Hi Debra,

Could you post the first emails from these two so that the scripts will be searchable? They will likely use those scripts with other fake names, so posting them can help other potential victims.

Also, for the shaadi scammers, if possible, could you post a link to their profiles on shaadi?

Need to post photos? http://scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3219

Hi Debs,
This is a lit' information about myself..I do not have a lot of family I was born in Florida to an all round American father and an English lady studying abroad, total misfit If you ask me. When I was 5 my father moved to Romania for work and we lived in Bucharest for 12 years. My upbringing wasn't too easy you know,My dad was a bastard and a bully,sometimes he would abandon us for days and weeks and he would always cheat on mom, she did all she could to keep the marriage going but that marriage was doomed to fail even before it started and it was a miracle they stay married for that long cause according to my late maternal grandmother that marriage should have ended in its very first year but my mother was so determined to proof her family wrong because they never approved of my father, so they got divorced finally when I was 18, my mother and I relocated back to her hometown in London. It was in London that I completed my university education so when I tell you I like football just know it is soccer I'm talking about. Something happened along the way that made me decide to come live in the U.S and that my Debs is a story for another time. As for my father he passed away 2001, I hadn't seen him in or spoken to him in over 14 years so I went to his funeral in Florida. So tell me Debs what was growing up like for you? where did you grow up?I work as a Construction Engineer/Contractor/consultant but into a small business of my own now .I am not a parent but I hope to have one or two kids someday or even adopt. I would love to find somebody special with whom I could develop a lifelong partnership with irrespective of race or cultural background. I look at friends who are in committed long term relationships and what the general level of care, passion and certainty that they have. In the end I think we all have different things that are needed to complete one's happiness and mine is definitely to find the love of my life.This is my first time to try online dating and though I don't like it, i think it does offer a great platform to really get to know people on all levels,as well as the ability to connect people in different geographical regions, sometimes I guess the person right for us is not exactly based next door. I find you attractive and fascinating and I hope you and I find some kind of connection and on the case of my coming to Dubai, we can make arrangement on that cause i love traveling due to the nature of my previous job..... Do write back.
Cheers with lots of love.
Shawn

Subject: Awaiting your mail....
Hi Deb,

Its weekend and was wondering what you had planned this weekend. Anyway i went hiking today and just got back home and was hoping to get a reply from you. I sent you an email telling you some more about me and also share some photos, but till now i haven't gotten any response from you. So i just wanted to be sure if you got my email....

Waiting for your reply soon.

Walt
Hello Deb,

Lot seems to interest me on your profile, so i decided to initiate communication and so far I'm so honored you gave me the privilege to know you more. You seem quite appealing and i would like to know more about you and your view of life. Your uniqueness attracts me, and sparks my interest even more! Like i said already, I'm a mixed race, my mom is Spanish and my dad is American. I have a daughter of 16 who lives with me full time, She is Alex by name and a loving kid, who has never had that motherly love all her life, but i have always tried my all to be the best dad she could ever imagine.My dad is deceased though and mom relocated to Spain from the UK after setting up her charity organization, and like they always say, there is nothing like home.

I just concluded my M.SC, I used to work with a construction company in Brooklyn as a senior field supervisor, before moving to Georgia, Albany to be precise to set up my own firm because i thought i was getting too old working in the field :-). I'm currently working as a contractor, hence i execute contracts such as construction of houses, hospitals, rig house in offshore for oil companies, hotel and some lots more.Being my own boss is something i have always wanted and seeing myself being able to achieve that always put a smile on my face and i give God all the glory for the strength and wisdom.I live alone and like my job so much, because its fun, and i have been opportune to visit a couple of countries too. I have cousins in Spain, and also my uncle and just one cousin, are the only relatives i have here in the US.

I lead an active and healthy lifestyle, with track to distance running, yoga, cycling, dancing and swimming and i like a couple of music. My taste of music is quite varied from classical to jazz, country music. Personality wise, am confident, passionate about life, fun-loving, slightly off-center, but with the right amount of down-to-earth and mellowness, though can be unpredictable at times.Well is nice to know that you are a reasonable woman and has human value.
I am a straight man and i stand by my words i am tired of being lonely and need a good and caring partner, a partner that will always show me what love is all about and always stand by me no matter what we encounter as an obstacle in the future.I do find great interest in you and that was why i expressed my interest towards you all to show you that i am seriously searching for that spark.My personality gives me a great ability to make people feel relaxed and at ease in my presence.Being very respectful and caring and not afraid to hug ,cuddle and show my affection/emotions in public and in private .I am very open minded about people and i see life as the exploration of possibilities and giving pleasure.Life to me means friends and family who you can trust and who trusts you. I am pretty much on the happy side of life, but like others, I do have my "days of." That means I do have some sad days or depressed days.My wife died of a brain cancer, at her early age it wasn't easy on Alex, but i was able to make sure she saw it through by being there for her all these 8 years...the past may hurt but we need to get along.

