Information on romance scams and scammers.
by a965161 Wed Oct 21, 2015 4:31 am
Got to know this guy online thinking I may be able to chance upon THE ONE but it just seems to good to be truth after a few communication exchanges that I just cannot refrain myself to do some further searching on words or statement as seen in the emails or whatsapp chat received. Did some IP checks and mobile numbers checks but unfortunately, nothing much can be found. As further emails had been exchanged and after having to speak with him on the phone. My gut feeling seems to get stronger for me to do even more research as I simply want to check on this guy even more in order to protect myself. (Since day 1, I tried to do some goggling, but minimum info on him can be found). And about 2 emails exchanges, I cannot locate his profile on/off on the online dating site and finally can't even locate by the 3rd week. Good thing I had it screen capture the moment I saw the profile again. Unfortunately, I sent him 2 pictures of myself over. :( & he may have just grab the one picture on the dating site.

Anyway, so I did chanced upon a lot of such scams posting with the same paragraph (not just one paragraph, some whatsapp message are the actual same words used) hence, would like to also do sharing just so that other women who managed to do the same will be spared from these unbelievable liars.

Here are the emails that I've received & pictures the other party sent: (There are more pictures sent but I'll just upload these 4).

Dearest XXXXX

Thank you for the email and the lovely picture you sheared with me on chat, indeed It was a full portrait and awesome. I could guess you are doing absolutely great today; I'm so glad we are moving ahead to know each other more better, as to know If we can find the chemistry between us then we can decide. I want you to understand I'm not looking for a facial beauty nor age. Inner beauty is more Important to me.

Yesterday, my ship left the England sea port to the US to load more cargo's going to Japan. I have bought a new satellite phone to hear your voice. My number is (+447937435479) you can call me on this number anytime any day; I will be able to receive your calls anywhere in the middle of the ocean. hopefully we can talk directly through the phone or make a Whatsapp call which is more convenient as we are not permitted to call out while on transit but can receive.

Thank you my darling for the time, devotion, care and concern you showed, what more can I say to you, allowing me to feel the warmth of your love across the great SEAS that separate us? You truly have no idea what I feel for you.

I am trying to put this feeling into words, but failing miserably. This feeling of being both scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm, is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass, my feelings for you will continue to grow. I never thought I had felt this way to anybody as much as I do right now. I hope this feeling will continue to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.

I really hope to meet you on my holiday. Sometimes life hits you with unexpected things that take you totally by surprise. All I can say is you're the best surprise life has given me and your capacity for love, caring, and understanding never ceases to amaze me. I've truly been blessed by finding you and I'll never let you go. I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the feelings I have for you.

Yes I agree with you in everything you have said and seems we have some similar things in common. friendship is defined as a person whom one knows, like and trust in the English language dictionary. though the word friendship holds much deeper meaning to it. The dictionary meaning does not emphasize on the laughter that fills the air when two friends are together and happy or the support that one can get from a friend. I do love Mandarin and was opportune to learn through the language translating system at my less busy period.

You are very much welcomed to visit my home in the United Kingdom. I live in my inherited property in Maidenhead England, It’s a 4 bed room duplex and I live alone. I am planning to retire from my work after this trip to Japan and figure out how to Invest into business in the United State or somewhere around the Asian region. For 13yrs I have worked for this company as an Engineer and the sea life have been such a nightmare for me and I truly need to change It.

Finally, I will wait for a life time for your response and please do not hurry to write me because I know we all lead a busy life, so please take your time and write me when you have the chance to do so.

I am thinking of you now and listening to a music

Subject: Hi
Dear XXXXX,

Today it seems my busiest day but I can't wait to drop you some message and how is everything around you now am sure you are fine?

What I am seeking for ? A long term relationship. A long term relationship that could lead to marriage, with a woman that could bring out the best in me, a woman that I can trust, a woman that will listen to me when I need her, a woman I can give my heart to, an honest woman that won't leave me for another man.

I need a woman I can never regret giving my best out to make her what she wants, a woman that we would both appreciate our high moral standards, respect ourselves the way we deserve. a woman that would love me as if each day is our last day together and that would be by my sides to give me warm comfort I don't feel lonely,

I am just alone and really ready to change that ... I believe in finding a woman that I will share my life with, that I will enhance her life as well as she will enhance mine...

I AM HAPPY MAN; I want to share my happiness, my joy of being alive, my dreams, and my goals.... the simple things in life Am not looking for a woman that will be commanding me or I will command what to do, but whom we will give each other perfect advice, which we will understand how much marriage means to two people.

I am looking for a woman that will be there for me anytime I need to see her at time we need to be together ... Am not looking for a woman that will tell me she is not interested anymore after long messages. I want to treat my woman with full respect and love with caring mind. I believe we can both work it out and make things work out for good. I am looking for the right woman who we can spend the rest of our life together and be both happy all time we look into each other faces. What tickles your funny bone?

My sense of humor is quite interesting, I'm shy at first but as we get closer i feel free to express my heart desires. What kind of food do you like? Do you have a favorite restaurant?

