Since the above post many details have come in. First, the scammer woos his victim.

Hello, my sweetest

I want to make tonight a night of steamy fantasy. While you're at my s make up a list of a sensual things you want me to do to you, when you got home, I'll be your man, and will eagerly follow each of your step. in fact, my only desire will be to hold you by my side. I won't be satisfied until you completely tired. And remember, I'll have a sex feeling waiting for you.

Love, you
Gen. McKinley


If Our Love...

If our love were a rose, satin petals thick with dew, I'd awaken you each morning and make tender love to you. If our love were a falcon with wings spread wide in flight, I'd soar with you beneath the stars and welcome in each night. If our love were a flame to warm body and soul, I'd stoke the fire until it raged
red hot and out of control. If our love were a garden of burning bush and clinging vine, I'd wrap my arms around you, and brush your fire with mine.

Love, from
Gen. McKinley


If Only You Knew...


how my heart over flows with love for you.If only you could see the way you fill my hopes and dreams.You're the owner of my heart,the ruler supreme.Even in the dark of night,I've only to think about you to feel your loving light and from this world I drift feeling as if I'll never touch the ground again If only you could guess how I hear your voice when others speak;for you hold the key to my happiness,and it's always you my soul seeks.If only you could feel,how your very presence has the power to heal,all the wounds inside me.You've made me abandon the pain of yesterday,and you've shown me that the past can no longer stand in the way of what I hope to achieve...If only you knew. If only you could realize the way you've shown me that it's better to give than to take,and whatever I do,I do for your sake.I'm willing to give you my all and expect nothing in return. But, oh how I yearn for you...if only you knew. that my heart desired you, more that i could thought. And whatever it could take in my heart to met you someday..........if only you knew my dreams, for our future. I'll always love you, and my heart will be just for you alone Have it my darling is yours.

Love, from
Gen. McKinley


Then the scammer will feel it's time to take this fake relationship one stage closer.

Hello honey, I dream about us every day,simple things really,like strolling the beach hand in hand,taking in the sunset together,holding you in my arms on a quiet evening, or the way it would feel to wake up beside you every morning, and how wonderful it would be to kiss you goodnight every night and sleep wrapped in the warmth of your love.I know that these are simple things,but to me they are the most wonderful things in life,the very dreams that get me through the day,and keep me hopeful about tomorrow.


You're Always in my heart...
I miss you. Everywhere I go,no matter what I do,I'm reminded of you.Even the wind carries your smile, and leads to thoughts of you. Across every path, along the smallest turn or twist,I carry you with me. Do you know how much you're missed? I think of you as I pass pretty houses lined in a row.Dreams of you rise up wherever I go.I stare at the blue sky, and can almost see your face.because I find you everywhere,in every place.I miss you. Yes, I miss you way beyond the ordinary. I miss you so much that it's almost scary. And I'm waiting daily for a word from you, as I hang onto the hope that these dreams will come true. I love you so much my darling... I hope to see you online soon Again.

Love, from your
Husband McKinley

You’re simply all i ever wanted…if you don’t want me, but I'm not saying you should love me back, just let me love you the way none has ever done.

Husband

When the scammer feels that the victim is ready, the script changes dramatically to a story of deserving orphans who need your help - be assured, no orphans will see a penny of any funds from this scammer, it's all a ruse.

Honey, do you know what? you know i told you about my friend, that been sent to West African for a UN meeting, i have made arrangement with him to move some money to him, that is been sheared by us here in Afghanistan, this money is oil money, and there's no dangers that involve it because I believed the Taliban use the money, in buying weapons and ammunition's, and i have already suggest with my friend, that i wanted to build a ORPHANAGE HOME for the helpless kids who doesn't have home to lived.

and for those who have been suffering for so many years now, they have no place to go no home to live, and this is why i decided to Invest on this, as an hospitality to the helpless ones at there. and i want you as my dear wife to suggest and add your own opinion to this idea of mine what do you think i should do?

Well, you may not know why i chose you as my beloved wife, it is because you have a kindly heart, and you are so sincere and God's fearing type. honey, i really want you to receive my money from Sir. Rex because i wanted you to take good care of yourself, before i arrive to your country, and make some necessary arrangement concerning your apartment there till i come to you, but you will not understand why i am doing all this.

It's because i love you with all my heat, and i have never do this to any other woman since my Ex cheat on me, who try to get married with a man in Mexico, and i don't want to talk about this again tell me, if you can't received my money from that damn company, i will close this conversation and forget all that we have discuss OK? I hope to hear from you soon.

Love, your
Husband McKinley


And so the scammer's alter ego of the Manager of the Securities Company is introduced.

Address.
Off:Portcullis House
London
SW1A 2LW/United Kingdom.
Emails:[email protected] [email protected] or [email protected]
General Manager.
Sir. Rex Nelson
Office Line.+447045735204
Company Name. Global Access Security company.

Deposit code.SMWUP0011C


The scammer then sends his script to "Rex Nelson" - himself in another guise, and copies the victim on this script too, to maintain authenticity.

Hello Sir. Rex Nelson. Global Access Security Company UK,

I am writing you in regards of my package that has been kept in your security company for the past three years now which you noted me to evacuate my package out from your security company as soon as possible because it has over stayed its due time.

I have send her all the necessary information she needs to know about so that she can contact you with them and you will now know she is rightful person to contact you in regards of my package, try as much possible to cooperate with her.


Best regards,
Gen. McKinley


The victim is then to send info to Rex Nelson at an address like this: [email protected] [email protected] or [email protected]

He then sends this script to his other address [email protected], copying the victim on it, as if it were real:

Hello, Mr. Kofi Anna

Gen. Craig McKinley


Then the wooing continues:

Hello, Dear

Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight. Life is the flower for which love is the honey. Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart. Love doesn’t just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only Way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time Looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love. Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young. Love is a choice you make from moment to Moment. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible... I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. An If we’re in each Other dreams, we can play together all night...In springtime, and love is carried on the breeze. I truly love you.

Love, from
Gen. McKinley


Honey, I Always Believe In You......!

Some people won't believe in you; they won't encourage you to follow your dreams, but you must always believe in you, no matter how long the journey ahead seems.

Some people will be jealous of you; their words will be sharp and unkind, but you must close your ears to such words, and never allow them to change your direction or your mind. I'll always believe in you and encourage you to follow your dreams, and I'll try my best to show you that the road is never as long as it seems.

I'll always cheer for you; my words will be warm and kind, because I truly treasure you. You own a part of my heart, and you're always on my mind.

Love, from
Your Husband



Honey, follow Your Dream...

Trouble arrives in measures, and we stack it up real high,until we're convinced, we have no reason to try. If you feel defeated, you're absolutely wrong, for if you follow your dream,you could never lose for long.

Ignore the minor set-backs that pile up and trouble you, or you will build a mountain, out of the stones hurled at you.

The future holds great promise, your destiny unknown, but God is always helping, and you're never alone. Soar bravely toward your goal. Let nothing darken the way. You can change your tomorrow, if you seek your dream today.

Love, your
Husband McKinley.


Hello, honey i am truly Crazy About You...!

I don't just dream about you--thoughts of you bring heaven to my every waking hour.I don't just want to be with you....I want to feel all the fire of existence that I feel when you're near.I don't just need your kiss...I hunger for it the way a spring rosecraves sunshine and rain.I'm not just in love with you-I'm absolutely crazy about you.You're the best thing that ever happened to me,and I'm certain that what we share will only keep getting better.

Your Husband
McKinley.
