I just saw that some guy in Ghana who's 27 emailed my defunct jdate account. That's not the weird part; his username is: bigdik4u8087.
Um, that doesn't entice me.

What's weird about that? I get about four of those a day. Welcome to the internet.

Yeah, but this was more personal than spam. It was via a dating website and he emailed me there. I can't see what he said, but it may be just the thing for me to re-subscribe.

You should let the jdate admin people know--they can suspend the profile of the person who sent it.

That's a good idea, but they won't email me at my yahoo address when they respond to requests....I'd have to re-subscribe!

"I was gonna use protection, but then I thought hey, when am I going to be back in Ghana?"

So JDate is spamming you then. If you are not subscribed and JDate is forwarding messages.

I think so. You think that's fraud? Could I report them?
Posted by tgl on 2005-12-19 19:13:14 +0000
I think that's the internet.

What? Tricking people into paying you money for services you don't need or want?
Posted by tgl on 2005-12-19 19:20:21 +0000
D'uh! Yes! A winner!

Miriam. Let it go. You are wasting time.
Posted by Miriam on 2005-12-19 23:59:15 +0000
I think he's wasting time...making shit up!
Posted by frame609 on 2005-12-20 00:10:12 +0000
Let it go.

The whole idea of jdate...or just this dude? I can definitely let the dude go.
I should get out more. Oh, well. Off to make dinner.
