Hey there! Firstly, I already know this is a scam but Id like to share my emails so others can read and avoid being scammed themselves. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I was contacted through a Meet Up group by a lady by the name of helen ross. It was a little weird because she was due to go to a group going to the movies the next night but emailed me telling me how great my smile was and how much she wanted to meet up with me. Thinking that she was very attractive but with an air of caution I arranged to meet her before the movie but she had to cancel because of her busy schedule... Warning sign number one! I suggested that we meet up for dinner on the Sat night which she agreed to but had to cancel because she had to travel to the UK for business... Warning sign number 2! Somewhere between warning sign one and two, she would be sending me full on emails telling me how great I am and how much she is loking forweard to meeting such a great guy like me and how handsome I am...It was too much! So she went to the UK and has been emailing me ever since, telling me how mcuh she misses me and thinking about me all the time, blah blah blah!
I know there are scammers out there and Im from the UK so I asked for her to send me photos, to which I got her dressing in party gear, with a feather bower and long hair (which in other pics was short short).... Red flag, red flag! Next time I was more specific and asked for her to send me photos of her in London, to which I got one with her (short hair was back) and a snake on her shoulder in a shop. Now, it has been 5 years since I was in England but to my recollection, we dont have snakes wondering around in shops in England. So I thought, Id rather waste (its) time on me than trying to scam some other poor bugger who might actually send them money. Im just playing its own game against it and when it asks for money Im gonna have some fun.
I heard about this guy on the news that makes these african's take funny pictures of themselves to prove they are not trying to scam him, which of course he knows they are. One was next to the local cop with a sign saying Im with stupid... LOL
I have copied and pasted the emails so that they can be easily picked up ona google search...
Thanks for reading!

Good morning James,
So nice to read from you. Thanks for your sweet comment about my profile. My weekend was great, thanks.
I think Saturday or Sunday would be perfect for us to meet due to my busy schedule.
I joined MeetUp few days ago and i have not had the opportunity to actually go to any of the events yet, How bout you?
WOW! I went to look at your picture again and you must agree with me that you've got a great smile.
Let me tell you more about myself. There is a a little humor in it, anyway here it goes, I do hope you like it!
Well, I feel I'm clean cut, easygoing, passionate, very loyal, respectful, love family values, caring, funny, love kids, stable, sincere, very romantic, affectionate, easygoing, open mined, smell nice and very interested in you. Are you smiling a little! lol..
Wow! I sound great!!. Anyway, I am looking for a serious relationship but friendship is a great way to start....I know, good luck to me right..Okay,okay try not to laugh to hard! ....Well i'm moving right along.
I am healthy, outgoing and open. I am curious, have a lot of interests and hobbies and would like to learn new things. I enjoy outdoor sports, activities, shopping and travel, I also appreciate staying at home to read, listen to music and stories, watch movies, cook, entertain friends.
I also enjoy good wines, chocolate, ice cream and much more..or maybe just going out for a very romantic dinner and a little dancing. How does that sound? still smiling !!
I love animals, children and nature. I talk openly and honestly about my thoughts, feelings and desires, and am honest.
I have a great sense of humor and love different cultures and can communicate.
I'm interested in a fun, romantic and honest man who will treat me like a queen. I prefer someone who knows what he wants, even if the sparks fly right away. Affection, touch and passion are very important to me.
If this feels right and resonates with you I'd love to hear your thoughts.
There is much more to tell, but you'll have to e-mail me back if your interested.
See the attached for some pics of me, i hope you like them. Send me some pics of you as well.
It was fun e-mailing you this message. Tell me everything i need to know about you and feel free to ask anything you would like to know.
Your new found friend,
Helen.
Hello James,
Thanks for your comment about my pics. How are you today? Great i hope.
I would like to meet you sometimes this weekend but first, i would like to know more about you so i will feel comfortable with you when we meet.
This is the hard part, sharing more about oneself aint easy.
I own my own home, I love fast cars and bikes. Summer weekends I usually cruise the ave or go riding.
Hopefully you are someone who likes sport bikes right? or even better ride yourself.
I am 40years old, i am Single and searching for my soul mate.
I was born in the USA and lived the latter part of my life in Italy with my Ex until we broke up.
I moved to the Australia Last year December to enhance my job opportunities.. I was not getting as much contracts back in Italy as I would have loved to have, the Australia just seemed like the best place to fully operate and live a life with a truly Loved one.
