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. Please reply me with my email address here
What the hell is going on around here? What happened to this site?
If bankers don't come to the girls, the girls come to the bankers.
You definitely weren't the only one that got that. Looks like the spambots came by for a visit.
Received the same PM.
The eHarmony Troll
I think everyone got that. The IP should probably be blocked.
I didn't get it :( haha. My friend did, really weird.
Hey guys lets not jump to conclusions. Lets allow Sylvia to explain herself, she could be a value contributor to the site.
She probably has some new insightful rankings of target schools and also the BB's
OMG I THOUGHT SHE HAD CHOSEN ME sob
sorry guys - I got it as well...may have to put a captcha on private messages to prevent this if it happens again.
PLEASE DON'T!
I absolutely despise captcha because half the time I can't actually read the stupid letters and end up attempting 3 times and then giving up.
Instead of captcha, you can have a question like rank the following in order of prestige. WSO monkeys will do better on that.
I got it and responded. We're going on a date Saturday.
What?!?! She told me Saturday as well...that cheating whore.
I also got one. Looks like Sylvia swings both ways.
I'm rather unimpressed that these PMs aren't customized. Like a crappy one-size-fits-all cover letter. She should know this kind of shit doesn't swing here.
Hey, where's my PM?
;(
Patrick,
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.
If there is to be a captcha style thing, it ought to be like ZeroHedge's. Ask a simple enough math problem and it will eliminate the bots.
Ha, I got that pm too. "Love transcend all races.."
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.
:-(
Got the same PM. I feel like I hardly knew her, and she's already out of my life...
Come on guys! She's a nice lady!
