ok got this email via myspace email:

Quote:

Hello handsome! I hope you'll say yes... I'm just chillin' I hope I'm not being too forward but are you dating anyone? I'm showing my friend the site and she REALLY likes your profile. She asked me to get in touch with you since she's not registred here. If you want to meet a very cute woman, here's her email: XXXXXXXXXXXX. Don't be very shy! If we were not straight, I'd be making out with her! LOL! BTW

So I thought what the hell, lets see what happens if I email so I did.

And got this back:

Hi XXXXXXXX,
So my friend wrote to you for me, huh? she's has more balls than me! I can be so shy at times. But I thought you were cute so I'm not mad at her for trying to hook me up. Man, we have known each other forever now and sometimes I think she gets a kick out of making a fool of me, whata bitch haha jk but anyways... more about me:

I am 24, like to travel alot. I have lived all over the place, here (the states), Hong Kong, etc but now I'm in the UK. Right now though I am in the states just visiting family and friends, I go back in a few days. I am looking for someone to have some fun with over there, I dont know too many people in the UK and with work its been impossible to go out and meet people. I hope this doesnt sound too bold but you think when I get back you would be interested in meeting up for coffee or something? You probably want to know what I look like first tho ;P right?! lol. Since I don't have a myspace account, (I've seen what it does to people and I don't have that kind of free time on my hands.. LOL) this is all I have for now http://freewebpagecentral.com/sarahshomepage You can learn some more about me on there too!

Now a few bells rang when 1st she said was back in USA (she's gonna ask for money to get back to the UK) and the link to her profile, my god this girl is hot and all seems to go to be true.

what do you guys think

Scam. Very typical story.

I'm not sure it's a scam so much as spam packaged with pictures of a really cute gal.

There is a link claiming it's a scam here:
http://taint.org/2006/01/20/220239a.html

But I don't think it's a scam like we normally deal with in this forum. I could be wrong, though.

edit to add: I'm fairly certain that if you run the URL through something like Intellitamper you will find many, many pages named for 'other girls' little spot on the net.

a weenote...
Your myspace... im assuming this was set up using a "catcher" e-mail address?
as in.. one thats not got your name, e-mail or location on it?

Seems obvious... but just being sure... cos if its your own, they'll probly try to contact your "friends" aswell, when you decide to annoy him.

It looks a little more like SPAM then SCAM to me as well but the delineating line is becoming evermore erased between the two lately.
As always I use my #1 Rule of Thumb in these instances - If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, smells like a duck and looks like a duck it's probably a duck. Beautiful young girls like the one shown on that link do not need to search the internet for love or salvation, simple truth.

100% scam !!!!

Playing with sex to get men...huh ? is it what you are looking for in a girl ?

Pretend if she was your girl...should you like her to have showing up on a website as she does ? If it had been for real or not a scam....?

This is a classic scam...either do she want your money but I can bet she want to sell her sexpictures to you later on !!!

DON'T GO THERE !!

If you have to ask, it usually is.

Naw...she's just trying to sell pictures or videos, unless it's a lad using the site to pull a scam.

If they want you to accept packages for them, because she's gonna visit you....or she's stranded at the airport in_____ (fill in the blank) it's a lad.

Is the ageregistry thing legit?? I don't do porn!!

Smile

Maybe phishing for CC numbers??
