Peter, Peter, 419Eater

[bware419ers]

Kitty spoke recently about first joining Eater and reminded me of some dating sites that were once full of scammers. Once upon a time, I played in that pool often, but then time and real life took over. At the same time, I've been reading about and researching a cousin of romance scams that have been around for sometime in Asia: 'Sha Zhu Pan,' - roughly translated as "Pig Butchering." (Google it - the fraud is massive with major losses).

I found myself with a bit of free time recently and wanted to see if dating sites were better at recognizing scammer and if I might encounter Pig Butchering scams. Irene was sent to check out POF dot com. A simple profile was set up with basic info and a few responses to repel most real people. I used a profile pic created with This Person Doesn't Exist.Within 24 hours, Irene had received almost 300 messages. Here are a few of the conversations (they may be split off if the baits proceed).

Anything else jump out at you to help recognize the account as belonging to a scammer?

[Kitty La Gore]

I'll let others comment on what makes this appear to be a scammer, but when I had my character profile on the dating sites, I would do a search filter for contractors or engineers who were widowed making over $150K, and 99.999% of the results would be scammers. I would like their profile, which was enough to get a response. My character's bio spoke lovingly about her 12 cats, and the fact that her infection was almost completely gone so there wasn't much of that funky smell any more. I remember getting a reply from one (count 'em!) real guy who said, "I almost want to meet you because this is too bad to be real and I'm really curious to know if you're legit." I let him down easy.

[Mervyn Mann]

Oooh I haven't done an online quiz for donkeys so I'll throw in my tuppence worth of why I wouldn't be too sure the delightful Peter wasn't legit:

1) "Widowed" - I'd say this is a common tactic for use when demanding pity/sympathy
2) "engineer in the military" - another common tactic probably to try and instil a sense of trustworthiness and having great moral fibre
3) "deployed in Syria" - gives a very good excuse for possible delays if a Scambaiter gets them on safari I suppose
4) "one son" - Widowed? Single? One child? Poor, poor Peter
5) "Can you trust me with your email address" - wanting to get off the PoF site as soon as possible and again suggesting 'trust'
6) "Taking my boys" and "them" - I hope he didn't cleave the one son in half to make 2

Peter is also very keen to get things moving along as quickly as possible and stating how serious he is to find the 'one'. It's a good thing he's a believer in the "Almighty God" too...it's not like he'd ever tell any porkies.

Do I get a gold star?

[bware419ers]

^^^Those are all great signals to recognize. Sorry, no gold star, but you do get the satisfaction of being mentioned in a bait.

My first child was named such..

[bware419ers]

I'm still trying to find the voice and personality for Irene, but it gives Peter the chance to begin grooming her...

Irene:
I hope you are being safe.
Peter:
Yes …I am safe here. What are you doing now? Are you not comfortable yet to send me some of your pictures?
Irene:
I am still at work. I have to leave for Court in about 10 minutes.
Peter:
Oh okay…I’m preparing to go to night patrol with my boys. You didn’t reply to my last text?
Peter:
Are you not comfortable now to send me some pics of you?
Irene:
I thought I already explained this to you. There are a number of privacy issues here, especially with any online entity.
This would damage my reputation as an attorney, as well. Please do not ask again.
Peter:
Okay, sorry about that…So tell me, For how long have you been into this online relationship stuff?
Irene:
About 24 hours.
I have to go to court now.
Peter:
Oh okay…Text me when you’re back!
[b[Later…[/b]
Irene:
I'm back!
Peter:
Welcome back!! What are you doing now?
Irene:
Getting ready to fix my dinner and go to bed.
Peter:
Oh okay…What are you preparing for dinner?
Peter:
Hello
The next day…
Irene:
Hello
Irene:
You must be working.
Peter:
How are you doing today?
Irene:
I'm good! And you?
Peter:
Sound good…I’m pretty doing good too. What are you up to now!
?
Irene:
Working on a case. Just met with a client. You?
Peter:
Oh okay…I’m just lying down relaxing for night patrol. Do you live in your own house or rented apartment?
Irene:
My own home.
Do you have a home?
Tell me what it is like in Syria.
Peter:
No i don’t have my own house I was living in a rented apartment but I will get new house when I’m back to the state. Syria is a nice country. They have very nice attractions. They have an orphanage home here I used to visit them Thursday and Saturday. I just shop cookies and candies and share with them. And share some funny stories with them to make them feel happy. For how long have you been single and have you meet anyone online dating site before?
Irene:
I've been divorced for about a year. This is my first time trying to date. Yes, about a hundred guys are all trying to talk to me.
Peter:
Are you not interested in the hundred guys? Lol
Irene:
I'm responding to them as I can, but work keeps me busy. And we're chatting here, so...
And, here it comes…
Peter:
What about we deleting our profile on the dating site and stay stable here and get to know more about each other and build something strong together in the future. You sound very interesting to me. All we need is to trust each other and be honest to ourselves. What’s your mind?
Irene:
I've only been on the site 2 days.. Why would I delete it?
Peter:
I want us to get to know more about each other well and build something strong for the future. I found you very interesting. I don’t want any man to disturb you. What do you think…? Are you willing to do that?
Irene:
What about what I want?
Peter:
What are you really looking for in a new man?
Irene:
You did not respond to my question. As for what I want, it is someone who is not my ex-husband. There's a chance I don't even want a new man.
Peter:
So what got you on the site?
Peter:
What kind of man are you searching for…?
Irene:
Are you going to continue to refuse to answer my question?
Peter:
I don’t get your question well..Please come again?
Irene:
What about what I want?
Peter:
What do you want?
Irene:
I don't want to delete my profile. I want other men to massage me and disturb me.
Peter:
Oh okay…I’m cool with that. What do you like to do for fun?
Irene:
Read and play games.
Peter:
I love poetry, books, walks on the beach and cozy candlelight dinners. I enjoy movies, television, music, traveling, the quietness of the mountains, the ocean, sunrises and sunsets. Go for a run together. If running is your idea of a good time, an easy run with a new friend can make for a great date! Would you love to devote much time if you find someone very interesting?
Irene:
Running is not for me, unfortunately. I had knee replacement sugary two years ago.
Peter:
Oh, sorry about that…Would you love to devote much time if you find someone very interesting?
Irene:
I'd balance it with work. I'm not sure "much" is the word I would choose.
Peter:
I would love to devote much time. It will be very difficult for me but I will try my best to get online so I can talk to her and make her feel good and alright. Tell me what brought you to Pof?
Irene:
If I find someone very interesting, I would expect the relationship to be in person, not online.
Peter:
Does distance matter to you in a relationship?
Irene:
Of course.
Peter:
I don’t matter the distance I’m willing to relocate to anywhere I found my love.
Irene:
I thought you lived in Indiana.
Peter:
Maybe if I found someone outside Indiana.
Irene:
Do you live in Indiana or not? You are very confusing at times.
Peter:
I do live in Indiana…I said if I found someone outside Indiana I am willing to relocate
Irene:
Oh. Ok.
My law practice is here, so I don't think I could move.
Peter:
Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle; rather a great reminder of just how strong true love can be. No matter the distance between our hearts, I will pay for the long distance calls to hear your heart and voice.
Irene:
But I live in Indiana.
Peter:
I know that

