What in the name of the pope's pencil was that PM about?

Asked by ucme (50047points) January 31st, 2013

Had some bloody strange PM’s from time to time, but this last one takes the bloody biscuit!!
Clearly spam & has since been removed, but who else got one?
For those that didn’t, it suggested I should claim $4 million as a victim of some half-arsed scam…really weird.

@Symbeline Normally I don’t get them, that’s an arrangement i’m more than happy with.

It was my first spam PM… and so will always claim a piece of my heart.

Yeah I often hear about fucked up PM’s left by a spammer that many people get, but it’s been a looooong time since I ever got one. Good to know they get eradicated pretty fast.

last one wanted to exchange my soul for frozen soup in an act on unholy asstrimony

I don’t get a cut of the $4 million either. She didn’t write to me. Oh well…

glacial's avatar

Too bad they approved “glacial” for payment. I’d have had a tough time cashing that cheque.

Berserker's avatar

Also, the Pope can’t wield a pencil. Too many rings on his fingers, he can’t move his hands.

@Symbeline I think he may have had a different sort of pencil in mind.

Berserker's avatar

You’re all pervs, ya heard?! :p

FutureMemory's avatar

Thanks @ETpro for posting that.

What a lame scam letter. They can’t even bother to capitalize?

ucme's avatar

I like pencils, they’re cool.
Not sure why anyone would take the time to write that shite & post it to random strangers on the tinterwebz…sad life.

ETpro's avatar

@FutureMemory Every scam letter I have ever gotten has been equally absurd. That’s deliberate. It immediately filters out the people intelligent enough to see through such drivel, and reels in only the truly guileless suckers they want.
