Thank you so much for getting back to me, well, Let me tell you more about myself. I am JOY, born in USA, in New York and my mom is from Australia but my dad is from the state. i lived and grew up in USA, New York...i presently reside in Ohio..... I had a diploma in business studies. I am 31years old, my parent had two children, me and my younger brother. But he is late now. I lose both parent and my younger brother in a car accident in long station road in 1995. So presently, am all alone with no family. I do have cousins and paternal uncle, but i do not correspond anymore with them because of the life they chose to live. I see myself all alone with no family but i am ok and doing wonderfully well now, except for old memories and the emotions that comes along with losing my loved ones.

I was in a relationship earlier before now but i had to quit the relationship 2weeks ago, my ex-lover was unfaithful. I caught him having sex with my best friend, i guess you know how devastating the feeling was since then i decided to be alone. Since life has to move on, i just decided to find a man who will truly love me for who i am. I came across your profile on site, i quite like what i see then i decided to contact you. please tell me more about you

..
My first suspitions were over the car accident, and i just did'nt think this was right.

Welcome to Scamwarners, mightymjc61!

Yes, the English used makes it certain that this is definitely a West African scammer.

Would you please post the email address that the scammer is using? Also, if you can post the email headers we can probably see where the message was sent from.

Hi everyone,

My name is Thomas and I have been recently ripped off on craiglist. I bought a laptop to a guy, everything was working when I met him but after I bought it, I realized that the battery was dead and the screen was not working for movies… I tried to contact the guy, but I never managed to reach him…

Anyways, since then, I and a friend have been trying to find a solution that could help all of us avoid those situations, basically some kind of services that could allow honest people to show that they are honest ! And would not work for others of course !

Here is a little survey that will take you less than 1 minute to answer. We would greatly appreciate having your feedback because we want our solutions to be suited to all of us.

Welcome Scorched! That looks like a dating profile or message from someone who obviously did not grow up in London, and is therefore lying. Could you post more about how you got or found it? Email address, headers, or website? The writing looks more West African than British.

That's the mangled grammar and syntax typically used by a male African scammer with a standard outline script.

Some of the errors are so bad there is no doubt of it and it suggests that he isn't an experienced operator, most likely a youngster.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