[bware419ers]

Another day…after being offline for the weekend.
Peter:
Hello how are you doing?
Irene:
Fine, but tired.
Peter:
I thought you’ve ignored me for another man
Irene:
I was out of town for a wedding.
Peter:
And you didn’t informed me!
Irene:
I didn't know I had a duty to tell you.
Peter:
Is that how you’re going to treat your future husband? Lol

Hilarious, ain’t it?

Peter:
I’m your friend so you should’ve tell me that you’re leaving to a wedding….
Irene:
Future husband? Slow down.
We just met. I was just divorced.
I didn't tell any of my other friends. They don't know my niece.
Peter:
Not me maybe different man who will be your future husband.
Oh okay…But you should’ve tell me. That’s would be nice of you.
Irene:
I was too busy with work, packing, and everything else. I'm sorry, ok>?
I have to work for awhile. Will that be ok with you?
Peter:
Oh okay don’t worry…I’m cool.
Text me when you’re free to chat okay. Take care and stay safe

Irene:
You take care, too

The next day:
Irene:
Hello Peter.
Peter:
Hey how are you doing?
Irene:
Good, and you?
Peter:
I'm doing great! I hope you’re having a great day there?
Irene:
Yes. You?
Peter:
Same here….So what are you doing now?
Irene:
Eating my lunch. What are you doing?
Peter:
I’m just relaxing on here…waiting for nights patrol. What are you enjoying for lunch?
Irene:
Chicken salad.
What time is it there?
Peter:
Yummy it’s 7:49pm
Irene:
When does it get dark there?
Peter:
Around 6pm there
Irene:
Oh. So you should already be on patrol?
Peter:
We need to get some rest before we get to the patrol!!
Irene:
Oh. Now I'm eating cheesecake. It was Eileen's birthday and the partners brought it in.
Should I let you go to sleep?

Later:

Irene:
Ok. I guess you're sleeping. Have a fun patrol! Maybe we can talk again soon.

[bware419ers]

Another day! Peter seems to be getting a bit impatient and is planting several seeds for his future pay day.

Peter:
Hello
Irene:
hello
Peter:
How are you doing?
Irene:
I'm good! And you?
Peter:
I’m doing good too…What are you doing now?!
Irene:
Going through work emails.
You?
Peter:
Oh okay…Have some rest and visit the orphans with my boys and share some cookies and candies with them.
Irene:
What orphans?
Peter:
Kids that their mom and dad died through the war sometimes ago.
Irene:
I know what an orphan is. Which orphans are you visiting and why?
Peter:
They’re camp here and we used to visit them and share some story and make them feel happy.
They feel lonely…
Irene:
What that's just a lovely thing to do. How are you able to speak to them?
Peter:
Five people in one room so we do visit every room and talk to them and share some cookies and candies.
Irene:
That's so nice. Are there a lot of rooms?
Peter:
Yes!! I used my Allowance to by cookie and candies for them. They really like it and share some story with them. I’m always happy when I am with them
Irene:
What do you mean by allowance?
Peter:
Every week the UN give us allowance.
Irene:
Oh. Why is that?
Peter:
We used it to buy our personal items.

