Information on romance scams and scammers.

I received an email through Craigslist from this person. The email was rather long but I read it anyway. I replied and told him that I am in Iowa. And if he was in California, why is he writing me? That didn't make sense to me at all.

These are the emails that conspired...

Hello...

If you are from California, I hope that you realize that I'm in Iowa. And I have absolutely no intentions of leaving Iowa. For anything.

Hi James,

After reading through some previous emails, I want to apologize for not remembering that I did give you my email address and such. I realized then that you did reply to my Craigslist ad.

So on that note, where are you from?

Hello,

I felt is important at this juncture to let you know the personality of whom and who you writing to .My name is James and am a native of American, My mom is a British born.I happen to study Force in South America where i obtain my masters Degree in first class.I own a home in CL,I have 1 Daughter her name is Tracy after the untimely death of my late wife. I was once married to a loving,caring,honest and sincere woman until death came and strike her away from me.

The type of person I am interested in a woman who can laugh, be playful and light hearted, one who is motivated and ambitious, intelligent, and self confident. I enjoy meaningful conversation in addition to plain old good fun. I'm basically a very positive person who also loves humor and laughter and would like someone with an adventurous spirit and a positive attitude who can see the funny side of life, someone who is open and willing to learn new things.

I like to share things I learn and am open to learning new things as well. I have a passion for music and a curiosity for life. To find a woman who loves to dance would be a miracle, but not impossible I believe, even if rare, but definitely a bonus, but not a requirement! lol I also love a gentlewoman who knows how to treat a man like a Prince and a baby like a man. Romance and passion are important as well. Like everyone I talk to I want the whole enchalata, including chemistry. I have learned though that chemistry is not everything and not the only component for building a strong relationship.

James


After doing some searching online for the phone number that I realize now he never gave me but I had searched for info about the number previously... I'm wondering if this is not another person that replied to my ad under the name of "Billy" since I looked in my sent folder and I never gave this "James" guy my phone number or actual email address!!! I'm freaked out.

"Billy" replied once under the email [email protected]
"James Harris" was under the email [email protected]

This makes no sense whatsoever. He is not from California; he is from West Africa and never got a degree in anything.

It is likely that this scammer got your address from another whom you communicated with.
