This phoney man started communicating with me on B2 dating site. His fake name is Paul McQueen from London email is [email protected] He also sent pictures of him , his old mother from london and him with former friends from work. I find this scam so sad ....he is truly a lost soul preying on others emotions... :evil:

Mar 2012 First email from Paul, of 10 I decided to google his email comment about going to Scotland Yard and this is where I found identical emails he sent to other victims like me....I did not send money and am grateful I was smart enough to google him..He is a true romancer...lol...had me believing he was true. Thanks for posting on this site. I will attach the letters. No he never called me by name, but did refer to places I was visiting. [/color]Hello,
I really appreciate you giving me your email. You know, in this is life and we never can tell what little steps we take that could lead to greatness, and as they say, even a journey of a thousand years starts with a single step and I heard love is not even a destination but a journey for two to walk in harmony for life, maybe this may be our first step to greatness, what do you think? lol. I am tired of life people live by saying they want something and neither do nothing about it nor willing to change their situation by their selves. I don't know how online dating works but I know it is a medium where two people can surely get to explore each other's mind without sentiments. I know it is good because it allows us to cut blabbering and really speak out our minds without intimidation of beauty and soul stealing smiles lol. Seriously I am one who wouldn't bore you. How do I make my first impression here? Maybe I should start by telling little things about me. I am looking for a serious relationship, I want a lady that would like me for who I am, I want someone that is honest and sincere because honesty goes a long way in a relationship, I was once married, but my ex wife loved me just for the material things, it was too late for me to realize this because things where already bad at that time for me to make a fast change, but I am happy right now because I have been able to move on. I was born to a loving couple, a home, by an Australian man from Western Australia 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 dad that she could ever resist; sometimes she says she sees same in me,lol. During my father's global movement, I had to do a little study in Canada when I was 12. I am a global contractor, my job basically is renovation/installation of oil rig facilities. Presently, my job has taken me to different countries across the globe. The present project here is maybe my last on the field; I shall quit field works and continue my works from my home office while my men do the field jobs. I think I really have gotten to this height because of hard work and push from my divorce.


Love comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Like I always say, when you see something good you can feel it. Do you believe in love at first sight? lol. I'm talking about fate here - when feelings are so powerful it's as if some force beyond your control is guiding you to someone who can make you happy beyond your wildest dreams. Anyway I intend to find out that feeling and define it. I am not looking for one to be just a wife, but also a best friend. No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth. A true friend walks in when the whole world walks out. Where your pleasure is, there is your treasure; where your treasure, there your heart; where your heart, there your happiness, my happiness is in my dream and my dream is a happy home to be built by my woman and I, where we call paradise. I do know that Love is not about finding the right person, but creating a right relationship. It's not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end but I am sure it’s a process and steps has to be taken a journey of a life time starts with a step and I am so sure this is one of the steps to take to get to know each other.

I don't really have friends around me, I will want to know more about you what you do for living and if you are looking for a serious relationship because at this stage in my life I do not want to play around, I have been so lonely that I need to be in a relationship and move on with my life, I do not have someone I share my thoughts with and get ideas and advice from. We all want happiness, love , marriage, but only few will get these because only few know and acknowledge that Love is not sweet talks and flowers, but love is forgiving and compromising. I know the danger of people pretending to be something they are not when looking for love, but I also know that you attract people by the qualities you display. But you keep them by the qualities you possess.


So I am here only for one purpose because love is not a destination but a journey for two to walk for life. So I ask, do you mind to explore this wonderful journey with me?


Hugs & Kisses,
Paul.

