Information on romance scams and scammers.
by Aspen2013 Fri Jun 07, 2013 10:13 pm
Anyone been in touch with. [email protected]. He told me has a daughter Chelsea 19 who goes to school in the UK. He is supposed to be a Geologist and was living in FL but recently moved to Philadelphia, PA. Already is asking me how I would handle paying my bills in a relationship. I asked why he needed to know that and he replied incase we should get together! I think he has used this line before under a different name. If this sounds familiar to anyone who is reading this, please reply! Thanks

There's not enough information to say for certain, but so far we have:

-Geologist, a favored profession of romance scammers (particularly ones who are setting up for a fake trip to an oil rig.)
-One child, conveniently located far away
-Recently moved cross country, to make it harder to pin him down and minimize the amount of knowledge he needs to gain.

Combined with the money questions, it is certainly looking suspect.

If you can post the first couple of emails he sent you, we can probably tell you for certain.

I found a similar reference to this email with a few changes. Scammers often keep the same script. Sometimes they will change a few minor details.

Wow!!! What can i tell you about my self? Hummm Okay.........I will tell you in the best way i can. Hope you will like it. Am sorry if you got disappointed. I don't have much to say about myself than I still have not met the person I want to share my life with. If a friend was asked to describe me, they would say that I am classy, confident, direct, down to earth, enthusiastic, passionate, humble, fiercely devoted and loyal, giving, compassionate, kind, gentle, physically, financially, and emotionally fit.
here's someone who loves to experience new cultures, events, anything where i learn something. i'm easy-going, keep myself fit, sees the glass as half full. i love to laugh, be spontaneous.I enjoy my life and am very comfortable with who I am. I am an attractive man, caring, sincere and a true romantic. My personality reflects my belief in being open and honest. I love dinner out, sharing an evening of good conversation,I am faithful, dedicated, easy going,loving, kind, caring, passionate and romantic. I’m a good natured man who is honest, trust worthy, decent, respectful, understanding and hardworking type of a man. I am comfortable in jeans or a suit and tie, I am out going and active. I like sports and love to go to the beach. I am a good Christian. I don't go to church regularly due to the nature of my job but i read my bible 3 times everyday. I love to smile and be happy. I enjoyed cooking and be cooked for, pamper and be pampered (Amazing, huh?) As well as to take pleasure in simple manner that will please God and the people around me. Just returned from a 3-week tour of South America visiting Peru (Macchu Picchu, Lima), Chile (Santiago, Santa Cruz), Argentina ( Buenos Aires, Iguassu Falls also Brazilian side) and Rio. I don’t smoke and i like to exercise twice in a week. I think it helps to keep young and good looking (along with my morning coffee), strong, and in decent shape to be able to enjoy life. I like the amusement parks (not those spinning rides), snorkeling, the water, fishing, camping. I enjoy watching the campfire snuggled up with someone special, cooking the morning breakfast mixed with the smell of the open fire & fresh coffee. I have an excellent professional job with a good career. I love kids and i enjoyed share time with them because you will never get bored when ever they are around you. and i believe in supporting them in their lives and activities cos they are the only legacy of life and i also love to be a good role model to them. I hope and wish i find that special woman who will come and join me in building up this reality dream of mine.
i try to keep the relationship interesting. i'm happy being on the go or snuggling with my special someone at home.I would like to meet someone who accepts me for who i am, can hold an interesting conversation, likes to be spontaneous, doesn't mind appropriate public displays of affection.i'm tired of the dating scene. i'm a one-woman man. i'm not a seriel dater. i hope to become involved in a commited, exclusive, long-term relationship. if it evolves to the discussion of possible marriage, i'm open to the concept.
I will forever be grateful to God if i can find the woman who is willing to spend the rest of her life with me. I guess you i have to stop here now so we can still have something to talk about when we finally meet in person. write little about yourself too I wait your mail back
Much Love
Steve
