This is NOT a conversation between me and my friend Matthew. It is a conversation between me and someone claiming to be my friend Matthew. Luckily I'm of the generation that still calls mothers at the crack of dawn to verify the location of their sons.
But in all seriousness, please be aware of this fraud tactic. I'll be contacting the FTC and InterPol today.

Same thing with me...LOL...read the comments...she's going to do anything!!!
she is still checking....have you called the embassy to let them know you are in trouble...they might be able to help
5:25amCarl
Do you want me get it wired back once i get back to houston..
I can pay back tomorrow
5:54amCarl
well....I was hoping we could work out some other kind of arraingement...if you catch my meaning....
5:54amJessica
OK i catch you
LOL
Is Bill on the phone with W/U ??
Talking to a rep?
so what did you have in mind for repaying me?
5:57amCarl
Just know i really OWE YOU BIG.
5:57amCarl
hello.....
yeah...I know....but how do you intend to repay me? I have a very fierce sexual appetite
5:58amJessica
Whatever you want..But we need to Hang out First... You know.
5:59amCarl
yeah...that's cool...we could go get a few drinks. I like to maximize my time in the USA...my vacations are very short
so you want to go out when I get home? have a few drinks...unwind....take our clothes off?
6:18amCarl
it would be fun....plus you owe me big time!!!!
6:18amJessica
I don't want to sound so cheap.. But i need to see you first...
Then we will do all together...
6:20amCarl
I can understand that...I don't want you to feel cheap either....if we hadn't dated in high school and weren't such good friends then I am not sure I would be helping....but like I said, I have such a fierce sexual appetite.
Remember that one thing I used to do with my tongue when we were dating?
6:20amJessica
OK i also DO
please don't take me cheap now OK
6:21amCarl
I know for a fact you could calm my urges....so in a way we are just helping each other out...
I'm not taking you for cheap...please don't think so
I respect you greatly
I just like to have a commitment, like I said my time in the USA is short...I'll head back to Iraq shortly after getting home
please don't think that I am disrespecting you
6:23amJessica
It's OK
I'm reading and it's really getting into my head .. I deeply understand your feelings
7:23amCarl
so...how do you want to relive our past? You don't have to worry about paying me back by the way...I figure that having sex like the way we used to is more than payment enough...of course over a week or something...not just one night
7:49amCarl
jsut a few more seconds
7:49amJessica
Are you Kidding me...
7:49amCarl
7:49amCarl
ok you there?
7:50amJessica
Carl i have been here for past 4hrs
Am here...
7:50amCarl
oh...sorry....hey I need you to read this...then tell me what you think
http://zeldabijou.blogspot.com/2009/08/beware-of-fraud-on-facebook.html
7:52amCarl
so did you read it?
7:52amJessica
I know this sounds strange But trust me i won't be asking you for $$ if i really had any options left
7:52amCarl
LOL...that may be true....but pretending isn't going to work....so what is your reaction to reading the scam you just tried to pull on me?
7:53amJessica
GO GO PUNISH YOU
7:54amCarl
Jessica is no longer online. The following was not sent:
thanks....we've tracked you.... (send as a message)
You don't have permission to chat with this person.
thanks for the fun....LOL....it was fun while it lasted....we're tracked your IP address....and I'm reporting you to the authorities
Just got the same thing myself. I think pretending I was Amish and saying I would have to make the payment in chickens is what finally caused them to give up.
