Subject: THINGS ABOUT ME

Hello dear,

It is with great pleasure mailing you and a nice atmosphere. First I would like to introduce myself to you, My name is Jeff Tony and am 49years old. I'm from Scotland. It is a self-governing Crown Dependency of the United Kingdom between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. I had my studies in business management which am into supplying of Garnet stone to companies and individuals , US, UK and Asia , I have been to some Asian countries like , China , India , Singapore and Malaysia and I have been successful in my job. My dad is late(69 YEARS) while mum(61 YEARS) is still alive active and healthy. I have been lonely all my life because is very difficult to find someone nice , who is honest and straightforward , but I still believe there some woman out there with a kind heart and faithful type.

Dear I'm just living this whole life alone since I broke up with my ex, sometimes I feel sad and out of touch, so I think I'm too lonely and also am not getting any younger, so I seek for a woman whom I will spend the rest of my life with as am very serious looking for a life partner. I'm ready to commit everything to make this dream come into reality. My hobbies are , swimming , shopping , sightseeing, I love traveling base on my job and I love music so much. My favorite colors are white, red , green and my luck number is 4.

I took up engineering studies for three years and I’m a Marine Engineer and a business man to the core. I love my jobs so much though it’s stressful but very lucrative. In terms of business, I buy some electrical equipment’s and among the things I buy is Marine Chips which are used for many purposes such as Cleaning diamond, for milling of gold, it’s used for the purification of coal which would later turn as liquid and it’s mainly used in some parts of plane, ship etc. Although a lot of people are not aware of its uses and it’s a lot of money. This particular one called Marine Chips-XHG which is the main bone of contention in my business.

My dear is really nice meeting you here and I believe knowing each other will be a big bless to us . And am hoping to continue this our new communication to see where this can lead us, as I have already told you things about me, my job and hobbies, hope we can give a try to see what the future has for us. I attach you my pictures although it's not that beautiful and that's why I do not take pictures always.I am here in the US on a business trip for two weeks now...

I have to stop here and I will be waiting for your reply. Take care .

best regards

Tony

My baby,My Sweetheart,

I can not concentrate. You have been on my mind all day. I feel like stopping everyone that passes me to tell them that I have a wonderful Lady and we are meeting very soon. I almost feel like a school boy, you have me all giddy (happy). Today has been an especially hard day.

The website he gave you seems legit and he will even send you the scanned copy of the receipt of what he seemed to order.

It's a good thing I happen to bump into this site.

Please note that on his email, he wont bother to mention your name...

Dear a female...so sad that i had bad experience with this guy before but he admit that his name is Jeff Henry and he sent me the last email:

My precious sweetheart..

This July is my B-day/V day....I will be there with YOU and your family.this is one step to tell u that am a man of my own word's.. How are you baby?. I hope you are doing great right?. My regards to your family. I cant wait to be with you soon.One more thanks so much for coming into my life.I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I just want to start by telling you that there is nothing in this world that is more wonderful than love. I just wish you are here cos I love looking at you because you are a joy to behold and as I believe that you have such a beautiful smile when ever I am reading your email..Baby it is GOING TO BE full of warmth and lights up the room. My dear, as I glance through the mails you sent to me,I began to imagine you are here with me and I know that when I see you, I would love the twinkle in your eyes because it would let me know that am not only loved but the object of your passion and desire. As am here alone, I can imagine you and I would appreciate your wonderful figure because with your figure, seeing you in a sexy dress wows me, you are indeed a beautiful lady and a joy to my eyes. Do you know that you have made me feel at ease and even gave me more hope and also more trust in you and I really can't wait to meet up with you my love. I still want to say,thanks so much for coming into my life.

