So I got this in my inbox today... It's interesting because it's extremely personal..I'm debating on whether or not its real... (using standard heuristics for email validity)Not that I'm hoping its real, I'm not THAT desperate (but I am on match.comhehe)
The things I find peculiar or interesting to note are bold and highlighted in red.Email addresses and story don't match, sending computer looks to be a standard *nixbox that isn't configured for a network (highly unlikely), and the phone # is 8digits (too short, add area code makes it too long)

Hello there
Did you get my last email?
I saw your ad on match.com and thought I would write.
Moving here is a new experience for me as I just moved near Chanhassen from Coloradoabout a month ago andI must say I really like it here.
I haven't met anyone yet, except for my roomate who moved here a while back. She's madesome friends through the internet and she says there's a lot of nice people I might likehere.
I don't have an email connection yet so I am using my friends. I am generally a happyperson. I spend alot of time with my family members, volunteering around the community,and with kids. I love reading, renting movies and playing cards.
My roomate Christine thought I should email you and she showed me how to send it but nowIcan't figure out how to attach my picture here. Christine attached my picture onGetyourfriendlymatch.com. You can locate my number 2986262. If it interests you, you cancall me on my cell phone tomorrow at 65251418I am really laid back andeasy going. I am honest, a good listener, love to talk and learn about new things.Outgoing, love to have fun and see others having a good time.
Any way we can talk and see what we have in common and maybe get together if you wouldlike to. Bye,
Janie
P.S.
Hope you can call.
I don't know if we'll be using this address anymore so call me and let's see where itgoes. |
