This guy has just started a conversation with me....with very good looking pictures of himself, may I add...as well as a cute daughter...but I got suspicious this morning when realizing there were only 6-7 profile pictures of him posted on Thursday....he sent me the ad request on Thursday evening and Friday morning he got in touch. He goes by the name of Paul Edwards. He is searching for a partner to look after him & his daughter...I foolishly replied this morning that I am already married...as I told him in my initial email..but he did not seem to pay attention....I guess I felt sorry for his 'lack of family status'....but luckily never gave any personal information about where I live (town) or where I work..or any contact details etc. I gently turned him down lol!!! But he has not yet checked my messages...so now that this IS a scam, I am going to block him before he can reach me!!

I will send his conversation, but not mine to you here & see if I can forward the pictures he used!

No email or any information on his profile. Have already blocked the bloke.

Im so glad I thought of searching about the message he sent because it sounded and felt too "scripted" for me. Thank you for giving warnings of all sorts regarding men like these.

I am not able to send the photo so others may be warned. Thanks again
