You should message me if
You are looking for a long term relationship




He asked me to contact him via KIK - username khaydoll (Col. Ger)

So our conversations have been on KIK which is not easy for me to cut and paste here.
I usually can detect scammers quite well but this one took me a bit longer.

The dead wife and working overseas was a giveaway...I usually can spot them before they get to this info though:

I am an Israeli with citizenship..Who was born and raised in Tel Aviv but I live in Brisbane...Have you been married?


I lost my wife in a heart surgery


I'm a petrol chemical engineer and I work inside the ship. I work in a gas carrier ship and my ship supplies gasses to various cities and states and across borders...


As I talk to you now my shp is in the United States.. Have you been on a ship before?


I'm looking for a long term relationship...Someone to share good and bad times with


He asked me all sorts of questions...favourite season, favourite colour, do I like travelling? Do I smoke and drink etc

As a matter of fact I met my wife in a dating site called Plenty of Fish (POF)...


We only talked for a few days,,liked each other and decided to meet,..I told her how I am paid in form of a cheque here and not cash....As a result,,she sent money for my tickets to come meet with her..I did and we spent time together and fell in love and connect much more and better..On my next visit,, I proposed to her and she accepted and we got married...


But death took her away from me.. :( :( :(


But that's in the past now


I missed falling in love and being loved in return...That's why I decided to find it again


I have a German sheperd dog and his name is colger


I'm supposed to be here till my contract is completed in April next year but I can take time off work to be home any time I want to


As a matter of fact if you and I get connected better and much more, I can take time off work to come visit you


There are strict rules and regulations here in the ship...First, we are not allowed to use cameras, videos and other device fr security reasons..We are being protected against Isis, ship hijackers and pirates..Second whenever the ship docks we are not allowed to go into the cities


As a matter of fact, despite the short time we've been talking my instinct is telling me you are the one designed for me

I wouldn't surprise me...
I've had this happen before...in that I find if I get contacted by a scammer, I get a whole run of them contacting me at once...
