With all the recent hoopla around MySpace I signed up a week or two ago and then forgot about it. Today I read in the news that News Corp. has been cleaning up MySpace by removing 200,000 or so sketchy profiles. So I logged in to see what had happened and whether my account was still there :-)
Below, you can see what I found in my inbox. (This is after the cleanup!) Mary, Kane, etc. are all devout Christian women, single, looking for the love of their life, which they think they may have found in me. Best of all, however, they are all U.S. citizens, are all currently broke, and all live in Nigeria. I didn't contact them but I'm pretty sure they would have asked for travel money soon...
Also, at the bottom, you can see that "Tom is my friend." Tom is the founder of MySpace, and everyone who joins MySpace gets connected to him right away. On that note, amusingly enough, I recently saw a woman wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "Tom is not my friend." Hehe, way to go, MySpace.
PS: Well... it seems MySpace is making money of this. Here is the MySpace home page when I was tricked back there by a funny email. Wondergrrrl looks awfully computer-generated to me.
