Sorry I haven't posted lately. I have more stories. Are you really surprised? :) A friend of mine has called this a sport for me now. Spotting them just gets easier and easier. I have about 3 more fake military guys. Had one last week, not sure he was military, he sent me a message on plenty of fish. I read it and he just sounded too good to be true. So I responded back with a short message: "Thank you for the lovely compliments. The picture of you and your daughter is precious. Are you for real or are you a scammer?" Yes I did send that message. The next day I checked on POF and guess what? He blocked me. SCAMMER ALERT!!!

Okay, I don’t know what it is, but more and more fakers are coming out of the woodwork. I think since my last post I had about 4 more guys claiming to be in the army. I may have said this before but it I’ve read they target women over 50 and who are lonely. Well, this chick isn’t lonely or desperate. But of course they don’t know that. J I have another one today who claims to be in the army. I’ll let him tell me all about himself and then I’ll slap him with my story about how many guys on here have said they are in the army and really aren’t. Again, this is disgrace to our military men and women. I have a great idea on a dating website. No written profiles!! It should be videos. You have to record a video of yourself where you talk about yourself. What better way to show who you are. I think you would get a better picture of the person and hear their voice and hear them speak. Being fake would be harder. I know some will try but maybe this would slow them down. I love this idea. I work in the IT department I should see if anyone is interested in creating a sight like this and I could run it. Any takers? I’m serious!!!!! Don’t forget to check out my You Tube channel.

Here is the continued conversation. Interesting how he tries to explain himself. Sam: S: Have you got back now. or you still busy now ? PATSY: Hello SAM: opez: I think you have go and pick your daughter now PATSY: I already did. My pies are cooking in the oven SAM: : Oh that's very great I hope is your daughter doing well ?

Ok Okay, since I last posted I've had several more guys claiming to be in the army. OMG!!! Well today's guy, and this was one I messaged first on POF. We sent a few messages back and forth and then asked about a chat place so I told him about Google hangout. So we went there and exchanged messages. These guys need to come up with new stories. Well this time I got google hangout on my laptop and I copied the conversation to share it. Here it is... SAM: Hi Pastsy PATSY: Hello. And it's Patsy. So what do you do for a living? SAM: I am U.S Army and you are? PATSY: I am a secretary. Thank you for your service. SAM: That's very good working too. So for how long you have been working as Secretary so far? PATSY: Since I was 18. What do you do in the army. SAM: I am into Mechanical/Computer Engineering. That's my MOS,I am also an E-9 Sergeant Major. That's my rank..I work in the Senior department of the Military.. I'm Samuel Morrison Lopez , a nice and easy going person with an open wild heart. Tolerating, understanding and jovial. I've been a Single for 6 yrs now. I have 1 beloved Son who is 15 yrs old of age name call by Micheal the source of my happiness PATSY: I have a daughter. I read on your profile that you're a widow. What happened to your wife SAM: That's good and how old is your daughter. My wife had a car accident PATSY: I am so sorry. So where are you stationed. I can't chat too much longer. I have to bake 2 pies for tomorrow. SAM: I work in the US Army as a peace keeping soldier. Even at this moment of being in communication with you, am on a mission with my troops here in Afghanistan now. We've been here 4 months 2 weeks now and will be out back to the STATE in 8 weeks times because am working on my retirement papers. PATSY: Where do you plan to retire. Your profile says you in Fenton. Who takes care of your son while you're deployed. SAM: Yes, Fenton is where I was grow up.but I about to relocate myself in anywhere I could found my real soul mate to share the rest of my life with. My Son is in boarding house in UK LONDON.. He school teacher's be taking care of him I have to go pick up my daughter. We can chat more later (after I make my pies). SAM: Oh okay. can I no the time we can chat back again now. because I will be going to training ground These guys really need to write better. I could tell from the first couple of sentences he wasn't real. All the message are similar. I'll be back with more stories.