This is the second email from Paul MacQueen from London

Good day dear, Thanks for your compliment to me in your letter.. Your level of agreement on life and love issues really is an encouragement. I don't know what to say this morning lol, but tell you another thing about me. I like playing golf, working out in the gym, swimming, going to the movies, traveling and few other things. I do believe trust and honesty goes a long way in a relationship because a relationship that lacks that will crumble and fail. I will want to get to know you better and I do believe a journey of a life time starts with a step and I feel this is the step we have taken. I have also thought of taking my profile off the dating site; this is why you will notice that my profile is no longer active. I am self employed and I do not work with any agency, there is a lot you don't know about my job and I guess I will get to tell you that part later on in our conversation. I was so happy to hear from you. Its in my nature to assist people and help humans. I am the only child. I am not too religious, what religion do you belong to? Actually distance is not a problem for me as I take it as a minor factor to determine my pursuit of happiness or true joy in finding the right person, LOL! Most of my job on the ocean, as I have contract to execute on rig platforms. Yes I do enjoy the water a lot, love to swim also. Home is where the heart is; as I am almost semi-retired I will like to do most of my work from an home office, where my heart is there I will go. I am chosen not to be picky because we tend to wants/looking for particular features in a partner; things like tall, handsome, pretty, built, model figure e.t.c. and at the end of the day we miss the mark and fall into wrong hands.


I do not believe in beauty, fame, wealth all those things will fade away in due time but love and trust will last forever and will make the relationship firm and wax strong because there will always be a time in our lives when age sets in and the body will start to wrinkle both partners should love each other till this stage and that is when the love comes to maturity. I am not looking at the present time now but looking into the future and what the future will hold.


Two question: 1) Do you know what your purpose here on this earth is? 2) What is the purpose of having a life with someone...having a mate? These are questions any good living person must have answers to. I do not know about perfection or hundred percent righteousness but in an old article I remember very well, the writer said, "What is the use of life without happiness?" It is the duty of humans to be humans, but we barely do our job, we do not even know our purpose anymore. It cost way less to feed some hungry people and more to buy a car but the true joy and peace you feel when you feed a needy is far greater than that of a new car. We have been misled by a mistructured society and most people think being alive is about finding wealth, when the true wealth is how less we need, not how much we get. Now what is the purpose of having a life partner; SIMPLE, it takes two to tangle. You will only know the worth when there is someone you know you can't live without. someone you would trade your life for without regrets. Seriously there is a big difference between thinking you are good and really knowing you are good. Now we live in a world where men are becoming animals in war and politics, but I refuse to follow the crowd, I can lead a good life.


My mother told me there was something about my father she thinks no woman can ever resist, sometimes she says she sees that in me, lol. She is 80 years young ( I love her to bits), very active and being an only child I am like her source of joy. She would wonder in past years when the time will come that I will become a complete man, so I tell her not to worry, when the time comes I will find love and all other good things will follow.


I will go end it here and hope to get a message from you soon. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but what I know is that, If it is meant to be, our hearts will find each other when we meet. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls. Then every word and every touch will fuel our passion flame. I will be yours, you will be mine, and we will be one.lol


What is more important to you the love you share, the memories you have or the lover? Give love a chance to swallow you up. Don't just think it will happen in a instant, it will surprise you before you know it, but it will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have.


Thanks for communicating with me and building a chance here. Please write me soon.


Your new friend,
Paul.

This is the third message from Paul MacQueen he is answering some questions about his family.

Hi dear,
Now I am having an affair with my computer lol, I go to bed looking at it and wake to run to it, lol. How soon shall my love come take over the place of this machine? hehehe. When I run to the pc and finally see your name on it, a big smile escapes my mouth and I feel yeah I have another chance to build the dream life, LOL! There is no mission without a vision, so the dream here is what we have in common, maybe I should just tell you how a typical day in the dream life looks like for a picture here.


"I wake up to her fresh breathe on my neck, make her breakfast and bring to bed so I can get paid with a kiss early in the morning. We probably go in shower together. I would love to drop her at work myself, while I return to my home office. And to get distracted by the thoughts of her as I work. A lady I can chase round the house, to take a good dip in the pool at midnight (that would be fun)". This must not just be a dream life we can make it a reality in our today. Who says such beautiful life can't be anymore? It takes will and zeal above all things. Who says we can't have the good life, I know we want it and would get it. After all people do almost anything for money, but for me, I will do everything for love, it is about compromises, sacrifices and forgiveness, how hard could that be, you only need to remember everyday that if you can't forgive her, you don't deserve her, lol. I think Life can be sweet if you really want it to be. I am still lucky to get your attention.


