This cartoon could be me. At least once a week, I get a Friend request from a beautiful young woman - often foreign. Her FB page is virtually empty, but she wants to be my friend.

Bunko.T Loc: Western Australia.

Yeah, I've had requests from women in USA. I've replied to one or two, what does Young, presumably beautiful lookers, want with an old 76 year old Aussie guy, on the other side of the world??
Not the pretties guy at that, but I give good conversation, & don't take shit from anyone.
Good luck.

Bunko,
I know what you mean! Even as a FEMALE, several months ago, I was getting LOTS of SPAM "solicitation" emails somehow making it into my inbox, from websites I never visit! And SOME of the emails very clearly and
blatantly were regarding 99% underage girls!
Creepy!

Then, I also had guys,( like you mentioned) the likes of which would not be interested in this senior body, except to scam. Same thing,
Check their Facebook page to or info on them, and very little to no info on their page!

These times especially, keep it up Bunko, take NO BS from anyone!

Just wanted to reiterate you are not alone with these emails, Facebook's...

Hope I get up visit your beautiful country someday!😊
Best wishes,
PhotoNat

Watch Dr Phil, most of these are fake scammers looking to rip people off.

Back to the cartoon, I don't think it is what you did to them, but what they want to do to YOU! lol

I don't have enough money for them to be interested.

A wealthy friend married a Russian woman. She was about his age and a scientist. His kids weren't happy about it because they saw their inheritance evaporating.

I have learned relatively lately, that I have grandchildren all over this country (USA) and they are constantly having car accidents. The accidents always involve running into a vehicle in front of them and breaking their nose. And that's why their voice may sound strange to me. They are on their way home from a party, wedding, or some social gathering and yes, they did have a couple of glasses of wine. Now they are in jail, need money to get out and will give me the name of their lawyer who will be calling me shortly. The lawyer will tell me how much money is needed to get my grandchild out of jail, etc. I am to send the money to him via such and such a method. At this point I usually interject that I am aware that this is a scam and instruct them to put their head between their legs and shove their nose up where the sun does not shine. I once congratulated the "grandchild" that he did a fine job of acting out his part. He laughed and said I did pretty good also. Oh yes, the IRS and the Social Security Administration are after me and I have won the Publishing Clearing House lottery numerous times.

If it is not a robo recorded call and it is a live caller, this assists "in making my day."

Had the "Help Grandson" call, he was in Mexico and needed $400.00 to get out. Funny thing was I had talked to my grandson in collage @ Cincinnati U. 2 hours before. Kept the fake one on the line for 10 minutes. Oh yes there are 30 wild, hot women near me who what to have "HOT" times. Checked one out she was in Texas, CLOSE ?? I live in Ohio. My LOL.

You’re simply a popular guy, Jerry. 😎

I take these tempting emails, Facebook feeds as attempts to insert means to enter my computer/devices. So I always think twice before biting. I always keep my internet mouth closed.

I wonder how successful that scam is. I've heard about people getting emails asking for money.

Jerry!

Look at what appears above your posting and throughout the thread! Target advertising that often appears when we search or follow a particular website. Screen capture attached.

Be well!

I'm in the same boat as BONKO.T. All these babes do is play you for awhile, don't know you, yet they're in love with you, but want you to send them a Google card or money for one of a million reasons (none of which are real). I'm playing one right now! Her latest thing is that she's in Mexico and coming back to the States from a doctors tour in Iraq. She supposedly bought two small bars of gold and wants to send them to me so I can sell them for her and I. BUT she needs $12,000.00 so she can pay lawyer fees, hotel bill, send the gold and airfare to me. Just three months ago she sold the business she and her deceased husband had and got $3,300,00.00 dollars for (sold 2 airplanes). I haven't asked her what she did with the money from the sale of the business yet, but I do have a small "pool" going as to what her reply will be. I too am a bit older, 72, but I'm very street smart to these women, but it's fun taking their game back to them. What can I say? Some women don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. At least I know that a hole in the ground usually has grass around it!!!!!!!
