All The World's A Scam

And all the men and women merely scammers or scammees.

My high school reunion is drawing nigh and the organizers have started a Yahoo Group to keep everyone updated and informed. I decided to create a public profile on Yahoo, so that people in the group could contact me. Talk about opening Pandora's box! I have received more random instant messages in the past two weeks than I ever have. The majority of which are from people in Nigeria. It has gotten to a point where I am extremely bitter about it all and am likely to lash out the next time someone asks me, "a/s/l?" I remember back in the day when you could chat online and there was at least some degree of sincerity. Now, you can't be sure if the person is even the gender or nationality they say they are. What's sad is that some of the people who have messaged me recently may actually be legit. They were probably just looking for someone to talk to and weren't expecting to get the third degree from some redneck in central KY. That's why I like "dmayokun". He just cuts to the chase.

[Yahoo] dmayokun [ 12:01:44 PM ] and we are about to build it and we need a let fund , the united nation as sent us so material and supply too
[Yahoo] ME [ 12:02:40 PM ] I'm sure they did. How fortunate for you. I suggest you leave me alone and bother someone else before I report you to Yahoo and have your account revoked. Have a nice day!
[Yahoo] dmayokun [ 12:02:59 PM ] so i dont know if u can help us sir
[Yahoo] dmayokun [ 12:03:49 PM ] no sir am not scaming u am just asking u for help
[Yahoo] ME [ 12:09:01 PM ] I would just absolutely love to help you. I really would. But I'm not a big fan of people stealing my money. I guess that makes me old-fashioned but I prefer to have my criminals work harder than that. Is it too much to ask to have them put forth a little effort to get my goods? So....yeah I got some things I need to do and need to get out here. Good luck with your scamming! I hope your life of crime is working out for you.