As I told you from my first email, I am an Engineer and a business man to the core. I love my jobs so much though it’s stressful but very lucrative. In terms of business, I buy some electrical equipment’s and among the things I buy is Marine Chips which are used for many purposes such as Cleaning diamond, for milling of gold, it’s used for the purification of coal which would later turn as liquid and it’s mainly used in some parts of plane, ship etc. Although a lot of people are not aware of its uses and it’s a lot of money. This particular one called Marine Chips-4XHG which is the main bone of contention in my business. Malaysia is where this Marine Chips-4XHG can be found very cheap,

I would love to visit you first week of July for us to celebrate the birthday together and to engage you above all for us to plan for our future together and as well to do my business as well but about my business,I have already done with the order online from here and they will deliver in your address cos willing Asia is duty free..Do that when I come I will have while going back as a hand carry .... which is this month and would like to spend two weeks with you if you don't mind. Just check your programmes and see if it suites you or not with the date I choose ok?. I don't think I would disturb your work in any way. Your wish is always my command baby. Before I book my flight please help me by given me your full name and full address,.here is the company name is GLOBAL MECHANICS INVENTORY and the web site..www.globamechs.com...please check it out and see what I am talking about.. I want to really give you a different side of life that you have not experienced before. But remember, am a very jealous human being and that is why I always make my partner more comfortable ......I will stop here now and hoping to hear from you soon.

Abella agony auntYour guy is not for real.

And wow is he trying too hard. So much more detail than he needed to say, which screamed out fake to me too.

There are some dangerous bad people in the world. One of the things they do is sound too good to be true.

What this guy wrote to you is utterly fake sounding. Even if he does have a questionable web site.

One of the most common ways men get women into prostitution is the method he is adopted. To give you a better idea of how these scammers work please watch the film :

“Human Trafficking”

with Mira Sorvino and Donald Sutherland.

You can even watch the film in parts on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA3B829C462FD8140

The film shows how gullible girls and women are sold into a life time of prostitution. Using exactly the same method as he is using and just the same as the film, Human Trafficking describes.

The girls are duped into thinking they have found a wonderful boyfriend or a wonderful future husband. Not true.

Once girls are tricked into meeting the man or travelling with the man they are soon sold on to become prostitutes for these predatory men/

Then they are trapped in sexual servitude. Often requiring the girls or women to service hundreds of strange men (with sex) and live in degrading terrible conditions

The organizers also manipulate these unfortunate victims with trickery into thinking they owe the organizers thousands of dollars. The organizers also confiscate the women or the girls passport so they cannot leave the country they are taken to - to provide sex for strangers.

The web site proves nothing. It is just window dressing. And very amateur at that.

Cut ALL contact with this man to avoid becoming his next victim. Get a new email and never ever contact him ever again.

A female reader, G's_Girl Portugal +, writes (28 June 2012):

G's_Girl agony auntDear Anonymous,

STOP!!!!!!!

This guy is a conman! He is moving too fast, and already wants YOUR FULL NAME AND ADDRESS!!! He will pretend to have a parcel delivered to you, and ask you to PAY for it and he will then pay you when he comes there. In fact, what will happen is, you pay, he and his friends pocket the money and you never see him.

There are many many scams like this on the internet.

The only way you have to prove that this guy is for real, is to check out the website he gave you. To call the company and check he is an employee there. To wait until he makes good on the promise to come and visit... then let him visit and let family and friends whose emotions are not involved, see what they think of him.

This is too new for him already to take over, and want to deliver stuff to your address, thereby forcing you too soon to part with personal information.

The beautiful, poetic flowery words are just that - words. You need to wait for his actions to follow suit. You need to give it time. DO NOT let him rush you headlong into disaster. Time will prove if his words are for real, or just smooth words from a conman who says them to any lady to get his way/money/whatever is his game.

Don't give him your personal info. Until he tells you he will be in your country, on what date, what flight, etc. you then meet him with friends/family at the airport, and THAT is the only time you give your full details. Before that, he gets the info and tries to defraud you.

