My mom was chatting to a guy for three days and he seemed very odd and outright creepy. I reviewed some of the conversations and even pretended to be her, and would like to share these with everyone and get some opinions on this guy. I'm 100 percent positive this guy is a scam artist, posing as a Major in the military in Iraq. This is the conversation where he asks her to keep a package for him, and I come in at the end asking him questions. By the way, I was never really crying, just thought it was hilarious when he said he was!

Pat says:
it's very hard to
Michael says:
But do this for only me okay
Pat says:

she will ask questions when she gets the mail
???
Michael says:
this has nothing to do with your daughter okay
Pat says:
so i can't tell her?
what should I say if she checks the mail?
Michael says:
Before i told you that this should be between you and i okay
Pat says:
okay
why is he coming to saskatoon?
Michael says:
are you not at saskatoon
Pat says:
no but I could be
but why would he come to saskatoon?
Michael says:
because that is where you are
and i want it to be given to you to keep it
Pat says:
why would he come just to see me? is he delivering everyone's packages to their families?
all over the US and Canada?
Michael says:
why not?
Pat says:
if he is delivering all these packages wouldn't it take forever to fly all over North America?
Michael says:
why are you soo not understanding my point?
Pat says:
what is the point again?
Michael says:
oooh
Pat says:
I'm sorry I'm just not comfortable with this
I'm trying to be cautios
did you get my last messages?
Michael says:
why did'nt i get it?
Pat says:
you were offline
Michael says:
yes i did not get it
the link wnet bad
Pat says:
I said I am just trying to be cautios about all this
Michael says:
i dont think you want to be my wife
Pat says:
I don't really know you
and what if something happens to me or the package is lost or stolen?
or if something happens to you what should I do with it?
Michael says:
dont think bad okay
Pat says:
I have to
I have to know what to do with it if something should happen
I hope it doesn't but what if it did?
Michael says:
stand for what ever happends in life okay
dont be afraid of somehing okay
Pat says:
yes but I would feel very bad if I was stuck with this package, it would be no good to me and I wouldn't be able to send it to your son or anyone
I have no contact information
Michael says:
well dont worry okay you will if oonly you contact the dip okay?
Pat says:
doesn't he have a governemnt address?
Michael says:
but this is not just something bad?
Pat says:
what do you mean?
Michael says:
why asking about gorvernment address
Pat says:
well if he is a diplomat he would have a government email address wouldn't he?
not google mail?

You have just sent a nudge.

Michael just sent you a nudge.

You may not send a nudge that often.

Michael says:

The poems he emailed to her....he keeps saying he can't wait to see her again...considering they haven't even met yet, hard to see her "again." This was within two days of chatting for the first time.


Hello My Dear Pat.....?

My dearest Pat,


Without you here, I speak to the moon, hoping it will tell me how you are.

I sing at night to the sound of the sea, wishing you could hear my lullaby.

I see the sun set in the evening, knowing another day has passed without you here.

I here you in the silence of the summer evening, in the music of the morning birds.

Pat, your words are in the poetry of my life, in the music of my memories and in the fire in my heart.

Every night we are apart, my dreams are of you. I dream of your gentle touch, entwine my heart in the memory of your love. And for that brief moment, from dusk until dawn, we are together again.

I ache with all my being to be with you.

I miss you my darling.

Love forever,

Michael



The memory of our love? Is this guy insane? What memories??

His other love poem that he wrote to her. He changed his email address before these were sent, and this is his new one. She wrote him back and asked if he was a stalker haha. They've never met and have been talking for less than a week. Note the dearest lover part...I can guarantee there has been no love exchanged since they've never met. Amazingly his grammer and punctuation has drastically improved, considering how awful it is in IM conversations. Definately copied and pasted from somewhere. if anyone else runs into this guy please let me know, and if anyone knows how to report him that would also be great. Opinions are great too!

My dearest lover Pat,

I just wanted to write and let you know how much I truly love you. You make my world a better place just by being in it.

Every second away from you is an eternity. I would give anything just for us to be able to walk along the beach while I whisper in your ear, "I love you".

Just thinking of you makes me feel very warm and secure. I can't wait until we can run away and hold each other closely. If only we were doing that now, I would be in bliss.

With every beat of my heart, I am with you. I love you so much Pat that it actually hurts. Just waiting to see you again seems to be like climbing an unreachable summit in the mountain of my heart.

My longing for you increases day by day until I feel that, surely, I'll explode if kept away from your precious love and kindness.

Pat, I count the moments until we're together...one by one. You fill my heart with such emotion and joy.

I know our love is a strong love...one that will never fade. I will always be there for you no matter what may come.

I hope to hold you in my arms before long, when I shall lavish upon you a million kisses, burning as the equatorial sun...I will like to end here and i will be so happy to hear from you soon....

Passionately yours forever,

Michael

I should let everyone know that this guy says he is in his 50's, a major in Iraq, has a son named Jeff who is 14, says he is widowed, very religious, horrible grammer, spelling, and punctuation. His email is [email protected], but he has used other email addresses. He never answers any questions or statements made by us, says he is interested in love and marriage, his son is in boarding school, has no family, he is extremely wealthy, never wants his "wife" to work, wants to travel. Asks a million relationship questions, will ask for personal information. I read one of their other conversations and wish I had saved it. This guy is NUTS! I knew right then that something was seriously wrong with this guy. My mom was sadly fooled by this guy, luckily she told me about him and I investigated and told her about the Nigerian scams and looked them up for her to read. Loves writing poetry, having dinner parties, wants to become a car salesman when he moves back to the States or Canada, he preys on vulnerable, lonely and/or financially unfortunate people, and promises them the world if they love him and decide to be his wife. LOOK OUT FOR ANYONE THAT SAYS THESE THINGS TO YOU! Don't fall for them until you know if they are sincere. If it sounds way too good to be true, it probably is! And no one says they cannot live without you in three days. Don't be guilted or fooled. if they are sincere, they will be willing to wait for you to make up your mind. I would hate to think that anyone falls for these nut jobs, but sadly, I know that they do. Please use caution and NEVER give out personal information. I asked "Michael," a million questions, and he tried to guilt me by saying he was sad, crying, and don't i want to be his wife? He never answered anything and went offline as soon as I fired one too many questions at him. I hope this story helps someone, and I thank everyone who reads this.

I traced this guy's IP address and it turns out he sent the emails from Ghana in Africa. I have reported him to Internet abuse sites and to the FBI. I really hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Please everyone, use extreme caution when dealing with people you don't know that sound too good to be true. This could happen to anyone, and some people are lonely enough to fall into his trap. I never expected it to happen to my mom, but it did. I hope we can get the word out about these losers so no one ends up hurt by their perverted, sick schemes.
