Subject: Hello
Body: Hello! I'm surfing this site using my girl friends' account. So, I want you to know that this account isn't mine, but my girl friends. She just showed me this site, so I don't have my own account yet. She is letting me use her account to see if I like the site.
This site does seem to be alot of fun. I enjoyed reading and looking through your profile too. So, I just wanted to say hi to you. How does this work? I have been single for som long now, I think I have forgotten how to meet new people. LOL... I came off of a bad relationship a year ago, and now feel that maybe it is time to find a friend again. I dont think that I am ready for another relationship, so what I am looking for is a good friendship. You know, someone who I can hang out with, talk to, and maybe even share some intimate moments with. So, I guess some folks call that having friendship with some additional benefits. LOL!
So I guess we should start somewhere. I am Kristen... You can email me at tubby2_tubby3@yahoo. Since this is my girl friends profile, I might not get a message through here, so if you email me directly, at least we can keep in contact. She told me to create a profile of my own if I really like the site. I just might. I have pictures that I can send if you want. I am just your typical blonde. And I have blue eyes. I am told that I am attractive. I don't think that I am model material, but then again, I sure am not bad to look at. I think that we would get along great.

Seems plausible enough right? Well, I am used to getting messages from people on hotornot and a few other sites, though not usually on other people's accounts. *shrugs* Anyway, I said hi. Today I got an reply:
Hi will ! Hey you found me! I was a little worried you
wouldn't be able to so, how are you? I am ok.. I'm
sneaking a email in at work before my boss comes back
in, so sorry if it's a little short! I promise to
write more later
So I promised you some pics... well I will have to
send you some of me when I get home (don't have the
pics here at work). In the meantime you can check out
my personal homepage. It is kind of playground while
I'm taking this intro to HTML class, kind of like my
blog page. Here's the link:
kristenssite It's not much
yet but it's getting there. hehe
So tell me more about yourself, are you a work to live
or live to work kinda person? What are you looking for
in a girl? Do you like myspace? I think I'll make a
profile soon, it's free right? and you can add your
own HTML? That would be cool.. What are you doing
tonight? I'm just going out with the girl friends
after work, probably find a bar or someplace to hang
out. We usually try to get together at least once a
week and get drunk. HEHE! (J/K on the getting drunk
part, wejust have fun)
Oh, hey... My Birthday is 1 week from today. Maybe if
we hit it off, we can have our first date on my
Birthday? That would be really cool, and romantic as
well. Well, think about it and let me know if you
might want to do that.
Anyways, enough with the 20 questions right? oh, I
prefer to chat on IM, its more personal you know? Do
you have AIM? im kriskat224 on there, msg me sometime
ok?
Well I should log off and get some work done.. Write
back soon! and take care!
xoxo ~ Kristen
Well, obviously I know something is wrong right away:
1) My name isn't will - apparently the program's name recognition needs a little work.
2) There is no reason for me to have any trouble "finding" her. How much more simple can you get than giving someone your e-mail address?
3) There is an adult verification system on her html class "playground", and the link to her "class project" is for a school that doesn't exist.
4) It is ridiculously early to talk about a date, especially since it is unlikely that we live in the same place (the profile of the "friend" puts her in Ontario, but the wet floor signs in one of the pictures have Spanish rather than French, which indicates somewhere in the US).
Anyway, after a little googling, I found this site, which goes into the scam in detail. Crazy eh? As far as I can tell, it is just trying to get you to pay for the adult check thing, though perhaps I should read that site a little more thoroughly to be sure.
Oh, one little plus: naked "Kristen" for free.
In other news, progress in welding is accelerating, but I expect it to drop off rather sharply once I get to butt joints. *chuckle* Catch you later kids.
END OF LINE.
Thats pretty funny. Glad to know I dont get any weirdo messages on myspace.'
Oh wait. Yeah I do.
