Wow ... looks like a great opportunity to meet someone who shares all my values, including a love for horrific spelling and grammar :-)

A quick check of her profile takes me aback though ...


Duh .... duh ... stammer ... stammer .....

Ok, so this is a science with some people. What this is is not an invitation to the next stage in your life, but an invitation to get spammed to the gills. Facebook spam is about connecting people to other networks and applications ... and somewhere in the mix is the ability for someone out there to wring some cash out of you eventually.

There are articles on it around the net ... look for them if you are interested. But for heaven's sake ... despite the obvious charms of the offer (especially had it been written in something approaching English), do not friend these people. Instead, consider reporting the message as spam ... her profile is as fake as the day is long ...

Too bad, though :-)
