sunshine Juneberry Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 i was two stores today and got the exact same story from two different people.The first one i just thought was was maybe i little self absorbed and that why i didnt get appropriate responses to my responses. The second time, i realized it was automated, especially after i called her a scammer and told her to f&^% off, and she went on and on telling me her problems while complimenting me.maybe its not a scam but tell me if these IM's seem very familiarAV #1 omfg it's been so long!!! How have you beenjust kiddddding we never have met before! Sl takes forever to rez and you're the only person I can see! AV#2 omg how are you, it's been so long since I've seen you!just kiddddding we never have met before! Sl takes forever to rez and you're the only person I can see! Both go onto say how their BF made them leave SL and how theyre starting all over again...OMG did i tell you how nice your av looks, did you do that shape yourself?....and then back their problems, and then get around to asking for 300L$I know people asking for L$ is not that big of a deal, but this is the first time i had seen it automated. To get it twice in the same day at 2 different stores, makes me think someone is running a serious scam. Hopefully no one is falling for it.

KlistiesSeMio Ewinaga Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I got one today, too. I just let it play out and commented "Wow, you are the most long-winded bot I've ever met." and then I blocked it. Not sure why the scammers took this approach, but it's a touch more annoying than the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innula Zenovka Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Via Nalates, the blog Every Second Man has an interview with someone who purports to run the bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laika Ravikumar Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I noticed exactly the same thing a couple of days ago. Two different avis's but exactly the same long winded story about her boyfriend blah blah and how good my avi looked and then the 'of course' can you help me out with money.

Melita Magic Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah there has been a lot of talk about it in the General Discussions forum. It's all a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
