Hi5 and Tagged

hi there...good day to u. i am a member of hi5 and yes, u are right. it seems now that most of the people there are fake profiles, not like before when i joined. in this regard, i want to ask u how can i possibly know if the email i'm receiving is genuine? fyi, i received a friend request there and he gave me his email address to which i replied to. but i doubt it since he doesn't answer the questions i have asked him, instead posted this long letters. his grammar is okay but it just seems too good to be true. i hope you can shed light on this. thanks a lot. God bless you.

Goldengirl please post Hi5 link to profile here and also the email address. If you right button click you may be able to Google sarch the image or you can drag it across to a google image search box.Also do a search for text or email address and see if the person is listed as a scammer. What you already say tells me it is a scammer so details will help warn others.

Hello there again. Thank you for your reply. I checked his profile at hi5 but it is not there anymore. The more I believe he is really a fake. Herein his email address.
[email protected]. Thanks again for your time. More power to you and the whole team for all your efforts to combat these scammers. God bless you.

Here he is Goldengirl.

thank you so much. he is the guy i have communicated as alex mason. one of those pics is the one he used for his profile. and the words he used in those emails are almost the same to the one i received. how can i possibly know where those emails come from? i believe you have a link or can i post the email he sent me? maybe you can help me track its origin. these crooks are really everywhere. we can't trust just anybody these days. i hope he can be stopped so no one will fall victim to his wicked ways. thanks a lot. more power!!!

Golden girl.Go ahead and post as much as you can. We welcome it and it warns others. Awareness is the best tool if anyone searches it out. What you post will help others. I think perhaps headers are not so important since we have a lot of information on the scammer already.

this is the email i receive from [email protected]:

Glad to read your message I want to let you know that we did not meet by accident, but rather the will of God and am very sure God has a purpose of bringing both of us together. I am confident you are in good health. Honestly, there is so much I want to tell you and so many things I want to ask you, I don't know where to start. I am new at this online relationship thing so please understand if I am a little awkward at it. I am writing this message to you not for the fun of it, but because I want you to take some time and read it carefully.

Let me start by saying that I thank God for meeting you. As you may have known, the fountain of any relationship must spring up in the heart. It is very important for me to express to you how much you really mean to me because we are both grown ups and we want and need the same thing. I wish I could do this in person while looking into your eyes, but since we are physically separated by miles of emptiness, this expression must come in the form of letters such as this.

To me, you are first of all my friend and then...... something more greater in the near future..... God willing. To be honest with you, I am really short of words here, but one thing I do know is that I have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about through chat, mail or phone, and I have a heart; a heart that is aching to see your smile and see you not miss anything like physical companionship and the sort. I would like to use this opportunity to say...I am delighted to have met you.

I know you will be thinking about the distance between us, Distance doesn't permit the action to be seen, rather, words convey the feelings when distance hinders. No matter the distance that separates us now, I can assure you that this gap will be bridged as we really get to know each other. As the saying goes: "True Love and Friendship knows no boundaries and no distance; miles and obstacles mean absolutely nothing in the face of friendship and love" Though miles may lie between us right now, we'll never be apart forever, for friendship doesn't count the miles, it's measured by the heart.

I just want us to start as friends and see what we can come up with, I sure hope you understand that me not being with you does not take the thoughts of you from my heart. We all have to put food on the table. I am grateful and I wish us a happy and prosperous New beginning.As I write to you now, my job is taking me to Australia (Sailing for a month....)and I would really like us to chat and get to know each other better but if time cannot permit us, I am sure we'll continue to communicate with emails. HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR.

I sure hope to hear from you again.
Have a nice day
Big hug
Alex

another email...

I just returned to my room after much on the maintenance section in the ship. By myself. Realizing I left so much unsaid in my last mail. Remembering that I could still write to you like this, even if you wouldn't get it right away. You and I are forever, you know that? I want to share the rest of my life with you and I know you feel the same. Together we will decide the best way to do that. And i know your feelings so way asking about my love preaching towards you, your attention is all i need and i know your feelings towards me won't hurt because is from your heart and am so glad i had the opportunity to meet you online.since i will be in the ship for some weeks before i arrive australia for my contract business am glade i met you.