Irene:
But, why does the UN pay you?
Are you not an American?
Peter:
The UN pay me because it was a contract I signed with them. And they will pay me my contact money when I am done here and back to the state.
I am an American and why do you ask?
Irene:
Oh. I thought you were an American Soldier. In legal terms, we would define you as a persona non gratis.
Peter:
I am a retired soldier training the up Coming.
Irene:
Oh, sorry
Peter:
Why sorry?
Irene:
That you cannot retire.
My ex-husband was a soldier and he had nothing but bad things to say about it.
Peter:
I will be getting fully retired when I am done with this mission and back to the state.
Where was your ex husband stationed and is he still alive?
Irene:
What are your plans for retirement?
Oh, I don't know where he was stationed. It was in Asia somewhere, but he could never tell me where. He had four really close friends from there and they stuck together after the military forced them out. Yes, he is still alive.
Peter:
I have a lot of plans to do when I get back. Planning to invest in a real estate business and opening up a jewelry shop for the person I will found interesting. I’m planning to sell my father house in Illinois and get my own house and buy my own car.
Oh okay…Do you still talk to him?
Irene:
Rarely. It was not a pleasant divorce, but are they ever?
Where is your wife?
Peter:
My wife pass out some few years ago when she was going to give birth to my Son. But life is to short to be lonely always. I’m looking for someone who will treat me like a king and I will also treat her like a queen. Share some sweet words together.
Irene:
Why a jewelry shop?
Peter:
That’s my plan and it’s good to make some money from it.
Irene:
Do you know much about jewelry?
Peter:
Yeah and I have that money to open up that business.
Irene:
Soldiers make good money. Especially those with UN contracts.
Peter:
What are you doing now? Can we take our time and get to know more about each other better?
Irene:
Of course we can!

[bware419ers]

Irene:
Is it morning there?
Peter:
Yes it’s 5:45 am here and the weather is so cold
Irene:
Here too!

I went offline for the weekend…

Peter:
Hello how are you doing?
Are you there?
Hello how are you doing?
Irene:
I'm sorry, but my computer went kablooey and I'm borrowing one.
Irene:
Are you there?
Peter:
Yes, I'm here…Sorry about that. I thought you’ve been busy with work. I really missed talking to you.
What are you doing now?
Irene:
No. My computer won't power on at all. So I had to borrow an old laptop from a friend.
I'm so sorry about that
Peter:
Oh, sorry about that…So are you planning to get a new one?
I thought, I have loose you. Lol
Irene:
Yes. I plan on ordering one
Irene:

Peter:
No I’m just relaxing here…I had a long day today. What are you doing now?
Irene:

Peter:
I have been working on some documents for my commander all day…What are you doing now?
Irene:
Yesterday 3:21 PM
Shopping for a new computer but I really don't know much about them.
Peter:
You can get Hp computer
Irene:
What kind is that?
Irene:
I guess you must really be tired.
Peter:
Just go to any computer shop and tell them you want a brand new Hp computer it’s a very nice one

Go give that a try sometime! LOL.

Irene:
Ok. Most of the computer shops closed up during Covid, though.
Peter:
I hope from your place to the computer shop is not far?
Peter:
No I am not tired…Just wanna chat with you more
Irene:
There are no computer shops in this area any more, my dear.
Oh. I didn't think you wanted to chat since you weren't responding or reading.
Peter:
So how are you going to get a new computer for yourself?
Irene:
I don' t know. I may talk to the computer guy at work but he isn't in today.
I guess I could go to the Walmart.
Peter:
Yes that’s would be a good idea…But when are you going to be there?
Irene:
At work or at the Walmart?
Peter:
The Walmart
Irene:
Oh, I don't know. Maybe on my drive home.
There's always so many poor people there, though. Know what I mean?
Peter:
Oh okay but I got to update my phone. Please when you pass there can you get me a card to update it?
Irene:
I don' t know what that means. I just hit the "Ok" button when mine asks for an update.
What kind of phone do you have?
Peter:
I’m using an iPhone and it’s need an update. When you get to the Walmart just tell them you need an iTunes card

Irene:
In about 10 minutes.
Peter:
Oh okay then I will still be awake. What did you grab for lunch today?
Irene:

Peter:

Seems awfully close to the chicken salad Irene had earlier.

Irene:
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am leaving now. Have a good night!

Peter:
Drive safely and please don’t forget to get me the card okay

Peter:
Are you there? When you get the card just scratch it and take a picture of it and send it to me
Irene:
Hey, I'm here. Are you there?
Peter:
Yes, I'm here…I didn’t heard from you again when you left work to home. What happened?
Irene:
Computers were out of stock. They ordered one for me.
Peter:
That’s sound good but I told you to do something for me…Did you remember?
Irene:
Yes. They asked me which model of phone you have.
Peter:
I told you, My phone model is an iPhone. My iCloud is full up and I need to upgrade it to get access to my pics and documents. When you get to the Walmart, just tell them you need an iTunes card $100
Are you going to do that!
??
Irene:
Yes, I told them it was an iphone but that asked which model, not which maker. I said you wanted to upgrade it but they needed to know which one you have right now.
Peter:
Just go in there and tell them you want an iTunes card $100. My phone model is A1921
Tell them you want an iTunes card $100 okay!!


I love when a lad gets impatient.

Irene:
I did say that, but they said you don't need a card, you can just login to your account.
Peter:
They’re not serious…Just go in there and get me the card okay. If they ask you any questions don’t answer them. I really need this card to do this on my phone. Can you go in there right now and get me the card?
Peter:
When you get the card just scratch it and take a picture of it and send it to me right here okay. I need to go now. Have a nice day!
Irene:
I'm at work.
Peter:
When you’re going home from work then you do that
Irene:
Why would I not answer their questions?
That seems rude.
Peter:
I’m facing something here on my phone and it’s not them okay.
When you’re going home from work just pass the Walmart and get me the card
Irene:
What do you mean you are facing something there on your phone?
Peter:

This is what I’m facing on my phone now.
Irene:
Looks like you need to delete some photos.
What is "not them okay?"
Peter:
I can’t delete any photos…Everything I’m here is very important to me now. Are you not going to get me the card to upgrade it?
What’s your mind?
Peter:
Are you going to get me the iTunes card?
Irene:
Well, I can't right now. I am at work.
Peter:
Oh okay…When you’re going home from work I hope you can pass the Walmart and get it for me?
Will you do that for me?
Irene:
It might not be today. I have court and Walmart isn't near there.
Peter:
Oh okay…But when can you do that for me?
I need to go now…Have a nice day at work
Irene:
Oh. I'm sorry we can't chat more.


