The CDG1

I am nearing the end of a very fun occurance. :mischief:
Spoiler :
A yahoo personals email arrivals in my inbox many many months ago and I finnally click on it to see what it is all about.

The sender is a very beautiful woman just a bit younger than myself, I read the email and it says that she very much feels that my ddiscription of myself is exactly what she has always been looking for!

Now this is for real, my "bio" is short and very dull actually I had no actual desire to even do anything there, but anyway I click on the reply button and typed Hi

About 5 minutes later my "yahoo Messenger? yahoos and I have an accept this lady to my account. Huh, well ok sure lets see what happens.

In just a few minutes flat this "woman" is drulling and soaking wet in Love with me, she said it is Fate. I shake my head and laugh. I look at her account and sure enough she is from a neighboring city but I noticed that the original email she called herself Cindy and now she calls herself Stacey. Her bio is nice, she is an Art and sculpture collector and buys and sells them around the world as well.

I could tell write away that she was not an actual local woman due to the way she was phrasing herself and how fast she fell in Love with me and then wanted to know about how much money I earned. Well well well what do we have here I think to myself, I think I'll have some fun with this.

I began talking about how lonely I have been (LOL) and just did a good job at controlling the conversation but at this point I realized the real skill this person had at manipulating someone so I too turned it up a notch.

We closed the first session with her needing to catch a plane to West Africa to buy Art etc.
I asked her for her cell number but she claimed it was disconnected but then she wanted mine. Yes that makes a lot of sense and no I would have never in any way given her anything of mine, I would have simply used it as evidence or what ever.

Session 2 was on how she was trembleing from missing me so bad, Umm ok, yea umm I miss you too I typed. for about an hour she/he angled for my number and even went as far as giving me an internation number she claimed was her hotel room in Nigeria. Gee isn't that were all those scammers are from. I closed todays session with her still wanting and with my face sore from smiling.

I bet tomorrow some tragedy falls her way and she'll ask me for money. Ah my poor heart will be so broken LOL
 
Be careful, Eclipse. Even firewalls aren't very effective in chat rooms. And don't accept any emails from her/him that have attachments. I'm glad you know what you're doing, but so do the scammers. They're not doing it for fun.

Yes It was dumb to play a game on this level. I felt the adrenalin to make this scammer work for their money and then just simply block them and report them but something happened in the middle just before I received your warning.
Tactics were being increased and phone calls were in question (their is a lot here but the short is I declined). She gave me a international phone number to her hotel but I closed to conversation claiming I didn't have international calling enabled. The next morning I received a free text from my cellphone provider announcing that International calling plan was enabled on my IPhone (I turn one shade of White, WHITE). OMG, my whole everything has been touched by this, has she hacked into my phone? The quickly called tech support anfd etc and was releaved to find out it was purely coincidental and my iphone is secure. Gasp!
 
;)
Well, now you know your phone service provider is monitoring your emails...
:rotfl:
 
"press space to continue"

Well, that was a productive turn. And still no silk. At least our noodles are good.

Eclipse, I enjoyed reading your "PBEM" with that "lady" ( I bet she is he). Please keep us posted. Once on the blog I have read a similar story with a scammers from Nigeria, where the American Dude made hilarious claims that he just killed his own wife and to prove it he sent a picture from some horror movie to the confused scammer :)
