    Everyone gets these now and again - out of nowhere someone want to be your friend, or to help you make money, or want to share a fortune 25 MILLION DOLLARS with you etc etc.

    However, this guy is not interested in your money, credit card or anything - he just want you to hook him up with 'lady ladies of the world'!? WTF??

    I am always of the opinion that if the son of the former king of Nigeria needs help getting $93 MILLION out of the country because the new regime has locked the funds and he needs $10,000 dollars and an EU bank account and whatever else, it is my duty to help him. Whatever the consequences.

    I get those occasionally. I generally just ignore them.

    I did get one from brazil one time that had a name of a friend who I Thought it was someone I knew. I accepted her request.

    An hour later...
    Her: Hi! How are you! How is it going (extremly sexy voice, like one of those advert voices).
    Me: Yes?
    Her: You don't want to talk with me? (upset and sexy)
    Me: Well I am kind of busy. Do I know you?
    Her: Oh ok sorry for bothering you. *click*

    So there are probably some just looking for friends/husbands/wives. The missus has gotten 3 or 4 from the middle east/asia wanting to know if they could marry her. :)

    Wow. When you say "wanted to marry her", do you mean, they were literally up for organising it right then and there?

    I got a really funny one to my myspace, telling me I was beautiful, and that he was prophet and he used to watch me from his heavenly kingdom and he said my soul was pure (he must have been watching me when I was 1 year old) and that I was going to help him reach ulitmate englightenment(?), and if I agreed to be his bride we would both save the world from the destruction that so many people where inflicting on it.

    It was typed in bad english and he said he was from Texas, but I think his hometown was South Africa or somewhere like that.

    Bit of an ego boost for a couple of minutes.

    Ha, did his name begin with "Preacher" or something like that? If it is, he did the same to one of my friends, followed by a message saying that god needs to purify her, and to send him a pic of her naked as soon as she could...

    I think she sent him Tubgirl and put him on ignore.

    Used to get a lot of dodgy IMs on ICQ (which I havent used in ages), but not much apart from that.
