The following information was sent to me. I was asked to post it as written. (BW)I met “Sgt. Mike Edwards” on online at Match.com. He is currently using the email address of
[email protected].
Here is his initial email:
“Hello , just done with the email and i hope you will read it and understand it because i wrote it with my heart..I know this is too much to read but i just want to be opened to you and tell you everything about me so that you will find it easy to get to know who i am..please take you time and read and understand it very well.
How are you doing and how is your day there again? i want to say thank you so much for given me your email and the nicechat we had , it gave me a very good impression about you and will like to tell you all about me so that you can know who i am so that we get to know each other and see where it lead us as it always Good to make new friends..
Anyway You already know my name as Mike Edwards...lol, I was born on the 10th Nov, 1960 at thee Baptist Hospital of Bedford..I started A & A Children start 6 and later on continued from Calvary Baptist Church School and spend part of my life in Texas and live there as well in Bedford, I joined the Military academy at the age of 25. .. My mom was a business woman and dad was in the medical field of the army and later worked with the UN and later work with this Mining Company as Manager before he past away...
I am Sargent Edwards. USA soldier who also work for the UN as First Class Sargent in Logistics , i love my job so much as i have help innocent souls and God has richly blessed me for that as well, i joined the Army because of love and care i have for people and my country and i have always vow to work hard and achieve and make peace and i think so far i am proud of my self, cus my work has taken me around the world and hope to find someone to continue this adventure with..
I am a very open minded person, someone who accepts people as they are, I am a fair individual who adapts to changes in life and enjoys life to the fullest,and looking to meet a woman that i can spend the rest of my life with in good times and in bedtimes as well, A woman that I can love and cherished with all my whole being and heart and I pray to God almighty that he will provide me with that kind of a woman someday in my life.
I pride myself in being honest and most trustworthy, I seek that in a mate, someone who is compassionate yet understanding. who has a calm demeanor and a great personality.
I am looking for a partner and a lover and best friend who I can share the most intimate dreams with. A well rounded individual and a spiritual person.What makes a relationship ideal to someone is how much time and effort one puts into it and how committed two people are to it.I want to meet a woman that is tolerance level and how far she can go in life , If she is willing to stick around when the going gets tough and she will be there for me and I will be there for her too when the going gets tough on us. If she will still love me when I am falling apart.
I generally try to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle, exercising and some sort of jogging, 3-4 days a week and eating healthy, (trust me, I love pastries, but try not to over do it.I would also like to find a like-minded female where we can participate in activities together and encourage each other to pursue our interests as well.I have several hobbies, and wish I could find more time to pursue those, such as swimming, playing computer games, dancing,listening to good music and reading the Holy Bible,cooking playing basketball and more,and would like some one to share those with, as well as their sharing their interests with me..I am generally an optimistic person with a good sense of humor,fairly easy-going, and I don't think that I'm too critical about things, but I also believe that it takes two people contributing to a relationship to make it work.,I like to do things with the other significant person in my life, but I also encourage her to go out and spend time with friends and pursue her own interests and hobbies as well.I believe that time spent apart helps keep things fresh in a relationship and makes the time we do spend together even better.
I'm not one who cheats in a relationship; one woman is enough trouble, I don't have the time or energy to juggle 2, 3, or 4 at the same time ha ha lol smile..But I also want to be in a relationship where I can totally trust my partner and not dwell on how the relationship is NOT working.
I DO NOT expect a woman to be a servant to me, spending all her time working and and cleaning; I believe there is give and take in a relationship, and I realize that at times it's more convenient for me to do laundry, cook, clean, and I have no problem doing that because I believe and I have being thought by my Father that it's also man's responsibility to do the house works and house chores as well.
Well I hope that this lets you know a little about me, and I hope I don't come across as being too cynical, harsh, or mean sounding.I will give you the benefit of the doubt (we're all human, we all make mistakes), but I also don't like being taken advantage of.
I'm just asking you to keep it real and be honest from the beginning,that way, nobody is wasting their time or getting their feelings hurt.I also realize that at times two people are just too different to be in a relationship together; it doesn't mean that it's anybody's fault, it's just that they're too different to be compatible.I did not have much to say on my profile , you know because i just got signed up on it.lol
Tell me a little more about you too.okay and you can ask me anything you want to know about me and i will tell you. Will end for now take care and
have a very good day and hoping to Hear from you soon...
Bye for now.”
Yes, he is up to his usual scamming. As a result of this website, I found out about him and fortunately I NEVER sent him any money. He appears very charismatic, but if something appears to be too good to be true, it usually is.
Although we have never met, I did video chat with him on Yahoo; however, he did not appear on camera, as he said that due to his “secret and dangerous mission” cameras were not allowed at the camp (seemed logical to someone that is not familiar with military procedures). Like I said, we never met; we only texted, and chatted, daily. Yet, he pledged his undying love for me!!!!!!!! I found this suspicious and as a result of the daily chats, and this website, my suspicions proved to be true. While he never asked me for any money, the subject of money came up as a result of his birthday, November 10th. He said that he would like to celebrate his birthday with friends by sharing food, drinks and snacks, but he said that he didn’t have any money and the military would not allow them to access their bank accounts or credit cards. I was thinking that this shouldn’t cost that much, so I asked him how much it would cost, as I was thinking about sending the money so that he could celebrate his birthday; after all, he was fighting for our country right!!!!!! When he said $500, alarms went off in my mind! Consequently I began searching the web about military procedures and soldiers access to money. By the grace of God, I discovered Scamwarners.com as well as more than I wanted to know about “ Sgt. Mike Edwards ” and his scams.
While he says that home is Phoenix, Arizona, he has a cell phone with a Cincinnati, Ohio, area code. Of course his rational for that was that he is using a free text service and can use whatever area code/zip code he chooses. I never saw any of the pictures he sent me online and will get them posted if possible (not to sure I know how to do it).
I feel for the real Sgt. Mike Edwards and his family. I hope this will help other females that may encounter this individual!
