I was stupid enough to accept a friend request from a Malay chap. His profile [and he] looked harmless. And I was in a compassionate mood - he was new to facebook and had like 5 friends at that time. Kesianlah konon!
So when he pm me, I responded politely - he was polite too. Things took a strange turn a few pm later. For some strange reason, he thought that we would be good together. Now, I'm used to getting the regular, "Hi pretty! You look beautiful and like a person I could love for the rest of my life..." which I'd totally ignore. This chap didn't write anything like this - just the regular pen-pal kinda messages of "how are you, what are your interests". So I thought that he was just being friendly.
Anyway, somewhere along the way he had this idea that we'd be good together blah blah blah. I quickly told him that since I don't know him from Adam, it didn't seem possible at this juncture. Here's where it gets interesting. He suddenly went into drama king mode and accused me of stringing him along. This....[if I were to believe his profile info] from a guy in his 40s, who professed to be an engineer and has lived in UK for the last 3 decades. I would think he'd understand enough English to notice that I wasn't in the least skewed that way toward him.
So I'm wondering if the Nigerians are getting better at their scams [good English and all], or this poor chap has been drinking water laced with LSD......
