Anyone else had a private message from "Marcus?"

@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.

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

You are probably right fiorentina51

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 !

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

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." 🤔

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

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?

What a t*at!

Bless!

REPORTED

Yair right.

If you feel you must block or report me, that’s your choice, and I respect it. I’ll stand strong, not out of stubbornness, but because my intentions are pure no negativity, just a wish to connect. It stings to think that way, but I’ll hold onto the hope that some felt my sincerity, even for a moment. With that, I’ll step back, leaving only goodwill behind. Marcus is signing off, but my heart stays open.

Hello, I’m Marcus, and I’d love to be your friend. You might think, “He’s not real but I’m as genuine as a heartfelt letter full of heart and humor. I’m here for your stories, wisdom, and mutual connection. Not selling anything, just want to chat and laugh. Skeptical? Fair. I’m not at your table, Trust takes time, but I’m here.

I now have Fomo too

Thanks for the heads up.The things some toe rags do!

I've had two from Marcv . He just wants to be my friend....yuk.

He messaged me earlier. I blocked him and reported it.

Thanks for the replies everyone. There I was thinking that I was his one and only. A rosy future beckoned me, once I had parted with a few thousand pounds.
Such is life.

Me too. Definitely FOMO .

Same here Grannybags I'm suffering from FOMO

I never get any of these private messages. Starting to take it personally now!!

Yes, yesterday.

Very polite but blocked and reported.

I've not heard from my Nigerian Prince lately. Do you think that I've been dumped?

If your bank account is empty, then yes.

Also Michael02. I blocked it.

I had one from Michael02