I am into import and export of household appliances worldwide and i am loving it.
I love oldies, classical, Soul, RnB, country and Jazz Music. My Aunt imbibed the love of karaoke and Jazz in me when I was younger. As I grew older, there was this pub back in the States that had this karaoke machine just at the back. Not many people make use of it, except for me and a few others. Slowly, I developed this love for karaoke and country, and since then, I should say we were inseparable! I do sing well a little, at least it is not damaging to human hearing lol...
I enjoy cooking a whole lot, so you are sure to always get breakfast in bed and be woken up by a big kiss... mwuah!
I try to keep fit by working out.I have my own gym in my basement.It sure does make you feel alive being fit. I love movies as well, mostly scary movies. Hopefully your someone who likes to relax and watch a good movie. I can dance very good, I've got my life pretty well set but only missing that special man. I am very open minded and I am looking for the same. So its not what you look like, what color you are or how well off you are that interests me, it is how you treat yourself and your loved ones.
Its so hard to find good people now, but i thought i would give this a try. I have good morals, i respect myself and love life.
I have compiled a long list of questions so i can get to know more about you.
How old are you?
Do you have kids?
What are you looking for in a woman?
What are your hobbies, likes and dislikes?
What do u do for a living?
Do you own your home?
Do you exercise regularly?
Are you considerate and thoughtful of others?
Do you treat others as you would like to be treated?
Have you ever gotten into a fight with someone?
How often do you lose your temper?
What do you do when you're alone?
Are you romantic?
Do you love unconditionally?
Have you ever been unfaithful to your mate?
How often do you like to go out?
When dining out what food do you enjoy?
How much do you enjoy a walk in the park?
How much do you enjoy a walk on the beach?
Which sports do you most enjoy watching?
What's your favorite car?
What type of music do you prefer?
What are your three favorite movies?
Who is your favorite actor?
Who is your favorite actress?
Who is your favorite singer?
If you had a Time Machine, where would you go?
If you were granted one wish, what would you ask for?
Hope to read from you soon and I will respond back with answers to my own list.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Helen.
Good evening James,
I feel obliged to get such a great note from you. Dinner at the spanish restaurant sounds great so let me know when you are ready.
I think it would be best we discuss more about each other when we meet as you have suggested.
I believe when we cross paths with someone, we are given a choice, to learn about each other or simply go on our separate ways but in the end what is the purpose of life other than living and interacting with others.
To be able to share the intrinsic unique events that nature shows us daily, a sunrise/sunset, a warm summer rain.
I have come to understand that each of us has choices in life and the out come is dependent upon our choice.
Material possessions soon lost, often holding no meaning to the owner other than a piece of property.
However, the bond that two people share when holding hands, watching a sunset, are memories that remains evergreen, being able to retrieve them whenever the need arises, is priceless. To sit beside your partner when they are sick, bedridden, or dying.
There is no greater gift than to show a man that death is also a life cycle to be shared. We have the choice of decision and we must all accept the decisions we have made..I hope i have said enough of my heartfelt about life and two partners and let me know if i make any sense to you.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Sweet dreams.
Helen.
Hello James,
How are doing this great evening? I got your letter and i am sorry for the delay in reply, I Have been so busy. You sound well to me. I also enjoy been around children because they are the leader of tomorrow. They make the world smile when ever they smile.
You write very nice to me and i appreciate your effort, because you sound great to me, you are the kind of man that i have been looking for all this while to speak my heart to, I hope you get this, a true man will be bold enough to express a true word from his heart felt, You made me feel so sweet deep inside of me, i'm proud of you because you have given me a reason to be hopeful again.
If we continue like this, I believe things will work out for us.
I so much believe in love and i believe that love is a great and wonderful thing for two partners to enjoy. I really do have so much love in me to share with you. You seem like a very nice and wonderful man and the kind of man i would love to share the rest of my life with.
Am sorry to inform you that our proposed plan to meet tomorrow would have be postponed because i have a business commitment to attend to but we would definitely meet as soon as i get back in two weeks.
I ordered for a large quantity of goods which i am going to supply in the UK and i have just been notified that the goods will be arriving the UK early next week so i have to travel to the UK tomorrow to get all the documents i would need to clear my goods at the sea port ready ahead of time. I will travel with my laptop so we can stay in-touch regularly and i will contact you to let you know when i arrive the UK. This is a huge and major deal for me, please wish me Good luck.