When you feel it, you know it, for Love needs no map, for it can find it's way blindfolded. I just want to make my way to the depth of your heart first and see what it feels like. Guys always seem to wonder what it takes to get a girl. Like, what do they have to do to make a girl notice them? Guys have to realize that they have to be sweet, caring, gentle, honest and still have that sweet little thing about them that drives any girl crazy: and that's reaching her heart. No matter how much you try, if you don't reach her heart, it won't ever be worth-while lol.


I am on my business trip for supplies and fixtures for the next two weeks so I will be sending you email and reading your email also lol, everyday I shall send my thoughts your way until I can behold and stare in those sincere eyes, but I think am luck to have this opportunity to know the in depth about you so when we finally meet I don't think we would be strangers lol.


Lost my dad a long while ago some 30 years ago, still have my mum around. Mum stays in my house in London. I will be semi-retired at the end of my current business trip. After which I will secure a permanent place in Canada where I would make my home office. Then I will have time for my adventure with that special one. My purpose on earth, I believe first was to be a good person, an example to follow, a friend , companion for someone, a lover, a husband. Everything I have been through has led me to this point in life. And my purpose is to be the best I can be no matter what I do in life but compassion and empathy is playing a big part of being me. Unfortunately I have no kids.


I will be waiting impatiently for your next letter. Do write soon dear.


Hugs and kisses,
Paul.

This is the fourth email from Paul macQueen.....the plot thickens...lol...he tells me where he works...

Hello my wonderful,


I am so so sorry for not reaching you before now. I had a very busy weekend last week which started from Thursday. My birthday was on Saturday the 17th, wish I got a message from you but not a problem you must have probably forgotten reading it on my profile, my and the boys just had a little dinner nothing special. Look forward to having something bigger when I am done from here. Please do not think that I have ignored you on purpose, we still have a whole lot ahead of us. However, forgive me for not writing you. And again I had problems with my Internet, seems to be just a typical weekend, what a birthday gift LOL! I have been typing the letter below so once I am settled I will send it out to you. It may seem a little awkward but you will have to bare with me as it was not written fresh, LOL!


How was your days? (from the last time you sent me a letter).. Did you ever think of me out of the blues? lol. I woke up to another tune of life. You know I am always smiling but I discovered my heart just had a true smile for the first time in these few days I started writing you, So will you tell me the truth? Are you the angel? Did God hear my cry and decide to send one of his best angels to come be my guardian? whatever it is, I don't want to stop feeling this way. Mum once said, "When it rains, look for the rainbow." So when life gives me this kind of opportunity I seek the climax really. I think the reason I have been able to open up in speech and expression with you is not just usual. The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost, looking for a rhythm like you. So the compliments is what brings the best out of me, lol.


My present and last contract is here in Pearl rig in the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland. You captured my interest just because you are being true to yourself, well, that is something good. As they say, We attract love by the emotions we display; we retain love by the emotions we possess. and if I am able to finally fall in love with you for being you, it becomes unbreakable because that is one thing no one else can never be. YOU! I fly on the usual way to the platform almost everyday with my men, and now everyone seem to know I am becoming happier because I glow more, lol. Did I tell you My friend married last year from the dating site? Troy is one person you would surely love, he is a very close friend and has been with me all the way. And yes it is true, there are two things we can never escape in life, and we can never tell how , when or where it happens, and it is LOVE and DEATH!


I pray to God that I may have found my chance and i will do everything to make the dream come true. I don't need anyone to take advantage of my weaknesses or my strengths, I need someone who will appreciate me for everything that I am and if in this pure way you can develop feelings for me, then it is a point to prove that. I hope you have a great day my dear and you write me back soon, I always love hearing from you.


Now to answer your questions: Yes mum lives in London. I am global construction contractor with civil engineering skills and do my job in different sectors not only in the oil industries. Yes I am confident that we shall meet. No this is no flirting for me, it is the real deal. I have been divorced for over 15 years now.


Hugs and kisses,
Paul.