Later…

Peter:
Why?
Irene:
What do you mean?
Peter:
You said “i’m sorry we can’t chat more” And I said why?
Irene:
I know what you said I just don't know what you meant by "why?"
Irene:
?
Peter:
Never mind…Are you gone to the court?
Irene:
No. In my office.
Irene:
What are you doing?
And can I tell you something strange?
Peter:
Of course you can
I’m on night patrol
Irene:
You are the fourth man to ask me for a gift card today.
Peter:
Really!
So you’re talking other men?
Irene:
Yes. I told you I was.
Peter:
Yeah I remember now…Then I’m not sure we can chat again. I thought you’ve stop talking to them. You can continue and chat with them
Irene:
And then, for whatever reason, when I said I was going to Walmart, four of them, including you, asked me to get them gift cards. That seems a bit odd, don't you think?
You never asked me to stop. I told you I was.
Peter:
But you do like them that’s why you don’t wanna stop talking to them. This sound crazy to me…You can continue to talk to them okay. I show you a prove what I wanted to used it for so maybe if you think I wanna play games with you then you’re lose.
Irene:
You are calling me lose? How dare you? I have only ever been with one man ever and that was my ex-husband. I was with him for 30 years and I am only talking to other men. I am not sexing them. How dare you? I can see you have no respect for women of a certain age.
Peter:
Oh come on!! Haha you sound funny. You’re talking to different people how would I know what you’re talking with them. So if we found each other very interesting, Are you still going to talk to them?
Peter:
If you want us to talk and see if there’s chemistry in, You can stop talking to those people and let focus on each other and build something strong.
Irene:
You can find something interesting in any person.
Peter:
Then you can carry on and chat with them…
Irene:
Why would I not want the opportunity to talk with multiple people right now and see where the chemistry is? I mean, to be fair, this is the first time I have ever had a man ask me to buy them something and now four of you want ME to buy YOU gifts. That's not a courtship. And you called me lose.
Yes, I know I can. I have been.
Peter:
Bye

[bware419ers]

Continuing...

Irene:
And one man even offered to buy me a new computer. It is very clear you do not want to chat me or build anything.
Bye
Peter:
I was just trying your heart…I wanted to get you a pizza as a gift
Irene:
Well that's just about the worst idea I have heard come out of a man's mouth since invention of the reverse vasectomy.
Peter:
Mmmm…Will I don’t even think I can trust you.
Irene:
Yeah, well you thought you should call me lose and that a pizza was a great gift, so you really should not trust your thinking.
Peter:
Mmmm…Well just carry on and chat with your four guys. Have a good luck in there.
Irene:
Yes, I will continue as I have. And as I should. Good luck with your photos.
Irene:
Too bad you act like such a child. Maybe one day you will be wise and not single.

The next day…

Irene:
Thank you for helping me realize you were not interested in me for me.
Peter:
Really is that what you think..?
I really liked you but once you were talking to someone I just didn’t like that
Irene:
I told you from the very beginning I was talking to others. I am newly single and why would I not look at every option available?
Peter:
But it seems you don’t trust me

I love how lads feel the need to build trust, even when no comment about trust has been made. Damn scripts!

Peter:
You can talk to them but I don’t want to waste my time and you will later tell me you are not interested.
Irene:
I am not a future teller, so I can't tell you if I will say that or not. You may feel the same way about me in the future. You obviously felt that way yesterday.
Peter:
Really
Irene:
Yes
Peter:
Do you want to talk to me or not..?
Irene:
Yes, I told you I would.
Are you unhappy?
Peter:
Nope
Peter:
If you want to continue I think you have to stop taking to other guys
Irene:
First you said I can talk to them and now you say I can't.
Are you always so swishy-swashy?
Peter:
Yes
Peter:
Because I deleted my profile because you..

Sure you did…

Irene:
Why would you do that?
Peter:
Because I know I have found the love of my life
Irene:
Tell me more about your wife.
Peter:
My wife’s name was Lisa she was very beautiful, kind and caring she died when she was going to give birth to our second child and she passed
Can you tell me more about your husband..?
Irene:
His name is Charlie and he was a former soldier. He drinks a lot and rides a motorcycle now, doing God knows what. Everywhere he goes, trouble follows. If things are not his way, they are no way. After almost 30 years, I could not take it anymore.
Where was Lisa from?
Peter:
She is from Texas
What about Charlie
Irene:
New Mexico, so you know that right there explains a lot.
Peter:
Yes I understand
What do you want us to do now..?

