Oh my God . . . I've lost my scam virginity!
Actually, for all my 70 years, I had never
been scammed before; go figure!
So, yesterday, I get an e-mail from a niece
that I've never really communicated with
although we're friends on FB. After greetings,
she asked if I had seen my name on a list
saying I had won $10,000 via FB. I told her
I couldn't remember and that I figured it was
a scam anyway.
She went on to share that she too, had won
and that she'd only had to pay $350 to receive
it. Then she asked if I would like for her to
check and see if my name was still there.
She wrote me back and said indeed it was and
I should message the FB account. As this was
my niece, I did so. A man answered and said,
he would check. He soon wrote and said, YES!
And that all I would have to do would be to
send $200.00 . . . sounded fishy to me.
I answered that it was end of month and he
could send me $9,800. if that was do-able.
Obviously NOT and I needed to pay an
additional $35,. for the sending. The scent of
fishy was getting greater and then my niece
wrote again and asked how it was going. By
then, of course, I had give my full name,
address, e-mail, phone number, date of birth,
etc. Not quite sure why I didn't just turn over
the title to my cabin!
The chap comes back on messenger and
suggests various ways for me to send the
money . . . such as go to Safeway and buy
a gift card and e-mail it to him.
Starting to get bored here . . . so I signed
off and turned off FB . . . and then found I
couldn't get back in. This may be the most
exciting thing that's happened to me in my
old age! And hey if an of you want to send
me the odd $200, feel free; it'll save you
from the scammers! Ha!
lets have some fun guys
see what lies i can fall for
scam me anyway
