I got email from a guy and when I viewed his profile I was surpised to see my own words, a portion of my profile, cut and pasted into his.
Now I don’t believe he is a scammer, maybe his english is not so good and he thinks I express his idea of what he wants the right way.
I did it once myself, I read a profile and I liked it and I used a part of it, a story, to illustrate my own idea. I used quotation marks when I used his words and referred to him and asked him for permission to use it. he wasn’t on line for a long time and didn’t see my email so I took the quote away.

Maybe he liked you and thought that if he had the same interests as you, that you would write him back. grin
Or, he is a scammer and will soon ask for money and your bank account numbers.

Truly, it is odd that anyone would do that. I would be asking questions and if he did it as a joke, that is one thing, but who knows till you ask him and dig around in his mind.

Hi Explorador wave

that is the right way to do it. If he or she says no then according to EU copyright laws you have to delete asap.

thumbs up