Irene:
Well, I think we should continue to chat and ask questions to really know each other.
I was hoping you weren't like the other men there, but so far you have been.
I don't want the same thing. I deserve more.
Peter:
I agree with you
Do Roy want to settle down with that special man when you find him..?
Irene:
Who is Roy?
Are you talking to some man named Roy and confusing him with me?
Peter:
From where..?
Irene:
How should I know where he's from? you're the one talking to him.
Is this some Syrian thing, because I really don't swing that way, but understand if you do.
Peter:
I mean do you want to settle down with that special man when you find him..?
It was a typo sorry
Irene:
No, I don't want to settle with any man named Roy. That's not really a manly name.
Peter:
It was a typo
Irene:
I guess I don't understand what you are trying to say. Or to whom you are saying it.
Peter:

I was just asking if you will still down with that special man when you find him
Irene:
As I said, I'm not a future-teller, so I can't really say. Right now, I just want attentions from a man because I haven't had that in so long.
Peter:
Okay
Do you attend church.?
Irene:
Sometimes.
Peter:
Do you believe in God.?
Irene:
I'm not an overly religious person. Charlie made me hate Church some.
Well, something has to explain the mysteries of the universe, right?
Peter:
Yeah
What did he do..?
Irene:
Well, he was in the military and then he was a consultant.
That's what his work still is.
Peter:
Oh, okay
Irene:
But I was never allowed to ask questions, so...
Peter:
Sometimes you won’t understand everything about God
Irene:
How could anybody ever understand everything about god. They aren't meant to, right?
Peter:
Yes
What type of music do you listen?
Irene:
I like stuff from the 80s and 90s. You?
Peter:
I listen to all types of music, I like R& B old school stuff, I'm a big Patti Labelle fan, don't listen to heavy rock, heavy country or Rap
Are you a night or morning person?
Irene:
Either, really.
Peter:
Yes
Have you gotten your computer..?
Irene:
No, not yet!
Peter:
Oh okay
But you can login your account on your phone..
Irene:
They said they would call when they are back in stock.
Peter:
Oh okay, that's cool
Irene:
I do not do personal stuff on my phone. It's a work phone and EVERYTHING gets recorded.
Peter:
Oh okay that’s okay
Irene:
Voice calls. Internet searches. Passwords. All of that. My law firm has to record it all and it gets reviewed by the security team so there is no way I'm doing something personal like fish on my phone.
Peter:
I really understand you
Do you care to share pictures with me..?
Irene:
No, thank you.
Peter:
Why..??
Irene:
I have explained this twice before. Now, you want me to explain it a third time?
Peter:
Whats your past love life like?
Irene:
What do you mean?
Peter:
I mean about your past love
Irene:
Yes, I know what you wrote, but what do you mean what was it like? I was married for almost 30 years to the same mean, hateful, controlling man.
He is the only man I was ever with
Peter:
Oh okay
Irene:
What about you?
Peter:
Lisa is the only woman I loved and she loves me too
Would you say you love what you do for a living?
Irene:
Well, that is good
Absolutely love it. And I'm really, really good at it. It is my world.
Ok. I have to head to Court now.

[Kitty La Gore]

New Mexico, so you know that right there explains a lot.

[Myon359]

Having relatives in that state, I can safely say that Charlie is typical of the residents of the area.

[Avalar]

New Mexico, so you know that right there explains a lot.

[bware419ers]

Disclaimer: I don't think I've ever met someone from New Mexico, so I'm not really sure what it explains. I left it open for interpretation!

I would really like to build Charlie's backstory, but Peter just isn't working with me here as he wants that damn iTunes card!

Peter:
I love what I do not only for the salary aspect only but because its also for a living.Yes my job pays well and I love been in the Army.
Okay take care of yourself
Text me when you want to talk

You can’t make this slop up, people!


Irene:
Thank you. You must really love your job and the money you make with the UN Contract. It's nice that you use some of that for candies and cookies.
Peter:
Okay
Irene:
Okay
Peter:
Drive safe
Irene:
I have a driver.
Peter:
Then take care
Irene:
You, too
Peter:
I will

Boring, huh?

The next day…

Peter:
Hello good morning dear
Irene:
Hello, how are you?
Peter:
I’m doing good
What about you..?
Irene:
I'm fine, thanks
Peter:
How was your night
Irene:
I slept well and you?
Peter:
Good but I was really thinking about you
Irene:
Oh? What do you mean?
Peter:
If you’re okay
Irene:
Yes, of course. Why would I not be?
Peter:
Okay goodv
How did your case went yesterday?
Irene:
Good, I think. We have to wait for the judge to deliberate with the jury.
Peter:
I hope you are going to win lol
What are your plans for today?
Irene:
Working! Yours?
Peter:
I’m off today
Irene:
Wow! What are your plans for today?
Peter:
I will be resting today
No plans for today
Do you like to cook..?
Irene:
Are night patrols tiring?
Sometimes, but it's really hard to cook for one person.
How are your meals over there?
Peter:
I will cook for you when I come home
Irene:
What is your favorite thing to cook?
Peter:
Is pretty good but we are still managing
Peter:
I like to cook Reuben sandwich

I’m not sure who ever taught the lad about this, but I literally laughed out loud when he wrote this. Has anyone ever cooked a Reuben sandwich at home? Ever? I mean, maybe, back in the 20th century, put who keeps the ingredients handy?

Peter:
What about you..?
Irene:
I do not like sauerkraut, to be honest.
Peter:
I see
What do you like to cook
Irene:
Spaghetti noodles with homemade sauce
Peter:
Yummy
Irene:
My grilled BLT is really good too as I use some secret ingredients to make it even more scrumdillyicious!
LOL
Peter:
LOL
I believe that the most important 'key' to a successful relationship would have to be 'trust'. I believe that with trust, love will follow. However, what I have noticed is that many people think trust, or expect that trust is to be earned by the other person, when in all actuality it is something that comes from within yourself.

Oh geez! Here we go with the copy and paste. That paragraph is all over the internet.

Irene:
Interesting.
Peter:
You just have to chalk it up to experience and move on. Nothing is worth closing your heart. Nothing is worth living in a world of fearing what bad 'may' come to you. Without trust, you close your heart to the happiness and joy that true love brings.

