He spotted me on a dating site.
did not seem too obvious but something rang alarm bells.
We went on whatsapp and the guy had a definitely African accent. Also claimed to have lived in OZ, but did not know a lot about it.

Good evening beautiful, how was your day? Hope you are able to fix your car? I was on whatsapp earlier but you seems to be having a busy day. I find you very interesting and i pray that things work out between us. I get get your picture out of my head. I am glad i found a woman that knows what she wants. I'm very sure everything happens for a reason and i wont get tired of getting to know you. Right now i feel there is a lot of chemistry between us and hopefully this will get to a greater place. I'm very happy that you came into my life, i hope you feel the same way about me, i was on the website last night and took off my profile. I hope you can do the same, so that we can focus on each other, what do you say? I'm a one woman man, i will appreciate the same thing in my partner.

I do appreciate woman in my life because woman has always been there for me since when i was young and i have promise myself that i will never let any woman down. My late wife played a great roll in my life. she stood beside me when i was no one, too sad she couldn't wait to enjoy what see had sow..Well that is life...i want you to know that i will always do anything to appreciate you. Love is not about theory only. its based on practical. I hope you can understand my point.

I am going to give this friendship prayers, and i hope it result to something serious in the nearest future, i have some other set of questions, its a cool stuff, i mean more or less like a quiz and i feel it will make us get closer to each other and make us know lil about each other till that day we will meet.

1. If you could go back and change one thing in your past, what would it be?
2. If you were granted three wishes, what would you wish for?
3. What do you like most about yourself?

I hope I haven't scared you away with my honesty. and that may be my biggest weakness, I'm very honest and won't ever have any hidden secrets. Looking forward to read back from you soon.
Big Hugs for you.
John

That was the one which told me for SURE it is a scam, I had 5 other clues before .. like mail sent from +2 = east Africa timezone.

Hello Sweetie,

How was your night? Hope you slept well? I woke up with your you in my thoughts. It was nice talking to you last night. You are such a great romantic woman, I just see myself keep searching for your email and believe me i am getting so acquainted to you. Ever since we started sending the recent messages we've sent to each other. I like your answers, honesty and sincerity really matters in every relationship.
I've been thinking about you so much. I don't know if is too soon to talk about this but i think i should let you know my intentions. I am very loyal and will be the best friend you could ever have or want. I may not have the biggest shoulders in the world, but I am a friend for life, and want to always be there for you. I do not smoke or drink. I would try all my best to make you smile and Happy at all Time. Its nice seeing new places and meeting new people from the world, Bedroom aerobics are great, and I consider that an important part of a relationship.Being able to come home after work and hold a nice conversation is something that has been missing in my life for a long time. Believe it or not, the most sensitive part of my body is my fingertips. I love to touch!!! Holding hands and showing affection is very important to me. I believed in friendship so much because to me it is the key role to a long lasting relationship. I am looking for someone to cherish to love and be loved and i believe is you. I want the person whom i can share my ideals with, express my concerns with, comfort her in an hour of need. i am down to earth, very practical, common sense individual. I believe in trusting one another. Trust is the most important of a relationship don't you agree? Without trust a relationship cannot exist. I want to be the one that can be there to reassure You in your times when you questions something. I want to be the one that can make you laugh for i do have a good sense of humor, and a general good disposition about me. One cannot fake this, I am a one woman man and i would respect my love for who she is. My heart would not permit me to hurt my love emotionally for to hurt you would also hurt myself. I will value you like myself ,ideas, and feel that what ever you have to say is important! my values are traditional. I believe in treating people as i would love to be treated. I would like to give it a try and get to know you as deep and compassionate as yourself better. This are my interest and i want you to know yours.

Let me ask you few questions again i just you wont get tired of answering them.

1.What animal resembles you most and why?
2. If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?
3. Your idea of a dream date is?
4. What is the one thing you could not live without and why? No people, pets or phone/ wi-fi can be included! Lol!

Thanks for coming into my life Hugs and Kisses,
John.

Dear Malu,
I worked out east Africa because of the +2 time zone but I stand corrected.May I suggest, as I also had a few phone conversations with him that he might be from Kenya Tanzania or such like? His accent was definitely African so I asked him where he was born. The answer was bovine manure.

Why.. most South Africans think that I have lived there or sound like one. Many Brits think that, too. I have a Dutch accent but I am 99% fluent in English. He never noticed a thing. I even let him guess where I am from and he got it totally wrong.
He pretended to be an electrical engineer who installs solar power water heaters and panels. I AM an electrical engineer and I was not impressed with his knowledge :D Also, he told me that his 'speciality 'in university in australia had been solar power. How can a 52 year old have had this as a speciality? I asked what else he had done.. only this he said. Strange, that somebody with that background knows absolutely nothing about alternative energy in my country of residence, it is world famous for that.

He posed on connecting singles and I will certainly after two experiences drop the single thing. The first one was so dumb that I didn't even answer.

I had set another two trick questions...would you like to come for a visit I will pick you up from the airport.. but I used the neighbouring country's capital. Nobody from the pacific coast would get that wrong, he pretended to be from Oregon and didn't know the difference between L..and M....... :roll:

The connecting singles profile is now deleted but I have a screen shot on my phone, I also wisely downloaded all the photos and I can safely say that I couldn't find them in google image search or some other search tools. which made me think for a short while he might be genuine after all .
NOW... I am new here.. do you want the photos and the whatsapp number etc?
If so , where do I send it to?

:mrgreen: for myself I have decided to join 419eater rather than another match making site.
