For some reason, the women started addressing their messages to “Not” rather than to “Michael”, presumably because I had previously registered an account “Not Real”, although I’m not sure how that account/name became linked to the “Michael Michaelson” account
- 19 year old Rui: what make such a man open his door for me?As for “Binghan” above, why would “Rui” want such a man as a seventy year old in search of scammers to open his door for her?
- 45 year old Xianhong: Do you like a sweet and passionate Chinese girl? [followed by images of roses]
- 31 year old Lisha: Do you like a sweet and passionate Chinese girl?
- 22 year old Wenwen: I am such a passionate sweet lady,you will love to being stay with me forever?MichaelThree “sweet” and “passionate” women message “Michael” one after another – are they reading from the same script?
- 27 year old Fei: i live in your country now ,can i visit you ? [followed by emoticons]It’s suspicious that “Fei” uses the phrase “your country” rather than naming that country, I doubt she even knows which country it is, let alone that she lives in it.
- 26 year old Hongmin: oh , so tired now. want to lie on the bed, then close my eyes. would you like to join me honey??Doesn’t this seem more than a little forward for a genuine woman sincerely searching for a life partner?
- 24 year old Hui wealthy, do you like to have a wealthy wife?I can be a good wife.I am serious.I am for real.I want have you. Can you be mine?How likely is it that a wealthy and attractive 24 year old woman would proposition a 70 year old man whose image she had not seen and about whom she knows effectively nothing except that he wants to hear only from scammers, versus the likelihood that. How likely, too, is it that if she were legitimate, she would send the exact same message a second time not long afterwards (she did)?
- 20 year old Yiling: i live in your city ,can i visit you ? [followed by a bunch of emoticons]”Yiling” implies that she knows in which city “Michael” lives without him even having mentioned it anywhere, and, tellingly, she does not name that city.
After several days, the chat pop-ups stopped arriving from asiandate women and started arriving (almost, but not quite) exclusively from anastasiadate women (more on this site and others in the family later), as evidenced by both the physical appearances of the women and the chat links, which were to pages in the anastasiadate domain. There were hookupdate.net/tinder-vs-badoo pretty much constantly at least one and often around five chat pop-up windows on the screen at a time.
The “questionable” letters
Within 24 hours, the letters began accumulating in “Michael’s” asiandate inbox. Again, most of the women in the photographs looked like professional models. Many of the letter writers purported to have read “Michael’s” profile, in which he solicited messages from scammers only – yet here they were messaging him anyway. Whilst this is strong evidence of fishy business, I’ve got an even better actual smoking gun to present afterwards, so read on for that. Here is a sample of those quotes from those letters, including any of my comments in grey.
