The Proposition

I'm in trouble. Real big trouble. And I don't know how to tell my wife this. I know if she finds out about it, there'll be hell to pay. It's not something I'd like to keep from her. If she ever ever found out about this, she'd be devastated not to mention probably strangle me to death!

Let me start from the beginning. I am signed up with this community network called HashBush. I joined a few months ago but never actually bothered about it cos it's really not good at all and besides I don't even like stuff like these. It's been neglected for so long. But today, I received an email stating that I have a message for me. Seeing as how I had nothing better to do, I logged on to see what the message was all about.

And what I read has got my heart palpitating wildly. The message was from someone called Hotmama44 and she had a love preposition for me! I was captivated, I felt my heart quiver as I read the letter. A hotmama was propositioning me. I feel real bad for even considering it. How could I even think of cheating on wifey ... here, I copy pasted the message for all of you to see:

FROM: hotmama44

SUBJECTS: Hello

Hello,
My name is miss Jenny i saw your profile today at hashbush and became intrested in you, i will also like to know you the more, and i want you to send a mail to my email address so i can give you my picture for you to know whom l am and maybe love can blosom. Here is my email address (jenny_02johnson@yahoo.com). I believe we can move from here. I am waiting for your mail to my email address above. miss Jenny. (Remember the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life) Thanks.

So, you guys think I should reciprocate to this hotmama44 Miss Jenny Woman? You think I should not let color and distance get in the way of love? You think I should go ahead and fall for Miss Jenny? You think I should let love blossom for me and Miss Jenny? LMAO! What a scam. I just couldn't help myself by posting about this. I mean, do you really think people will fall for emails like this? Who in the world goes out sending people such emails? What do they really intend to achieve except to scam someone right?

I've had tons and tons of these email scams and according to some of them, I should be a billionaire three times over by now. I've had emails telling me I've won a few million dollars (US Dollars at that!) and I've had emails telling me that my help was needed in cashing out a few million dollars from some fallen dictators bank account and that for my part in cashing out the few supposedly million dollars I get to keep 80% of it but first I need to give them my bank account details or something like that.

Gee, I wonder if maybe I should actually give them my bank account details. I could be a billionaire, you know. I could even probably buy all of you a personal jet of your own, you know. Maybe even a mansion or two ... LOL! I'm sure all of you would have seen something like this in your inbox every now and then, right?

Aside from the emails telling you about how to obtain fast cash payday loans, how to urrmmm enlarge a certain section of your anatomy and how to get rich quick, I am pretty sure you all would have at some point been propositioned to, won the lottery and probably picked as the lucky recipient to collect a million bucks. All you had to do was either spend some money to get it or give them your banking details or something along those lines ...

Don't these people ever give up? Do they really think everyone is stupid? But then again, I guess for every 1,000 of us who see right through their scams, there is one gullible sucker who will take up the offer. That's what probably encourages them to keep sending these silly, atrocious spelling and grammatically bad emails to us in the hope of hooking on to a gullible sucker.

Wifey and me had a good laugh when I showed her the message. She even said she's received tons of propositions like that too. I just couldn't resist posting it :D Tell me some of the crazy ones you've received. I could sure use a good laugh ... hehehe ... Have a great weekend folks.
