Hey all,

Just want you to know that if you get an email from rob_mj this is a Nigerian scam. He/she/it is I know now not what but not what he/she/it says "they" are. He/she/it is a "Dutch man, widow, orphan, with a 6 year old daughter, working right now in Nigeria." It is a total scam. After 2 days, ladies, he will say he is in love with you (a big indication of a scam). I have been playing along for 2 days (day 1 he says he loves me) just to make sure he is not for real, and I am sure. I have tried contacting ConnectingSingles to let them know but it isn't clear that they will or can respond to this. So, if you hear from this guy - delete him completely from everything!!

party Oh so nice to see others getting them - seems to be an epidemic at the moment?!

Some have photos which are quite obviously not of themselves .. one even looked like some movie actor!

I had an absolute classic a couple weeks ago - A "fellow artist" opening a gallery here in CH, a week later he mailed that he is in terrible trouble and needed to pay compensation to the family of a child involved in a motor accident with his car. I went into my "lawyer mode" and he explained he was in Africa having an art exhibition, he has no driving licence, and his vehicle was not licenced. The particular country where he was having his "art exhibition"?.... You guessed correctly!... NIGERIA! Of course, I immediately asked him if 200,000 Swiss Francs would be enough? ( ha ha hahhhhaaaaa... cough cough ... ha ha haaa)

jack-o-lantern ... and then reported him to the site administrators, and blocked him.

One little thing I have discerned with these scammers is that in their writings its like extracting their teeth to find out anything personal .......typical One Liners..... and not much real "conversation".

Ah Francescalou, maybe he liked you.............maybe he did fall in love with you after two days..........maybe Santa exists.....maybe there is somewhere just over the rainbow...........and just maybe (or likely) he is on a scam.

They actually recycle their pictures and stories on different sites, and if you have got the time, make a visit to the The 419 Coalition (search the net for them) and follow the instructions there.

This way their alias and mail accounts used together with the particular brand of story comes out in the open.
