Subject: Have a wonderful weekend

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi NoVictim!
Welcome to ScamWarners. I ran the headers through http://www.ip-adress.com/trace_email/ And came up with this:

Email Sender: [email protected] [more info]
IP address: 80.122.74.18
IP address country: Austria
IP address state: Tirol
IP address city: Innsbruck
IP address latitude: 47.2667
IP address longitude: 11.4000
ISP of this IP: Telekom Austria
Organization: Riedle Max KG

Does he claim to be living in Austria?
Has he sent you any photos?
If you would like to post a couple of messages that he's sent to you it will help to identify him as a scammer, or not.

Thanks for the response. He is claiming to live in Denmark and is now in China.. They are so good these guys

Here is some of the correspondance:
Lawrence Bio fuel engineer, enkemand, 180 cm

Hello
I hope this mail finds you in good health,Thanks for the mail...Your English is far better than my Danish. I got back to Denmark last Sunday from Texas. I recently moved to Denmark from Houston, Texas in the US for work related reasons and some other personal reasons I would not be able to say in this email.

When I moved in September to a new location where I hardly knew anyone. Getting on this website seemed like a good idea. Collectively I have barely spent 3 months in Denmark altogether, I presently live in Copenhagen

My daughter told me about this website. I have only one daughter, she is 26 and she got Married in November last Year. If there is anything you want to know about me just ask.

I really can't say exactly what I like about your profile, but the person it portrayed to me was my kind. I do not sign into this website often. If you want to stay in touch it would be better for us to contact through my private email. My email is [email protected]
Have a great weekend...
Lawrence

Hello
You sound like a very Interesting person to know....Let me start by telling you some Basic but important things about me. I am currently on my way to Shanghai , China for a business Trip which I will be leaving tomorrow. Due to this business trip it would not be possible for us to have a physical meeting within the next 2 weeks. Exchanging emails would be the best way for us to know ourselves better. My job is a long story, to put it simply, I am a Private Contractor in the engineering sector and Business Man. Explaining the details of what I do would have to be in another email.

I live alone in Copenhagen presently. Copenhagen was not were I intended to move to when I left Texas initially. When I first came to Europe, I lived in Hamburg for about a month. During my stay in Hamburg I realized that living in busy cities was not something I wanted to do anymore. The best option for me at that time was Copenhagen DK which is my home, So I made a decision to move there. The main reasons why I moved to Europe was because of my job. There are many other reasons but I will tell you about it in the future or in another email. I'm always very direct and straight forward i used to smoke but I quit some year ago. I drink occasionally...

I am a very spontaneous person. I tell you whats on my mind when I feel it and this has made me a very honest person naturally. I believe life is like a book, people who don't travel just read only a few pages. So it is possible I relocate unknown reasons in the future. I'm also a very Optimistic and Open Minded person. Being Optimistic and Open minded has always attracted people to me Naturally. I'm not the kind of man who base his feelings on the Outer Beauty or physical appearance. I believe in the Beauty on the Inside because I learned long ago that it is much better.

I still know very little about you and would love to know a lot more. I'm new to internet dating, however I think you are a sincere and Genuine person. So now its your turn. Tell me anything about yourself that you would like me to know. Or maybe something you are proud of about you. I'm an Open book, so don't hesitate to ask me whatever you want to know about me.. Bye for now. I will write more tomorrow but I also hope to read from you soon.

Lawrence

Hello ,

It is really nice to get an email from you. I arrived here in Shanghai late yesterday night. Shanghai is a nice but busy city Seems the people here do not sleep. I am able to settle down in an hotel where I will be lodging through out my stay here.
Thanks for your openess and also thanks for sharing some few things about yourself with me. I actually do feel free to tell you more about myself too.

