Fourth Message

This message is what confirmed it for me 100% that this person was fake.

************************************************************

Thank you Kevin for getting back in touch with me as it actually made my day! I’m sorry it took a while to get back to you though, i’ve been somewhat busy with so many things i’m not about to get into right now. Anyway, like i said earlier, i love what i do and I’ve been modeling for some years now, 4 years to be precise, i do mostly glamour, fashion and commercial modeling. I will be coming back to the States as soon as possible and i’ll let you know later when the date will be. I live in downtown Seattle and i only just recently moved down there from Pittsburgh PA a couple of months ago and already like it there, i see why a lot of people never wanna leave too.

Could you tell me more about yourself? Do you teach math for a living or use your math skills in some other way? It’s cool that you’re a professional mathematician, never really fond of the subject if you ask me. How do you live with your friend and his wife, what’s it like? Have you ever been married? Do you have kids or want them sometime in the future? Well, i love kids so much and i can’t wait to start a family of my own someday soon. I am really going to put a lot of effort into writing this letter to you in hopes it will provide you with a good understanding of who I am, what I’m all about and what has made me the person I am today. The reason I am going to write a letter rather than just send a message is because I am serious about wanting to establish a quality friendship with you, and because of the fact I rarely contact anyone on here, so when I do you can be rest assured I am serious about my intentions.

I am looking for a man that will be able to listen to me, communicate his feelings to me, make me laugh, hold and comfort me in times of need, stand by my side, respect me, a passionate lover in every way, someone who will love me and only me, make me smile, protect me when needed, be romantic from time to time, constantly creative and knows how to treat me right…. I know you will probably be pondering on what a pretty lady like me is doing on the Internet looking for love when i can simply get men easily right? Yes, the reason I resorted to the internet to find the special person who deserves all the love and passion that makes up my heart and soul is because I do not have the time to meet others out in a public setting because of constant work and the fact I feel you can learn so much about a person through letters because he one has to take his/her time and think about the words they want to convey, so it allows you to gain a better understanding of someone than you would probably otherwise.

The very reason I am interested in establishing a friendship with you is because first i think you do have the qualities i seek in a guy and I feel I have a lot to offer you in the way of a friendship, I know I have a lot of love in my heart to share. I’m a woman of substance and not to blow my own horn, i know I’m very unique in today’s society because I live my life through my spirituality and through the word of God and because I have such a strong understanding of what I feel my role in life is supposed to be. I am a woman of integrity and my word is my honor!. I’ve got very high standards for myself and my life is all about providing love, peace and happiness to others around me.

Where others decide to write to a lot of people and keep their messages short because they are all about how many they can write to within a period of time, I am quite the opposite and very selective in whom I choose to write and I like to give them my very best even if it is in a lengthy letter. I know the type of guy I want to build friendship and ultimately a relationship with so I am willing to put the time and effort in my messages to show that much in my messages. I’m going to have to stop here for now and wait till i hear from you.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Sarah

Again, this minced English is super weird.

• She’s cute, but she’s not a model.
• Can’t give me a specific date for your return flight? And you’ll let me know?
• “Downtown Seattle”. No one lives in Downtown Seattle, you’d say I live in Belltown, or on Cap Hill. I don’t think anyone would say “Downtown Seattle” to another person from Seattle.
• I highlighted “married” because I decided that I would be divorced in my next email.
• Talking again about how important the letters are. Just say you’re in London and can’t talk on the phone. Pointing it out over and over again proves the ridiculousness of this whole situation.
• The way she talks about spirituality makes me giggle a little.

She attached 5 pictures of herself at the end of this email. What girl would do that? hahaha

I had decided this was fake, but I didn’t understand why. These letters were so boring for someone who was trying to mess with me, or even if someone was lonely and had made a fake profile. Why was this person messaging me? The only motivation I could come up with that made any sense to me was money. That’s when all of it clicked in my head. These letters were meant to get me to fall in love with this girl, or at least be interested enough that when her “flight home” from London has problems, I’d be willing to send her money.

Romance scams are terrible, and money scams are terrible, but doing both together is seriously malicious. I could’ve just not replied, but I think you’re going to be glad I did. Since I knew she wanted money, I decided to make it sound as if I’ve got some money to throw around…

Dear Sarah,

I’m glad I made your day! You keep making mine. I totally understand being busy, there’s got to be a million things to do over there in London. You should definitely take your time and enjoy it! Honestly, I’m surprised you’re taking the time to write me at all while on such a fun vacation!

I use my math skills to predict the future, and as math sometimes does, it attracts all the ladies 😉 I work in the healthcare industry and deal with large amounts of financial risk. My job is almost identical in skillset to that of an investment banker.

It’s hard to find girls who like me for me. Usually they’re just interested in my money or good looks and don’t even know who I am. It’s really funny that you’re a model, because I always seem to end up dating models. My mom is going to laugh if you ever meet her and she finds out you’re a model. She thinks I’m very superficial and only date really attractive women. I am not superficial, which is why it’s important to me to really know someone well.

I love reading your letters, it makes me feel like I know you well. This is stupid, but I sort of miss you and we haven’t even met. You should keep track of all your favorite places in London, because maybe someday you could take me there and show me around. I feel so lucky to be talking with you, because you probably get guys constantly asking you out. I think you’re beautiful and you’re going to make a ton of money in your modeling career!

I was married once, but we got divorced two years ago. She was a hand model, her name was Vanessa. My mom was so happy when we broke up, it actually made things harder for me. I don’t have any children, even though we were trying. I also want to start a family, but luckily for me it didn’t happen with the wrong person. She left me for a tax auditor, but she never cheated on me while we were married. At least I don’t think so. I don’t really know for sure.

I am so glad you know God and you are so spiritual. I can’t stop thinking about those things either. I want to help you provide love, peace, and happiness to the world, and with Gods help, maybe we could do that better together than we could separately. I will meditate and send blessings your way as you are in London. I also hope you will come back to Seattle soon. I would love to hold your hand and pray to God about us maybe having a relationship together. I think your hands are even prettier than my ex-wife’s, and you have the warmest smile I have ever seen.

Your new friend and maybe more,

Kevin

I have never been married, nor have I ever dated a model.
