Information on romance scams and scammers.

I just want to say thank you to this site. I found you in time to not get scammed. I am newly single after 30 years and decided to join a dating site. I met Robert Cook on Zoosk.com. He is a Captain in the Army deployed to Kuwait. Born in Irving Texas, grew up in Spain & London. Widowed with a 5 year old son. Sound familiar?
He sent me a Leave request form and needed $436 for a secure line. He even sent me a Citi statement that looked real enough with his name. Over $12,000,000 in 2 accounts. But he doesn't have access to his money. I researched about having to pay for a secure line with no results. Then as a last thought I put in the form #'s and all kinds of red flags started showing up. I told him I would not send any money. That if he was for real he would find a way. Well, I havent had any other correspondence from him and was going to report him on Zoosk but his profile is gone!
I can't thank you enough for keeping me safe! Lesson learned. I hope I'm smarter next time but not fair for the true gentlemen out there that will not be able to gain the trust as easy.

About me:
I am sweet, thoughtful, kind, and have a great sense of humor. I am very easy
going and laid back. I am often told that I am very easy to talk with. I am
not an angry person, and I am not interested in someone that is.Seeking a
genuine sweetheart... Someone I can count on.... Someone who makes me want
to be more... "SOMEONE WHO INSPIRES ME." Maybe I'm a dreamer but I prefer to
believe that love can last! My goal is just to be a good guy, to treat
people with respect, and to be totally unselfish! I have a great life and I
am thankful every day. I know what I want, yet I am open to change. I am
mature and responsible. I have a positive outlook and I believe good

This is a little note about me and i do hope and pray that you like it.. I
am sweet, thoughtful, kind, and have a great sense of humor. I am very easy
going and laid back. I am often told that I am very easy to talk with. I am
not an angry person, and I am not interested in someone that is.Seeking a
genuine sweetheart... Someone I can count on.... Someone who makes me want
to be more... "SOMEONE WHO INSPIRES ME." Maybe I'm a dreamer but I prefer to
believe that love can last! My goal is just to be a good guy, to treat
people with respect, and to be totally unselfish! I have a great life and I
am thankful every day. I know what I want, yet I am open to change. I am
mature and responsible. I have a positive outlook and I believe good
communication is essential. I'm smart, I'm witty, I take care of myself
physically and financially. I am family oriented and I respect women. I have
a great appreciation for motherhood and I think children are a blessing. I
stand 5"8. tall 185lbs. solid with an average to medium muscular athletic
build. I have black hair /brown eyes. I am very fit, neat, clean, drug and
disease free. I'm very expressive, romantic, and passionate. I am not
looking to line up women... I am looking for one person... Someone who is
sweet, nice, pleasant, and affectionate like you. I would like to meet that
special person who makes my face light up when she enters the room." Having
past events shape your life is one thing, carrying the past as a burden that
sits heavily upon your shoulders is not the way I view life. I am happy with
myself, and my life, and I like to think it shows. I love to try new things,
and can laugh at myself when I fail miserably. I don't give up easily, and
have so many things I've yet to try. Please love to laugh and have fun, what
is better than laughing so hard your stomach hurts? I love a nice dinner
out, but staying home, having American food after a day spent working
together on a completely dirty, yet fulfilling project, can be so much fun
with the right person. Being honest and open is very important to me and I
expect you to feel the same way. I am not a game player, and I don't have
any interest in playing games. I do however, make exceptions for board game
lovers. I am very creative and artistic. I love working on my house and
digging in my gardens, I have no problem getting dirt under my nails. I
believe in a best friend to spend my life with. Please have an adventurous
silly side, although I can be very sophisticated when necessary, life isn't
as much fun if you subdue your inner child all the time. I'm a straight and
easy going person with a kind and gentle heart full of love.. what is your
favorite color.?Thanks
Robert
