conned

so there i am on myspace - it is fun.
and there are some interesting people on there. and as you know i am a friendly guy happy to chat to anyone about anything. well imagine my surprise when a i get a message from a gorgeous young girl. you could have knocked me down with a feather. actually it didn't take long to realise that this young lady was a front for something. blimey here comes a second girl to chat to me. mmm i must be wearing clic, can be the only explanation... or my photo makes me look so desperate it is not true,
so tonight on yahoo i have a long conversation with someone (it could be a he it could be a she) who seems to want to stay with me forever because they are looking for a soulmate - but actually wants my credit card details....

but for the life of me i can't quite work out how the scam is going to work as it seems i buy something and get it shipped to nigeria (mmm theres a clue) and that is it.
but ah wait a minute now the time they need the stuff is so quick i couldn't get it shipped to them, mmm so looks like it will come back to me giving them the details of my card. yeah right.

anyway enjoy a bit of it. i have been playing to see when they would tip their hand, but they haven't and i want to go to sleep.
thoguh quite why they chose the anme julian to go with the sexy photo is beyond me.,
