James Michael Collins

What's a woman to do?  Go back online, right?  I have never had any success online ever.  But, there are tons of happy couples who have met and, evidently, found their true loves.  I am NOT going to have a negative attitude, I am the ultimate optimist.

I start perusing/cruising online dating sites.  I experiment with one I've never used before, probably because I wasn't old enough then...a 'senior' site.  I put up a sassy profile.

James from Omaha, Nebraska hits on me right away.  I look at his profile...professional, nice looking picture, fat income, educated, widower, loves God.  I wait a day or two and send a brief email back.

This is the response word for word:

WRITES JUST LIKE AN OXFORD MAN, RIGHTO??!!   I mention him to my daughter.  You should google him, she says.

 I do...James Michael Collins Omaha Nebraska.
Nothing in the White Pages...mmmmm...that's odd.

But something does appear in DATING SCAMMERS!!!

A post appears warning the reader of a James Michael Collins in Omaha...here's the excerpt.

"Life has been so beautiful for me until four years ago, when I lost my wife and only daughter, I couldn't bear it. I need a wonderful woman to spend the rest of my life with, I hope one day I will see a smile that will fill my life with sunny rays of happy family life."

The Irishman, James Michael Collins, is actually Nigerian and, eventually, he wants your money.

I wrote back:  YOU DISGUSTING SCAMMER, DON'T YOU EVEN CONTACT ME AGAIN.

But, I'm still optimistic...lol.
