Vi bliver endda jagtet af hot babes!

Det er desværre ikke for vores grønne øjnes skyld, men fordi vi er desperat dumme og har alt for mange penge.

Det er selvfølgelig “scammere” jeg snakker om.
  Og til ære for dem der ikke ved hvad det er, kommer her et par eksempler fra det virkelige liv.

Første gang jeg løb ind i en scammer var da jeg havde en profil på en dating-side. Jeg fik en meget sød mail fra en russisk pige som havde vedlagt et billede af sig selv. Hun lignede ikke en model, men så rigtig, rigtig sød ud. Hun skrev om hvad hun arbejdede med og at hun grundlæggende var tilfreds men alligevel savnede sin soulmate. Om at hun havde læst min profil og var blevet nysgerrig…
  Jeg har desværre slettet emailen, men den gjorde at jeg blev skeptisk og ærligt skrev tilbage at det meget lignede et “Russian bride scam” hvor pigen bliver mere og mere forelsket i offeret; bliver ved med at sende flotte billeder og alt er ovenud rosenrødt lige indtil hendes mor bliver alvorligt syg og hun har brug for ekstremt dyr medicin… Efter at have pumpet offeret for kontanter aftales det så at mødes, hvortil hun skal bruge en stor sum penge til flybillet osv. Herefter forsvinder hun sporløst.

Det værste ved den slags er at man ofte er lidt i tvivl om hvorvidt det nu er en scam, eller om der virkelig skulle være en sød pige derude der faldt over ens profil

Det er lidt nemmere at gennemskue spam-mail som fx:

Hi! I am bored this afternoon. I am 25 y.o. girl that would like to chat with you. Email me at  fvxaz at anymailonline.info only. Will send some of my pictures

Efter jeg har oprettet en MySpace-profil er jeg igen blevet antastet af et par scammere.

Den første forløb sådan her:

Sanya:

Hello, How re u doing? Am new to this site, was just searching and ur profile caught my eyes. How is life treating u? If u care to know more, Please write me back at [..] because i check it more often than myspace,beside i have never met someone serious here though, am new to this site. Write me so i will keep in touch, hope to talk soon.

best regards

Sanya

Mig:

This sounds like spam; I’m just not certain what you will achieve - except email harvesting.

Odd.

Den næste:

Jane:

Hello i..m jane, i like your profile

Mig (en anelse skeptisk, men hendes billede gør at jeg ikke vil risikere noget ):

Hi !

I like yours too. There’s not much there but your picture, though. But what a picture!

Are you new at MySpace too ?

Regards from Denmark

Jane:

Hi,
My name is Jane Dana, I saw your profile and i like it, i just want to tell you more about me 5′8 tall and 114lbs…..I was born 31 year ago in Marienville, PA…U.S.A..I never believed anybody would wanna be with a girl like mine who’s got a fairy tale about life’s experience But I am into sales. I supply fruits to Europe and a short time model. I never grew up to know who my father and my mother raise me all alone And she raise me to be indoor and she also raise me to keep my virginity for the lucky man that will love me and care for me for the rest of my life….It is sadden that i lost my mother 6 years ago…(Precisely 2001) and that make me unhappy always cuz no one can be like her in my heart…but am open to any depending upon their sharing the intimate side of myself with someone willing to do the same.So I’m seeking a serious long term relationship and more. Someone special to capture my heart and knows how to handle it with care, one who will cherish me and be willing to share life’s greatest joys and sorrows. Someone who’s willing to spoil, pamper and love me unconditionally, whom is kind, sincere, honest, passionate, loyal, sense of humor, loving and wants a lifetime of passion.
Also I will like to know what you do for a living?and could you tell me a little about your self.
Hope to hear from you soonest. my e-mail [..]

Mig:

Hi again

sorry, but this sounds like one of those scams aimed at lonely male singles.

I simply can’t understand how anyone can bring themselves to do that sort of thing.

Jane:

Hello,
I..m not here to scammer, i..m here to find friend and my own luv and the story i sent to you is my true lifestory so how do you expect me to be a scammer and i promise you that i..ll never do that.

Jane

Mig (dang, hun er god, men jeg er alligevel for skeptisk):

It just sounds 100% as one of those “russian bride” scams

An absolutely beautiful girl (and even a virgin ) that’s a bit lonely and extremely interested in getting to know some odd guy. She usually has some sick mother that needs very expensive medicine that she will talk about later on. And at some point she desperately want to meet, and need money for an airplane ticket
  Instead of writing about yourself on your profile, you tell your whole life story in private conversations. Probably sending more pictures along the way. Every mail is prewritten with at most one or two sentences added on, based on the reply.

Have you read my profile at all ? I’m still a student and haven’t got that kind of money

I would love you to be true, but sadly you are not.
  I would love to chat with the real person behind all this, though. Like what’s the deal? Do you get paid to do this or are you self-employed ? Do you in fact live in Russia ?

Jane (et stykke tid efter):

Hello,

How are you doing. I am doing fine and I thanks God for everything. I have not been to Europe before but I am planning to travel to Ireland very soon for contract as a model. I will be happy if we can be friends so we can both share the same ideology.
I have to send this out to you as I hope to read from you soonest.
Luv
Jane

Jeg forestiller mig at der sidder en fedladen russisk fyr et sted og cut’n'paster svar til folk uden egentlig at forstå engelsk…

Jeg gider ikke rigtig svare længere… Selvom… Måske er hun min soulmate og jeg er alt for skeptisk ? Måske var ingen af ovenstående i virkeligheden scammere ?

Stakkels os udsatte, jagede single-fyre !