Okay, so here is my story from last week. I got a message from a guy on POF and he was cute (they always are). He sent me a message that he likes my pictures and wanted to get to know me. He said he was in the Army stationed in Afghanistan and that he was retiring in a month. Heard that before. So I messaged him back and asked if he was really in the army or was he yanking my chain. I told him that I heard from several guys on here who claim to be in the army and really aren’t. So I waited for his response. He said why would he have a reason to try lie. So I gave him a chance but still didn’t believe him. So I asked where he grew up in St. Louis. He said he was born in Ohio and moved to St. Louis two years ago. I asked how what was the time difference between Afghanistan and St. Louis. I waited and waited. No answer. I went back to look at his profile and it was gone. Actually he probably blocked me. He didn’t know the time difference obviously because he wasn’t in Afghanistan. I’m getting really good at spotting them. Here are some hints to look for when you get a message from someone who says they are in the Army: · As soon as he says he is in the military and on a peace keeping mission, he isn’t really. · On their profiles you will only see one picture and they only have no siblings. · When you chat with them their parents are already deceased. · When they say they are from St. Louis, ask them what high school they went to. As you know this is famous St. Louis question. If they can’t answer that, they aren’t from here and are lying. But sometime they do their homework give you the name of one that is here. · They say they have one child and a family friend or maid is taking care of them. (Or a nanny). If you can get a screen shot of their profile so you can post their pictures on the military romance scammers facebook page. I put that link in a previous posting. To be continued…

I just started a You Tube Channel about my online dating. So please check it out and subscribe to it. And keep coming back here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvM1QvquNrfN4N89t_Rtd7w

I found some websites that has been very helpful in seeing if some of these guys are scammers. The first one is: http://www.romancescam.com/check.htm This gives you steps to go through to check people out. It is free. This one you can upload the picture and if they it, it will pop up. It will also pull up other pictures that are similar. http://www.scamdigger.com/picsearch.php Here is a facebook page that is all about the military scammers. https://www.facebook.com/MilitaryRomances This one shows pictures used most frequently in scams: http://scamdigger.com/pictures-used-in-military-scams/

Then I moved on to Plenty of Fish (POF). I have several POF stories but I have to tell you the one that just happened this week. So I go through the pictures and profiles and saw a guy who looked cute and had a decent profile. So I figured what the heck I’ll send a flirt. He responded back right away and we exchanged several messages over 2 days. He said he was in the army special forces and right now he was stationed in St. Louis. He is from Valley Park. My first question I asked is what high school he went too. He told me JFK High School. So I checked and that high school is in St. Louis. Okay, so that may be true. As we chatted he mentioned be stationed here and I should have asked where, instead I said oh are you at Jefferson Barracks and he said yes. My goof there. Supposedly he has an 8 year old daughter who lives in KC and is being taken of while he is here. He said his wife was killed in a car accident five years ago. So a day later he says I should get a google account and get hangout app on my phone and we could message through there, so I finally get it and we exchanged messages. The next day we messaged and I was still skeptical. The messages he was sending weren’t making any sense. I sent him a list of 10 questions and he answers them all. I asked what he does and he gave a very long and detailed explanation. I thought well maybe he is who he said he is but he could have gotten all that info on the internet. Of course the compliments started about how I am the most beautiful thing he has seen in the last years. During the conversation he asked me 3 times what I was doing. I told him the same thing every time. So he sent this message: “It’s getting late over here, just need to check on the refugees once more, give some report and I’ll talk to you later.” My eyes lit up. So I asked him if there were refugees at JB? He said for now. I checked and there are none there. It is the home of the National Guard. So here is where I nail him in his lies. This is what I wrote back to him: “Are you really in St. Louis or are you yanking my chain? I’m not being rude but I’ve run into a couple of guys on here who say they are in the military and really aren’t.” He response was: “omg. Seriously?” I respond back: “Yes, I found first one on a website about this kind of thing. His picture was there. I wasn’t hurt or mad. Just don’t want to waste me time.” He said ok. I wrote back that I just want honesty.” Guess what? I never head back from him and this was from a day ago. And he conveniently blocked me from seeing him POF. I know this because a co worker has the app and she said she saw him on the day before. Now I did google him everywhere and nothing came up. Tip 4: When you don’t find them on the internet, chances are he is using a fake name. Everyone who has a smart phone or internet access has their foot print out there. So if you google and can’t find anything? It’s a fake name.

