Hello Beautiful ,

I was very impressed and honored to get a message from you. I would love to develop a relationship, and have some quality time with a honest,loving,caring,desiring,kind and devoted woman like yourself.....

You appear to have all the assets that would make me a very happy man.I am in search of a good woman for a long lasting relationship that will lead us into marriage I'm a Professional, goal oriented, affectionate,loving and caring person. Very romantic, creative and spontaneous.after reading through your message i felt like writing you more about my self..............1.what motivates me? I am motivated by life itself, because life is what you made it.2.what turns me on and off? Anything fake turns me off, lies and deceit.3.what attracts me to a woman? Truthfulness and respect.What really makes me get closer to a woman is the person inside, I do considers that more important because beauty fades with time but the person inside appreciates with time.4.what do I go for in a woman? I go for the inner beauty, it radiates and it speaks for itself over time and for women like you who are family oriented is an added advantage to me.5.what are my hobbies? I have talked about my hobbies on my previous email but just to mention but a few, I love swimming, scrabbling, playing checkers and seeing good comedies.6.what are my likes and dislikes? I like real things, I dislikes dramas.I want someone that will love me for me, regardless of age, distance, language barrier, cultural differences and all that. Because I do believe love knew know barriers and is the conqueror of it all and all things.7.what do I expect from you? I want you to treat me right, and I do believe in the gospel truth and that is I want a long term relationship with some real.......I am in search of true love and happiness with the right lady. I desire to shower the real lady with lots of love, respect, loyalty, happiness and care.

I desire fun, long lasting relationship with the right lady, I don’t care about race, color or age. Let’s get along; we might find outmost love, care, happiness and desire in each other.

It takes two to tangle and it takes love, care, trust, reliability, encouragements and proper understanding between two lovers to make a love relationship work out. It takes commitments, compatibility, passion, humility, tenderliness, steadfastness and alot of other things to make a love relationship interesting and worth staying and dieing for but more importantly love, care and trust are the major factors.

I know that I am not perfect but if I am a rightful, loving, serious, real and caring lover, I will be extremely mindful, loving and caring too. Although love relationship might be full of ups and downs but I believe that if there is much love, care ,devotion,intimacy,trust and understanding, there would be no problems at all, it will all be fun at all times (smiles!!!!).

I promise to do my best to make the right lady extremely comfortable and happy with me if she is truly ready for me, I will be tolerant,committed,loving and will make the relationship work out.I don’t care about race,color,riches,distance but I care about true love and happiness.If i may ask when did you join the site??If we found out that we are met to be in life i can travel to you...Relocating is no my problem...

I hope to hear from you pretty soon ...Please send my warmful greetings to everyone around you most especially your family..do have a nice weekend.....Stay Blessed..

Gray.

Subject: More About Me.

Hello Beautiful..
Thanks for taking out your time to write me, here is a little about me...My names are Gray Allen,5ft9,blue eyes am from California,United States.My wife died 5 years back and since then i have been single,i am in search for true love with the right woman for the rest of my life. I have a daughter name Michelle she is 15 years old she is a God fearing little girl she love and respect the lord she attend the catholic school and live in the convert she is all i have i love her so much.......

