Scam contents	1/30/23 Hi ***** ***, Hope you're doing well. Just wanted to wish you a happy season and follow up on the note I sent you. Did you receive it? If not, please check your Junk/Spam folder. No worries if you can't respond, I'm not a stalker and neither will I write to you again. Be well, Ben 2/1/23 Hello ****, How're you doing today? I guess that you're having a lovely day. I'm happy you responded to my email. I.m so sorry for responding so late to your email. I got so busy with work. I did not join LinkedIn for personal relationships but professional ones. Neither did I join LinkedIn to solicit a relationship. I wish I had a better option of reaching out to you. Sorry I had to contact you off LinkedIn. I want you to know that it took me days to ponder whether to contact you or not, knowing that LinkedIn is not a dating site. So sorry that I infringed on your privacy, but it was not my intention to do so. Have never met you before. I searched for an old colleague's contact details, and I wanted him to join the project I was working on. I don't want to waste much time, so I need to access his email and contact phone number without being connected. So I registered as a premium member. So in the process of searching for his contact details, your profile pops up. I decided to send you a private email to express how I feel about you. With these explanations I stated above, you rest assured that I'm not a stalker. I'm trying to establish good communication with you, enabling us to know more about each other. I"m ready to relocate to any part of this world to meet a potential partner. Being single for a long time is a big challenge and so draining at the same time. I'm very close to my retirement from work. Retiring and still single, someone could die of boredom. There is nothing creepy about this. I'm only trying to get to know you and get acquainted with you. I am single, but that doesn't mean I do this to all the ladies I see. I am not desperately searching but contacting you wasn't planned. All I seek and hope to achieve by contacting you is your hand of friendship. I want to know you. Contacting you is personal and not professional. I would be glad to allow us to get to know each other better. I will share more about myself in my following email if you are interested in getting to know me better and giving me the opportunity. My Names are Benjamin Marcus, an Israeli citizen. I presently reside and work at San Pedro Bay in Los Angeles in the state of California. I'm self-employed. I work with an international logistics company. I'm sorry, I wish I had more time to respond in detail. I have been up to my ears on deadlines these days and am not done yet. I need to get something out tomorrow by noon. I will write you a detailed email pretty soon to share more about myself. Thank you for your time and understanding. Do have a nice day and a lovely day ahead. My warmest regards, Ben.
Comment / Review	My personal email address is not on Linkedin so I am not sure how he got my email address. And he does not contact me on Linkedin like someone else would try to do. This is very odd and weird.
