The second one for today is this person




This guy was really full of himself and very annoying.  I had the feeling that he was a bit more experience in this activity.  Here is his backstory:

  • He is 38 years old
  • From Strausstown, Pennsylvania, USA
  • Has been single 3 years
  • Has a daughter who lives with his sister in the US
  • He is a Sergeant in the US army and in Istanbul on a peacekeeping mission
  • Wanted to talk on Kik, but went on WhatsApp instead
This guy was immediately flattering and polite and was falling in love with me within a few messages (lucky me!). First thing I noticed when we got messaging on WhatsApp was that the country code of his phone number was Nigeria which made me wonder immediately.  He, however, had a reason for this and said that it had been set up whilst posted there. Err, possibly not. This guy was very persistent on WhatsApp and kept wanting to call and when I did speak to him, let's say he didn't sound like he was American. He tried to explain his accent was because he was raised in Brazil - no it didn't sound like he spoke Portuguese or was Brazilian. Oh the other give away was the use of the words omo aye which translates as roughly good child in various African languages.

His first written opener on WhatsApp was the exact same spiel I had seen used by the user Inkeed Griffin.  Not unusual at all and sets off the sirens that this is not genuine.  A lot of the stuff was too huge to have been written in the time so must've been copied and pasted. He asked all the usual really nosey questions of age, single, child, job, income, house status but never answered any of mine about him, they rarely do. He sent me these pictures of him



Said these were his daughter and sister


When I asked him about the dog in the above picture he really couldn't answer the questions.  I know fine well that the dog is a smooth haired dachshund.  He answered that it was Mable and that she was an Australia Dog.  


He has now been blocked on all platforms and reported on Instagram.