I've read and seen way too many of these scams not to recognise one in the making. A man of his business ability to suddenly need your address to have something delivered? no way, does not sound good at all.

Be careful OP, and keep us posted.

As am here alone, I can imagine you and I would appreciate your wonderful figure because with your figure, seeing you in a sexy dress wows me, you are indeed a beautiful lady and a joy to my eyes. Do you know that you have made me feel at ease and even gave me more hope and also more trust in you and I really can't wait to meet up with you my love. I still want to say,thanks so much for coming into my life.

As I told you from my first email, I am an Engineer and a business man to the core. I love my jobs so much though it’s stressful but very lucrative. In terms of business, I buy some electrical equipment’s and among the things I buy is Marine Chips which are used for many purposes such as Cleaning diamond, for milling of gold, it’s used for the purification of coal which would later turn as liquid and it’s mainly used in some parts of plane, ship etc. Although a lot of people are not aware of its uses and it’s a lot of money. This particular one called Marine Chips-4XHG which is the main bone of contention in my business. Malaysia is where this Marine Chips-4XHG can be found very cheap,

I would love to visit you first week of July for us to celebrate the birthday together and to engage you above all for us to plan for our future together and as well to do my business as well but about my business,I have already done with the order online from here and they will deliver in your address cos willing Asia is duty free..Do that when I come I will have while going back as a hand carry .... which is this month and would like to spend two weeks with you if you don't mind. Just check your programmes and see if it suites you or not with the date I choose ok?. I don't think I would disturb your work in any way. Your wish is always my command baby. Before I book my flight please help me by given me your full name and full address,.here is the company name is GLOBAL MECHANICS INVENTORY and the web site..www.globamechs.com...please check it out and see what I am talking about.. I want to really give you a different side of life that you have not experienced before.

Yours one in love and husband to be soon.

G's_Girl agony auntHow do you know your online guy is for real?

You take it slow, give it time, and see if actions follow words. Don't rush into anything. Don't part with any money, no matter what the excuse is.

There have been many success stories of online love, but there have also been many horror stories. I myself had some experience in the past. One turned out to be dating and about to get married and lied saying he was single. Another one wrote, called, emailed, Skyped, and in the end disappeared for no good reason. So even when they appear to be totally infactuated saying they want to marry you, give it time... time reveals much! True colours, to be exact.

So continue the emails, put the brakes on, and enjoy the excitement of someone who shares your interests. Guard your heart as you get to know him. In time, you will know if he is for real or not. The others on here also gave great advice, like getting his real name, address, and all those things without which you won't make a move. Be safe.

Lastly, nothing beats the real thing though! Having found The One in real life, through mutual friends, it was MUCH easier - there was a reference for him; you could spend quality and quantity time together, you could really get to know him, and distance was not a factor.

However, knowing the possibilities of cyberworld, I would suggest you continue with your love interest, and see where it goes, but use common sense, be careful and most importantly: give it lots of time!

Good Luck.

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntI think my Brother was very smart when he told me: "Believe none of what your hear... and only 1/2 of what you see..."

I believe that this applies here....

Good luck...

I have had experience of this with my son who two years ago married a girl he met online,they spoke to each other for about two years and she came over here from abroad where she stayed and met him twice, on her second visit they got engaged then the following year got married,since getting married he has went through some very rough times with her,she is moody and won't talk for days if she does not get her own way,has told a lot of lies to him,and I sometimes wonder how long their marriage will last.Internet dating is not the same as haveing a girlfriend in your home area that you can take out and get to know,so be very careful my son is suffering and he is only two years into his marriage

So_Very_Confused agony auntDO NOT believe him.

You have only sent email

no meeting IRL

no phone calls

no texts

no skype

no contact OTHER than email?

he could not possibly love you....

and how could he know he wants to marry you...

you need to meet him IRL (in a safe public place that folks know about)

you need his name

his address

his date of birth

a phone number for him

where he works

etc.

the more info you have about him the better.