I love that it has nothing to do with Reubens or cooking. But, here comes the programming to make Irene trust him.

Irene:
Chalk what up to experience?
Peter:
I mean you must trust me in order to love you
Irene:
How is that?
You might want to reread what you wrote, because it really doesn't make sense.
Peter:
Do you trust me ..?
Irene:
Trust is established with time. It's not something that is conjured out of thin air.
Do you disagree?
Peter:
I agree with you
Irene:
Ok
Peter:
What are you doing now..?
Irene:
Having lunch.
Peter:
Okay can I come and join you..?
Irene:
Are you back in Indiana?
Peter:
Nope I wanted to fly to you
Irene:
Today? How long would it take, because my lunch is only 30 minutes.
Peter:
Lol is going to take me about 13 hours
Irene:
Oh.
Why would you get my hopes up like that?
Peter:
I will be home soon
Sorry about that
Irene:
So, when will you be home so you can take me out for dinner?
Peter:
I have about 6 weeks from now
Irene:
Oh. That's a really long time.
Peter:
Really
Irene:
That's a couple of holidays, too.
Peter:
Okay

Time to poke him a bit.

Irene:
Hopefully you can keep me entertained. It would also be unfair of you to ask me to NOT go on dates with other men.
Peter:
That means you are not interested
Irene:
Why do you say that?
I don't think you should put words in my mouth or try to interpret my thoughts. That's a really bad habit and reminds me of Charlie. I don't like it.
Peter:
Sorry about that
Irene:
I'm sorry, too

ETA: Now making this exclusively Peter-centric. Title changed to reflect this.

[bware419ers]

Peter:
Hello good morning
Irene:
Hi, how are you?
Peter:
I’m doing good and you.?.
Irene:
Superman does good, but I'm great! How was your night?
Peter:
It was wonderful and yours ?
Irene:
I slept well. A few months ago I bought a new mattress/bed and it has made a world of difference.
Peter:
Oh okay that sounds good
Irene:
Yes. It's one of the adjustable beds and is so comforting. What are you doing now?
Peter:
I’m working on some documents
Irene:
For what?
Peter:
For my commander
Irene:
Oh, okay. Do you like doing that?
Peter:
Yes I do
What are your plans for today..?
Irene:
Work, then I will go to my sister's for dinner tonight.
Peter:
I wish I could join you
Irene:
Some day.
But, I would not introduce you to my family until you had taken me on several dates.
Peter:
Why is there any reason..?
Irene:
That is just the polite thing to do .
Peter:
I know
What are you getting me on n my birthday..?
Irene:
Not sure. I guess it would depend when it is and what you got me.
Peter:
My birthday is on 27th of this month
Irene:
Really? Mine is on Thanksgiving this year! I can't believe they are that close! How old will you be?
Peter:
I will be 56
What about you..?
Irene:
Well, a woman never tells her age, but I am younger.
What will you do for Thanksgiving over there?
Peter:
Haha
What are you getting me on my birthday..?
I wish I could get some care package so that I can share something with my friends and the kids here
What about you..?
Irene:
Where would someone send you a care package?
I'll go to my sister's for Thanksgiving and we'll celebrate my birthday as well. It will be a glorious embarrassment.
Peter:
Yes I wish I wi be there with you
I have to ask my commander about that
Why do you want to send me a care package?
Irene:
What do you have to ask your commander?
Peter:
About where to receive the care package
?
Irene:
You don't know where you are?
Peter:
I’m in Syria but but it depends on the diplomat
Due to security reasons the diplomat is the one to give you the address
Irene:
What's the address of the orphanage? I'll just send it there.
Peter:
Okay I will send it to you
Irene:
Thanks! Maybe you'll get a surprise for your birthday!
Peter:
You’re welcome
What are you doing now..?
Irene:
Wrapping up work, then going to the grocers.
Peter:
Okay

[bware419ers]

Friday
Peter:
Do you want us to talk.,?

Saturday
Peter:
Hello dear how are you doing today?

Monday
Irene:
I'm doing great! How are you? Was it a good weekend for you?
Peter:
I’m doing good I had a good weekend what about you..?
Irene:
I did ! Great family time!
Peter:
Wow that’s awesome
I was really worried about you
Irene:
Why?
Peter:
Because I didn’t hear from during the weekend
Irene:
Oh! I don't have a laptop yet so I don't have a computer at home to chat.
I thought you knew that.
Peter:
Yes I know about that
My commander said when you are ready to send the package let me know so that I can send you the address
Irene:
Ok! Go ahead and send the info so I can get it prepared!
Peter:
What information are you talking about..?

Oh FFS.

Irene:
The info for the address silly ! LOL!
Peter:
LOL… he said when you are ready send me a picture of the items and he will send you the address



Irene:
Oh.
Peter:
Why
Irene:
That kind of takes away the surprise
Peter:
I know but due to some security reasons that’s why
Irene:
Can maybe you give me his email address n it can still be a surprise for you?
Peter:
I will try and talk to him about that
How is your day going..?
Irene:
You can't just give me his email address?
Today is really busy. I have a client that I just can't figure out to help him. He was arrested outside the US and then extradited here and is facing all kinds of charges from international espionage to hacking to money laundering and all kinds of electronic money redeliverance.
Sorry. I shouldn't talk about work
It's just a stressful high dollar case for my firm and we need to make sure he can still pay.
Lots of stress today.
Irene:
Ok. I guess you're busy too. I need to go figure this out then.
Peter:
33 minutes later…
Oh okay that’s very bad going through all this challenges are very difficult to win this case
He just gave me his email address
[email protected]
That’s my commander’s email address
Irene:
Ok
Peter:
Okay have you contact him ?
Irene:
No. Trying to help this client with a problem.
Peter:
Okay
Peter:
Lemme know when you text him
Irene:
Ok

