Anyone else had a private message from "Marcus?"

Nope. Also haven't heard from any stranded oil rig workers, American military personnel 'on a dangerous top secret mission', a member of the CIA or MI5 also, co-incidentally, 'on a dangerous top secret mission'.
And no Nigerian princes either.

My luck is out, innit?

Do they think we came down in the last shower or what ?

Just out of interest, I wonder how many of us who were contacted are widows.
There are several threads on here on the topic of bereavement to which I have contributed.
Maybe that's how the catfishers choose their potential "friends." 🤔

I've had nice messages from David1k (not David49) and Walter recently. I just blocked them.

I can't remember his name , he thought I sounded really nice and wanted to be friends with me. Such a shame he was only 30 years old . I thought he may make more friends on mumsnet !

Anyone who pm's on here without being a regular chatter first are bound to be scammers.

You are probably right fiorentina51

@Nannyjan53 you're wrong. You’re judging me through the lens of your own past, and that’s not fair. Your experiences don’t define me.

Marcv just pm'd me with the above message....proves my point!

Oh Marcus I hope you have some friends in rl.

😊

I wish I could be the person you think I am, because maybe then your judgment wouldn’t cut so deep. It hurts to know you see me through the pain of your past, and I’m left carrying the weight of that misunderstanding.

Do you think I just came down the Foyle in a bubble? 😌

We are judging you through the lens of your posts, Marcus. Try Mumsnet.

I haven’t received any such requests - he probably knows widows have more money than divorcees 😂

I got both and I’m not a widow. He’ll have to come to Australia to meet up , back of Bourke. They’ll sort ‘im.

Not weird! A charming scammer?

Sorry, why I put “not” is beyond me! Of course it is weird!

I have been contacted by Marcv and I have never stated that I am a widow or not on GN. I don't think I have commented on any bereavement sites either.

Not sure what is going on. I intend to just ignore his messages as I have no desire to converse with him.

I think Marcv has taken the hint, but we’re just having a bit of harmless banter about messages from him and others.

A few weeks ago I had a message from Elon Musk saying I had been randomly picked to receive $1,000 000 !!

... textbook psychobabble!

In fact, all your comments follow the same pattern - the kind of buzzwords and phrases used in therapy sessions...

As if we care what "experiences" do or don't 'define' you!

@Dickens
Dismissing my perspective while throwing around baseless accusations like "scammer" is both unfair and unproductive. If you don’t care, that’s your choice.

Let us know when you get the cheque!

Oh I will Allira !!
Any day now I should think as the message was a few weeks ago!

Waiting with bated breath
