Widower with a Masters Degree


Notice; If you are a male widowed with a masters degree and cannot compose a simple sentence please do not tell me how "I look like an angel", " All the men must be chasing me", "You are just so lonley" etc...

Ladies, some great advise was given to me when I first joined this site "beware of the widow with a Master's degree" so I'm passing this on.

I'm not sure what they want but be careful, they are still out there.

May God protect and bless all my Christian sisters on this site.

Joanne

Yes, Joanne! Thanks for the reminder. Most are scammers from Nigeria (or wherever) hoping to find someone here gullible enough to pay for them to come to the US. The widower story is to get sympathy and disarm the unsuspecting. I commonly find within a couple of days any such emails I receive have been removed for system abuse. Oh, and a word to the wise: they may say they're American, but they're in Nigeria (again or wherever) working on a special project. Don't fall for it!

GBY!

Oh yes, and that are born on January 1st also. They are too lazy to change the date. Sometimes they change from the 1977 to make them older. I got one the other day and blogged the email and my head was spinning.

I felt bad that I was making fun of him and hid the post.

Maybe I should post it again. I felt guilty after sharing the email but it was unlike any I had ever seen before in the 2 years I have been here.

What do you think?? Should I take the post back out of hiding to share with my fellow Sisters?

I just didn't want it to seem like I was mocking someone.

* A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man has to seek HIM in order to find her!!

Yeah Jersey Girl! I didn't recognize the Jan. 1st birthday, but now that I think of it, you're right.

My vote, go ahead and post it. Maybe if we make fun of it, they'll stop.

Thanks for your comment. God bless and keep you.

If they are smart enough to read this blog (which I doubt) they'll soon know we talk to eachother.
