"Hello Dear ,
Nice to hear back from you Let me start by saying my name is Jackie juliet bryenton and I hope we'll be able to start getting to know each other now.I should tell you that I am very open-minded; I don't accept anything just because everyone else believes it and I don't close my mind to an idea just because it is strange or unaccepted by the general public. For me, tradition and custom are usually roadblocks to progress and happiness.There is no one on earth more serious about finding love and a successful marriage than I am, and you can count on that... i am from a mixed race,my dad was an American while my mum is a Nigerian before she moved to the united state to get her Master degree,she met my dad there and they both get married to my each other..they gave back to 2 of us which is i and Mcdonald my older brother, my dad was from Indianapolis,Indiana and i was born and raised there before i moved to Nigeria with my e ldest brother,our Home caught fire in Indiana and i lost my parents in this incident before i and my eldest brother decide to come to Nigeria our mothers country,i have bachelor degree in sales and marketing and One thing that is extremely important in my life is music, and I think that we'll discover that you and I like very different types of music, and that will be one of our great challenges in the future. Not an insurmountable challenge, but one that we will have to work on seriously because music is my greatest joy and passion in life, second only to love itself. And,the music I love is very different than the music most people like these days.My great dream for the future is to find the Man who will be my best friend, my lover, my pupil, and my partner in all life's adventures,at the very least. I want someone to spend all my time with,sharing all the pleasures I've discovered in life, and that's a lot, believe me.i also want someone who is very affectionate, because touching and hugging and caressing are a basic part of my spirit. How has life been treating you without a lady? what exactly are you looking for in a lady ?what do you expect from me ?tell me about your past love life
Waiting to read back from you


Warmest Regards,

Jackie"

Hello ap17 and welcome to FraudWatchers!

Unfortunately, this has all the hallmarks of a scam; to be more precise, it's what is commonly known as an Internet Love Scam, or Dating Scam. Even though no email headers have been supplied, there is enough evidence within the body of the text to suggest that this could turn into a fraud.

If you select items of the text, you will see that they are exact duplicates of various profiles that are found on internet dating sites, for instance "Mary" here:
http://www.lovecity.com/dates/females/female31-1-1.htm

and for "Jenny" here:
http://www.iwantu.com/members/jennybabygirl002/2/73259006pop=N


and for "Cheryl" here:
http://www.friendsearch.com/featured.profile/21340/cherylteel/?partner=21340

with some 20 or so other results found.

Internet Dating scams are, unfortunately very rife and are in many cases successful because the scammers deliberately play upon the loneliness and emotions of their victims. They have absolutely no empathy for whom they defraud, and these criminals will attempt to steal every last penny from their targets, no matter at what cost.

If you have any further questions relating to these types of scam, I would recommend you look at http://www.internet-love-scams.org who are very experienced in dealing with these types of crime.
