I Hate Fake People

So a week back,I got a friend request from an unknown man from Liverpool UK.At first ,I was doubtful in adding him but got a message quickly that he was a common friend and wants to know me.

I put him in restricted list and added him.For the next 7 days,I got everything from I love you,I missyou,I want us to be together cards,every single day and night.That was overwhelming at first,but I did not react.Just said thanks.

He kept on sending me flowers,everyday until one day he asked my address and postal code which I refused .

I admit I take my own time to trust but got a bit surprised when I was asked my address.
He said he purchased a wedding ring which is plain fake as he showed me a picture of it seemingly downloaded from google images.

He said he purchased it as he came from his ofc and wants to send me ,so he requires the address and postal code.

I immedietly got alarmed and though I could not sound harsh,I still told him I dont accept gifts like this.

He was soo angry ,he stopped texting altogether.

Now I wonder,Who was he?was he really what he claimed or some freaked out guy..

For whatever he was,I was damn sure of one thing-He was fake.

The purpose is hidden though.Internet is not safe anymore,I say..

*sigh*

This is a standard Nigerian scam. One of the highlights of this scam is jumping into it real quick, and sending flowers on daily basis. What would have come next is a request for money, to deal with some emergency, or perhaps because he wants to visit you, but somehow he cannot get to his funds.

I know a few people who fell victim to this scam. The part that puzzles me though, is the flowers. You said that you did not share an address with him, but you must have shared some sort of address, otherwise, he would not be able to send you flowers on daily basis. Did you share your work address?