Reading through your mails makes me feel so relax and i must tell you that your attention is making me love you more and more as i told hours ago, i didn't get in touch with you just to have you as just an ordinary friend but for the one who i can share my life and love with. That's why i do keep in touch always to show how much i love you and also getting to meet each other will be something very important to both of us.

You prove to be the exact type of woman for me, I mean a woman who can handle things, A woman i can entrust our family affair in. A woman who has her own heart. Lets build our trust and honest here.. what do you think? I am glad that i could get your attention my dear. You have a special thing in your heart, and i intend to find out what it is. It could take a lifetime to figure, but i dont mind,lol..

I’m sitting here on the stairs but my thoughts are miles away. To wherever you are this moment. Wishing so much I could touch your face, your hair, that beautiful smile. Just to run my fingers down the side of your face would be heaven to me. Just to look in your eyes and see what I've been waiting to see. Just to let you look in my eyes and see my soul as I know you’ve been waiting to do. It’s there xxxxxx in my eyes. The truth of my feelings for you is getting stronger after reading the part u said "I am starting to have very strong feelings for you". I love you is not enough for what you do to me xxxxxx
And I know that after we meet that words will not always be necessary for you and I to communicate. Because of what we share. No matter how many people there are around us making it impossible for you and I to talk, you and I will communicate with looks, with touches and in our hearts. If you do not feel me now I have no doubt that there will come a day that you will. And once you know where to find it, what it feels like, you will never forget. I know when I meet you xxxxxx I will lose my feeling of you.I only have to look in your eyes to know how you are. But when I am not with you, in your presence, it will always be there to tell me how you are. Does that make you feel safe or does that scare you? I’ll always know when you need me because of that.

You are my friend, but so much more than that to me. But when I think of you as my friend whom I can always trust, I find I can talk to you much more easily than when I think of all those feeling between us still waiting to be explored and discovered. When I think of you as my forever friend, I don’t worry about what will happen between us. I just know because you are my friend that I will always be there for you, that you will always be there for me.

Have I said enough? I find I could write on and on - forever and it is with you xxxxxx But tomorrow is fast approaching and I find that I cannot wait to go to sleep and be each day closer to finally meeting you. I am trying to take my own advice about slowly moving closer to you so that when we meet it will not be of no plan but of joy.

Remain Blessed and do take care of yourself.

Cheers.
Alex.

God willing.

Ignore the lying shite of course.

Hi there, good morning! Thanks again for your time. It's stunning how these scammers go far and wide just to trick/lure innocent victims. I hope others would be warned and not fall prey to this con man. Thanks again! More power!

Hi GoldenGirl (and all potential spam/scam victims). Here in Manila, Philippines there are numerous attempts to victimise (often not so well off) people, using text, mail or via the web. The major scam topics are jobs (employment offers) and romantic interests. Some attempts are elaborate, some extremely simple. I could probably write a small book on the number of times I have helped friends track down their correspondent, usually with the result that a scam is trying to be perpetrated.

Scamming for these folks is a business. Every business has a business model (i.e. how they intend to make money, or gain some other advantage). When considering if a scam is taking place, firstly ask what it is the other party could possibly obtain from you (money/possessions/identity/goods/property/sex), and always hold this in the back of your mind. Secondly, don't be fooled and mistake persistence for genuineness, the length some of them will go to to perpetrate the scam would be frightening, if it wasn't so transparent (to the knowing).

This all serves to make us all the more suspicious, but we shouldn't forget that there ARE some genuine people out there, e.g. who would go out of their way to win a ladies' heart.

Best

John

Good day to you, John. I agree with you, there are still "real" men out there but it seems that, they are getting few and far between. I am just awed by what and how these crooks do just to get to you and suck you out. And they are getting better in what they do. I think it's best to to shy away from online men and wait for the right one for you the "traditional" way.... ....but it's best to be single and free...