The next site I tried is Our Time for people over 50. I signed up for one month. The second day I was on it my account got hacked. Oh great. So that Monday I was able to get it back by calling the company. Nothing bad happened. Our Time noticed something wasn’t right so they shut down my profile. Kudos to them for catching that. No personal info is in there so I don’t have to worry. Just had to change my password. One bad thing about Our Time is their sight is so slow and has lots of ads. I got a message from a guy. I messaged back. His profile says he lives in St. Louis but he said he was in Atlanta GA for six months. He makes jewelry. He says it takes him all around the world because he personally delivers it. Hmm. Suspicious to you? It was to me. Of course I googled him and didn’t find anything. My first suspicion is he was using a fake name. I could be wrong. Not likely though. We exchanged a few more emails and he asked for my phone number. NOPE! Not gonna happen. I had told him about my scammer story and he was eager to talk to me. He wouldn’t answer any of the questions I asked too. Okay, scammer. So I emailed him back and said I wasn’t ready to give out my number and maybe I wasn’t ready for this. (I can be nice). He was nice and said he understood. No more contact since

So one night I was online and I got a message to chat so I clicked yes. This guy was 61 (I’m 53 soon to be 54). He seemed nice but he was too old (I guess it’s the cougar in me coming out). He wrote a very nice email. He was from Sweden (I think). His kids were grown and I think he said he lived in Fenton (if that’s true). He then tells me how lonely he is. OMG!! He would definitely smother my groove. So I politely emailed him back and told I was looking for someone closer to my age and good luck in his search. Well he emails me back and says age is nothing and goes on and on and once again mentions how lonely he was. So I blocked his email so he couldn’t email me and blocked him on the site. Done. I get another email from a lady who has a friend who also saw my profile and thought I was beautiful. Give me a break. She tells me all these wonderful things about him and I should surprise him and email him. Okay, what the heck. This will make a great story for my blog. I email him. He emailed back with pictures. TOO OLD!!!!!! He was very nice but I just never responded back and he didn’t write back either. So that’s good

A few days later I get a message from a guy on Match he said he met someone from here and is getting married next month but he said his friend was looking over his shoulder and saw my picture on the site and thought I was gorgeous. He said I should surprise him and contact him. He gave me his email. I thought about it and though sure what the heck. So I emailed him. He was very surprised to hear from me and glad. He sends a very nice email and tells me all about him. Once again going on about how beautiful I am. (I know I know). We exchanged a few emails. Of course he lives in Canada. What a surprise. I googled and him didn’t find out a whole lot about him but he did really live in Canada. Well one night I emailed him back and told him about the scammer I encountered. What a surprise but I never heard from him again. Hmm. Another scammer? Who knows? Who cares? That’s when I thought I should really do a blog about this. I thought maybe this would get me on the Ellen Degeneres show and she could set it up so I could meet Chris Pratt and Chris Evans. Okay, I am getting off track here. Chris and Chris are my cougar crushes. (Oh yeah Channing Tatum too). My hairdresser Debbie loved my stories. Every time I would go in she would ask if I had any stories and so I would tell her. She and I would laugh the whole time I was there. She agreed I needed to do a blog. This was really getting hilarious. So now this was an experiment for me. But I in no way would hurt any man or lead them on. If I would meet someone fine but I would document all this for my blog. To be continued...
