Hey you guys! My name is Miss Happy and I saw your profile and...nevermind...

 

Anywho, fortunately for me Miss Joy didn`t seek to honor me with her/his communcation, but I just saw an article relating to internet/credit card fraud that may be relevant.

 

The article centered around thias poor fellow, who after receiving a love interest e-mail from "Miss Joy, Wonderwoman, can`t remember her name.." began an online relationship during which she sent pictures (risque & such) or "herself" for poor fellow`s enjoyment. Somehow she convinced him to purchase items online with his credit cards, bank cards, etc. for her "business" and even had the guy repackaging them and shipping them off to Nigeria.

 

Anyhow, it turned out to be a fraud (NO WAY!) and poor fellow was now really poor AND brokenhearted.

 

I guess those e-mails from the Prime Minister of Lagos weren`t cutting it anymore! Beware single men, Miss Joy wants to be your friend!
