(This threw me for a bit, until I realised that he was going off my IM pic — I swap out several pics of various RealDolls for my avatar. Matt McMullen, 1 – james1online, 0)
[01.28.08 PM] kuroneko_23: That means absolutely nothing.

[01.30.33 PM] kuroneko_23: I am at home.
And you don’t know anything about me, and you want to be my friend? Are you that desperate and/or starved for attention that you’ll attempt to befriend anyone at random on the Internet, despite the fact that every other sentence you get from them is insulting?
[01.30.37 PM] kuroneko_23: You dumb cunt?

[01.41.04 PM] kuroneko_23: Send me your address.
[01.41.08 PM] kuroneko_23: Send it to me now.
[01.41.12 PM] kuroneko_23: Now, james.
[01.41.23 PM] kuroneko_23: Don’t be a cakefucker, and do what I say, james.
[01.41.33 PM] kuroneko_23: Send me your info now.
[01.41.34 PM] james1online: ok
[01.41.36 PM] kuroneko_23: Now.

[01.41.49 PM] james1online: give it to me
[01.42.02 PM] kuroneko_23: You first james, or I’m ending this conversation.
[01.42.17 PM] kuroneko_23: You want me to cash that cheque for you, james?
[01.42.18 PM] james1online: u see
[01.42.34 PM] kuroneko_23: Yes or no, james? Do you want me to cash that cheque?
[01.42.49 PM] james1online: right now am in africa and i need ur help
(Hey! Didn’t you just say you were in the States? YOU SIR, ARE AN INTERNET LIAR)
[01.42.49 PM] james1online: yes
[01.43.03 PM] kuroneko_23: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
[01.43.09 PM] kuroneko_23: You’re one of THEM.
[01.43.18 PM] kuroneko_23: Robert Mugabe?
(At this point, I kenned that this was the IM version of the old-as-the-Internet-itself fraud of ‘some bloke in Africa wants you to help him out by sending him some money, and in return, he’ll send you $3 billion/access to oil fields/untold riches/etc.‘ I couldn’t remember the name that a lot of the scammers use, but ‘Robert Mugabe’ popped into my head. Plus, since Trillian has insta-access to Wikipedia, as soon as I typed that name, it showed me an entry for Mr Mugabe, who is, as far as I know, not a scammer)
[01.43.39 PM] james1online: and i willl give to some out the it 300
[01.43.39 PM] james1online: no]
[01.43.44 PM] james1online: am james walker
(James Walker was apparently someone involved with the government of an African nation. The Wiki entry I got from Trillian was different than the one you get when you go directly to their site)
[01.43.55 PM] kuroneko_23: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
[01.44.00 PM] kuroneko_23: Great!
[01.44.06 PM] james1online: *DING*
[01.44.07 PM] kuroneko_23: Can you do me a favour, james?
[01.44.19 PM] kuroneko_23: Just one favour?
[01.44.20 PM] james1online: yes
[01.44.35 PM] james1online: yes
[01.44.37 PM] kuroneko_23: GO CHOKE ON A COCK, CRAWL INTO A DITCH AND DIE, YOU WASTE OF FLESH.
[01.44.39 PM] *** james1online has been ignored.

    This shit is why I stopped using MSN, AIM, YIM, and ICQ for the most part…

    Remember kids: Don’t talk to strangers on the inter-web, the intar-webs, inter-butt, or internet.

    What about the InfoBahn? Or Teh Intarwub? IS NO PLACE SAFE??!

  5. SafeTinspector writes:

    KQ: But…but that was fun! You deprive yourself of fun!

    DC: Ok, I loved the use of the word ‘cakefucker’. I’m adding that to my apendices, can you please provide a definition if it varies from the root words?

    The scam you speak of is a Nigerian 419 scam. Click HERE for details.

    That was funny as hell.

  6. Zip Gun writes:

    That sort of thing is why my messenger programs are set to strictly keep out anyone not on my contacts list. Very funny nonetheless though.

  7. Wanda writes:

    Bwahahahahahahahahahhahah…hahaha…hah….ha…h a. Ahem.

    Dat wuz jes too dayum fun nee, Daveeeee!

    That’s even better than the guy I met in chat who wanted to fly to Chicago and give him a blow job. Oh, shore, honey. Me do dat. AS EFFING IF!

    Morons. Morons, DC, we’re surrounded by morons….

  8. Davecat writes:

    Wanda –
    Was he at least willing to pay for the planetickets? I would’ve flown out there, and just not stopped round to his. You know, maybe see the Sears Tower or something. All on his dime!

    Zip Gun
    Yeah, it’s weird. All I ever get from YIM, apart from like three people on my contact list, are spambots, and that’s usualy rare. So it’s double-rare that an actual 419 scammer contacted me! I feel Truly Honoured.

    SafeT
    I can’t remember where I appropriated ‘cakefucker’ from exactly, but it’s just so Chris Morris-esque that it begs to be adopted into everyone’s sweary lexicons..
