Oh look. A Facebook message from a total stranger. How fun.

[Caveat Emptor]

Unsolicited message from a complete stranger 200+ miles away. I changed nothing except deleting her email addresses and adding emphasis in spots:


"How are you doing? I was browsing through profiles saw your pictures thought i would say hi and I would love to get to know you maybe we can start as Friendship first. I'm new to the whole online dating thing I will keep this very short and hope you can email me . Well **hears** my e-mail add it **would be very easier** to correspond you can send me a message through ( snip) or (snip)I **hope to read from you** soon .

Its a scammer, guaranteed. That grammar (without the traditional internet shorthand grammar), from a total stranger, as you said. Would I be right in assuming those emails you cut out are all from free online providers?

[Thuringwethyl]

I've gotten several from some "lady" that she's looking for lovin' etc. etc. I just deleted and reported them for spam.

I've gotten those. Ugh. I just block them when they come.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

That's porn spam.

I get them too. You'd be amazed at the number of broads that think I have the slightest interest in seeing their tits. Report them to FB and block them, that's about all you can do.

I get emails like that. "Linda" (or whatever fake name) sent you a message!

I mark 'em "phishing" so the same ones can't come through again but there are always more (sigh).

I get those all the time on a couple of rarely used MSN and Yahoo e-mail accounts. I really only use them when getting some freeware programs. I only check them once every couple of months and mostly what I get is "wanna be my friend????" or "See my (naughty nudge nudge wink wink) pictures at whatever.com

my trash bin is full of them.

Ahh, good ol' porn spam. I have yet to get one on my actual Facebook, but my junk mail filters on both Hotmail and G-Mail are chock-full of 'em. They are the sole reason why the amount of junk mail I get every day is in the low hundreds.
