i am not demanding but just being vigilant

A caucasian guy emailed me sometime Feb. and we started chatting. He sent couples of his pictures. I did not send mine for security reasons but preferred to have a videocall. Initially, i took into account his reason of having no camera. He is working somewhere in West Africa (place that bugs me with full of scammers). He was telling sing-songy and flattery words. Well, sorry to say those cut no ice with me. We are having good conversation though after all.
Today, i brought my nerve forward to ask him for a videocall or voicecall but neither did work coz he said he is only using a hotel's desktop computer. For me, it is unusual for an expat not to have a personal computer when you are working in other country. Isn't it?
Let's see till when and how he can prove his sincerity and honesty. I demanded him i am more comfortable on a videocall so he has to find ways.

So he has been flattery and nice and polite?
Well then you should be safe!

wink

peace

Did he look like george cloony btw?

I would certainly not stand in no lobby chatting with my contacts around the world. Tell him to get a lappie if he want further contact. Say you wanna see his rooster on cam. thumbs up
Why should working in West Africa, or anywhere, stop you having a computer cam.

Get rid of him - waste of time on someone so secretive about nothing.

You can skype me if you want - I have nothing to hide.

what a match : guy from Caucasus working in West Africa ! wine
morgenlulv -> he sounds polite though. i am also observing his grammars. Visual chatting has full of deceptions.
He can call me over the phone though. Nevertheless i can still figure out where he is from through his accent.
Everybody can afford laptops, right?..so sounds skeptic he doesn't have one.
How did you know the qualities i am looking for are like of George Clooney? wink
Primavera -> he said he is employed in a construction project.

Let's give him a benefit of the doubt for the time being.
Sakineh : It sounds to be a big bubble. bouquet Move on. I would rather believe Yetti came to Hawaii than this. rolling on the floor laughing
Primavera -> i also have that instinct..handshake
Yeti at hawaii? could be, could be. I mean he was last observed at new zealand, making a strong raft..well.. laugh
rolling on the floor laughing I do not believe in fairy tales rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Ahh, you should! You should... lool

Me too!!!!!,I have been writing to this lady from Belarus,,she wants to meet but in the Ukraine (Kiev),Now I do not really mind meeting in Kiev,but I would prefer her home town of Gomel in Belarus...Anyway a conversation at work has scared me sowhat..A guy at work travelled to Russia to meet a girl..on arriving he was accosted by a group of men who stole everything he had passport,credit cards the lot, the girl then did not want to know him.Stuck in russia with no passport or cash or means of getting cash is pretty scary...I think I will play for time,,I,ll try to do some checks,,,Its sad that it has to be like this and I think she is legitimate,,but can I take the chance!!!!
Lipsee - if she is going to travel to meet you...why not somewhere neutral.

PRIMAVERA & MORGEN -> when you find your perfect match, it's definitely a fairy tale..
Metaalona -> he moved to Republic of Benin for a short-term school construction project. That place did not even ring a bell that i have to do a research.

He is in CS but has not been active for a month. Don't worry i will post his name and picture once i catch his modus operindi.
I just pity the pics of that caucasian guy which they use as cloys to ensare people.
LIPSEE -> sad to hear that story..is he still into chatting?
We should not be trapped by beautiful pics.crying blues
TAKEMETOFRANCE -> you are right..no normal guy would over use overbearing words right away... His grammars and spellings are not good enough to be a caucasian. I have been seeing clear patterns of discrepancies.

I already deleted him and em not paying attention when he buzzes me.
PRIMAVERA & LIPSEE -> if they will meet up in Paris, Lipsee has to pay her airfare tickets and hotel. Lipsee, can you afford to shelf out some pennies for her? thumbs down
RUBICON76 -> His pics look tame anyhow..and i rarely entertain emails especially of the same town coz they all look treacherous.. I have not seen anyone exempted.

boxing boxing boxing
PRIMARVERA -> it would be safer if he visits your place to know you better.cool bouquet
rolling on the floor laughing I have my favourite. Door is closed.
There is always a first time Sakineh. I am an exception to many rules.
RUBICON76 -> EN SHALLAH.. if you are..
boxing: boxing blah blah
um....well that confused me....confused

Thanks...I think!
RUBICON76 -> maybe.. you are an exception to SOME... rules..
Well yes. I try. I guess you will never know unless...
RUBICON -> what do u mean by "I try"? hummm??? sounds cynical..lol!!confused confused
I suppose I mean that I try not to be conventional and I think its fair to say that its working! Not in a bad way, just don't really want to be like everyone else too much.
hmmmmmm.. it sounds you are enjoying life in Doha.cheers wine
hmmm...not really. I am still basically friendless here. I don't get to go out anywhere and wouldn't know where to go if I did. So I mostly just stay in my hotel room and blog like a fool on CS!
RUBICON -> well it's normal for a new expat to become aloof though unless you really don't like to mingle with people here.
You can count with your fingers places you can go to.
LIPSEE -> are u british? British are exempted to visa requirements and paris is very near in UK..don't u know that?scold
Lipsee,wave you are not from Mars. You are from London. So if you are in the UK, you need nothing to travel across all the European Union. As Shenghen area. No visa !! Just take passport and flight ticket ! Paris in spring is phantastic !
Sakinesh ::hug: Paris, phantastic town and new fashion, shoes, chocolate croissants for breakfast and sweet Paris.yay
PRIMAVERA -> Italy and Paris would be my next holiday destinations!!cool cool cool

LIPSEE -> you are not in UK..doh doh BANG!!!boxing boxing
