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 if he’s mates with Dan, who has been trying to woo me today 🤣

Is that Prince Andrew in the background?!

Let him know that if he does come to see you, he will have to walk through a wall of magic fire and defeat a dragon.

Years ago I lived in Dubai and was a member of a community face book group. A random guy infiltrated the group and started messaging the female members. He was using the same lines on all of us, it was hilarious. He wanted to take me out for diner so we could eat pasta and potatoes, as this is apparently what European women like to eat. Funnily enough though, one of my neighbors did actually have a pet monkey, she would bring it with in the lift, sometimes it worn a t-shirt.

I am currently conversing with a lovely American soldier called Steve, he's sadly widowed with a 7yo boy. He's stationed in Afghanistan and can't access his American bank account, and needs a small amount of cash to pay for his little lad's medical treatment. Ladies, wwyd? He only needs £153.78 Easter Grin

@pleasecallmeback - ask about the child's condition as you're a paediatric nurse.

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

I just looked her up. Brilliant!!!

Trainingfairy · 01/04/2024 18:03

OK, stand back; I can trump John Wick.....
I've got Richard E Grant chasing ME....
He jumped in on one of my FB posts and asked how I am; and I KNOW it's the real Richard E Grant cos his FB page is full of his famous face. So it must be him mustn't it?
I'm star struck and gone all girly - what shall I say to him? 🙆‍♂️

As he has medical expertise could he advise you on your monkeys terrible bowel problems?

Ukrainebaby23 · 01/04/2024 22:08

Hmm John Wick, I'm.pretty sure he made an.attempt to part my adopted mummy from her hard-earned pension. Fortunately she had been well instructed by my siblings and her money was safely away.

OldPerson · 01/04/2024 22:09

Just when he first asks for money, have a greater cause.
When he asks how you're raising money, ask him how he is raising money.
Then raise a whole lot of emotional issues.
The more time "he" or "the group" spends on you, the less time they have for the sad desperate saps, who would send money.
The only thing worse than being a sad desperate sap, is being one without any money left.

Mamanyt · 01/04/2024 23:11

OOOOOOH! What fun! I, too, play with scammers on FB! And there are so many, I can pick and choose. When I get tired of them, I just go in for the "kill." They generally take a long hike when I reveal that both of my grown sons work in cybersecurity and fraud prevention, are VERY protective of their mama, and will certainly be doing a deep-dive into any of my close contacts.

Ask him for recommendations for the finest wine known to mankind, and you could also beg him to share his recipe for “cooking” that wonderful English delicacy the very fragrant camberwell carrot.

Pic attached. Keep them coming.

I have a friends request from his twin brother, who has a different surname. What are the chances?

Love this, it needs to be done more. Will post next time I get one of those (probably had a dozen or so in the last year, shame really, some of them are quite hot 😄)

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

I couldn't stop laughing when he said he didn't know what an MRI was.....

Well don’t be jealous but I had the REAL Keanu Reeves contacting me recent on instagram 🤣 he seemed very offended that I wasn’t remotely arsed by his claims that it was really him and be just randomly happened upon the profile of a fat 46 year old mother of 2 from Liverpool…

Nanaof1 · 07/04/2024 13:02

I had TWO "different" men ask to be my friend on FB. Funnily enough, they looked a lot alike and had the same name, except one ended with an "s" at the end of their surname.

Sadly, they were so very handsome 👹 that I became flibbered-MaGeed and "accidentally" (totally) deleted their names. Dang! 😉

It can't have been the REAL Keanu because he's been messaging me, a fat middle aged woman in West Wales. We're getting married and everything, I've just got to send him some money via Western Union, poor baby has cash flow problems.