I am an easy going man with lots of respect for women because I know what importance they play in our life's either as a mother or as a wife.
I am kind, caring, fun-loving and romantic guy that loves getting to know lots of new people. I enjoy going to the pub with friends, meals out, cinema, theater, walks along the beach, cycling and playing/watching different sports.
My achievement with my profession at its peak means nothing to me until I can have someone to share my dreams ,anticipation and all with.
My friends say I am humble, understanding, friendly , funny and some just say I am a good friend with a basic understanding and value for true friendship. My wealth of experience gathered through work trips is really a plus to my person and if you dont mind I could share lots about my experience. Life is a great teacher and i think you just might be in a better position to tell me what kind of person I am which I am optimistic would be a positive remark.Spontaneous is a word to describe me.
Work has not provided me the best of life experience although it’s very stressful but the bulk of experience would further assist me in managing my life with that of my special woman.
I am a Contractor in oil and Gas Company... My work is so demanding and have made me traveled..
I like swimming and exploring nature on led the walking trails of the state parks. I love to spend time walking on paths in natural gorges with running water and waterfalls.
I like animals, but i don`t have any lol... I don't smoke, drink socially and have a very straight sexual orientation. I love to go tent camping in the woods. I also love taking a jet ski out on the lake! If I am home. I really do enjoy yard work taking care of the bushes, flowers and cutting the grass, I take pride in my lawn. If I am out on the town during the evenings I like to go to established bars NOT with a rowdy crowd, not trendy, flashy, high dollar new places, someplace where I can go and play some darts or pool. I suck at both, but I enjoy pretending I know how to play and let the women win.
I enjoy watching humor movies, and when it comes to music, i prefer to listen to r&b.My favorite romantic activity is any outdoor romance.
Favorite Music Video- RUSH in RIO DVD, the concert in Maracana stadium. Current Favorite Artists / Bands I don't have a clue about the new music artists playing on the radio nowadays. I haven't watched the Gramme's in years.
Favorite Video Games I am way too old to be playing video games. I dont have a Sony play station, or a Microsoft Xbox360. Putting a quarter in the machine and playing Galaxian or Pacman is my knowledge of video games.
Favorite Movies My favorite movie is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The soundtrack in that movie was non-stop and kept the action moving. I love the line "Dr. Jones, Dr. Jones"!!
Favorite TV Shows I enjoy watching the old television shows that are on Nick at Night such as the Andy Griffith Show, Get Smart, Partridge Family, All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Quincy MD., Love Boat, Fantasy Island, M*A*S*H, Three's Company. Ok, enough going down memory lane. If you would like to talk about television shows that are on nowadays, I enjoy watching; LOST, Desperate Housewives, 24, The Sopranos, Dead Like Me, Oz. I am a news junkie so you will frequently find the TV turned on to Fox News Live. CNN has gone downhill.
Favorite Books -Anything written by H.A. Rey!! Hope you understand, if not look up what he wrote. Vince Flynn is one of my favorite authors. His protagonist character, Mitch Rapp, is the epitome of what all American males would love to be. I also enjoy books by James Baldacci, some of his bests novels are Split Second, Hour Game, Camel Club. You may know who Mitch Album is, he wrote Tuesday with Morrie and the Five People you Meet in Heaven. I also like John Grisham novels, and his novel BLEACHERS will touch the hearts of every guy who remembers his high school sport days. I have read all four of Dan Browns novels, I read The DaVinci Code long before it was common and popular. The movie was predictable, it followed the book page by page.

Please feel invited to say anything, to share your intentions, your objectives in detail as much as you feel fit doing. Love knows no bounds but what you put in is what you get out of any venture in life..hope to hear from you soon....Stay Blessed.. I wait to read from you as soon as you can.

Cheers xxx,

Gray Allen



Hello xxx.

I am really impressed with outtermost pleasure whenever i get your message.I told my friends at work about you and that i am communicating with you and they are happy for me as well.I am really new to this online dating stuff and i pray to God that all will work out fine for me so God can give me the woman of my dreams and also a good woman like yourself.

As for me,am looking for a partner who keeps a sense of humor about most things. Someone who takes care of themselves physically and mentally . Someone who knows how to speak their mind without being abrasive/rude. Someone who is competent and takes care of their business and appreciates enjoying what there is in life. Someone who will be a true friend, who will watch out for my interests while I am watching out for theirs.


Here are also some questions for you,

1. Besides love, what one trait have you noticed in couples that have maintained a successful relationship for many years?

2. How important is chemistry to you?

3. What are you looking for in a relationship partner?

4. Tonight you can do anything you want, no penalties, no reprisals, and the cost is unimportant. What are you going to do?

I put God first in everything i do because he his the reason for my being alive and well today.Lets just hold on tight to God and believe that it will work out.I hope you are having a nice day and also taking good care of yourself..

Take care of yourself and awaiting your next message.....Stay Blessed..

Gray.

I got him from SHAADI.COM the Indian matrimonal site. Please help me to identify him.

[AlanJones]

It's a scam.

I did a search of "As for me,am looking for a partner who keeps a sense of humor about most things." and there are many hits from various dating sites for that sentence (and the rest of the paragraph).

Additionally, there is the use of a +4470 redirect telephone number, which is a sure sign of a scammer.

Hello Debra,

I removed your personal information to protect your privacy.

The writing alone (when it is not copied) tells me with absolute certainty that the person who sent those letters is African, not American.

