Perhaps my single readers would be interested in this tip for finding your soulmate.
Register at a forum. The example I am using is AZ Central, but I hardly think these poor lonely, lost souls trawling the internet are limiting their search to our local news site.
I registered at AZ Central a while back to comment on some story or other. Today I received this:
Someone found your profile on azcentral.com and wanted to tell you the following:"Dearest One, My name is jessy ,i saw your profile today and became intrested in you,i will also like to know you the more,and i want you to send an email to my email address so i can give you my picture for you to know whom i am.Here is my email address( jessylove_xx@xxxx.xxx) i believe we can move from here.I am waiting for your mail to my email address above.Miss jessy Remeber the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life. Yours Love Miss jessy jessylove_xx@xxxx.xxx "
Geez, if I wasn't already involved it might be difficult to pass up a come on like that - you know, leaving aside the whole gender issue. [/sarcasm]
Obviously this is some fake come on fronting someone who "just needs a few hundred/thousand dollars to get out of Kenya/Nairobi/London and then we can be together forever" I can't believe they are bothering to sign up on an Arizona newspaper site to do this.
I also can't believe there are actually people out there who respond to this stuff...let alone get suckered into sending cash.
