Be VERY careful of what ends up in your PM in this site. Sometimes you'll get mail that compliments you and offers friendship. Something that just may sound too good to be true! Beware!! ! Scam artists are very aware of what people in our community want and are more than willing to offer it in exchange for our exploitation. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't.


Wait just a second! Are you trying to tell me that the Nigerian prince I just gave my bank account info to was trying to scam me? That's nonsense, he just needs a couple thousand dollars to reclaim his kingdom, then he's going to pay me back 10-fold in a few days...you wait and see!


:lol:

Hi I am janet,( [email protected])
I saw your profile , and i was deeply moved.I think that you are a very interesting person.So I decided to use the chance to get to know you.i dont think that the age appearance is so important. The most important is what is inside you and how do you feel about the life.I know this life from many sides and I am rather mature already to know how to make a man happy.You can contact me in my private email address ( [email protected] )I think we should use every chance to find our happiness. and I am contacting you for obvious reason which you will understand.i am sending this mail just to know if this profile address is OK,reply me so that i will send my photo and more details to you,and i have a very important thing to tell you, i still hope for your reply,(justinjanet47/AT/yahoo.com)
have a pleasant day,
janet


Yeah! Tell me about it! "Deeply moved" There is F'n NADA in my profile.

I'm amazed that Janet was "deeply moved" by my profile. The only thing that my profile says is that I'm a 24-year-old male Aucklander with Asperger's syndrome who likes "Mathematics, Philosophy, Crosswords". I guess it doesn't take much to deeply move some people. :)

I needed the warning because I have never gotten any PMs like before & I have never gotten a single spam email before either. These scammers are stupider than than they think the people they are trying to con are by wasting their time coming up with crap noone would fall far. They would be aLOT more successful if they put that effort into actually getting a real job
