A Romance Scam
February 5 - The "L" Word
Yeah. So, last night got pretty deep. You said some pretty big things around three in the morning.
I meant every one of them, Andrea. I hope I didn't freak you out. I know it's only been a few weeks, and we've never even met, but I feel a real connection to you. We like the same movies, and the same kind of books, we even remember the same useless trivia. It sounds crazy, I know, but I'm starting to find it hard to imagine my life without you. We've never met, yet I know that if I were with you right now I'd be holding you close. I love you, Andrea, and once Pete and I get the Print Shop off the ground, I'll be back on Long Island and we can really be together.
It's early, but I feel the connection too. It's crazy, I've been solo so long and now you come along and you're ...well you're perfect. How much longer do you think until your brother can handle the shop on his own? I can't wait to see you.
Quick claims of love should be cause to worry. Scammers want to establish an emotional connection quickly, so they tend to get serious in a hurry. Andrea might hear requests for money or "favors" soon.
