Hi, this is my first post on this forum... I've been watching and aware of 419 scams and baiting for a good while now. I never thought I'd post until I started getting scammer messages on my facebook page, of all places. I ignored them till I got 3 in a month and a half. Strike Three, So to speak. Here it is:

Welcome! Glad you've been keeping up with the world of scamming.

Yep, that's a classic romance scammer approach.

Even if you're not into baiting, it would help others to avoid being scammed if you could go to our victim-oriented site, www.scamwarners.com and post them as they approach you on facebook (basically like you did here, with their intro letter and their facebook info).

Posted it @ Scamwarners.

I'd love to trash this mugu for insulting my intelligence and thinking "it's complicated" means open season, but... he messaged me on my real FB page, so I can't bait him. Sad
