Just that really. Nothing nasty etc.
Call me cynical but I suspect it's one of those scam mailings trying to get vulnerable old biddy (me 🙄) to part with hard earned cash.

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

Waiting with bated breath

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

😂😂😂

Let us know when you get the cheque!

@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.

@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.

... 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!

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

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 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.

Cossy Fri 16-May-25 12:27:36

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

Cossy Fri 16-May-25 12:27:04

Not weird! A charming scammer?

nanna8 Fri 16-May-25 09:27:51

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.

crazyH Fri 16-May-25 09:23:17

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

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

Marcv Fri 16-May-25 08:30:31

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.

Millie22 Fri 16-May-25 08:18:01

Oh Marcus I hope you have some friends in rl.

😊

NannyJan53 Fri 16-May-25 08:08:08

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