Every time I open my Yahoo I/M there are offline messages waiting for me.
A few months ago it was people trying to get me to click a link to a website to see videos of someone. I reported everyone as spam and blocked them.
The new twist this month is "I saw your pic on that adult site and you're pretty cute :)" and of course, they get the same treatment from me! Today must have broken previous records... I got 6 of these exact messages and 4 normal greetings from strangers.

Most of the e-mail addresses have a first and last name. Sometimes the word 'cares' is part of their handle too. I guess 'caring' is important to African spammers.

It must be a profitable business over there or so many wouldn't be doing this. Surely they are capable of getting responses from guys... all they have to do is send a few naked (nekkid if you're from the South) photos and suggest chatting with webcam. When the guy is getting hot, they turn off the webcam and tempt him for a creditcard at $3.99 per minute. Right? isn't how this is done...?

Guys... Don't be foolish to do this. Your putting yourself in position to have your credit card tapped for all it's worth. Can you spell F R A U D ?

This is my Public Service Announcement for July... If you get any 'stray' yahoo messages, click IGNORE and click the box to report them as spam. It's as easy as that.

and no.. I don't have any pics on an adult site... so I don't have to second guess if some actually saw me somewhere.
