You think EBAY is any different? How many of those "Hey, Let me Send you PIX OF ME" ads are actually from MEN? MEN who simply download a set of amateur pix and pretend to be that girl? To gyp some fool out of $25?"
Looks like a girl sold her amateur photos, doesn't it?
Unsuspecting, desperate guys scan those "DAY IN MY LIFE" ads and pick the girl they think is sexiest.
Did you notice that the seller name was the SAME in EVERY ad?
Few do. This is why con artists keep crawling back even after they get stopped. It's technically illegal to offer "personal relationships" on the site, but if nobody reports the auction, or a particular EBAY employee checking complaints that day doesn't consider selling dirty photos a "relationship," a sale can be made.
It's also technically illegal to offer "digital downloads" or e-mailed items, but again, sellers count on sneaking these things through because thousands of auctions are posted every second.
Easy money. If you live in some low-rent trailer park in the South somewhere, you can pay your rent AND have plenty of beer money off EBAY SUCKERS. WOW! Download some chick's pix off 4Chan or some forum or other, pretend to be the girl, and it's an easy $10 or $25 or even $50 just for e-mailing a set of jpgs, or offering a download link. HAR HAR HAR.
The ad copy does NOT actually SAY "Me" in those brief sentences. It doesn't say "I am the sexy girl in the photo and I will email you pictures of me."
Oh, the fun you can have manipulating words and making a desperate fool THINK he's reading a real girl's ad. The fool buys, thinking he's connecting with a hot amateur. What's the next step? "I'll write you hot emails, at $50 each." "I'll send you garments I've worn for $50 or $100." Maybe "Meet me in a hotel and bring along plenty of money."
Yes, it's a headline waiting to happen: MAN ROBBED AND MURDERED...in a hotel, or at home...and the cops might never even notice the winning EBAY auction that led to it. But let's think happy thoughts. Like, EBAY ads are all from genuine women.
