His profile on 4ppl.com:
Looks great, doesn’t it? Well written, excellent English, lovely five-dollar words. Unfortunately, he lifted it in its entirety from another dating site. When I did a search on a phrase from this profile, the links that came up were for scammers – scammers claiming to be WOMEN!
I suspect these scammers (if indeed this is not the work of one individual playing both a man and a woman) borrowed the profile of a genuine person.
His message to me:
Not quite as erudite as the profile, is it? This message has “scammer” written all over it, from the incorrect spacing with punctuation, scammer grammar, and words spelled incorrectly that the writer of the profile should have known how to spell.

About me
I am a good communicator, friendly, possess a good sense of humor, like to be adventurous at times, dependable and loyal. I'm also compassionate to the feelings of others. I'm also affectionate when I feel comfortable with my surroundings and that person of interest. Integrity I regard dearly. Love to laugh and be in the company of good people. I am definitely DRAMA FREE!! No emotional or psychological baggage from previous relationships. I also would like to add that ostentatious, arrogant and condescending people are definitely at the bottom of my list. To showboat and constantly remark on what one has is a sign of low self esteem and will subsequently spew out negative energy. I cannot tolerate such individuals in my presence because they exude negativity with ignorance. I'm a positive person and I must associate myself with positivity. So for those with an every day saga of doom and gloom and dwelling in it rather than looking for the light in any situation to guide their way out, the only thing I can do for you is 'pray" for you.
