Strange personal messages

They're obviously reading lots of comments and personalising the messages. Creepy!

Chestersmiles mentioned having a little dog and it being recently deceased .
He seemed to think that I paint portraits of animals .
He said that it was proving difficult to send me a photo of his pet.
I said never mind and wondered if he'd ask me to send an email address /phone number .
I'm always on red alert .

*Oreo*, I don't understand why I got messages from a shortbread fetishist from San Francisco, but not from a Nigerian Prince who wants to give me money. It's not fair!

I'm sorry you've been dumped though. You must be very disappointed.

I would probably get along quite well with a shortbread fetishist.

Chester PMd me and complimented me on my sense of humour 😁

Last night I watched Hey Beautiful on BBCIplayer. The scale of scamming worldwide is astounding and it’s hard to believe people part with such huge amounts of money.

Chestersmiles is such a lovely name. I'm sorry he has completely ignored me.

I watched that too, and was equally astounded.

I do think that scammers look for ‘hooks’ - a widowed cousin of mine, an educated, intelligent woman was totally taken in by someone she met online who liked art and classical music, shared her tastes. She lived in the US, he allegedly lived in the UK. I offered to meet him in person to suss him out. She offered that, he disappeared.

Chestersmiles was impressed with my vocabulary! That’s a first I must say.

I received one fromChestersmiles as well.

This was the text:
Hi Monica, I came across your post and wanted to reach out with a quiet hello. I’m very sorry for your loss. I know there are no perfect words for a time like this, but I hope you’re surrounded by people who care about you and give you the space to take each day as it comes. I just wanted you to know that someone noticed and wished you a little strength today.

After the wonderful response after I posted my sad post. To now be assailed by an opportunist like this who thinks that hopefully grief has addled my senses and I might well be a soft touch for a scam, sickens me.

Gosh that’s awful M0nica

I’ve had one from him too quoting from one of my posts. Very creepy

It was to my reply to M0nica’s original very sad news that Chestersmiles responded to me.
I posted that I knew what she was experiencing which outed me as a widow.
I feel outraged that scammers pick out people when they are vulnerable and play on it.

So sorry. This kind of thing sickens me too and infuriates me.
What a piece of work.

I was thinking how good it is that we are able to share this information - a real help. Love y’all as they say here !
