Contacted by Pak. Man

Submitted by Ruth (United States), Jan 22, 2017 at 14:59

I am a 70 yr. old American woman who was recently contacted on Facebook by a 25 yr old Pakistani man who calls me "Mom." He said he is Christian and just wants friendship. I cannot understand why he would befriend a woman of my age or if he is sincere or up to no good. Of course, he appears to be genuine and caring and he has not asked for or insinuated that he needs anything. But I am suspicious. Your thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
