I want to be a part of your daily existence as i want you to be mine, do not let this distance between us count for anything, we shall live as one from this day on, I pray we achieve all our expectations and more, i know it might sound like asking for too much but thats just how it has to be, i feel like my world would crashdrastically if i couldn't keep you, please we need to show each other regularly that we care in ways that we are supposed to. I am smitten by you. Didn't get much sleep but I don't need much anyway, I will talk with you when I get back, something came up and we have to move early, see you later and you can call me on my phone i hope you find the time to call me, I will also glad if you can call me and I will try to call you. bye for now my sweetest heart, really sorry i couldn't wait for us to chat but we can do that later, or on the phone.

wish you were here!(sighs), MISSING YOU ALREADY!!!

Yours forever,

Michael

The last and latest email

Hello My Forever Angel,

How are you today my eight wonder?

You know, God gave us two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, but only one heart so we can find the other pair lol. And as i have learnt that Love is the soul recognition of it's counterpart in someone else. I loved the fact that i got this much mails from you. i feel special.

You do not need worry about me , what she has always wanted for me is what i am having right now, trust me, i am a warrior.

What a wonderful way of life it is to find joy and happiness in someone else. I would ask you some few questions which requires a min before you answer each.

Do you believe in Love, even amidst this crazy world we find ourselves in?

Do you believe that happiness has value more than every material things we may get in life?

Do you believe that you have a good heart ton care for people unconditionally?

If you found a hundred dollar bill on the road and see a hungry orphan, would you feed him?

If you get into an arguement with me, and i pull you close to kiss you, would you still kiss me back?

Would you love those close to me as i would love all those who matter to you?

If i bring you breakfast to your bed would you kiss after saying thanks?

Do you love to run away with me sometimes where we would be out of business environment to spend quality time together?

Do you believe the world should concentrate more on peace projects than war fundings?

Do you have faith that every man is the architect of his own destiny?

Do you believe that Life without Love is like a harp without strings?

Do you know that, You can’t make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth?

If God is the DJ, then Life is the dance floor; Love is the rhythm, and You might be my rythm?

If you have said yes to all these and you say no to my next question then you might not really know what you want then,lol.


WOULD YOU BE MINE TODAY , TOMORROW AND TILL END OF TIME?

I know the possibility of thinking, this man i havent met, how can there be these feelings? what does he know about me? But i can tell you the truth about life. The people you have met and probably fallen in love with them, what do they know about you that you think i dont know? probably, just some physical things, like smell, sense of touch, and body physics, and that is all. But these few things are the least things to love for. These are just sentimental values that are found in many at good lenght. The main things to love for are the abilities to agree on phenomena, and sense of directions. The unexplained attraction to someone's words.

which is life itself. These are the only things that matters deep down.. How best can one get these things better than meeting in writtings? where you can escape the sentimental factors i mentioned earlier and once we meet, the biggest sentiments is there and one wouldnt be able to help but start the feelings from there. I can tell you that internet is the best and also the worst way of meeting people. In the sense that it is the best if two people meet and are as open as a book with each other with no lies. I promise it cant fail . The worst in the sense that if these two met and there is even a single atom of lie in between, there comes disappointments, which is like a small stone that can bring down a big wall. Did you ever lie to me? cos i wouldnt ever lie for anything. My ma brought up a better man than that.LOL.

Go and do the research about what i just said and you will find out whether the maths is good or not.

As food is needed for the body, the same way love is needed for the soul. Food strengthens the body while love strengths the soul. A person is incomplete without love. I will never give up the fight and will of love. yesterday was big fun for us, we came back from church early enough to have time to enjoy ourselves round the city. We did cruise a boat, and we laughed so much as usual. We all cant wait to be out of here for a longer vacation.

They sang for me and put your name in the song, You know we work all day except for sundays for us. I did picture you with us on the cruise laughing this afternoon so hard in my arms,lol.. Love is a noble act of self-giving,offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones. I do cherish your presence in me.

Please take good care of yourself dearest wonder.

Loving thoughts,

Michael
