Hi Daisy,
Have you spoken with this guy Michael Cole on the phone? Is he also James Cole supposedly an Australian from Melbourne who has grown up in Russia. I've spoken on the phone with him and the accent doesn't sound right for someone who spent such a long time in Russia, yet it doesn't sound Nigerian either. James' supposed to be a self employed civil engineer who is working in Leeds England overseeing the building of bridges. He's meant to be flying back to Australia in a few weeks and meeting up with me. He sent me 4 neat pics and he looks to be a very nice person. He is according to his info and photos, a caucasion, 6ft tall and well built. He supposedly lost his wife and parents in a car accident 2 years ago after being married for 24 years. He seems lovely . . . almost too good to be true. He supposedly has a 24 year old son in Brooklyn New York and is 51 years old and a God Fearing Christian. He is very flattering and sweet and seems sincere . . . but the flattery seems too extreme to be genuine. He has asked a lot of questions about me and now has a lot of extraneous details about me, but when I really look at it, I know very little about him, For someone who is meant to be God fearing, he moves very fast and doesn't talk about God much. For anyone who has a faith as a central part of their life it is very out of character. Something else that rang alarm bells is this . . . From memory, Civil Engineers have to be registered and I can't find him registered in Melbourne Australia where he is supposedly from. He should also have a wensite if he is Selfemployed and yet nothing came up on a google search. I am of Russian Descent and I asked him what my name meant since he supposedly lived in Russia until he was 20. My name is a very familiar and somewhat infamous/well known name in Russia and he could not tell me what it meant. I found that odd.
Can you or anyone else shed light on this man? Photo is attached to Yahoo account jamescole010101@yahoo.com on the messenger service.
Thanks for the info Daisy
Could anyone else that knows about this man post too. Thanks
