Lovely John Wick, an orthopaedic surgeon with the US army is longing to meet a woman like me apparently. I've told him I'm a rich divorcee looking for a man like him. He wants my email/phone number but I've said I'm a nervous flower and want yo stay on messenger. Anything you want to say to John? I'll happily Add to conversation.

Ask him where and even he was at medical school. If he comes up with dates and university, invent a relative or best friend who was at the selfsame med school at the same time and ask if he knows them. Say your relative/friend has the class photo with names and is going to look for John Wick init.

Fuck - he wants to see pics of my dog and monkey. I've asked him to share his

Google images is your friend.

Send him a long rambling anecdote about your friend Fred who had a terrible accident involving a carrot while hanging curtains naked in the kitchen.

LittleMissSleepyUK · 31/03/2024 12:45

Ask what his dog and monkey are called and if they get along.

There’s a lot of photos on googles of monkeys with dogs, I tried to attach one but sadly it wouldn’t let me!!

If you run out of ideas, search ‘Becky Holmes Hates Spinach’ on Twitter. She publishes hilarious chats with scammers.

Just came to say this love her on Twitter

chitofftheshovel · 31/03/2024 12:47

What kind of car does he drive?

He's just spamming with pics and not telling me anything. I really don't think it's going to work out between us 🥲

Oh please send him this 😂

VaddaABeetch · 31/03/2024 12:49

Tell him you have 20million worth of diamonds in Dubai, can he use his profession to get them to the UK. Send them marked medical supplies?

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:50

I sent the monkey pic. Waiting.

Tell him you were left some property in a Will and you're wondering if you should sell it or rent it out. You'd like to buy a small yacht and do some sailing around the coast.

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:52

We've lost him ladies. Not active any more. The monkey and dog pic did for us I'm afraid.

He probably reversed Googled the image.

chippylips · 31/03/2024 12:53

I really thought he was the one. Back to the ironing and thanks for your company. I'll update you if he comes back.

LardoBurrows · 31/03/2024 12:58

So sorry he wasn't the one Op. 😥😥.
The right US army surgeon for you is out there, maybe just a click away.

Ask if he has a dog.

I can absolutely guarantee the he is not who he says he is. This is a scam. Please be careful and don’t send money. I get them all time

Given that in the thread title the OP says she is being catfished I think it is reasonable to infer that she knows this, even without reading the thread!

Damn I missed the fun! I occasionally get these nice single gentlemen on social media. Always remember to thank them for their service.

chippylips · 31/03/2024 14:04

He's back. Thought the monkey and dog pic was cute, still looking for my phone number, and said he went to Harvard - coincidentally at the same time as my cousin Jane😉. Here's the latest
"Nice. Well I'm glad she remembers me. Anyways. I do not see you as a stranger any more and I'm sure you don't see me as one too. So how about you give in to me and let's take this opportunity to the next level."
Slightly apprehensive about the next level. Tempted to ask if he means anal.

I think it's time to confess your enthusiastic interest in pegging....

and also to ask him what the protocol for #NOF is where he is working. say you have a friend interested in military medical protocols (I actually am, always learnt a lot from our military colleagues when working in a combined military/civilians facility)

tara66 · 31/03/2024 14:16

Have you asked him about what MRI is? You need to know!
Good luck with ironing - I never iron any more!
