Does This Actually Work?

I assume that most people are familiar enough with facebook to know how friend requests work. So I have no idea why this ad is trying to pretend to be some sort of

spammy slut ad. It's immediately obvious to any fool that it's not a genuine facebook friend request ... and yes, I did click it just to see where it led me.

And I can't imagine that it would get many hits. Once again, I am making assumptions here, but I assume that most people wouldn't click on it just on principal; how good can something be if it has to try and pretend to be a spammy slut ad?

That to me just screams "This product is actually crap! Very crap." And I can't be alone in thinking that.

So, I'm sorry, cupid.com. I'm sure you provide a premium online dating service ... actually, no, I don't. As I've already said, you're ad has convinced me otherwise.

My Hurt Psychic Inbox Spammer

So I've been recieving spam emails from this pyschic called Tara. I have no idea how the hell she managed to get my email address. All I know is that she did, and she has been busy spamming my inbox.

Until today, I have just ignored her emails and deleted them straight away.

But today I saw an email from her with the subject line, "I'm very worried about you, Emma."

This was too much for my curiosity. I just had to read what she had to say.

This is what she wrote;

I don’t understand your silence, Emma. Faced with what is certainly the chance of a lifetime, you still haven’t reacted. And yet I know you’re someone who faces up to your problems and never stops fighting.

You proved that many times in the past, and even today you’re bravely trying to deal with things in your life.
But all that is in the process of changing, Emma.

You’re caught in a spider’s web, and the more you struggle the more entangled you become. You can’t resolve things by yourself, but even as I stretch out my helping hand, you refuse to take hold of it.

Believe me, Emma, what I saw about your future leaves no doubt. Together we can get rid of the negative veil that is ruining your life. Then you’ll be able grasp all the wonderful gifts the cosmic forces have reserved for you with both hands, and finally attain the happiness you deserve.

I beg you, Emma, before it’s too late, act now!

Important: I won’t write you again about this, Emma. This is your last chance!

What do you think?

I think she's actually a little offended and hurt that I haven't reached back and taken her hand. And it certainly gave me a laugh when I read it ... it's still giving me a laugh.

But I guess it has also achieved her purpose. It has caught my attention, and now I'm intrigued about what she has say about what's in store for me ... and how I can untangle myself from these evils.

I might just reach back to her just for laughs.

Unless I'm required to pay. I'm nowhere interested enough to pay to hear all about my doom unless I do something (that will most likely be super expensive as well) to change my fate, if fate can be changed at all.