Have you been to the UK before? as for me this is going to be my first time.
I believe that the distance will require a special willingness and understanding that can test our feelings like no other type of relationship can ever do but with great thoughts from our heart we can always overcome it which we both know that It requires constant communication and a desire to continually build our friendship.
The distance shouldn't be an issue to stop our friendship and connection because this is what we both desire and pray for because there is a reason for us coming across each other and once there is a will there would surely be a way.
I look forward to meeting you as soon as i get back. I have a flight to catch tomorrow so i have to get some rest now.
Hope to read from you soon.
Kisses and hugs,
Helen.
Hello James,
I want you to know that i had a great trip and i arrived London safely and all is fine with me here, I am presently staying in a hotel here. Its so beautiful here in London.
I must confess that i was thinking about you all through my flight.
How is the weather like there?
Its 7:25am Sunday here, i will be going for a walk later this morning to look around the city and later when i get back i have some documents to work on.
I wish you were here with me to keep me company, laugh and hold hands while we take a walk together. I will really love us to get to meet once i get back from the UK.
How is your weekend going?
I attached some pictures i took for you and i hope you love them. I would love to see more pictures of you, Please send me more pictures ok.
Hope to read from you soon.
Kisses,
Helen.
Dear James,
How have you been? Great i hope. I had a great walk around the city again yesterday and i must say London is a beautiful city with a lot of great sights, maybe we can come back here together someday who knows *:) happy.
I also went shopping and when i got back i spent some minutes in the hotel spa.
I was so tired when i got back to my hotel room and slept with my shoes on.lol.
I attached some pictures i took yesterday for you and i hope you love them.
It is 7:15am Thursday Morning here and i am sitting here in front of my desk, with a cup of coffee. I am writing just to let you know that you are handsome, worthy of being loved, respected and i look forward to meeting you too when i get back home next week.
A relationship takes time, searching ones heart, and getting to know each other in all situations, good and bad, health and sickness, richer or poorer.. People take these words so lightly and give them little thought, but They are there for a reason. There are trials everyday of this life. How we respond to them is all that matters.
Everything in life has its own reason and purpose to happen. Being lonely for a very long time makes me want a companion and a man to share my feelings and heart desires, a man to spend the rest of my life with and here you are in my life now. No one is perfect and am glad we are giving it a try. Though it is right for us to learn from our past mistakes. I know what i want in life and i promise never to hurt you, You can trust me and You will have no cause to regret your actions. A Relationship has to be based on trust, sincerity, commitment and honesty so i want these 4Guidelines to be the bedrock of our relationship. I will always stand by my word. I am a caring and loving lady, Open minded and Upfront in every aspect of a relationship. Being scared wouldn't solve the situation. I think we will get along well when we meet. i hope you think so too
I would love to see more pictures of you, Please send me more pictures ok.
Kisses and hugs,
Hello there,
No i am not Thai, i told you in one of my Emails i was born in the USA so i am American.
Its Noon over here and i am getting ready to go to the sea port.
Thoughts of you have been going through my mind.
I could describe you with one word... HANDSOME. I dream of you here with me with nothing on but our imaginations. I can almost feel you here. caressing me, touching me. You are the fire burning inside of me, you are my passion for life. In the deep of the night I dream of your touch.
I seriously don’t think you have a clue but there’s something in the world I would like to have and you’re the only one who can give it to me and that is your "love".
My business is going on well and i have been informed by the shipping agent that my goods will be arriving Next week. I just want you to know am always happy writing to you. I've never been so certain of anything. You are a blessing that my entire being is very thankful for. I feel that we were made to meet this way and lets see what God has in store for us.
Well, time has passed and I have discovered new things and a new me. You have truly changed me. Still, in a way, I'm scared because I am actually growing a true feeling inside my heart, which I just cant explain, but I know it's there waiting for you to uncover it when i return next week. I truly don't know what your feelings are but I don't want to force you in telling me what you don't feel towards me. I would want to receive love and trust from you when you truly mean it. I just hope you feel the same way.
I'm looking for a real man, not a man, but my own, my ideal and the only one. He must be a warm and tender person, loving to touch and feel, not afraid to show his affections. I think you have those qualities and i am sure we will have a wonderful life together.
I do hope you understand all am trying to say.
How is your day going?
Hope to read from you soon.
Helen.
Thanks for reading!
