Information on romance scams and scammers.

I was on a dating site and not received a scam in a long time, anyway pretty sure this is. Received the following mail:

Hello there,
Looking at your profile and picture looks very sparkling and nice so I decided to say hello to you and see if we can get to know more about each other. I hope you are doing good. My name is James and i am new on here. Anyway how long have you been on here and also what are you looking for in your ideal man.I am not looking for beauty of the face but looking for the beauty of the heart.I am looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with.It will be nice to hear from you soon when you get the chance.You can Just drop me a mail through my personal email because i sometimes get too busy to get on here.I will respond to you as soon as possible. I would be more than glad to hear from you when you get the chance.The email is xxxxxxxxxxxxx.Just add them together and you will get my address.Take good care of yourself and be good.

After replying to thank him for the mail I saw he had put up this profile:

Searching for someone that still believes in the magic of romance and understands that it is the little things that makes us smile. I am affectionate, intense and fiercely loyal. I am comfortable in all types of situations. I enjoy cooking or going out to dinner, weekend trips, movies, quiet evening at home with each other. Ibm and the ultimate romantic so quiet evening can be somewhat adventurous from time to time. I am spontaneous, creative and fun to be with. Honesty and integrity are high priorities of mine and finding that special someone that is not into head games, lying, and wants to have a serious committed relationship is number one with me. Life can be lonely without that someone...I am a person who is very real when it comes to life and its' issues. Am honest,kind caring,affectionate,good sense of humor,easy going,free thinker,trustworthy and respect the lives of other people.Someone that is ready to share her life, dreams and goals with me and be as supportive of me as I am of them. A lady that yearns for love and will give love in return. A woman that can appreciate being pampered and treated like a GODDESS without taking it for granted. So there you have it.


We have been communicating for about a fortnight and his profile said he lived in my area. However he was always cagey about exactly where he lived and gave me two names - the last one saying there was a pond in the middle of the town, which I knew for a fact there was not. He made several mistakes and I totted these up in my mind. He said he was half american and half British and had been in England since he was 21 and he said he was now 62, with a son aged 12 yrs. and that he was a miracle baby. His wife had apparently died one year after his son was born and that was 8 years ago. Well that didn't add up! Last night we exchanged mobile phone numbers and he rang me - well the accent was Ghanian or similar and I could hardly understand him. Not at all like I would have expected from half English and half American!!! He actually gave me two numbers and think there must be two of them. On a trace I made it seems one of the numbers was from Germany. I couldn't find out about the other one but expect it was the same. The photographs displayed were of a fine looking fair man of about 62 and he sent me a couple more. Obviously he spent a lot of time abroad in different countries. This morning he sent me 7 pictures including two of his "son" - in all 11 pictures so far. I can't believe he had all these pictures and he said he was going to send me some more. I thought my luck in meeting such a nice looking man was too good to be true!!!! However did he have so many pictures if he wasn't real I thought!

These are a few of the emails I have received, the rest I binned:

Hello My Angel,

Morning greetings does not only mean saying good morning but it has a silent message saying i remembered you when i woke from bed.How are you today? Hope all is well with you. Thank you very much for the email..You brought great smiles on my face..Your words brought butterflies in my stomach after reading..I'm so glad i have someone like you to be saying all those nice things to me and i promise you will never regret getting to know me because i promise to make you the most happiest woman on this earth if we should finally be together..

When I wake up in the morning, I think of you. When I go to sleep at night, I think of you. And for all those hours in-between, I think of us.Even in a total eclipse of the sun, you brighten my life.
Jan, I am not just an imagination..I am a real man whom God has sent to make you a woman of happiness.

I want you to know that Someday somehow whatever we prayed for will come true, it may not be in the exact package we wanted but it'll be what God thinks is best for us and that's what we are experiencing now so Have Faith Today.

You have a cute yawn on your face, A cup of coffee in your hands. All that remains is a good morning message from me.
Have a great morning..Stay blessed and God be with you till we meet online tonight.

Love always,
James


Hello Beautiful xxxxxx
Good morning and how are you doing? Hope all is well with you and also had a very sound sleep.When you wake up this morning, kiss your loved one on the forehead and wish them a good day.

I went to sleep last night with a smile because I knew I'd be dreaming of you ... but I woke up this morning with a smile because you weren't a dream.lol I could say that you complete me...but that would be a lie, because every morning when I wake I long for you more than the day before.

I really enjoy all our chats so much and you seem to be a very great woman sent from heaven. Are you sure you are not an angel God has sent to me? Will always want to get the chance to chat with you.Getting to know you had been a very special something in my life and i am only waiting for the day when we shall be together and spend our lives together.

You are the first thing to enter my mind in the morning and the last thing to leave my heart at night.Like the sunshine in the morning, may this brighten your day, and remind you that you're thought of in a very warm way. Wish the best for the day and have a very wonderful and blessed day.

Love always,
James

Good morning Angel,
How are you doing today? Hope all is well with you and i do hope you had a sound sleep too. I am very sorry i could not get on last night. Dont know why the connection would sometimes not want me to talk to you. I did wait for over an hour thinking it will work but it didnt so had to go to bed. I am sorry for you waited for too long. Thank you very much for the pictures. You have wonderful children. Hope they will like me when i come to you at home.

I love animals too very much. Angel, i hope we can try to make to meet online tonight because i missed our chat very much last night. I was thinking very much about you and what you might be doing behind the computer at that time.
Anyway, will wish you a very great and blessed day and hope to meet and chat tonight.

Take care for me,
James


So I would appreciate views on this and where I can send a picture that is not too complicated. Many thanks.

Hello chainfree. We do want the email address and links. We don't want your personal information so include the stuff concerning this maggot and we can have a hunt about a little more and make life tough for him.

Definitely a scammer, no question about that. The writing is distinctly African (when it's not copy/paste, anyway.)

As for how he got the pictures--scammers often steal photos from aspiring models/actors (because they often have extensive portfolios posted online) and/or they find a facebook or other social networking or photo-sharing page from someone who has lots of photos, then just take the photos for their scamming use.

There is a link in my signature line for how to directly post photos. Uploead Eater is the easiest way.
