Porn Scam

Thursday I received a e-mail on friendster from "Carrie" saying that she had seen my entry, was new to the area, and looking to make friends. Well, I'm looking to make friends too, so I thought I would reply to see if she was for real and got this e-mail the next day:

Hey Mark, thanks for getting in touch! So how's your Friday going? Just
another work day for me:) A bit about me....I'm a LA woman, who moved to
the Minneapolis area for my job (sales) and I officially know 0 people. I
never imagined a change like this would be so hard and lonely to say the
least. I definitely want to meet up with you soon if you're down! According
to friendster, I live close by so we could really meet whenever you want.
GREAT NEWS (if you're a baseball fan) my boss gave me 2 tickets to the
Twins/Devil Rays game for Saturday night...it's at 6:10PM. Care to come
with me???

I posted A LOT more pics (as I said I'd give you!) on my newest personal,
they're at http://www.matchinglust.com/carrie00 My profile is listed in
that site under "BackSideBabe". I wanted to post my personal info (i.e.
phone # and my personal email address) there for 3 real simple reasons. 1)
It's DISCREET! 2) I never have to worry about being contacted by children
since only adults are allowed in the site and 3) I know all the replies I
receive are genuine. I've met 3 people off of this site, and it's truly made
me feel safe. I had a nightmare of an experience in the past that I don't
want to happen again. Thats all I've got to say right now, let's just plan
on meeting soon! Cause you know what that means... ;)

Give me a call!

As I expected, she wasn't real. Turns out "she" has been running this scam with lots of different people on at two different services (using myspace.com as well), but it looks like more people are getting wise to the antics.

This morning, after failing to call her yesterday, I got another e-mail (from a different, but similar, hotmail e-mail address), saying how she was disappointed that I hadn't called her yesterday. She suggested that I go to myblissfuldesires and look her up as NaughtyNaughty. She's having trouble keeping her story straight. I replied back that I was on to her scam and she needed to move on.

Gotta love the Internet.

Moreso, you gotta love Google. I got the same e-mail and just googled her screenname and found your blog entry. I was skeptical from the beginning because I've seen shit like this all the time, so I wasn't really expecting anything, less so when I saw "a link to my pictures".

At least they update the Twins game to make it look legit. :)

I later got an e-mail from Kylie on Myspace.com that didn't say she was new to town, but just that I looked cool and we should get together.

I wrote her back that there were a lot of porn scam e-mails going around, and hers sounded vaguely like it might be one, but if it wasn't, I'd be happy to chat with her more.

Of course I never heard back from her, but I was happy to have thumbed my nose at them right off the bat.