I have decided to tell you my life's story from the very beginning.. My father was Danish and my Mum was American ...They are both deceased. My parents met in Copenhagen and back then my dad was a social worker for the Denmark Government...They got married and had me and decided to keep it that way. We stayed in Copenhagen for about 6 years then moved to Dublin Ireland

My Dad tried to pursue a career there as a Professional Antiques collector, This was were we lived until I lost them both. About a year later I met my late wife at the University of Liverpool, she was a very sweet woman and I couldn't think of anyone else I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

We got married and moved to Texas Medical Center area of Houston USA, and had our only child Karen.... Late into 2006 due to work related reasons, she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and this ended up claiming her life in February 2007. Karen still live here with her husband and my granddaughter. I've been widowed since 2007 and although I have been in a couple of relationships nothing really ever came out of it. I believe that every encounter has its purpose. I do not live in the past and I have been LIVING in the NOW!! TODAY is a gift that is why it is called the PRESENT!!!

I recently just moved to Copenhagen 3months ago...It has been very rewarding in a lot of ways for me. I can't really say I'm living the dream but I think happiness is actually something we give ourselves. I travel a lot and exploring the world is something I hope to do for the rest of my days..

I was born into a Christian home but as time went by, the conditions surrounding me made it imperative that i experienced other ways of life while growing up... I do not regret any of this and it as brought me to the level of understanding of the Human world that i have today..

I'm interested in many things including: history, humanity and world cultures. I love hiking in the mountains and by the sea. Nature is a healing and uplifting influence upon my spirit, and in its beauty; I feel connected to the Universe. I consider myself a practical individual who is complex at times but grounded in good values. Am I perfect? Hell no! Who is? But my sincere desire is to learn how to improve my imperfections in order to become the best that I can be as an ordinary functioning human being.

I approach life with a sense of openness to new experiences and adventures with humor and wit, willing to try things previously untried, while engaging all my faculties to absorb all that I can, because I happen to have an insatiable appetite for understanding the mechanisms of our reality. In this regard, I have traveled extensively around the globe - Africa, Europe, Turkey, Japan, India, South East Asia, The Middle East, South America, around the US Canada, South Pacific Islands, Caribbean Islands; I was recently on a 2 weeks cruise around the Caribbean (my 5th around the islands). Travel; which gives value to time spent on this planet, is continuously giving me new perspectives that are filled with exciting experiences and much spiritual and cultural enrichment.

I look forward to hearing further from you…that is, if you are still interested..

Lawrence





Dear ,
It is so refreshing to receive a letter from a woman who can express and communicate from the heart. Thank you so much for keeping in touch!

Your household must have been full of people and great moments that build a life time of memories, I want to thank you for the kind words about me. It takes one to know one. I am very receptive, sensitive and reflective. I can feel the sincerity and the openness and I like what I know about you so far. I am looking for a woman who has lots of integrity, expressive of her feelings and believes in OPEN COMMUNICATIONS. I believe in honesty is the best policy. My dad used to tell me that if you tell the truth, you do not have to remember anything. The truth will set you free. At the moment. My danish is totally poor and let me say I speak Zero Danish.

I seek a seriously inclined woman of substance who is sincere about making this online process work for a mutually exciting experience. Someone who is unattached and emotionally available to share and expand life with as: partners, companions, friends and lovers - someone with whom I can communicate with words, touch and even our silence - looking forward together in the same direction, while creating our own bubble in which to cuddle and escape from life's daily annoyances; mutually growing in a comfortable way without sacrificing either of our individuality, with respect for each other's culture and beliefs; still exploring our amazing world with the excitement of discovery - and each other's minds and emotions to whatever degree

I communicated via email and phone calls with a few women and when you get to know them in person, they turned out to be the opposite. They were 2 -3 who are very emotionally unstable but said they were ready for a monogamous relationship, but yet they are still dating 3 men. I would only want my relationship based on honesty and sincerity. I am tired on women who want to play games. I do not believe in one night stand. Sex is very beautiful when you are with somebody you really care about and have a very strong emotional connections.

