SCAMMERS SCRAM, YOU SCUM!!!

 

Unfortunately, some of these low life leeches have deceptively innocent looking profiles on Facebook, so I've accepted their friendship requests. Shortly after, they contact me via messenger becoming pests more noxious than cockroaches and I must block them.

These are all experts in what is called the long con. They are out to collect as much personal info as possible before hitting you up for money.

Frequently I've thought about having some fun with them since turnabout is fair play. Perhaps I should feed them lies.

Almost always they start out with, "How are you today?"

I'd respond with:  I am so miserable I'd kill myself except that my 6 kids are depending on me now that their father is in prison.

To be honest, had he not been a force of nature in the sack I would have left him years ago!

Already he has a new girlfriend, a stripper no less who shows up for connubial visits. When I think of this, it depresses the hell out of me! Thankfully he can't see the 80 lbs I've gained since his incarceration.

And I stood by him too; throwing away what little money I had on his lawyer bills. He's up on manslaughter charges, but honestly it was an accident! He didn't mean to force that bus load of church goers off a cliff! He was playing chicken with the bus when it happened. Ted was drunk at the time; he wasn't in control of his faculties so you can't really blame him!

His cell mates call him Toe-Tag Teddy. This makes me want to cry!

My current job as a phone sex worker barely pays the bills. Clients hang up on me all the time! My boss says I have a squeaky voice and no charisma. What the hell do these creeps expect when I'm feeling so down and depressed?

Oh and my kids are hungry all the time. Soon I may be forced to kill our neighbor's dog to feed them! For months now I've been making them tuna fish sandwiches from dollar store cat food mixed with expired mayonnaise. Thank goodness my kids still can't read!

They're all failing in school. --That's when they actually bother to show up! And when they do, their teachers complain they either sleep thru class or their eyes look all weird and they appear zoned out. That's the 3 older ones anyway. I wish those teachers would mind their own business!

My 4th oldest is unable to attend school due to brain damage. This happened at birth. His head hit the porcelain hard on the Walmart toilet while I was delivering. The birth was a complete surprise! I thought I was passing a kidney stone.

My youngest daughter starts school in the fall but is already dreading it. Kids make fun of her looks! Poor child inherited my buck teeth along with her father's lazy left eye and she's pigeon-toed just like her oldest brother.

And my 4 year old is a handful to say the least! He'll set fire to anything if I don't keep an eye on him! Just a few weeks ago he destroyed our neighbor's new car. But that was an accident! The car just happened to be in their garage when it went up in blazes.

My neighbor is suing, but I'm not worried. You can't get blood from a tomato just because they're both red!

I know my kids aren't perfect, but what can I do? I'm just their mother so it's out of my hands!

I can tell right away you are a sensitive soul and have a sympathetic nature. It fills me with delight that we are now friends on Facebook!

BTW my rent is overdue can you help?

SUSPICIOUS MUCH?

 

Ah Valentine's Day is nearly upon us!

I'm sure every woman who has a LinkedIn or Facebook account has been hit on by some creep or con feigning romantic interest. Since I'm single, I've had my share.

Usually they're easy to spot right away, but not always. Awhile back I posted about Borja, his LinkedIn page looked legit and he sounded convincing. The only red flag was he came on too strong and too fast. Also he was promising me not only the moon and stars, but everything beyond.

The November before the lockdown I met a friend for lunch. "What a difference a year makes," I said. "Last year at this time I thought I'd be on my honeymoon in Hong Kong with Borja by now!" -- NOT!

I laughed.

Borja asked me to "lend" him $6000 the week before our first date was scheduled. THAT ended him for me!

Later on Facebook, some guy kept posting on my Timeline and messaging me how much he enjoyed my posts. He said we have the same sense of humor and other things in common so he must meet me. I'll call him, Mr. Underrock.

He claimed to live in Hobe Sound. I lived there briefly during first grade and gave him the name of the lane my family resided on.

He insisted upon scheduling a date to meet me. I explained that I was asexual and not looking for romance. He assured me he was fine with that. We would meet at the Vero Beach Museum of Art and from there he would take me out to lunch.

I had 700 plus Facebook friends at the time and couldn't keep track of all of them. So I looked at his Timeline and to my horror remembered that I had rejected his friendship request. The reason being not just one red flag, but a field of them!

For one, his Timeline was vague. He had zero friends! --Getting a Facebook friend is easier than finding a stray dog at the pound! And his only photo was that of a mural, no other posts!  Also it stated he had only "visited" Hobe Sound in 2020.

I began questioning if he actually was who he said. Now I truly wondered what plans he had in store for me after we met.

Confronting him, he was equally sketchy. Wasting nary a second I BLOCKED Mr. Underrock!
