Best case scenario: She's a bot for a porn site

Worst case scenario: She's a real orphan, with 7.5 tons of emotional baggage.

Best Case scenario: She is an international supermodel discovered as an orphan from brazil who barely speaks any english, has lots of money, and drop dead looks, and feels to intiminated and overcrowded by jerks when she goes out to the bars to meet people and they found out what she does, so she tries to meet people online over craigslist and lies about her profession.















Oh, and she has a penis.

You're kidding, right? :confused:

No. It doesn't look like a message a bot would send-- why would an advertiser talk about being a civil engineer and an orphan? It looks like a person with not so good grammar skills making conversation.

Sign up for MySpace or something, you will see a whole new world of spam.

It's not for real.

1) No civil engineer and contractor named Anne McCarthy would capitalize "Civil Engineer" and "Contractor".

2) The language "for real, honest, trustworthy and yours?" isn't good English, and helps with #1 to show that the writer is foreign, or perhaps a bot.

3) Ditto for "Do u have a chatting tools?." and other odd errors that an English speaker wouldn't be likely to make.

Nigerians

Agreed, but what are they going to do? Say "I can't make our date tonight, I have to work at my Civil Engineering and Contracting job. To show that you love me, deposit the $150.00 you would have spent on dinner in the Nigerian National Bank, Account No. 321908321123?"

I also agree this is a Nigerian.

I don't see why the grammar automatically leads people to think it's a Nigerian. I see worse grammar on ATOT daily.
