We've all gotten them.. Those get rich quick e-mails from Africa.. Well I have a knack for having them find me in chat and I have a hobby.. tormenting them.. stringing them along making them look foolish and publishing it here for all to see.. Who knew scams could be so funny

C'est bon! Mon Scammer Francaise

Now I don't speak a lot of French, a couple of years of high school French and a year in college, so I quickly get in over my head in conversation. But I'm getting to the point where I can smell a scam artist and anyway my response was in French :That's good! I only speak a little French. Not bad 10 seconds and caught in lie number one. It might be a record for me. She quickly moved to England and was only working in Paris. She was now from Leeds near London. Well there is a Leeds not that far from London in Kent, so I specifically asked if she was from Yorkshire. Lie #2 and the conversation is not five minutes old. This one I needed to cut short because she wanted to call me. We had an interesting banter about phone numbers and as you read our dialogue, she left and came back after providing me with a phone number in Afghanistan! The last thing I wanted was getting phone calls at all hours of the day or night....though I was half tempted just to hear a phone spiel.

So without further ado is my French... Err Yorkshire... Err god knows where model friend!

terresabeauty: you must be fraudster as well

me: you don't know where leeds is

terresabeauty: yorkshire of course

me: you don't know a single word of French even though you're in france

me: but you told me you were from London

me: no one from yokrshire would say london

terresabeauty: i said i am an english girl

terresabeauty: how?

me: you're really vague about where you are in france

terresabeauty: i think you are getting me bored

terresabeauty: i have to go

me: plus if you are only visiting france you'd just use your english mobile

me: yup african scam artist

me: it's a hobby of mine... trapping them and exposing them

terresabeauty: trapping who and exposing who?

me: so how much to you make off of lonely guys?

me: scam artists

me: it was only a matter of time before you hit me up for money.... but you don't like to put it in writing...

me: you want it by phone so it's harder to trace

me: I have a web page where I post all these scams...

me: but you were disappointing frankly

me: the afghanistan mobile number is kind of funny but otherwise you were pretty boring

me: see you gave away you were african when you used the word fraudster it's not used widely in England

me: guess you don't want to play any more
