Within a day i received the following email from 2 people. it seemed a little fishy to me to be real. Both titled: About Me both men gave a whole long personal letter about themselves, That part was different, but then, there was a paragraph from each that were identical. i thought it'd be better to stop correspondence. i thought it was creepy. what do you think?
" I am really interested in wanting to know about what makes you the special person you are today, I want to know more about your family, your background, your life experiences, past relationships, your goals and dreams, your interests, and anything else you want to tell me. I even want to learn about the secrets you very rarely share with someone!. So come on and share it all with me, as I am not here to talk to you about general things such as partying, the weather, sports, e.c.t. I want to learn about you and what makes up your heart and soul, as the friendship I want to build with you I want it to be like no other you have ever shared in or experienced."
Yes, of course. Scammers are lazy and busy. They use templates.
You can google parts of messages which you receive.

270 results there this morning , you would think the site could slow them dowm by setting up a program so emails saying the same thing could be blocked .

it just happened that i'd received both of those emails within a few hours of each other. and it was a little too mushy to forget. who talks like that? well, apparently, no one. haha

Confuse them by sending the exact same mail back to them!
Oh, and ask them both for their contact details, and when they ask for yours, send them each others'! That will keep them busy!
