This person initially sent me a facebook message in January of 2012. I did not see it in my "other" message box until December 2012 and decided to respond. He introduced himself as "Walter Gilbert" but goes by "Walter Steven" on facebook. He did request my yahoo messenger ID fairly quickly but we mostly communicated through facebook for the first month. Then he claimed he wouldn't be checking his facebook much because he was leaving Florida (said he was there for work) to do his next contract in Malaysia. So about a month later we started communicating through facebook again as well as yahoo email and the phone. I believe the initial request for money came over the phone but I will post some of the requests (there have been many). I have been communicating with him very frequently up until this week when i discovered this site and had googled some of the things he wrote to me. and much to my disgust I found him EVERYWHERE using pretty much the same lines. I have over 1200 facebook conversations and a bunch of emails so obviously can't post everything lol. He asked for money because the malaysian government wouldn't release the rest of his pay (claimed to be a "vet doctor" over there supplying them with vaccine" until he came up with a certain percentage. emailed me his "contract" blah blah blah. I do get a little satisfaction in knowing that I never intended to send him any money but not sure why i continued to argue with him for so long about it. I think because i thought it would just stop and the other conversation was so good!! But it finally got too much for me so we did stop talking at the end of March. Well fast forward to the beginning of June and like an idiot, I called him and boom it started back up. At this point he had blocked me from facebook and when we started talking again, he didn't unblock me (now I know why!). the very first conversation we had again he emailed me more documents stating that he had received the money from his contract but the day he picked it up, the Malaysian police pulled them over and confiscated the money and was charging him with money laundering!! and now he needed MORE money to get it out of the jail!! wow, I am not that dumb to believe that. Plus everything he sent me that was supposedly an official document was made out to Walter Steven and he couldn't answer why they put everything in his first and middle name!! Again, I knew something was off but had no clue this whole "romance scam" crap existed like this. oh and of course he's a widow of five years (wife died in car accident) wtih a 12/13 year old daughter in boarding school in London.

Good Morning ,
Ohh, am so excited to get your email. i really appreciate the fact that you could respond to me and this gives me more confidence in you. am actually new to this Facebook. Tell me, how long have you been on this Facebook thing and what are your experiences? Let me tell you a bit more about myself..
MY BACKGROUND I was born to a loving couple by an American man from New York and a British woman. My father was an international business man who met this British orphan whose only family were close friends. She says there was something about the man that no woman could ever resist, sometimes she says she sees same in me,lol. During my father's global movement, while i was twelve i left to study in Canada where i got the first degree and then i later moved on to Join my mum back in the UK. My father died and she was left alone..years later,i also lost my mom i have one daughter
I am a Vet Doctor by profession,I am proud of my accomplishments and profession, for taking care of animals is pretty good experiences.
Where are you originally from? Am close to my parents (I consider myself one of those lucky people who was born to loving parents), and family (yours and mine) is very important to me. I am also an animal lover. We grew up with beautiful, big English Mastiffs! Some of the highlights of my life have been swimming with dolphins and manatees, meeting Jane Goodall, catching a surprise sighting of a beautiful black seal just yards from the shore. I support several wildlife causes (such as the goat Foundation). My dream is to one day see the animals in the wild, and to visit Jane Goodall's Sweetwater goat sanctuary.
I love my religion, and find great satisfaction in helping people and animals. I am usually the indoors type What people don't usually know is that I am very sensual and also very affectionate. I enjoy pampering/surprising my partner, and I also love to be nurtured in return. Sensuality is important to me? some of my favorite things are the salty taste of lobster simmering in a beurre blanc sauce, the smell of the ocean mixed with suntan lotion on a summer day, the cool, velvety softness of well-worn cotton sheets on a hot summer night, the gentle touch of a lover, the beauty of a home which has been designed to be inviting and welcoming, the sound of leaves rustling beneath your feet in the Fall. love thunderstorms,the smell of a campfire, fresh cut grass, and horses. The excitement of a carnival at night is fun.
Tell me about your past, how was it like? do you really like your Job? how long have you been into it and how does it makes you feel?
When in a relationship, I am quite content to be at home working on a project or help with cooking dinner or relaxing. My lifestyle is usually relaxed and pretty quiet. I'm more of an introvert than an extrovert, however, I can hold my own at any social function. You should also know that sometimes I can be irreverent : ) I can be silly and pretty childlike, but could be very understanding with good sense of humor when it comes to sharing of thoughts and ideas..
Hmm.. for my wishlist for a relationship partner. I'm looking for someone who knows herself well and who has explored what has and hasn't worked in previous relationships. Someone who is confident, and isn't afraid to say "no" and isn't afraid to say "yes". Someone who is comfortable in the depth of intimacy, and who can be his own person at the same time.. Someone of great character who isn't easily swayed by popular opinion. Someone strong, yet gentle; confident, yet compassionate. Someone who will ?have my back? (& I her) when the going gets tough. Someone who knows that the going will get tough at times. Someone who is family-oriented, reliable, trustworthy. Someone who believes that "LOVE" is a verb and who takes pleasure in nurturing the relationship. Someone sensual. Someone who knows that how you play together is less important than what you feel together. Finally, someone who communicates well with much understandings.
My Dear, I would also appreciate if you would tell me a Little bit about your past relationship and how was it like? I would want to say much because i may have to write to much for an email, but maybe time would tell better my dear..
Take care of yourself and remain Blessed!! Walter