If you had to pick one type of food, what would you say is your favorite? I love American food, Asia food and Western food though am not choosy I can eat any types of food from other countries because I do like to test all kinds of foods and most times, I love to cook for myself. I love comfort food. I'd love to talk to you more and see what develops if you wouldn't mind ... What do you think?

Hope that soon we both can sit down and have a cup of coffee, though i am new to this online dating thing but i feel that I've found all what i want and desire because i honestly can't wait to meet my partner in near future ... I want her to feel that she has someone who is loyal to the utmost, faithful and dedicated to his needs.

I want to be able to satisfy all her needs, emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual and most importantly sexually. My greatest pleasure knows that i can provide all these things .... Are you willing to move for the right relationship?

I love dramas and thrillers. Loved the Borne Identity. I love fantasy films. Lord of the Rings is my favorite. What makes you laugh, smile, and cry? Crazy funny people. Sarcastic people like Dr Cox on Scrubs. I love his character.

I love intelligent comedy like political satire. I love Robin Williams, Jim Carey and Mike Myers. They crack me up so much. I love watching those home video clips of kids doing hilarious funny things ... Anyway i have go stop now i will be very glad to hear from you again.

I do not speak Cantones but hope to learn form you in the near future, hope that won't be a difficult task for you, right?

Always take good care of yourself as am looking forward to hear from you again.

Am thinking of you right now ...

Hugs with Kiss

Yours ever,

Johnny

Dear XXXX,

How are you doing? Hope you are doing great. I am so happy to hear from you just as the weather was calm today. thanks for lovely response to my message. It was awesome and I'm really Impress because you make me feel wanted. the pictures attached to my previous mail are my most recent pic but like about a month ago

I’ve read your emails, it’s necessary to chat with you sometimes through What'sapp, Viber or any other application when we are free from work, as this bring us more closely together. Please add me to Whatsapp or Viber through this number (+447716553803) so we can chat more often.

I will continue to write you long detailed information about myself as it explains better about my personality when I cannot chat. Thank you for telling me more about yourself. When you're in a long distance relationship, all you can rely on is letters, cards, emails, and telephone calls. I see myself falling greatly for you because you take the time to write me and make me feel appreciated. I know that neither one of us had in mind that we would meet each other on the Internet and get attracted, but it has happened. And for that, I have no regrets. In fact, it is one of the best things that have ever happened to me in years. For this, and what has happened to us and between us I have you to thank.

I will tell you more about myself here, well I am a happy man who enjoys life in all its forms and surrounds myself with a great group of positive thinking friends who would do anything for me, and I would do anything for them in return. My job makes me enjoy being in a crowd at times, but I enjoy spending time with only a few people as well. I love to travel and see new places, so I try to travel as much as I can especially on official duties. I have learned to take life as it happens as I remember everything happens for a reason.

The type of woman who attracts me is honest, direct, and reliable, who can be my "pal". I like a woman who's playful one minute, and philosophical the next. Above all, companionship, honesty, and idealism appeal to me, and a sense of humor! My ideal partner should be a very passionate person who knows how to fully care for the man. Above all, should have a highly active imagination when it comes to trying new things more than most people. I like a woman who value the pleasures of romance and is not afraid to pursue those feelings when the timing is right. Also has a strong intellect, with a penetrating thought process and a continual curiosity about life. I like treating my partner well and also like to be treated as one

My best colors are Wine, Blue, Purple and White. I like sea food, maybe because I eat it all the time. Originally, I am British. My father lives in Hong Kong, my mother is from the UK but they are late now. My parents live in different country because of their work but I grow up with my mother in London, UK where I attained my Secondary and University degree certificate as a Mechanical Engineer. .... I am 5.9 Fit tall and 87KG on weight...I love playing golf at my free times and as well go out sometimes to drink..... My idea partner should know how to truly enjoy life.

When I was young, my parents showed me so much love because I am the only child...... In 1999, I got married to a British woman and divorced in 2002 because she cheat me and I was advice by my colleague and friends to trace back to my route and look for an honest woman to get married to…I have no children but hope to adopt one someday. For 11 yrs, I have been working as a Mechanical Engineer in this Cargo ship and I also supply a company In Japan, Mexico Palm crude oil in tones. The sea life have been so Interesting and I enjoy most times my ship duck in Australia because we normally have break for one (1) week to go around shopping, gaming and so on.

I am a hardworking man and I have made life worth living for myself. All I want is a true love that will last forever. Sincerely I want to love and be loved. I want to fall asleep in your arms and wakeup to your beautiful smile.

I must confess I had never found someone that captured my heart and attention until now.

Please kindly attach some of your recent picture to your email when replying to my message as It bring a memory of you to me when you are far away from me.

Write back soon

Yours ever

Johnny

It's a definite scam. Real people do not write entire emails comprised of stolen love letters.

Just block all contact with the scammer and don't reply to any more of his mails or texts. Don't accuse him of being a scammer as he will just deny it and try to carry on scamming you.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
