Friends Reunited. WTF?

[Dan Glebitts]

I just got a message notification Friends Reunited. Opened it up and got this from a Carla Gibson....

Hi, how are you? I'd like to meet a nice, cute and hard working guy who enjoys and respects women. I just got out of a long relationship (about four years), so I'm only looking for something very casual. About me: I'm very cute, a bit stubborn and outgoing. I do some sports, I like biking and tennis. I also follow NASCAR and soccer. I hope you're interested, you should send me a shout, but don`t respond directly to the message. I'm borrowing the account from my best friend ;-) Please use my private email instead: qjennygenet@yahoo..Thanx!

I don't know a Carla Gibson. 'Nice, cute and hardworking guy who respects women'? She's got the wrong bloke!! I only enjoy them if their mouths are taped up too.

Anyway, is this some sort of scam? As far As I was aware I didn't sign up to a dating agency to recieve this sort of thing. The thing with her mates mail addy an the fact that it was sent to me at 5:06 this morning makes me think it's sus.

Any thoughts?

This is a fairly major clue that it's spam/ a scam of some kind, probably dating website or trying to get yu to send 'money for a plane ticket', or a multitude of other nonsense.

Just ignore it.

Yep...shes gonna suck you in...make you think your going to get some action...she'll promise to come and see you...just one problem...her wages haven't been paid or something so you'll have to send her the coach fare/petrol money or whatever...then there will be another sob story which ends with you needing to send her some more money...then another one...rinse. repeat until you've cottoned on or have run out of money.

Thought so but there's no way I'd respond to this even if I wasn't in a great relationship, I like to snare my own Hos thank you very much!

people still use friendsreunited?

[Dan Glebitts]

TBH mate I'd forgotten about my account until I got this message.

[gamefreaks]

I think you should respond.

And post here the responses here.

See how many references to 'back doors' or 'oxo tower' you can get into one e-mail.

It'll be fun!