When in a relationship, I'm not into looks or race. Honesty, Trust and commitment are the most important things in a relationship. A lady with a very gentle and open minded approach to life is an attraction.Unusually i am looking for a lady that does not fall in love easily and is mature enough to make a distinction between sex and Love.Naturally she might want a child but also would involve me in her existing family if that was the situation.
I joined SHAADI actually to meet that special lady that knows how to appropriate quality time in a relationship. She should be God fearing and Ideally it would be great if we shared the same passions in life, but if not a partner that would allow me to pursue my activities would be perfect, i need a woman with a vast knowledge, someone that we could invest and own an investment together someday, the one that will regard me as her family and should be ready to advice and also be there whenever i need her most.I am looking for an outgoing, fun woman that enjoys sports and movies, makes me laugh and is comfortable wasting the day away chatting about anything and everything.

I await your sudden reply and please do send me some pictures of you if you do not mind.Take care and remain blessed.

Walt.


I do not see community or different ethnicity as an obstacle, all that matters most is how compatible and willing is my partner..You sound so sweet and caring and also know what you want in life, I know the past may hurt but i want to promise you that you will never regret getting to know me because i will make sure i put my all just to make sure i always see that smile on your face.

What am I looking for in a woman? Loving, energetic, person.
A traveler. There are so many places on God's green earth i want to see. I like taking two trips a year and then several weekend getaways. I like a woman who knows what she wants in life, is financially secure and knows how to manage her money. I love a great looking yard and doing home improvement. I have a big house of my own with lots of room but i really do think its too big for the both of us (Alex and I). I love Wake Forest Basketball. Followed by football. I like history, politics and am a news junkie. I am a Virgo by the way, though i do not follow astrology. What is your sign? .Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 year...

I am an easy going young man that enjoys the fun of life to the fullest..i believe life is all about love and being loved..what else can be said to be better than love when God's greatest commandment is love...I love the truth because its the first thing that should be considered when going into a relationship, because due to my previous experience on relationship, i strongly adhere to knowing the truth about any person i would like to have anything to do with. I want to have a woman that is loving, caring,patient,kind, honest, respectful, loving, hard working,easy going and truthful...above all, she should be God fearing.

You sound like a hardworking woman, being there for your kids all these years, showing them parental care. Say me happy birthday to them. From your mail, i can tell you would like kids and eventually will accept Alex like your own kid, she is a lovely and respectful kid..About my activities, when I'm alone and less busy,i go to the gym to keep my shape fit and sometimes i play tennis my most favorite game is the game of scrabble and then chess..i also go to the game reserves during my free time to appreciate the handy work of God..swimming is one thing i love so much and i swim during the weekend.

I am a happy person. Always feeling happy from inside out all the time....as if I have got no problems, but the truth is I do have problems. Do you want to know them? Sure you really want to know?? well then, here they are: I am a lonely man. I am seeking for love, a true love, a relationship (not short term). I am seeking a lasting relationship that knows no bound, that i will be fully committed to: my world in hers and hers in mine.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon and do have a wonderful week.

Yours for discovery :-)

Walt.
Thanks for the email earlier, its so nice knowing so much about you. Probably in 5 to 10 years from now, i want to be with the woman i love most, someone who will accept me for who i am and treat Alex like her own daughter. I bet you are more than the right person to do that. I sure need someone to grow Grey hair with and relocating for the right partner is something i can do as long as we are compatible. Shalini, I really like your sense of humor and i think you are the kind of woman i would like to be a motherly figure to my daughter. My birthday is September 14Th, guess if we get along its going to be a double

You are a unique woman who knows what she wants in her ideal man and in life. We can make this work out if really we are ready to put some commitment. Thanks for being kindhearted. It is good for one to learn how to respect other people cultures, traditions and religion. I do not smoke at all but i drink wine socially or only when i am alone at home and i drink it along with friend. The only addiction i have is work, it pay the bills and i enjoy what am doing, being a freelance contractor.

Anyway, here are some few questions that i want you to answer for me, i want you to take your time to do it...

How do you deal with frustration?
Is jealousy an emotion that comes easily to you?
Do you wish you were less or more emotional?
What things make you extremely happy?
If you were to celebrate a huge success what would you do?
What is your favorite way to express your emotions of love?
When you are sad about something, how do you wish to be handled?
What do you do to relieve stress?
When you are feeling lonely, what makes you feel you better?

Hope to read from you soon.Once again am so sorry to hear about the lost of your husband.

Walt

Hi Debra,

Can you revert with the Shaadi profile id/ username for us to check and take action. The e-mail ids you have mentioned, I could find one profile which we had deleted long time back and could not find a profile using the other e-mail id.

Also, I would suggest not to disclose your e-mail id on public domain as you might get spam/ scam mails.

Regards,
Hemant
