I believe this is another scammer....probably from Nigeria. IMed me on Match.com and he wanted to go to Yahoo Messanger. Claims to be from Austin, Texas. A Widower with an adopted 32 year old daughter and two grandchildren.

Here's the first chat:
Removed (11:15 AM): As I said, I didn't get a chance to really read your profile...why don't you tell me something about yourself.
andy wilson (11:16 AM): what do you want to no
Removed(11:17 AM): What do you do for a job? Do you have any children? What you enjoy doing for fun...etc. Why did you decide to try Match?
andy wilson (11:18 AM): am commercial building contractor (on Match profile he said he was "I'm a Packaging Engineer handling Product Development for Sony Electronics and Black and Decker/ DeWalt. I travel to Mexico and the East Coast often. I also work short sales in the Corpus Christi Real Estate market."

Removed(11:22 AM): I've been very career driven for the last ten years or so. I had several serious relationships as my son was growing up, and they asked me to marry them, but I didn't think they would make a great Step Dad for my son, so we went our separate ways.
andy wilson (11:23 AM): awwwok
Removed (11:24 AM): I've been in broadcasting my whole career and to be honest, I think since I've been on TV and I'm on radio now, as well as being an intelligent and independent woman, I may intimidate most men around here, so I don't get asked out anymore.
andy wilson (11:24 AM): wow ok
andy wilson (11:24 AM): so have u got to meet any man from match
Removed (11:25 AM): I've met several but have been terribly disappointed because they turned out to be romance scammers.

andy wilson (11:56 AM): aww ok
Removed (11:57 AM): It's always a struggle when you live paycheck to paycheck though! I really chose the wrong profession to be in if I wanted to make a lot of money. But being a single Mom all those years has helped me learn to pinch a penny!

He hasn't send an email so I could get an IP address unless you know how to get one from his chat. I'm going to try to post his picture

Removed (11:53 AM): Do you mean work with you?
andy wilson (11:53 AM): yes
andy wilson (11:53 AM): and help me in my work when am going down on financially also


This simply gives him away. Scamer preparing you for future quests for money.
Be careful. No normal men ask women such a questions, just scamers.

Again, yes--it's a definite scammer. I can show you offline some of the specific English mistakes to look for, as long as you promise not to share it with scammers--just pm me if you would like.

As Eve said, this one is setting up for money requests from the very beginning, and as you noticed, he forgot what he said about himself on his profile, probably because he has several profiles under different names/careers and lost track of who he is playing!

Note also how he talks about his accent. It has nothing to do with women not liking it--it is because he is African, with a very strong African accent (not "black Mexican") --and when he has moved to phone contact, one or more previous victims has become suspicious because his accent didn't match his claims--so he is trying to explain away his accent from the beginning.

Please keep posting these as you encounter them, as every scammer you post is also targeting other women, and your posts may ultimately save those women from being scammed.
