Anyone tried it?
You know those silly spam type emails you always get? Anyone ever replied? I have to admit to a new hobby i've recently started and it's hilarious!
I'm currently starting a romance with a guy from Scotland (yeah right) who just so happens to be currently in south africa (get away, who'd have thunk it?) for the world cup.
I'm gleefully and sadistically having a blast. He so far hasn't gone beyond confessing his love for me, well im loaded as im living off my late husbands inheritance- what's not to love? He hasn't, as yet, got round to asking me for money.
Yes im probably going to go to hell for it, but this is awesome fun, will keep you all updated ;-)

I know Greedy. But people genuinely do fall for it. THe stupid lads go for a "money ask" after only a few weeks. The clever ones are in for the long haul and will spend months cultivating their victim. The trouble is, if you meet someone on a dating site, they send you pics, you start emailing and then you have telephone calls etc but all with a plausible excuse as to why he can't come over at the moment people DO fall for it. They do fall in love. Lads are a bit clever and go for the ones who appear most vulnerable. If you write a dating profile which smacks of lonely and desperate, that is guaranteed to get more lad hits than one of a confident, attractive type.
My sis in law is currently being scammed. (Although it is being "dealt with"). She is lonely, vulnerable and extraordinarily naive but what doesn't help is that her brother (my BF) and her best friend both met their partners on the internet so she is hopelessly in love!!

crazylegs- my heart bleeds for them it really does. I have somewhere, a copy of several months work by one particular nasty scammer. His "victim" said that they could send X amount of money to them or buy desperatly needed medical care for a child, what were they to do? Guess which option the scammer said he should do. No sorry, i don't care how poor they are- they're scum, and as such I'm piling on the pressure to one of them.
CD- if you ever do get up the energy, i highly reccommend it!
Damn, Martine never did topless? Well he's plum out of luck on those then isn't he?

If they are that damn hungry, they should spend the money they have on feeding their family - NOT on buying time in an internet cafe. The more successful ones have several houses and big flash cars. Whichever way you look at it, they are crooks. Although 419 seemingly originated in Nigeria (it was called 419 from the Nigerian Penal code), there are scammers all over the place - I've seen people from Canada, US, France, the UK (yes, really), Russia, Malaysia. Plus those that are able to communicate in English are the better educated ones!!
