Topic: Dissecting The Stupid Scam E-Mail | |
---|---|
I just set up a profile on a free site yesterday, and no sooner did the
smoke clear from the USB ports when this message showed up. I am going to break this down, line by line, and then offer a response, in order to prove how really bored I am. =========================================== Subject: Hi there! Body: Hello. I never know what to say in these things! Not a real pro here!!! Then wouldn't it make more sense to think about what you want to say first? And then come up with something a little better than what you actually wrote? Like I haven't seen "I never know what to say" four billion times! =========================================== I'm looking for a regular guy who enjoys the simpler things in life, for instance, do you like snuggling in front of the TV? No, I hate that. I'm allergic to it. In fact, my doctor told me if I do it ONE MORE TIME (or pet a dog, or take a long walk on the beach), I will die instantaneously. =========================================== As for myself, I enjoy many things. I'm very adventurous and love to experiment. Do you have a lab and some cadavers in the basement? =========================================== I have a very hard job so I love to chill out. Does your job involve any kind of writing, or thinking? In that case, I can see why it's so hard. =========================================== I often go to the movies and go relaxing over a hot cup of coffee. I'm not looking for anything very specific right now. I would like to start off with something rather casual. How about a book on "Creative Writing"? That casual enough for you? Because I think you've got "Cliches For Dummies" memorized. =========================================== Btw, please don't respond directly to my message. I'm using a friend's profile account because I'm not a paying member here. So send your response to my email address instead: ***************** at yahoo.. Hun, it's a FREE SITE. NOBODY is a paying member there. And you HAVE a profile on the site! (By the way, that picture is not you, unless your "hard job" also involves doing skin cream commercials on TV.) Stupid, stupid, stupid..... The worst part is, she's not even from Russia (as far as I can tell) -- claims to be right here in my town! I think I'm gonna have to pass on this one.... |

sarcastic nature...lol... |

Oh, I forgot to mention -- I took a look st her profile on that site,
and she has 4 pictures up. 4 of the SAME picture. And it's someone I saw on a commercial. I bet this girl doesn't even KNOW Stefan Martinovich. Has he ever even BEEN in a skin cream commercial? |

from playboy and all have the same story!!! |

Alex -- I looked outside -- there's nothing out there but cows and pigs.
And some of them may be Russian. I better go say Hi to Comrade Porkovich. |

"I love quiet evenings at home with a bottle of fine wine." "No, I'm
not going to sleep with you." "And once more, last time I walked on the beach in the moonlight, I cut my foot on a piece of glass and had to go to the emergency room. Cost me $500. Your soul mate, Sushi" |

HIM: You are such a beautiful woman. ME: Get
outta here before I pull the pin outta this genade! She: I am a vivacious woman. He: Take a valium and call me when when you stop bouncing off the walls. (Courtesy of a male friend who HATES the word VIVACIOUS). |

These really are a problem. I keep getting one from guys, obviously scam
mails, whose wives supposedly died in car wrecks. I can see people being widowed, but why the rush to assure us the spouse is really, really, truly dead, by explaining the cause? Oh, okay. It must be true. |
|
|
|
Lex, maybe you should write back to them and offer to pay for a
membership for them on this site. |
|
|
|
I don't know if I can afford it, especially if she intends to send out a
LOT of these e-mails! |
