WSO is not Match.com

I sign on to the site today and see a message in my inbox. This is what it says:

"Hello My name is miss Sylvia.i saw your profile today on(www.wallstreetoasis.com) and became intrested in you,i will also like to know more about you,and i want you to send a mail to my email address so that i can give you my picture for you to know whom l am.Here is my email address ([email protected]) .i believe we can move from here.I am waiting for your mail to my email address above.Remeber the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life) please send me mail to my e mail address.

WallStreetOasis.comsorry guys - I got it as well...may have to put a captcha on private messages to prevent this if it happens again.

junkbondswapPatrick,

You should set up a spin-off dating website based on over-worked/under-sexed finance professionals in NYC. It would be like J-date + Match + that Madison website that arranges extra-marital affairs. Shts gonna be a hit.

I really like this idea Patrick. You could call it WallStreetDating.com, I think it would do really well.

 

let's be honest here "King," you thought the spam was an actual email, then you realized that they stole your money, it was all a scam and your heart was broken. it happens bud.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
