Information on romance scams and scammers.

Actually, I am here because I lurked at this site and 419Eater for a couple years and recognised a scammer when one sent me a "wink" on Match. I'll have to mark up the photo from his profile and save his e-mails-I reported him on Match and obviously the profile vanished.

The guy's stats did not match his profile-for instance, clearly designated no kids but mentioned in his bio that he was "raising his family". Very poor english and spelling, obviously from a translator program. The guy claimed to be from Detroit, Mi, screen name SmileyMI001. He signed his 2 e-mails "Steven" and gave me the e-mail address "[email protected]". I gave him no information whatsoever about myself but immediately noticed he responded to questions only with scripts. And perhaps the funniest part of the e-mail is although claiming to be 52, he also claimed to have emigrated from a city in Hollard when he was 17. The city wasn't even built until 1971, so highly unlikely.

Googling his image came up with two different dating sites, one in Texas, one in San Francisco, both with the profile name "Brookez". Once facebook profile for a Daniel Johns also used the photo, but had no further information.

this site and others are truly a public service-I recognized this scammer immediately becuase of what you guys have circulated. Thank you.

Essay:
New to this site, here goes. I'm a hard-working man, I'm very easygoing & down to earth. I am happy with my life, career and how I raised my family. I work a lot but would love to find someone that steals my thoughts and time. I am confident and friendly and definitely not shy. I am a bit old fashion. Trusting in my relationship! Fun loving, most easy going man. Independent and strong I am adventurous in so many ways. Very spontaneous at times. My creativity will make you smile. A passion that will last forever. A touch of affectionate and you'll have me for life. Excitement that makes your heart beat fast and the anticipation of waiting for the right moment. I love being around positive and happy people. I enjoy helping others. I am drama free and choose not to involve myself with any type of negative energy. I desire someone who supports my dream and wants to be part of me. I too, will build you up and support your dream. Someone to hang with, adore, appreciate and spoil. Someone who has a positive outlook and wants the same goals as mine.. I hope am not asking for too much. LOL. Mail me if you are interested. Thank You

Hi xxx,
Glad that we can be able to communicate and get to know each other better . Hope you had a great night? Remember you now :mrgreen: - where from???.
Sorry for asking so much answers, I needed to know first. Well this is a lil more about me.I have been on here for some couple of days but have not met anyone serious.

I'm much a trusting person, for the most part, however, I have found myself to have people abuse that and make a fool of me.. However, I believe each person deserves their own chance and don't judge anyone.. In fact, I try to keep an open mind with everyone.. at least as much as a human being can.. I believe in ROMANCE! I love romance and being romantic.. I enjoy pampering the my woman (when I have one that is)..

I'm constantly told that I'm good looking and both look and act far younger than my years (while still being responsible for the most part).. Am considered intelligent, honest, capable of carrying on conversations on a variety of topics, kind, caring, giving, passionate, compassionate, a leader with a commanding presence, successful, possessing a quirky sense of humor and so much more! You will find me a contradiction in terms.. I can be intense yet laid back, intelligent yet do some of the most stupid things, outgoing yet shy, a leader yet not afraid to take directions and be a role player, funny yet serious, etc..

The reality is that I truly do seek a lasting relationship.. For this to happen we should be compatible emotionally, intellectually, socially, spiritually, physically (call me shallow but looks do matter) and, yes, sexually.. Even with all this, love must exist and there must be that ever-elusive "spark.." In essence, I seek the proverbial "Total Package.." Rather than "settling" for someone I could be happy with, I seek someone I cannot imagine living without (a subtle yet important distinction) for a lifetime together filled with passion (both in and outside the bedroom), intensity and bliss..

I guess I'm looking for a woman who can love me as I am (good, bad and ugly).. Someone who can relate about life and it's ups and downs and will want to share them.. I want my match to be able to work together to obtain goals that we've both set.. I'd like us to be able to grow as individuals as well as a couple.. I'd want our relationship to be secure so that we could feel comfortable and trust each other completely without question!..

I would want to be her everything and she mine.. I want the WHOLE package.. A friendship that grows into the ultimate loving/caring/passionate relationship that one only dreams of.. I don't want to just live with someone, I want someone I can't imagine living without.. I hope that makes sense.. I guess I'm searching for my missing piece to my puzzle.. I'd want my woman to match on all levels..

I am at a great place in my life now and want to share it with a partner on all levels.. I agree there must be a physical attraction as well.. I always say that it's what on the inside that counts and that always makes a person attractive on the outside as well.. I want to be with someone that I miss when we are not together and I can feel the electricity running through body when we touch.. Someone who likes to cuddle(I know this probably sounds corny), hold hands, hug, kiss for no reason, I want to be the couple when were 80 walking down the street and holding hands.. I just love that when I see it.. Like you I just won't settle..

I do not have a particular physical "type" that appeals to me.. Rather, I tend to look at the entire package, especially personality.. I am not the jealous type by any means.. I believe that in a relationship you have to be a family regardless if the children are not biologically yours a family is a family no matter what! I would never try to be a replacement father it just can't be done, but to be there for that child and support them and be a part of there life is a important thing!..

I hope that I didn't bore you with all this information.. I do know what I want.. I did not date for close to 3 years after my wife and I divorced all because I wanted to make sure that I knew what I want and that I was in a good place in my life and ready to share it with a partner.. I am at that place!.

I am willing to relocate provided that the relationship is moving in a long term/serious direction.. I am not interested in bopping around "trying women out".. LOL... on a more serious side, I am not about having sex with just anyone.. I must have feelings for the person and she for me.. There must be that deep seeded trust before it would move to the sexual phase.. There's just too many diseases out here and to be honest, I've seen what they can do to a life if you're careless sexually.. I wouldn't want that for anyone I know or care about.. Don't get me wrong though, if the relationship were to get to that phase, I am completely into pleasing my woman.... COMPLETELY!

Hopefully I have intrigued you to some extent.. And I do hope to hear from you soon! Take care.. Please feel free to ask me anything you like I will be more than happy to answer your questions. Keep smiling.

Cheer,
Steven