I am a very happy person and living life to the fullest. I do not need a woman, I want to be with the right woman who will crazy about me and who I will be crazy about... Somebody that I look forward being with everyday to share my joys, my sorrow and my pains.

All my life I have been a successful career man... I am very competitive. I set my professional and personal goals. I work hard to achieve them.I believe in balanced life. I work hard and play harder now a days. I am blessed to be able to travel and be with family. I like the fact that you are also very family oriented.

I love to pamper and be pampered by my woman. I am very affectionate and romantic. I am natural pleaser and would do everything to please my woman. My two top LOVE languages are PHYSICAL TOUCH and verbal affirmation. I touch to convey my feelings and I verbally affirm my intimate feelings. There is more to physical chemistry. There should be emotional, spiritual chemistry. In fact, by talking in the phone we can discover if we have the verbal communication chemistry. My love-life is very important but I am very cautious because I do not to get hurt ..

I believe in teamwork and that together we make short term and long term goals. That we work together to achieve common goals. I take care of myself by living healthy: moderate eating, regular exercise and staying positive happy and grateful everyday! I have been reading a great book “The truth about love”. It is very informative on the three stages of love: Chemistry, Compatibility and COMMITMENT! I am not just looking for friends but also looking for the LOVE of MY LIFE who I want to grow old with graciously.

Looking forward to talking to you soon.

Lawrence

I received this email on 29 APR 11
Thanks for your email back and lovely complients about the pictures you sound like a very Interesting person to know....Let me start by telling you some Basic but important things about me. I am currently on my way to Shanghai , China for a business Trip. Due to this business trip it would not be possible for us to have a physical

I live with my son (Gilbert) in Guildford, Surrey. UK presently. Surrey was not were I intended to move to when I left Texas initially. When I first came to United Kingdom, I lived in london for about a month. During my stay in london I realized that living in busy cities was not something I wanted to do anymore. The best option for me at that time was Surrey, So I made a decision to move there. The main reasons why I moved to United Kingdom was because of my job. There are many other reasons but I will tell you about it in the future or in another email. I'm always very direct and straight forward i used to smoke but I quit ayear ago. I drink occasionally...

Richard

I'm sorry I missed when the OP posted the emails the first time.

100% scam. Certain peculiarities in the writing tell me the author was not raised in the United States. The writing tells me this is an African scammer. As you can see, he slips up here:


4/30 email

Karen still live here with her husband and my granddaughter.

4/29 email

I live with my son (Gilbert) in Guildford, Surrey.

4/30 email

We got married and moved to Texas Medical Center area of Houston USA, and had our only child Gilbert

Please don't point mistakes like this out to him, as they might help another victim to realize he is a scammer.

As far as working fast goes, these scammers are generally sending the exact same emails to several women at the same time. They are pretending to be in love with all of them, and of course trying to get money from all of them too.

wlooi, is he still using the same name and email address?

this was his 1st email on 27 APR 2011. His email is [email protected]
Hello

How are you doing today ? i am so pleased with you giving me your email address . well i must say you are a very nice looking lady and i would count myself lucky getting to make further contact with you .

Well i am abit curious about what a nice lady like you is doing on a dating forum as its hard to see nice people on such forums most of the people i have seen in the past are only after sex ,i did attach a picture of me and my son for you on here and i hope you like it anyway that would be all from me for now and please dear i would be glad if you feel free to ask me whatever you want to know about me as i will answer with pleasure .
Hope to hear from you soon

Richard

I have not received any emails from Richard since 30 APR 2011 when i asked him who looks after Gilbert when he is travelling or does he take Richard with him. He has not replied since.

Hi. I also received this email from Richard. I got to know him from a dating site. He initially used the email [email protected]. He sent me this email using this email address [email protected]
The email received is almost identical to the above or rather other postings here. I now feel like my privacy being invaded and it's horrible to fall victim to these type of scams. Writing this to warn others: Here is his email:

Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 21:32:37 +0000
