Feel I May Be Getting Set Up For A Romance Scam But I'm Not Sure.
I started talking to a woman on facebook she seemed to match my criteria exactly even before I told her what I was looking for. She approached me and initiated contact, asked if we could be friends and I obliged. After messaging each other we moved the conversation to e-mail and this is when red flags started to be raised.
1. She gave me an e-mail address that didn't match the address listed on her information page, in fact the e-mail address had someone else's name in it and was no where even close to her address. I contacted her at both addresses and got a response from the e-mail address she had listed on her page but not the one she had given me.
2. Her story was a bit inconsistent, on facebook she told me that she was born and raised in my area and was currently living over seas but would be returning to this area and then we could get together in person. Later, she would say that she was born over seas and raised in another area of the country entirely I didn't call her on it but it was like she had completely forgotten what she had told me before or that I was dealing with a different person .
3. Writing style- At times she wrote like a college educated woman and other times she seemed to struggle to put sentences together as though she was someone who spoke English as a second language.
4. Timing- This was really weird. I was about to take out a personal ad and had been praying for a good woman to enter my life and low and behold she initiates contact.
5. Perfect match of criteria I never listed- The way she described herself and what she was looking for matched my description and what I would be looking for as well exactly.
I hadn't spoken to her in a while as I had nothing really to say to her then out of the blue she reinitiated contact with me I told her I have been busy (not lying) and have been away and that was the last I have heard from her to date. I have my suspicions this could be legit but it also at times seems like I'm dealing with two different people who aren't always on the same page and am walking into a set up.