My friends say I am humble, understanding, friendly , funny and some just say I am a good friend with a basic understanding and value for true friendship. My wealth of experience gathered through work trips is really a plus to my person and if you dont mind I could share lots about my experience

Word for word seen on topic:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33183&p=98415

Take any sentence or paragraph of his rambling letter and google it..there is a good chance you will get a hit on a previously reported scam, another scam profile, or even the source of his 'copy&paste'!

Also the words/phrases "Contractor" and "God Fearing" will immediately put my senses onto high alert!

SCAM.....YES......100%

Today, I want to tell you about how much I think about you and how much I have fallen for you. I wish I could read your beautiful mind and see what your love for me is. I'm loving you with all my heart and yet I have no idea if you feel the same way. My heart is ready to split in two because I need you and yet I don't know if you need me. From the bottom of my heart to the height of my will, I confess my everlasting love for you and I hope you will respond likewise. My days and nights are now brighter than anything, because with you it's like I have my Moon on my lap. Dear, you make me feel extraordinary. I feel myself flying and feel that the world is such a beautiful place now. Thank you so much for your love and your care which you give me every second of my life, and thank you so much for thoughts of me, they guide me through my days.

I know that I can't give you as much love and care that you will give me because I know I can't be an angel like you. You are a real Angel. You are an Angel of love and kindness. I really adore you and want to give you my hearty feelings. I pray today that you continue to be blessed and live long. I tell you today that no one can take your place in my heart as I'm here for you every second of my life with lots of love and best wishes.

Always about you,
John

to me


Hey Honey...Your emails are so inspiring. They speak of a great heart willing to love and be loved. I envy so many things about you (your strength, your spirit of expression and your courage). You surely possess the attributes of a potential woman for any responsible man.

It's been a relaxing day for me here. I'm having a great time with Isabella and her friend Ashley who lives next door. I'm taking them out to a park around and would do some mini shopping. I'm resuming work tomorrow and I can tell tomorrow is going to be a hectic one for me, as I have so much piled up for me to attend to.

How is your weekend going? I hope you had a good time last night with your friends. It's funny how you make me smile these days. I write to you with a huge smile on my face. Everything just seems too good to be true to me right now. I feel like I'm on dreamland and I need to wake up.

Isabella won't let me spend another minute to write this note to you. I would love to write more, but will write much better when I can. I just check you on yahoo messenger, but I guess you aren't there. I don't use a smart phone.

You're always in my thoughts.

John

to me


It's been a lovely day with thoughts of you. I have been on and off writing you this email since 5:35 am. I feel I owe you some expressions about how I feel. I feel I have to explain to you what I might have not explained to you properly. I believe we all have dreams, dreams we all long to achieve. I do have dreams and envisions, but all these are just about me and Isabella, I also have plans, dreams and envisions about my future partner, but dreams and plans of us, how would that work when you aren't involved in the planning? Believe me, I'm living many of my dreams today, dreams of being able to make everyone around me happy, dreams of having a good career, dreams of being a blessing to those around me and dreams of living comfortably. I only have one dream which is yet to be fulfilled, which I believe you know. Being in love with the right person is a dream which seems to be another world entirely, where all dreams are revisited, where my thinking would be reconstructed as a father, a husband and a man of honor, who has someone to share the grace of life with. I wonder if I'm making sense to you right now. All I'm trying to make you understand is that, whatever dreams I have now, it’s secondary, my Primary dream would be brightened when I have you. A single man's dream is self-centered, I can't be dreaming of living in Asia with my partner when she has been dreaming of living in Australia with her partner, as couples, we have to dream together. Most of my plans for Isabella are plans a father would offer a daughter, but do you think a father can make perfect plans of a mother for her daughter? Isabella loves dancing, and she enjoys swimming. She attends a dance class every Wednesday and Friday evening. Her dance teacher shares the same name with my mom Sharlene. Isabella wants to be a Nurse in the future and that makes me happy. I'm happy that I have a daughter who in the future would be saving lives and caring for people. It's a dream for me to make her dream come to past. There is an annual poem reciting competition that comes up at the end of every summer term, where parents have to write poems for their children. Last year Isabella won the 3rd prize and she was happy about it. The prizes are given to both the children and parents. It was a great day and a sad day for me when she won this prize, for when they called on Isabella and parents to come out for their prizes, I came out alone with Isabella, with every other kid coming to stage with both parents (mother and father). Those are situations where you really feel the need for truelove. Honey, many of my thoughts and feelings are better expressed in person, so you could understand exactly how I feel. It takes so much to truly be able to read my feelings from these words. I'm a responsible man which I'm proud to say anytime of the day, and it hurts me you can't see this clearly.