The Next Day.
Irene:
Good morning.
Peter:
Good morning dear
How are you doing today..?
Irene:
I'm good! And you?
Peter:
I’m doing good but I was just busy
Irene:
Same. I'm trying to figure out banking in Africa now. It's crazy.
Peter:
Is it about your client issue..?
Irene:
Yes.
Peter:
That’s so bad babe
Irene:
This has been a big headache and I know nothing about Africa.
Peter:
Which part of Africa?
Irene:
I'm trying to learn.
Peter:
Can I help?
Irene:
Several different countries throughout Africa.
Peter:
Oh my God!
Irene:
How can you help? I know! Right?
Peter:
Maybe I can help if you tell me what you are looking for
Irene:
Well I shouldn't really say this and I will have to talk in generalities.
I can trust you right? You won't say anything?
Peter:
Yes course
You can trust me
Irene:
Well my client has all of his money in banks in several different African countries. He also has bearer bonds secreted away in several others. I'm trying to figure out how to get that money here into the US.
One: it is not like I can just up and travel to Africa and get it (nor can my jailed client).
Two: there are limits to sending money to bank accounts or the government and UN will seize it.
Three: our law firm can only accept payment from American bank accounts.
So unless this cash and bearer bonds are retrieved and I figure out how to find a bunch of bank accounts in the US to accept transfers of $9,999, my client is stuck in jail and we can't hire expert defense witnesses and my firm might even fire me.
I'm all worked up and I don't know how a UN soldier in Syria could be of any help.
Peter:
Oh my God! That’s a lot of money there and do you know some of the bank names?
Irene:
Not yet. I know I have to look at <several African countries>, and a couple other countries. I'm trying to figure it all out.
Peter:
I know some banks in Ghana
Irene:
How is that?
Peter:
Because a friend of mine works in Ghana
Irene:
Ok. I'm not sure if that country has the cash and bearer bonds or needs money sent out from there. See the issue isn't so much knowing the bank’s names, but having accounts that can receive money from there or having someone to go and pick up the cash and bearer bonds from where my client has them stashed. And I know nobody in Africa to go pick them up and I don't know someone with 200 different American bank accounts to receive transfers it's just a mess I have to figure out. I appreciate your offer though!
That was so super kind of you.
Peter:
Oh okay babe
I know someone who can pick up the money if you want
Irene:
What do you mean?
Peter:
I have a friend there who can receive the money and send it to you
Irene:
You mean a friend here in Indiana who can receive it?
Peter:
Yes and other one in Ghana
Irene:
I don't need anyone in Ghana to receive money. It is already there.
I'm trying to figure out how to get it out.
Peter:
Okay what about the one in Indiana
Irene:
Well, the accounts don't even have to be in Indiana.
Do you trust him and do they have enough accounts?
Peter:
Okay
Yes I do trust him a lot
Irene:
How many accounts do you think he has?
And they could receive money.
Peter:
I have to talk to him and get back to you
Irene:
Then they would have to write a check to me or the law firm.
Well let me think on this some. Sorry to bother you with my work.

[bware419ers]

Irene reached out to The Commander via email.

To whom it may concern,

I am attempting to send a package to Mr. Peter who is contracted with the UN. He said you can give me an address where I can send a surprise birthday gift for him. Could you help me with an address?

Regards,

Irene

Sorry for the late reply, yes I can get you the address but I have to know what you are sending him first thank you for the message..
Hope to hear from you soon.
The Commander

I want to surprise him for his birthday and send him a new, updated phone, and maybe a book or two of poetry. Is that ok? Please do not tell him as I would like it to be a surprise.

Okay I won’t tell him about it but lemme when you are ready to send it

I would like to send it tonight or tomorrow, but I need an address.

Send me pictures of the items first

I don't have them with me. I'm at work. Listen, that's fine. If you don't want to help me, then just forget about it. I'll just give the gifts to Peter when I get home. It's very obvious you do not want to help someone who works so hard for you.

I understand. But due to security reasons that’s why some people people have been send a lot of stuffs that are really risky I hope you understand

Since you obviously do not trust me or Peter, just forget about it. You're just like all Commanders, so why don't you go get drunk and beat on some helpless woman to make yourself feel like a man.

Like I said just lemme know when you are ready to send it so that I will send the address

And I already told you I was ready, but you are refusing and just lying to me and making things so it all about you, you, you, so just forget about it, like I already said.

I will send it to you in the evening

I thought it was already evening over there. I guess Commanders only know how to lie to women.

Name: Frankie C

+94176XXXXXXXX

It’s Germany and the town’s name is 1XXXX Rüdersdorf bei Berlin

What is this?

This is the address

I told you Commanders could not be honest with women. I tried to call +94176XXXXXXXX
and the country code isn't for Syria or Germany.

Really you can send the things to him that is his address okay

Trust me you can tell Peter about it

Oh, you want me to tell him you are a liar and thief and woman hater?

If you are not comfortable stop talking about it

[bware419ers]

Meanwhile, I try to plan some stuff for the future and create some options. Some of this takes place before the exchanges with “The Commander,” above.

