I have been corresponding with someone online for 3 months to find out that he is a scammer! I was fortunate to google a name used by a doctor who contacted me in regards to this man who was now a patient of his due to a fatal accident... wanting money to be sent to help in his medical care. When I googled Doctor Daniel Dunga a post on this site appeared from Dan Dunga with the same profile letter I had received many months ago from a Steven Martins who I had met on match.com. (see below)
This guy is diligent, smooth, clever, and knows how to pull your heart strings. I can't believe I was fooled by him for 3 months. I have to admit there were times I was suspicious because it was just too good to be true and he hides behind the cross of Jesus professing to be a Christian man. I prayed for this man after I heard of his fatal accident; I also prayed that God lead me in the right direction if I should help him. Thank the Lord I found this information before I sent any money.
He uses a cell phone number 571-969-1387 (Arlington, Virginia) and wants money wired to Ikeja Lagos Nigeria.
Here's the info he uses; Names Steven Martins, Doctor Daniel Dunga or Dan Dunga, Mark West
Email Addresses; [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]
Username on match.com; [email protected]
Here is a copy of his "All About Me" response after I reciprocated a wink.
Thank you for taking out your precious time to send me an email, it really did feel good to hear from you. I am glad that we have connected, I was really scared that I will lose contact with you simply because my subscription was running out and I didn't plan on renewing it. I feel I need to move on no matter what had happened in the past. I am new to this online dating thing and it sometimes makes me feel nervous I feel it is because I have been in my shells in the past years of my life after the death of my wife. Lately I realized that I must move on with my life as I have grieved enough that was why i joined match.com.
I have two children from my late wife and they mean the world to me and they live with their granny as in New Zealand as there would be no one to give them that much needed motherly love. I look forward to having them live with me some time in a very near future when I have a one big and happy family. My relocation was as a result of my inablity to continue taking the pains of my late wife ís death. Everywhere I go I see things that reminds me of her. So I decided that the best thing for me to do was to start life all over again and give love a chance.
I am an engineer by training and an energy consultant by calling, my job involves the management of projects in the oil and gas industry. I am involved in the design, construction and commissioning of oil and gas facilities. I am also involved in the some consultancy works for sellers and prospective buyers of crude oil, it ís basically a negotiators' job. I enjoy my job because it gives me some kind of fulfilment that I manage as essential commodity. My job sometimes also takes me round the globe as the demand for energy cuts across borders, I am also self employed. I used to enjoy my frequent trips when I just lost my wife but lately I have come to realize that there is more to life than just work as I have toiled hard all my life and look forward to spending the rest of my life with the love of my life.
I will add you to my IM so we can also IM each other when we have some time. I like to meet a woman who's loving, caring and affectionate. I like the sunrise and its set, I like it when it's chilly, warm a few. Well, I prefer going to New Zealand because of the great adventure and pleasure in there, the land of THE LORD OF THE RINGS and that is actually my home town. I love listening to slow rock, R and Bs, Jazz, Gospel and sometimes pop. I can't wait to know you more, tell me your likes and dislikes. Tell me about yourself, can we talk on the phone and what is the best time to call? . Waiting earnestly to hear from you. I really do not know what else to tell you as I am new to this but would be willing to answer any questions that would make us better know each other. I would stop here as I need to get to work but it did feel good reading your email and sending you another. Can' t wait to hear from you....@};-:x
