A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about a creative scam I received via email. I mentioned in that post that I often receive love letters via email from women in Ukraine...well, I opened up my Gmail this afternoon to this find this little gem of a subject line...
LOVING YOU....
And a light bulb went off DING! DING! DING! I knew I had another one...
It had been a while since I'd received an email from some suspicious address across the Atlantic and was beginning to think that I'd lost my mojo for attracting perfect strangers with my irresistible internet avatars.
Nah, it's still there. Perhaps they were all busy gearing up for back-to-school? I've decided to share this latest letter because it had me in stitches! What I found odd about it was that there were no links, no attachments...I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with this email. Maybe they thought I'd write back and then they could beg for money?
Regardless, it was a pretty funny email. Go ahead, see for yourself!
Miss Sandra
Now, let me be clear in saying that I was not laughing at the thought of her parents being brutally murdered in cold blood. I was laughing because um, she doesn't really look like a refugee. And her email address came from a .uk account, where as she claims to be in Senegal.
And her shirt is totally see-through and I can see the pattern of her bra.
Moron.
PS - if you are the girl in this pic, please let me know and I will remove it. 🙂
Alison
I'm so jealous! I haven't gotten any new ones lol.
Kelly
I'm sure someone believes her pack of lies!
Shop with Me Mama (Kim)
LOL! Some guy will think she is hot and go for it.. 😉
Nicole
That is fantasmic.
Henrietta
I hate these emails! That and all of the fake yahoo messenger friend requests can kiss it!
HilLesha
I'm always having fake spammer chicks hit on me. No males. ~le sigh~ 😉
Katie
and isn't that a fountain in Vegas? lol
Sheila
I'm thinking that photo could have been taken from some random girl's photo album online. Wait, that's a very scary thought.

I try not to open them!! lol
blueviolet
What? You didn't fall for her charms?
Sandra Roberts
I always block emails like that! I don't open them and read them, just get rid of them. But in reading that email, it is funny that she's not where she said she was and yet you're suppose to believe her story! lol Not even sure I'd believe her parents were killed.
I do however believe that some guy will fall for her story and make her day! 😉

I had no idea that there were refugee camps at the Venetian in Las Vegas. It's a shame what goes on in this country.

To funny but sad at the same time what is wrong with these stupid idiots? My daughter was telling me about a friends grandma that sent a couple thousand to some dude that said her grandchild was in jail, supposedly they could not get a hold of the grandson so she wired the money, yadda yadda, don't know all the details but it was sort of scary to hear.
Emmi
ok I shouldn't laugh but you totally called that person out! i hate it when people do stupid spam things like that. I never actually open them so I had no idea that some actually have pictures attached! Crazy!
Emmi
Too funny! I just noticed that!
Eve
Lol! Hilarious! But I have seen some people really fall for this. Some woman at my church did and ended up sending $1000.
Kim
Nobody ever hits on me in email....
Honestly I think they are looking for you to respond, once you do then they reel you in. I bet you could catch a criminal if you pretend to play their game. I'm not suggesting you do, just interesting to think about what would happen if you responded.
Beau
You pretty much said what i could not effectively communicate. +1
Ayngelina
Now that is hilarious. You know it looks like she is on a green screen and not in front of the fountain.
Tomi
Too funny. I have yet to read one in its entirety. I generally see them in my email preview & delete 'em immediately.
tamie
The pic reminds me of that gorgeous hotel in Vegas, I will have to look at my pics later and see if it is, lol.