I know you have been through some difficult times in your past relationships, but I advise that you should not be weighed down by your past; do not bring negativity into your thoughts for it affects them, that has been my motivation. You always have to be positive about whatever you put your heart into. The fact that you have dated unserious men doesn't mean you don't deserve someone serious. Remember, the fact that something great ends, doesn't mean something greater won't begin. You are destined for success and not failure, never settle for less. I haven't been so open with a woman in my life with the way I'm open to you. My dream place to live with my future partner, (I hate to say it that way, for it is you I want to be my future partner). My dream place for us to live is Bahamas, I wish we own a house in one of their resorts. Who knows you might have a brighter dream than mine. I can't force you to live my dream which you might not like, but believe me, I can live in your dreams as far as you're there with me. Your dreams matters to me more than mine should matter to you. Women are more emotional and committed to their dreams than men I believe. A man could be dreaming of a car now and wakes up one morning, thinking the next car is a better dream. I intend taking Isabella on a surprise to Disneyland, which she has always been dreaming of. I'm checking out another vacation on here http://www.beachesresorts.co.uk/families/kids.cfm which I think would be fun, but this would me much more fun with you. I hope you would join us.

As an adult and as a man, my eyes have seen so many, so much which I cried for in the past. When I think about them now, I don't cry over them anymore. The only thing that makes me cry today, that brings so many tears to my eyes is, when I see Isabella cry, I hate to see her cry, and most times when she cries, she cries because she says she wants to see mom. This comes as a result of going to school and her peers are always talking about what their mom does for them every day, so she sometimes come home and says, daddy, when is mom going to take me to the park? All I can tell her is don't worry I will take you, and then she starts crying, saying I want mom to take me there. Gifts, toys and all these material things don't comfort a baby more than parental love and guardian. Both parents have to help their kids grow strong and emotionally. The only thing that can put these tears away is you. If you would be ready to take care of Isabella like you own biological daughter. I already see us living together and I can imagine how beautiful that seems.

I work as an independent contractor, I go in search for contracts on building, repairing and construction of oil rigs, over-water bridges etc. and when I get them, I have a team of qualified engineers whom I work with. Sometimes I don't necessarily have to be there to work most especially at the beginning of the job, as we all understand our jobs perfectly. I'm responsible for the financing, the provision of materials, the organizing and the direction of work to be done. We sometimes rob minds as to doing a perfect job. My job sometimes require a hundred per cent attention. This on-going project is estimated to be completed on or before the 7th of June, 2012. Then after the project, I intend quitting my job, and investing into something lucrative. As for financial crisis, one has to keep earning, for if you aren't earning and you're spending, there would be crisis. I'm fine and happy with my financial state. I don't have too much cash though, but I have assets that put a smile on my face about my (our) future. I'm still thinking of what to invest in and I'm open to ideas. I want my money to work for me this time, not me working for money anymore.

I enjoy cooking but I'm not a good cook. The only dish I can do perfectly is an Italian dish which is Riso (Rice), Risotto with saffron and Riso with shrimps. I love Italian dishes, little of the Chinese dishes and I also like some African dishes. Living in Ohio is quite relaxing but that isn't the best for me. To be honest with you, I have always loved to live close to an ocean, by the beach. I love the feeling of waking up to have a great view of nature. That turns me on. Being natural turns me on and holding hands, kissing my woman turns me completely on. I usually don't kiss, but when I do, I kiss passionately and that turns me on. Would you believe it's been 3 years since I either made love or had sex. That's a secret...lol...When was the last time for you? Are you romantic? Do you enjoy discussing romance? What turns you on? What are your dreams and where is your dream place to live? Tell me more about your job. Tell me more about your financial state. When do you see yourself retiring your job? Do you ever plan to look into something else? Have you ever thought of relocating? Do you like me? Are you in love with me? If so, do you love me enough to want to take life risks with me? Will you be that woman that would never seize to make me happy? Do you see us living together happily for the rest of our lives?

