Chatting with Goldfish

[zesty_pinto]

Actually, that's an insult to goldfish, since it's proven that they do learn. This person, on the other hand, has no memory. In fact, it was likely some scam that tried to get some naive undersexed idiot to take part in some 419 bit. The person is from Holland and contacted me on Yahoo Personals for someone to talk to. Oh boy, did they just get that.

At the time, I was typing up a reply via email. The person didn't seem to be a spammer like the last person I dealt with on Personals, so I figured it was worthwhile. By that time, I realize that my list got friended.
