Sounds Legit!

Received in e-mail:
Hello dear, My name is Roseline, it is my pleasure to write you today. Actually, I got your contact information through google searching for friendship, I will appreciate your friendship, because I believe that good friend is a Gift of God. I am very honest, caring, sensitive, loving, straight forward person.

I like honest,sincere,creative mind, brilliant having transparent personality.I believe strongly in peace,and human rights,love art/graffiti music,films,reading,holidays and etc, It will also please me to know more about you if it is your wish too. you can write mail to me through this email address, roselinelove24@gmail.com I will be happy to reply you with some pictures of me for more correspondence.

Hope to hear from you,
Roseline

Just what I was looking for! An unsolicited request from someone looking for a transparent personality who believes strongly in holidays! I think I'll write back with my bank account information in case she wants to wire me some money from Nigeria, too!

The sad part is that someone's gotta be falling for this, because they keep sending these e-mails out...

That is all.

Sadly I know some of the people who reply to this scam. I call them the "what do you mean left click crowd?".

What the heck is "love art/graffiti music"? She likes making love to the sound of gangstas?

If you're up for a game, check this out:

People find it fun to reply to scammers and string them along. If you can convince the scammer to send you a picture of them doing or holding something that you specify (to verify their authenticity, of course) you can post it in the site's Trophy Room.

Me? I just tret them like telemarketers and ignor ethem.

Roseline must dig chicks, too. I got this email a few days ago - except she used the name Katrina. Perhaps she's ashamed of her bi-curious ways and used a pseudonym with me.

I want to apologize for my earlier outburst. Roseline and I are having some problems right now. We are in love, I love her transparency and interest in graffiti music and etc. and she loves the fact that I answered her email. Unfortunately Roseline is under a lot of stress right now and is not herself. You see her father has been kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel and until we get him back she is understandably under a lot of pressure. Very soon we will be paying off his ransom and once he is back and safe Roseline and I can finish planning our wedding. You might be thinking that this is some scam to get my money but I can assure you I will get it all back and then some! You see, what his kidnappers don’t know is that her father has a treasure map tattooed on his chest that will lead us to the secret buried gold of the Sierra Madre. After we get this ordeal behind us we can finally meet (and assuming Roseline is a woman) we will be married and very happy! Thanks for listening!;)
