Wanting to be polite I answered back to inform him I wasn't available. He replied requesting still that he hoped I would agree to be his friend. I won't be answering back this time.
Let's just be careful and stay safe ladies.

Hello Jeri, So good to hear from you, i have actually been looking out for your response and i must let you know that you have put a smile on my face by writing to me now. I came across your profile, somehow on the right hand side of my page (people you may know) and i got attracted and that was how i sent you a message. we don't have friends in common. I'm still very much interested in you and i believe there is no harm in trying. I am a Civil Engineer by profession and i live in Austin, Texas. I'm a widowed and a father to a lovely daughter. I must let you know that i die slowly of loneliness. I desire a real woman in my life to be a friend, companion, soul mate, someone i could share my thoughts, ideas, knowledge and feelings with. I just want to love and be loved again. this will make me complete and happy again. Tell me more about you. Are you actually single? do you have kids? what are you doing for a living? Are you open to a relationship now, i hope to hear from you soon. Larry.

This man contacted me, a single woman... he said he 'found me interesting' and wanted to know me better, he is an engineer and lives in Austin, Texas. There are a zillion women on Facebook, why me?
I plan to contact Face Book. I found this site doing a google search. I want to thank the person who reported this earlier, there are a lot of vulnerable out there!!
Scam EmailThis is the message I received on FaceBook via personal message from Larry Bettino. When you go to his facebook, he has no friends and this page was started 3 days ago?? As his user name per facebook, it gives his last name as \"Crescenzo\"
