Haha! I caught a Myspace scammer in the act!

Okay so today I got a message from someone named Sheryl on myspace:

"i am not into this freinds trying to find dates for freinds but this colleague of mine was looking at your profile and might have a crush on you. we are trying to find her a good partner, everyone in our group has someone. u seem like a cute good hearted person,we voted 3-1 for u, here look at our freind and see if u are interested, Here is the link, Add friend"

Well before I thought to click the "add friend" button I decided to check out this Sheryl's profile, here it is: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=67459182

I was like WTF she doesn't even have the girl she's talking about as a friend. I clicked the add friend button just out of curiosity to who it would take me to. It took me to a girl named Paula's page, which is here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=66662935

I was like "man she looks slutty"... So I then began formulating my reply.

"Well Sheryl, I am not stupid. If you want to gain any credibility with me, you will first have to prove to me that YOU are in fact human and not some computer program. I mean c-mon, look at your profile. You have no picture, no friends (not even the person you directed me to), and no modifications to your page, which suggests to me that something is not right. I read her blog, supposedly about me, but I realised that you could have sent this same message to 40,000,000 other guys out there and they too would think it's about them.

So now I ask you: What's up? Is there some kind of marketing scheme going on here? I suppose that the girl you sent me to is probably working at a porno site and she will eventually want me to subscribe to see her. Is that right? I've seen it happen here before.

Sombody's got some splainen to do....

P.S. Please, by all means, prove me wrong."

BTW, I already know for sure that it is a marketing scheme because I read some of Paula's "friends'" blogs...


Also, if anyone wants to add me from here (or re-add me because I had to delete my page once due to some family issues dealing with myspace.) please feel free to do so. My page is here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=60423856

Yeah, those sneaky adds seem to be getting more and more popular at sites like that (sms.ac, Jeeves, hi5, etc...)

Ehhh, Myspace.

Thats another thing that pisses me off Jesda,NO ONE EVER makes there page even remotely legible.Everything is so damn unorganized and they dont think what colors go with what.I dont visit myspace regularly,but alot of my friends have pages(i do too,just rarely go on it),and most of them are just a mess.They should have a tutorial.

its really not, i was pressured into it by my cousin, hes all "you gotta be the only human left on earth that doesnt have a myspace account

i always hated xanga livejournal etc, and blogging in general, i dont hate the people that do it, cause i sometimes enjoy reading my friends blogs he, but i dont have much to blog about so i stay away from it

ive been thinkin about gettin back in the webdesign game though, so i guess this is one step in that direction, somewhat
btw i was talkin about this

its real its fun but it isnt real fun. of course we lost Ralph to it. aha, he doesnt leave that damned place. i am on there just for the hell of it. when i just want to talk to one person (i.e. Megan) then i go on there and send her a message... well when the message thing works anyway. its always messing up with me.

I guess that just leaves me as the only human to not have a Myspace account :p

You see, I am a member of three internet forums, two of which I have a combined 40 posts, and I've been a member on one of them longer than I've been here. Cadillacforums is the only forum in which I've accumulated any real number of posts, so you can only imagine the time I wouldn't spend on Myspace: just a waste of my time for me if you understand what I mean.

Besides, why in the Hell would I want to inject Myspace with my wholesome evilness? I don't think Myspace can hadle it.

See the thing is...you barely really spend any time on it. It isn't like here. In the beginning of course you are on it making your page look nice, and trying to find long lost friends, but after it all dies down you really only treat it as like an e-mail account lol. I only go on myspace to check messages, and to check bulletins (which are jokes, surveys, etc.). It's not all that time consuming unless you are on there for dating purposes and you are going through tons of profiles.... I love myspace because I found friends that I otherwise would've never seen or heard from again. It helps a lot of people keep in touch in a fun way!

I see.

As for finding friends on the internet, and I use the term 'friend' very carefully since they're people I've talked to on the internet, I have maybe accumulated five or six, all from here. In a nutshell, I have had a personal (not in person, just lots of discussion via PM) correspondance with Kev, LittleB (you :eek: ), Katshot, N0DIH, Stoney, and Ralph, and I don't even talk to Ralph anymore.

I have friends through this site, but have never made friends with someone over myspace....I just talk to people I went to school with etc., and long lost friends.

Same here! Thanks for the add :D

Yeah I took out some things in my profile that gave away a lil bit too much info on me....it is getting so huge that now people are using it with alternative motives.
