Just that really. Nothing nasty etc.
Call me cynical but I suspect it's one of those scam mailings trying to get vulnerable old biddy (me 🙄) to part with hard earned cash.

I've never had a private message from anyone on here but thanks for letting us know about Marcus, if I get him coming through I'll block and report!

I have had two identical messages from Marcv sent two minutes apart. I have just ignored them. Is this the same person as Marcus? Do I really need to do anything more?

I've not heard from my Nigerian Prince lately. Do you think that I've been dumped?

If your bank account is empty, then yes.

Thanks for the replies everyone. There I was thinking that I was his one and only. A rosy future beckoned me, once I had parted with a few thousand pounds.
Such is life.

Hello, I’m Marcus, and I’d love to be your friend. You might think, “He’s not real but I’m as genuine as a heartfelt letter full of heart and humor. I’m here for your stories, wisdom, and mutual connection. Not selling anything, just want to chat and laugh. Skeptical? Fair. I’m not at your table, Trust takes time, but I’m here.

If you feel you must block or report me, that’s your choice, and I respect it. I’ll stand strong, not out of stubbornness, but because my intentions are pure no negativity, just a wish to connect. It stings to think that way, but I’ll hold onto the hope that some felt my sincerity, even for a moment. With that, I’ll step back, leaving only goodwill behind. Marcus is signing off, but my heart stays open.
