I need a favor from you. I would have loved to give you a call now however can&#8217;t get to call right now, Kindly let me know if you are Online..<br \/>\nAwait Your Reply..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Sure, what do you need?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Him:<\/strong><br \/>\nThanks for your response, I need to get google play gift Cards for my nephew, it&#8217;s his birthday today and I totally forgot I can&#8217;t do this now because I&#8217;m currently on a short trip. can you help get from any store around you? l&#8217;ll pay you as soon as I am back. kindly let me know if you can handle this.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Him:<\/strong><br \/>\nThanks so much. Total amount needed is $300 in ($100 increment). Please I will need you to scratch the back of the card to reveal the pin, then take a snap shot of the back showing the pin and have them email to me and I can forward to him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong><br \/>\nOK. What is google play exactly and where do I find a store?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Him:<\/strong><br \/>\nGoogle play is a card that is use to download online applications, You can get the cards at any grocery store or pharmacy around you. Just keep me posted once you find it, Okay?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<br \/>\n<\/strong>I don\u2019t have my car at the moment. Can you give me a ride to the store so I can pick up a Poodle Play Card for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Him:<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m not around to do this that what I&#8217;m saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong><br \/>\nOh, sorry. Where are you then?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Him:<br \/>\n<\/strong>I went on a short trip and I will be back tommorow noon to pay you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong><br \/>\nAh, OK, got it. Truth is, Gretta, I\u2019m a bit short on cash at the moment but if you give me your credit card number, expiry and PIN, I should be able to get round to the grocery store this afternoon to pick up a Poodle Play Card for you.<\/p>\n<p>And\u2026.. no answer. This fellow, neither very bright nor imaginative, was probably a drone working on commission for a criminal organisation. The only favourable thing I can say about him is that he didn&#8217;t end up swearing at me. That&#8217;s what usually happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend recently had her email password stolen by an Internet thief who promptly proceeded to email everyone on her contact list.
