So today I got one of those "seeking a God-fearing woman" scam mails on MySpace.
Top five signs it was a scam:
5. Horrible spelling -- seriously, when you can't spell "lady" there is a problem.
4. Sentences that make no sense whatsoever -- it's as if they ripped a book into pieces and threw random lines on a sheet of paper and said "Yeah, that works!"
3. Yahoo e-mail addresses in a MySpace message -- why wouldn't they just take your replies at their MySpace inbox, instead of giving you the Yahoo address?
2. The profile only has one or two photos, sometimes the same photo twice. All photos are exactly the same size.
1. The top "tell" that it was a scammer? The phone number they give you is 13 digits and starts with "234" -- 234 is the long distance country code for Nigeria.
