Pwned.
Many of you know that I take a lot of time talking to people on Myspace.com. Yes, this is contrary to the hunky in-real-life person that I am, but there are times when its gems like this show up that make it all worth it...
So.. I received this message from this person:
Hello how are you doin i was scrollling thru and ur profile got my attention ,i would love to get to know more abt you.i am a single lady presently in africa for a business trip,i am caring,loving and understanding looking for a man that will treat me like the real lady i am.you can chat with me on my yahoo,my yahoo id is krestedbeauty_26 hope to hear frm you soon.
That'd be krestedbeauty_26@yahoo.com
So I IMed her. I ended up speaking to her for two days. The first day was your regular chit-chat with a new online person. The odd thing was that she kept wanting to meet. The untrusting nature in me shrugged this off quite a bit.
Anyway, this morning, I had a chat with her. This is the conversation:
knightpyre: hi

knightpyre: how are you
krestedbeauty_26: am fine and u?
knightpyre: good looking for a good spot to slip in a nap

knightpyre: sorry, i aint dealing with any kind of cash with a stranger over the internet
knightpyre: and guess what
knightpyre: i happen to run a high traffic website with PLENTY of readers
knightpyre: time to change screennames
Well.. i have readers, but I dunno about plenty, but she'll get the idea. Feel free to IM her. I'm sure "she'd" love the attention.
Posted by sagien at November 14, 2005 09:04 AMI find it more humorous that you would engage in such a lengthy discussion with someone like that.
seems pretty desperate and pitiful to me.
Why don't you put that effort into more posts?

Posted by: mincus at November 14, 2005 10:12 AMYes. That. Or, sagien will again embark on his classic "guess what?/thats what!" campaign.
Or, wait... did that already start?

Posted by: Dino at November 14, 2005 04:23 PMI recently read, but cannot remember where, that this whole scammy biz is actually the third biggest "industry" in Nigeria. I don't know if I buy it, but its gotta be in the top ten.