Irene:
Are you there?
Peter:
Hello I’m here
Irene:
How has your day been?
Peter:
I was good and how is yours going..?
Irene:
Trying to not think about work.
Peter:
Okay have you heard from my commander
Irene:
I have not.
Peter:
Okay why

Really?

Irene:
Geez. I don't know. Have you asked him?
Maybe you can see why he hasn't replied.
Peter:
Nope I haven’t
Irene:
He is your military commander?
Peter:
Yes he is
Irene:
Figures. He's probably untrustworthy and a big old butthole who has no respect for women.
Peter:
My commander?
Irene:
Yes.
Peter:
Why did you say that
Irene:
Charlie was a Commander and he was that exact way. He used to tell my brother he wouldn't make a pimple on a commander's ass and he was too busy for birthdays.
I thought I would hear back so I could surprise you, but your commander doesn't care like Charlie didn't.

Isn’t Charlie handy?

Peter:
Come on my commander is not like that trust me
Irene:
Charlie hated dogs and children, but boy he loves his military and commanding people. Once, he stepped on a turtle to see if he could crush his shell.
And when he drank, he was even worse.
Peter:
LOL
Irene:
Well it certainly was not funny if you had to witness it.
Peter:
That will be very interesting
Irene:
You do not want to meet him. He is not a nice man.
Peter:
Really
Irene:
Yes. When I got out of line, he would beat me.
Peter:
That’s very bad how you lay your hands on a woman
Irene:
No, I didn't do it. Charlie laid them on me.
Peter:
That’s very bad
Irene:
The bones have healed and you can't really see any scars. He took care to make sure it looked like an accident. So don't think I'm broken goods.
It's kind of why I really want to prove myself as a lawyer and do good work. To be independent of him. To recover.
Peter:
Really
Okay
Irene:
Thank you. I am glad it’s ok with you.
Peter:
So are you going to contact him..?
Irene:
Charlie? No. I absolutely never contact him.
It doesn't keep him from coming by the house though; which I hate.
Peter:
Why
I see
Irene:
What do you mean?
Peter:
So when are you going to contact my commander
Irene:
I already did.
I thought that is what you were asking.
Peter:
Who ..?
Irene:
Who what?
Peter:
I mean have you contact my commander already.?

Have you ever noticed how lads ask the dumbest questions about the simplest things? It’s almost like there is no common sense there, at all.

Irene:
Yes. I thought you understood that.
That is why I said he's just like Charlie beause he refused to respond and this means he's just another commander who doesn't care about his people (you) or women (me).
Peter:
Really

Then I went offline, because he was giving me a headach.
The next day:

Peter:

From that first day we met and the first word to said to me as sure that my life was about to turn around because I fell in love instantly.

I hate copy pasta and when lads send videos. Let’s see if we can ruin it for him…

Irene:
Wow. That's a lot to take in first thing in the morning.
Peter:
Good morning
How are you doing today..?
Irene:
I'm ok. How are you?
Peter:
I’m doing good
How was your night..?
Irene:
Not good.
How was yours?
Peter:
Why?
Irene:
This case has me sleepless and worried.
Peter:
That’s very bad
Irene:
I know
Peter:
I don’t want you to get worried okay
Irene:
Yeah l I am. This is my income. My job. And nothing is going right today. I think I'm just going to go work and concentrate on figuring this out.
Peter:
That's a good plan
Irene:
Ok. Have a good day.

But, the lad insisted…

Peter:
I hope you like the song I sent you this morning..?
Irene:
Not. Really. Michael Bolton is Charlie's favorite singer it just reminds me of him and all of our bad days. He would make me ride behind him on his motorcycle and would blast that music as loud as he could. It's bad memories and other things are creating bad memories of him and nothing is really going right for me today and you said I should just go and work I am going to listen to you and do just that.

The “other things…creating bad memories” refers to the exchanges with The Commander.

Peter:
I’m really sorry about that
Have you heard from my commander..?
Irene:
Can we not talk about your commander? I've already had enough reminders about Charlie this morning don't you think?
Peter:
I know honey
No matter what has happened. No matter what you’ve done. No matter what you will do. I will always love you.
Irene:
What is that supposed to mean? I have done nothing wrong.
Peter:
My love for you is undoubtedly the only thing that will never end. You make me feel the best I’ve ever felt I’ll forever treasure it. You make my dreams come true and are the best thing God has ever given me. I will always love you.
Irene:
That is sweet, but it really doesn't help me with this case or take my mind off of Charlie.
Peter:
Why are you still thinking about him
Irene:
Well, someone sent me a video of his favorite singer and I've just dealt with some stuff this morning that reminded me of how he acts.
Peter:
Sorry about that I didn’t know
Irene:
I'm sure it will be fine, eventually.
Peter:
Yes i hope so
Irene:
Sorry again, about talking so much about work yesterday. I should not do that.
Peter:
Is okay I wanted to help you
Irene:
I'm not sure you could though unless you know someone in Africa who will go searching around for hidden money or someone here in the US who would willingly accept to receive money. I'll probably have to hire out professional help for both.
Peter:
I know someone who can receive the money there



Irene:
Where?
Peter:
US
What are you doing now..?
Irene:
Reading about different companies that might be able to help.
Peter:
Oh okay then I think I have to give you some time to work
Irene:
I don't think one individual would have all the bank accounts needed. And that still leaves someone to trace and pick up the bonds and cash in the other countries.
Peter:
Okay
Irene:
Am I right?
Peter:
Yes you are
Irene:
Well, sorry you couldn't help, even a little.
Peter:
It's okay
Irene:
Yeah. Don't ever become a criminal defense attorney. LOL.
Peter:
LOL