Sometimes I wonder what I have done to deserve a second chance. I lost one and yet I found another angel. How did I become so lucky? I trusted my instincts and got only you from that market and you turned gold. My instincts still direct me, move ahead with her in your journey. I really thank my God. Every time I ask for something good, he gives me the best. Take me to your heart, take me to your soul, and show me that wonders can be true. They say, nothing lasts forever, we are only here today, and Love is now or never, please bring me far away! Give me your hand and hold me, show me what love is, maybe I haven’t got a clue, be my guardian star. Take my hands before I am too old, lol. I could go be with some friends to have fun, but they don’t really comprehend. I don’t need too much talking, without saying anything, all I need is someone who makes me want to sing, and you do a great job on that. I have written a song I would sing for you when I get to you. In less than 2 weeks I will handover and come to you, where I belong. Would you mind picking this old man from the airport? lol.

Have you ever danced in a rain? Give it a trial and see how free your soul really is. We should really take this to another level. Let me hear the voice of an angel. Be warned I have been told I have an unsorted accent, but sexy,lol. When could we probably have a chance to have a live chat on yahoo messenger? Now that I can hardly get you out of my mind. I wonder if there would be anything to talk about when we meet in person...lol...I think it's time we starting hearing wonderful and horrible voices and accents. Here is my number too +441314716128 . I will call you later in the day.

Your love,
John

Hello My Sunshine,

You must wonder why I call you sunshine, it's because I can't get the picture and thoughts of you off my mind, they lights up my heart. I feel like giving you a hug. You are just a lovely woman with a heart so bright and I feel this. The only reason this was possible is because you must have portrayed yourself well and you have been the wonderful being you're made of and this is truly the best I can ever wish for of a woman. If I ever fall in love with you for beauty, I won't walk more miles to see more beauty, If I love you for wealth, I won't walk more miles to see more, If I love you for smiles, I would see more on TV, but the only thing I can fall in love with is You, which can't be cloned or gotten from anyone else because its being You that makes me want to give up everything I'm doing just to be with you. Like I said earlier, it takes a life time to try knowing the reason why you feel the way you do with some people. The answers are never there, trust me, the day relationships starts falling is the day people can figure out the exact reason they have loved each other. Life is boring if perfect. Life is worse when there is nothing to change about anything.

The balance in life is based on the facts that, there must be thieves and criminals for the police to remain employed. The medical practitioners would run out of business if we are all hale and hearty. The legal practitioners would die of boredom if there are no offenders. If everyone are vegetarians, Oh my! Guess how many people would not earn a living. Christians bring out the best in Christianity because of the presence of Islam. Whites gain from Blacks, Blacks gain from Whites. If everyone is rich, wealth would be meaningless. Who would do the laundry? Who would drive the cars? Who would guard who? Who would keep whose money? The essence for this paragraph is that, if you can read the meaning in this, then you are my woman for sure, for you understand what it takes to live in a better world. We were all created for each other. There is much fun in helping. We can all be better if we accept the fact that we can't live without each other. The world would be a better place if we can start accepting things we can’t change, because the only constant thing in life is CHANGE! Sitting here thinking about you, brings out a part of me that loves everything.

I have a proposal for you this wonderful day, because I know you at least care about me, after all, you wake up to check on my email and know if I'm still alive, lol. That is something. So I want your help today. There is this woman, whom I just met, and I sometimes wonder how she has gotten my attention in such a short period of time, but I would be stupid to submit to fears. I noticed that she already has a place that cannot be replaced in my heart. Who could ever think of hurting such a woman who only wants happiness? I want you to help me find her and tell her, I am not known for fears. I know a journey of a thousand years start with a single step. A man who wants to fly must at least learn to stand on his feet! Kindly tell her if she is willing, I would love to take her hands. I am a man who gives nothing or everything. Once I have her hand, I can promise her forever. Tell her I know this is not going to be a kid walk, tell her I know there are times we would argue in future, but tell her I would teach her to know that even while we argue we would still be holding hands, because there are two sides to a coin. Tell her life is short, but we can make paradise out of it. Tell her, her worries have become mine, because I do not really know how she has done it. Also tell her that coming across her was by chance, communicating with her was by choice, but then falling for her is beyond my control.

You know where to find her my dear, just go to your dressing mirror and you would find her staring back at you. Please look into her eyes and speak this to her for me.

Baby give me your heart, love and trust, for mine is yours now and forever.

Your prince charming,
John


P.S. I love Italian, Mexican and Basically all kinds of food. I enjoy exploring new meals. I'm not that picky when it comes to food.
