It appears I am being wooed again by another scammer. This just happened today coming via Facebook. Now that I have learned from the last time I will not fall for this again. I just wanted to warn others out there.

Following are the messages: ( I will try and post a photo)


"What a nice and sparkling smile. I wouldn't trade that smile for anything. I don't know you, I was searching for an old friend, when i stumbled on your profile. I got entangled in that wonderful smile, couldn't stop myself from saying hello. Please always wear that smile."
..

"Thanks for your response, I think it would be formal if I get to introduce myself. I am Paul Smith .I am from United Kingdom (England). I was born July. 5th I am 49yrs old. I am a Civil-Structural Analyst and I work as the Field Supervisor for my company, My job takes me to different part of the world.

I am widowed, lost my wife 4 yrs ago, February 26, 2007 to cancer of the breast. I got an only daughter (Jasmine) she is just 11 yrs old and staying with my sister in Leicester because of the nature of my job. She says she wants to grow up and become a professional ballet dancer. I spend my quiet time listening to music and reading. That's basically me, summarized into those 6 lines.

Take care and hope to hear from you soonest. You can tell me about yourself, if it's okay with you. Always wear that smile."

My Best Regards,
Paul Smith

Please also post up email address. Apparently, your Facebook page is very wide open and that is how scammers are coming at you.

HI!

I am not sure how to find the address on Facebook. Do you have any suggestions? I have my FB settings high so only my profile pic is visible. The messages are coming in under "other".
Trying to get a pdf of the picture. Hopefully I can dowload today.

Thank you!