This is the fifth email....from scammer Paul MacQueen He is now asking for my phone number....which I do not reply to.

to me


Hi dearie, How are you doing? Great to get an email from you. Will start by stating am sorry for using the word "love" but it is not entirely out of context. You might be right that is that thought of all this working out so well that has driven me into use of such a strong and emotional word but yet again over the past few days communicating with you have touched an emotional side of me. I write freely without much caution because I feel this is right, happening at this time to find someone that we can actually get into depths will writing to each other, without fears. Can we act like I never use that words? I think I went ahead f myself in assuming it was a good time to sing off that way, my apologies. Work is really tasking these days and taking up most of my time. It is really good to have a solid working relationship with staff because it helps the business progress/grow, if a staff is not happy working for you then the business is as good as dead, this is something I learnt from my dad when I was still a Master. I do miss dad and wish he could be around now to see how far his son has gone with his life. To answer your questions: 1) Well not much is required of me, it is just a decision that I made. Once my current project is over then that's it. 2) Yes I will be semi retired this year. 3) No mum will not be moving in with me but can choose to visit from time to time. 4) In the next couple of weeks, seeing you will be in Mexico when I am done. 5) Well as for family its just me and mum but do have extended family in my workers. Don't have much of my photos on this computer as I lost them to a crash. The first one attached to this photo is of Troy (in blue jeans), Shirley his wife beside him and a former colleague (retired) and his wife and the other side of the room. The other is of sweet mum.. 6) Don't you have a messenger? I could show how to get one if you don't. I am sorry but this will be short as I am still at work and the clock is ticking, LOL! Please do write me back so I know how your day went. Take care, Paul.


P.S: Can I have a phone number to reach you by?
by grateful Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:27 pm
This is my sixth email....from romeo Paul...this is the email I was sceptical about, I also found the same email submited from another woman on this site....thank goodness she posted this for us to read. :shock:


Hi Honey,


I am so thankful I met you! You are one of the most important people in my life. I never thought I would find someone like you to share my life with, and now I don't even want to imagine what my life would be like without you in it. I love the way you make me feel when I read a mail from you, how we tell each other the depths of our hearts. Wherever you are is where I want to be. You make me feel like its just me and you in the entire world, there's no one else on earth. It feel like we're the only ones here. I fall madly in love with you more and more each day. If there’s one thing in this world I know, it's that I AM SO enjoying the feeling when we get to communicate!!


I will be making a short trip to Dundee, for a two-day meeting with the contract award committee and the Scottish yard. I may not send you an e-mail/chat with you via messenger till I get back. We are going to be discussing work done so far and what is left to be done by both parties. I can say 85% of the work here as been done. So I will soon be out of here. once we do the final installation then I am through.


Hope you are having a good night rest tonight. I am giving you a tender kiss on your forehead so I don't wake you up.


I will check to see if I have got an e-mail from you before I leave tomorrow.


Hugs & Kisses,
Paul.

This is the seventh email...from looser Paul macQueen....Good Luck Girls...it is a weard world out there....follow your gut instincts...if it sounds too good to be true...then it usually is...Cheers to meeting a real man...in person like the good old days before computers !! :beer:

Good morning sweetie, my own sunshine. You are my ray of hope, just like the sun, brightening my world. I just can't get my eyes off of your picture. It only seemed like yesterday you came my way like an angel without wings to rock my world. To give meaning to the beautiful life I had that had no meaning and essence of family. Only because of you, I feel the presence and will of belonging; like I said I am not God so I don't know how tomorrow will be for us, but we are only here today and my feelings are thus! Without fear, I have embraced you and I can tell you, I will not only love you, but also love those you love as if they were my own. I am an instinctive person my dear and I get this gut feeling that you have been the one taking care of people around you but I know it is time for you to be taken care of. So please give me the job lol. I want to have the best job in this world which is to put a permanent smile on your face, lol. I have taken down my profile a long time and am leaving it to my fate and destiny. As I have picked only you from the dating site to determine my future with. So put our trust in motion and leave the rest to heaven. You have won my heart by been yourself. I mean if I fell in love with you for beauty, how long shall I travel to see more beauty? If I did for smiles I would still see more but if I do for you being you, then no worries as that is who no one else can ever be, lol. I guess what am saying is that physically attributes will fade but the inside will always remain the same. Seriously I think we are lucky to have this medium to explore each other's mind here but I can't wait to see you in person.


