funny that no one’s mentioned this yet.

Dating/Introduction Service.

Tired of being alone? Don’t despair, the reason you haven’t found your soul mate is that you are unique, and endowed with special insights, and a deep inner nature.

The FML LOVE BRIDGE ™ will guider you to your life’s true love

Just fill out our 19 page “Head, Heart, Hands” Psycho-Profile, (Processing and evaluation fee just $399.99) and talk to one of our live, online “Romatic Facilitators” (just $5.99 a minute), and with in a week, you will be recieving messages from guys/gals who are into YOU!

So far so scammy, as all I do is randomly pick a bunch of “suitable” candidates and give em your contact info.

But here is where it goes into hyperscam mode.

Using the very personal data gleaned from “your” psycho-profile I have the materials for:\>  
[ul]  
[li]identity theft[/li][li]presorted demographic and financiial info for other scammers, telemarketers and the like (lists sold at premium prices)[/li][li]If you have real resources/money, etc, you might just get a personal letter (from me, but under a different name) custom tailored to you needs from a beautiful/handsome potential mate, who will reveal that they need just $$$$ to fly into your waiting arms…[/li][li]Blackmail (on page 6 of the psycho scam, you told me about what you did with your sister’s husband on that camping trip)[/li][/ul]

the possibilities of what I could do with that information, and zero ethics are huge.  
So don’t be lonely any longer - a wider world of love, happiness and romance awaits you!
