Cyber-baiting

OK - I know this is "off topic" but I thought it is worth posting.

Being a single chap, I occasionally dabble in online dating. Occasionally I am propositioned by some very, very eager young girl, who then casually drops into the conversation that she is in Nigeria. It is at this point that I "play along" and lead them a merry dance. The latest, Theresa sent me this:

"WATS UP TRIED SAVERAL TIMESTO EMAIL YOU BUT NEVER GOT ANY RESPONSE SO WAS KIND OF WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE GONE WRONG?MY MOM IS STILL LAYING CRITICALLY THERE AT THE HOSPITAL WAITING TO BE OPERATED UPON,PLS IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY WAY OR MEANS TO SEND THE MONEY DOWN HERE CAN YOU WRITE OUT A CHECK TO MY FRINED IN LONDON?SHE IS WILLING TO HELP CASH IT AND SEND THE MONEY HERE FOR ME ASAP,,, I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR REPLY ASAP.....PLS REPLY EVEN IF YOU CANT HELP JUST REPLY AND LET ME KNOW..OKAY? TERESA JONES"


Apparently her mother had a car accident and the doctors there suggested that unless Theresa can stump up the cash the leg will have to be removed. Oooh look - the Flying Pig Arrows just did a fly-past......