Hello , Thanks so much for your kind and lovely email.. am so happy to know more about you, and your reply was so nice and lovely to me… you really have the quality that am looking for in a woman..
So now that we are both interested in getting to know each other better let me try and clear up the issue on the distance. I was very willing to throw my net as widely as possible to find what I am truly looking for, so I have discarded the barrier of state boundaries and distance to do that. I know there is quite some distance between us but I also know that as long as we both have an interest, we can make things work out... Also distance does have its own advantages, for one is the way it influences that level of communication between the people involved, with distance we tend to be more vocal about things than when we are together in person. My wish and plans are to meet a lovely and honest woman that I will spend the rest of my life with her and make her happy for the rest of her life.. It doesn't matter about her educations background, Age, Beauty or profession.. What really matter to me is her heart, honesty and how caring she is. I will be so happy if you could open your heart for me to be loved and I promise you will never regret it. let me stop here and here from you soon.Please do you have Yahoo messenger or MSN so we can chat, Please let me know what time is convenient for you to chat so we can know more about each other. i'v already added you to my Messenger waiting for your reply.
Have a nice day

I know the possibility of thinking, this man i haven't met, how can there be these feelings? what does he know about me? But i can tell you the truth about life. The people you have met and probably fallen in love with them, what do they know about you that you think i don't know? probably, just some physical things, like smell, sense of touch, and body physics, and that is all. But these few things are the least things to love for. These are just sentimental values that are found in many at good length. The main things to love for are the abilities to agree on phenomena, and sense of directions. The unexplained attraction to someone's words. which is life itself.
These are the only things that matters deep down. How best can one get these things better than meeting in writings? where you can escape the sentimental factors i mentioned earlier and once we meet, the biggest sentiments is there and one wouldn't be able to help but start the feelings from there. I can tell you that internet is the best and also the worst way of meeting people. In the sense that it is the best if two people meet and are as open as a book with each other with no lies. I promise it cant fail . The worst in the sense that if these two met and there is even a single atom of lie in between, there comes disappointments, which is like a small stone that can bring down a big wall. Did you ever lie to me? cos i wouldn't ever lie for anything. can you share your number with me so i can call you when i am free than we can chat
As food is needed for the body, them same way love is needed for the soul. Food strengthens the body while love strengths the soul. A person is incomplete without love. I will never give up the fight and will of love. Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones. I do cherish your presence in me.
Have a lovely day ahead. and hope to hear back from you.
Regards
Walter
