Was contacted via friendfinder.com. Same story as above, but this time "she" was from Aruba via Armenia in Ghana. Yada, yada, yada.

Was sent a dozen+ pics unsolicited with her and some others in them. The funny thing was the email was saying how she couldn't stop staring at my profile, forget about age, distance, etc. and thinking of all the loving and caring things I said in it. "She" was also asking me questions that were obviously already answered if she had even took the time to be so interested. The BS personals post had the heading:

"Now I need you more than ever..."

With a description that only said:

"In my spaceship I'm laughing. I'm a man-machine. Drinking gasoline. I eat the city as I leave the scene."

:=)

She contacted me via messenger ([email protected]) and started the long sappy pigeon English paragraphs. Punched them into Google (because they seemed like bad postcard lines) and this site came up regarding Linda Love scam almost word for word. Even more interesting was one of the pictures was the exact pic that Linda Love had, in the exact pose, blue dress, jewelery, etc. but with a different face and skin tone.

IP address check came up with a Ghana location so at least that part was true. If you would like pics and email headers/contents forwarded just let me know.