We all fight in this world, go to war and have condemnation hence we forget that we can never leave without each other, if we think it deep down we will know and remember our purpose. I mean what would a police man do without criminals? What would the rich do without the poor? what would the white do without the blacks? We were all created for each other and that is one way to realize God himself wants a balance here lol. We had better be wise to quickly change what we can, and accept what we can't and pray for serenity to know the difference for the only constant thing in life is change.


Now I want to beg you for a favor, can you help me tell a woman how I feel about her? I want you to help me as you have become my friend please, tell her I could be scared about how she won my heart so soon but I choose to see the goodness in it. Tell her to not let go of my strong hands in the journey we take. Tell her, I lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling. My thoughts - all about her, gives me a lovely feelings! Tell her if today, a smile should appear on her face, it's because at this very minute, I am thinking of her and I am smiling too, tell her I heard, we'll never know love until we surrender to it. Tell her I am giving her my hands which equals all of me and I know we can have a common dream and work towards the dream and live the dream life if we are determined to, love is that simple for two loving hearts. You know where to find her, go to your dressing mirror and she will be there waiting and looking back at you, lol.


Please take good care of yourself and have a wonderful day, I will be thinking of you. Enjoy your trip to mexico, will like to hear about your time there.


Cheers,
Paul.

Wow, this guy has been busy lately. :) I got a bunch of emails from one Johann Eduart ([email protected]), working on an oil rig in Sharjah, UAE -- many with identical wording. I'll post them under a separate topic.
by grateful Fri Apr 13, 2012 10:12 pm
Since I made the post on here he has stopped emailing, said I stabbed him in the back??
Doubble edge knife hurts when reflected back with Karma...I wish him peace of mind..poor lost boy. :bowdown: :yikes:
by TooSmartForThat Sun Jun 03, 2012 1:04 pm
This fellow is truly busy. He is also pursuing gay men through Match.com in the USA. He writes as Jason Stahl ([email protected]) and much of what he writes is verbatim the wording of your emails.

Like you, the wording and florid language made me suspicious. I googled some of the more over the top phrases and found my way right here to you.

Thanks for posting!
by antipholus Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:25 pm
Jason Stahl stalked me on Match.com this week. The inconsistent grammar, non-idiomatic expressions, purple prose, and aversion to answering certain questions led me to Google his phrases, and I found him on your site. He/She put up a Facebook account the day he started communicating with me but added no real information and had no friends. His LinkIn account had no connections.

Thanks for your posting.
by Bubbles Sat Jul 28, 2012 10:42 pm
Welcome to ScamWarners antipholus, it is great that you recognized the signs of a scammer and checked it out. We are pleased you found us and postings here confirmed your suspicion.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Look out ladies, Paul McQueen has a new name and new dating site. Now he's on- Plenty of Fish and his new name is Frank Lema; his new email address is [email protected]
He sent me the exact same emails that each of you have posted on this site. After the third email I was leary about the constant use of quotes and the inconsistency in his grammar and spelling; so I googled one of his lines from his email and found this site.
Good luck out there- the world is full of opportunistic men- thank god women are so much smarter!
by mistermom Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:37 am
Fear not, ladies. Jason Stahl is alive and well and apparently is an equal opportunity, bisexual scammer.

He was terminated this month on match.com for preying on gay men.

His current email is [email protected] and he's "moved" from Scotland where he supposedly worked on an oil rig to Los An where he is supposedly an interior designer and he has a very thick West Indian .
Like the previous posters I received the EXACT same letters which were verbose and full of errors.
by mistermom Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:45 am
P.S. California but that doesn't necessarily mean he is actually located there.

He claims to have lived in the USA 20 years but from many things that he has said it is obvious that he's never even visited the States. He makes mistakes that every 8 year old in this country would know.
