It’s Friday and I’m soooooo ready for the weekend to begin. As you can see from the number of posts this week I either (1) felt guilty for going almost a week without doing anything last time or (2) the hangovers are coming faster and faster.
This my dears, will be brief and while it is not my intent to offend anyone who may be, is related to, dated one or is currently working on a scam to take all of your money if you send them your credit card information for a great deal BUT, Nigerians and the Internet are notoriously annoying!
I mean really. It doesn’t matter how good your e-mail Spam filter is, there’s always one message that squeezes through and the giveaway for me is normally some funky sender address, poor spelling or someone saying “cos” instead of “because”. Sorry to my Canadian peeps, I know this is your phrase as well.
With that being said (and I wish I could have copied the image), here’s the message I received from someone on Facebook this morning with the last name of Friday. Yeah, I’m using the actual last name because if you search you’ll find this name appears a few times on there and the pictures all look uh… the same. Just screaming Nigerian scammer to me, SO here it is, pardon me while I throw up reading the “angel” part and yes, true stuff because I swear, I can’t make it up if I tried:
I sometime imagine if there were still beautiful ladies out there as you are and never imagined to meet one anywhere not even on here until now, what a beautiful lady you are, looking at your picture makes me think if you were ever born of a woman, cos I think you are a clone of an angel.
I think my becoming a member of this site has finally completed its cause, I enrolled on here in search of my soul mate, my female replica definitely for a very serious relationship and now that I have seen your profile and your pic, I think my search has come to an end.
I am Victor Friday, from Nigeria, dark in complexion, 5ft 7inch tall, very romantic and know how to treat a lady like you. You are free to check out my profile and know more about me. I would want you to do me a favour by giving me the opportunity to get to know you better.
I would really want to hear from you
Lots of Love,
Victor Friday

I never get unsolicited messages on Facebook – I feel like I’m missing out now! I get email scam messages but often they’re quite poorly-written and part of me wants to reply with “Come on guys – put some more effort in! I know you can do better than this!”
Missing out? Ha! Trust me, their female counterparts are out there as well. They b efriend you then ask for some money to rescue her sister from a flood ravaged town. Lol
Hahahaha! Are you fricking serious???
Yes Jessie, I wish I was kidding. My luck! =0
And….
When is your first date?
You could be Mrs. Friday! That’s worth it, right!?
Caleb
Is this what I have to do to become a Mrs., hook up with Credit Card specialists? Get that coveted hyphenated name, I gotta chat with Friday??? Hmmm…..
