I "met" this fellow via an online "dating site"..This is the first email I've received from him...Sure sounds like a romance scammer to me..On his profile it says he's in Calgary AB Canada and in this email he says he's from Winnipeg MB Canada..He's mentioned 3-4 times that he's a widower and lost his wife 8yrs ago...




I would like to get more acquainted with you to see where it would lead us too.

I believe that with mutual honesty, friendship, affection, and love can grow.I am not into "game playing" when it comes to friendship/relationships and I find that I totally dislike insincere flattery or someone saying something just because they think I want to hear it.

Well, what can I tell you about myself? My name is John Marz,I'm a widower been widowed for 8yrs now.I have just only 1 lovely Daughter,her name is Lisa .After the sudden and devastating death of my wife who was a wonderful,sweet and caring wife and mother. I am into Construction Engineering, so i work on a contract basis.I lost my wife 8 years ago to Breast cancer. I use to live in Malibu CA,USA but lost my house in the fire incident that happened years back now i live in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.I'm a widower been widowed for 8yrs now. I am new to this Online dating Scene and Just want to know where this will lead to..Cos a friend of mine met her right soul mate on here.. !I'm ready to relocated to anywhere i found my soul mate.Sky is the limit for me.

In terms of how i see myself, well, i think i am a very giving and kind person, passionate and loving. I love animals, nature, art and music. i love to laugh. i am thoughtful and polite and respectful, i am kind of old-fashioned about manners and the roles of men/women in relationships.

I'm Open minded,Caring,Respective,Easy going,Compassionate,Tender Loving, affectionate ,Trust Worthy ,Honest and God Fearing. Am looking forward to meet an Intelligent, Honest, Caring, and Faithful, loving Affectionate, loyal and understanding woman and I don't know maybe it's you? I was always told that beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder. Today, I can truly say if I was asked to define beauty I'd say it's you. I'm not referring to your physical beauty NO. The minute I saw your profile , It is as if God opened my soul, my spirit , my heart , my very essence of being, Just so I can truly comprehend the glory of your Inner beauty. I pray that my words are touching the depth of your heart because It’s the only way you will truly know and believe that we maybe Soul mates. If you really believe in LOVE at First Sight, if you want to have a future with a man of God who naturally knows your heart, then take my heart and let embark on a journey of bliss pleasure, companionship, friendship, growth, love, and beautiful Moments.

I love nature, God's beautiful creation. The mountains really are my favorite place to be. I used to LOVE camping and did lots of it in my younger days. I want to get back to it again!!!I listen to all kind of musics , Classical , R&B ,Soul , Jazz , Gospel and country music.

I love gardening (wish I had more time for it) and cooking; I don't need lots of "stuff" to be happy; just peace and love in my life, no drama please! Life's too short for it, don't you think? People tell me I have a good sense of humor (Remember life isn't too serious ), I do like to make people happy and can also feel their pain. Oh, I do like going to the movies, out to dinner occasionally...but I really love home life. I am very loving and compassionate, not to brag, but I've been told that so...I always thought kayaking would be fun and great exercise but I have a fear of water, I swim but not that well, my water sports consist of swimming in a pool and wadeing in the water as long as my feet can touch bottom. I love the special effects, like dramas, comedy of course, musicals and westerns.

I am not here for games But I am Looking for a serious and Long term relationship. I don't Care about the Age as it is only a number or Distance as love don't cost a thing. I believe when it is time for the Meeting I don't care about relocating, and I would Like to know More about a woman Like you may be you. I would like to know more about you?

I would like to correspond and see where we go from here.

With Loving Thought,

John Cares.
