I can't stand the Nigerian bank scammers. I used to be able to just pass it off, delete the e-mail, ignore the IMs... but not anymore. Now I have a mission to fuck with them unmercifully.
I've got a profile on OkCupid, basically there so I can take the quizzes & save my results. I do chit chat with people while I'm goofing off there. I like it because it's not as interactive as facebook and has no expectations for me to do anything worthwhile with my time, like lj.
I used to use tribe.net until I started getting bombarded w/the Nigerian bank scammers. Until a few days ago, the Nigerian bank scammers were leaving OKC alone, or at least they weren't paying attention to me. A couple of days ago I got a generic 'hello' message from someone w/a blank profile that lists them from being from Ontisha, Nigeria. I replied, "So, what kind of kink are you into?"
They messaged me back "My dear, I love ur tattoos". I replied, "Would you like to put a cigarette out on them and lick my charred flesh?"
Now I just get to wait and see. I'm going to start lambasting e-mail scammers with insults about their mothers and various farmyard friends. I wish I could find a site that had basic profanity in Nigerian. Apparently they have a lot of different dialects that make this less straightforward than say, profanity in Russian or Japanese.
