Care for a Female Escort?

Okay, so you remember when I told you why I switched to this blog, versus MySpace? Well, if you don't, one of the reasons was I was getting, ah, unusual propositions there. I decided to share one with you, only this one has a slight twist: I fell for it. That's right, I fell for it. It started out innocently enough. And, to be fair, it still could be. But, somehow I doubt it. And after reading on, I'm sure you'll feel the same way, too.

I received the following letter in my MySpace mailbox:

From: XXX
To: ME
Date: Oct 20, 2005 2:04AM
Subject: hi...

hey Jason I like your profile and would really like to talk some more or meet up if you'd like...I check my e-mail all the time, so get me there at XXX@hotmail.com...hope to talk soon!

love XXXXX :)

Seems innocent enough, right? Well, I'll admit the "love" part struck me as a bit odd. But, "when in Rome," right? I figured, I'm here in England, and my closest American friends are in London, so it'd be nice to hear a familiar accent.

So I shoot back this:

To: ME
From: XXX@hotmail.com
Date:Oct 20, 2005 3:15 PM
Subject: MySpace

Hey there, XXX. I, too, am here for a limited amount of time. Feel free to use this address.

While I keep fairly busy (sometimes too damn busy) with work, my writing, and my photography, I still like to get out and explore. Besides, it gives me something to photograph, and write about.

Take Care,Jason

Now, pay attention, because this is where it goes weird. Suddenly you find yourself thrust into the world of...PORN!

Hey, I was glad to hear back from you, and I would definitely be into getting together sometime soon. I am pretty open and usually available most times. You should check out my newest personal http://www.passionatetips.com/XXX. My profile is listed inside the site under "backdoorgirl2"

I decided to post my personal info (i.e. phone # and my email address) on this site for 3 simple reasons. 1) It’s DISCREET 2) I never have to worry about being contacted by children since only adults are allowed in the site, and 3) I know all the replies I get are genuine.

So anyway, I really do hope to meet up with you…..and let’s make it soon.

Talk later,XXX

"Open and Available???" "DISCREET???" Oh, and my favorite: "backdoorgirl2." Makes you wonder who "backdoorgirl1" is, doesn't it? If it's you, call me. I miss you. "...and let's make it soon." So I reply. I know, I know. But what if I'm wrong? I'd never forgive myself if I pegged her wrong. Heh, I said, "pegged her wrong." How could I do that to backdoorgirl? 2, that is. I'm all over backdoorgirl1. But, more to the point, I'd never forgive myself if I didn't finish this.

Anyway, here's that email:

Whoah, I think I may have completely misunderstood your email.

I'm always interested in making friends and seeing England but, judging from some of the photos on that site, and your login name, and the fact that it charges money to verify my age," I'm can only assume you're looking for making something else and seeing a side of me which I normally reserve for serious relationships or dancing in front of the mirror. I'm really not in need of an escort.

I apologize if I've taken anything out of context, but you really can't fault me for that. If I have, feel free to correct me. Again, sorry.

Take Care,Jason

I sent it to both addresses, just to be sure she got it. I wanted to see this thing through to the end. I couldn't resist.

When suddenly I get this:

From: postmaster@hotmail.com

Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure)

YYY@hotmail.com

Diagnostic-Code: smtp;552 5.2.2 This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full. Create a shorter message body or remove attachments and try sending it again.

Notice how it was from Hotmail, but for a completely different address. Must be one linked to meetgirlnow.com or passiontips.com or something. Weird. I'm so excited!

Tell me what you think is going to happen. I'm curious.
