"This look is for all the naive people out there. Some humans have it to spare."
The cat watched a conversation that Pat had. I knew I had to use it at my pad. It was just too fun not too. Are you ready to have it in view? Warning! Naïve people may take the bait. Or those hard up for a date.
But but but
Comes the rut.
Stuck in a way.
Belief won't stray.
"I'm a 55 years young grandmother with a sports car, eight grand kids, and a dog named Fluffy. I am seeking a man who just wants to have fun in their later years in life. Nothing too clingy. Just fun. I hope to hear from you soon."
But but but
Still in the rut.
It takes too much work.
23 seconds, that's work with a perk.
"I'm an ostrich out for a stroll that wants to stick my head in your bed. Won't you let me do that? It would be mighty fun."
But but but
Wait. Can an ostrich strut?
Focusing on the wrong thing.
That's gotta sting.
"I have so many things for sale. I just need your credit card number and then you can see them all. I am sure you will love them and everything is half price. I do this just for you because you are so special."
But but but.
Can we end this rut?
You want to buy from the nut?
My turn...but but but.
"I'm a stay at home mom and I have 3 kids with one on the way. I have it hard and would love it if you follow me back. I just get all giddy when I get a follow back. I want you to know that you are the best for following me back. Now won't you help me by buying my product and watching my videos? My offshore bank account is waiting for your donation."
But but...donation?
Have you turned the station?
Only took two hours or so.
My, humans are rather slow.
"I've been a salesmen for 23 years and I have a deal for you. I've discovered this product that will give you years to your life. It is secret so I will only share it with you. A little about me. I have a dog. I have a cat. I have a flamingo. I have herpes. I have a farm. I have the best product that you will ever buy."
But...herpes?
Worse than a case of the umm burpees?
And just like that.
You learned from the cat.
Like herpes they never go away.
The fake are fake any old day.
They are out to scam and steal.
That is their whole deal.
Anything can be typed on the internet.
Just look at what was typed by this pet.
And as for it being too much work.
Count the hours you put in for your hourly perk.
Guess what? They are the same.
This scamming isn't just some game.
It is the job they decided to do.
They want an hourly wage just like you.
"I have a limit on humans and would rather get along with dogs. I may sometimes chase frogs. I'm not overly sold on humans being wiser. Not even if they pretend they are an adviser. And if you really must know, this post took 14 minutes and 32 seconds to give a go. That is so much work that I deserve fifty bucks a pop. So put it in my tin can when you stop. Are you up on the scamming class? They sure are out there in everything in mass. We've all been taken at some point, in some way, by their sly pass, but now they can slyly suck on the gas from my little rhyming ass."
Just because you can see it, doesn't mean it isn't full of shit.
I'm glad I'm not having to be out there dating anymore. There are too many weirdos out there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, out there sucks indeed.
DeleteYou want a tip? Don't ever run away from Pat.
ReplyDeleteAlways with the offshore banking...
Little bugger would venture off if he had the chance. Have to watch that offshore banking.
DeleteMy students think everything they read on the internet is real. I find that odd because if you tell them the Internet is not a reputable source, they agree, and yet...
ReplyDeleteAnd yet they quote it and think everything they read on it is fact. Pffft.
DeleteMy students finslly understood that☺ Lovely kitty☺
DeleteGood they understood
DeleteThe scammers are getting lazy. They're starting to send out texts.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend;)
Yeah, I've seen texts too. Block is all they get.
DeleteThumbs up on the block.
DeleteAround the block
DeleteWould an ostrich head in a bed appeal to anyone? Something must have been lost in translation on that one!!!
ReplyDeleteIt could give some a thrill.
DeleteBut, but... she was Christian and put the Lord in her top 4 priorities! But, but... they said that they loved me!! Why must you always burst my bubble, cat?!
ReplyDeleteNow let’s say that the salesman did know the secret to a longer life and you ignored it just because you’re skeptical. I mean, if he was honest about the herpes maybe he’s being honest about the secret?! I’m just saying it couldn’t hurt to listen or try as long as the “secret” is within reason. Sometimes it worth the risk! Unless the risk is herpes, then just no.
That bubble needs a whack every now and then lol
DeleteIf they were honest it wouldn't be a secret and they wouldn't be charging you a crap ton of money for what is mostly sewage water in a jar. Yummy. All yours.
but if it's on the internet it must be true.
ReplyDeleteMust be must be must be keep thinking it.
DeleteSounds like 80% of the accounts I see on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteMost are that way, sadly.
DeleteWell that will make you shake in your boots!
ReplyDeleteShake and shuffle
DeleteSo many scammers out there, it wears you down trying to avoid them all. While they aren't scammers, I get so tired of the stay at home moms trying to sell me leggings, handbags, weight loss products, etc. I get so many of them on Instagram, "hey girl. love your account. wanna join my team? just need you to buy 3 of my products for a testimonial." pft. BLOCKED.
ReplyDeletehahaha I've even had a few of those on there already. Blocked is becoming my favorite button on there too.
DeleteI've had my encounter with scammers. Lesson learned.
ReplyDeletebetty
Lesson learned at least keeps you far away the next time.
DeleteMy ostrich can't strut but he can macarena.
ReplyDeleteYoutube hit
DeleteI'd pass on all of those and just hang with the cat.
ReplyDeleteBest way to be
DeleteJust have to be so careful on the internet. So many out there to get you. Pat, you have a
ReplyDeletegood day.
That there are indeed.
DeleteIt's risky to be naive in this world now!
ReplyDeleteBig risk for sure
DeleteI really don't want an ostrich in my bed. Those suckers bite.
ReplyDeleteBe a bad thing to happen at night
DeleteI'm immune to online scams and offers...I'm poor!
ReplyDeleteThat does help
DeleteHerpes and dating......yikes. There are lots of scams but sadly too many gullible people...I'm a skeptic, perhaps even when I don't need to be.
ReplyDeletesandy's Space
Sometimes being a skeptic can be a hindrance, but it keeps on away from scams, hopefully.
DeleteI've never like fishing or being phished. Haha
ReplyDeleteBoth stink
DeletePeople claim all kinds of crazy things. Be careful out there. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat they do. Watch what's in view
DeleteSo thoroughly tired of scammers I am
ReplyDeleteI wish they would all just scram
Or fall into the ocean
DeleteAnd create no commotion
While an ostrich can stick it in at my bed
ReplyDeleteI prefer that Aquaman do it instead.
Won't touch that
DeleteBut you can for the cat
But of course, I love that photo of the cat!
ReplyDeleteHow are you Pat!
Good to love indeed
DeleteStill alive at our feed
You know the saying: Some people will fall for anything.
ReplyDeleteThat they will indeed
DeleteI like how they just tried to slide in, "I have herpes." Too much. At first, I thought you were doing one of ^^Robyn's dating posts and thought, "Goodness, Pat has bad luck!" Thank God it was spam and not actual profiles. :)
ReplyDeleteElsie
Yeah, we haven't done a dating one for a while. Just spam and all the other nonsense that comes along with it. The cat will just bury them all in the litterbox.
DeleteIs that why I didn't grow rich from that Nigerian prince? Dang.
ReplyDeleteYep. Darn those princes.
DeleteHope things get slowed down.
DeleteHopefully so
DeleteIt's mind-boggling how much time and effort these people put into their slimy scams. And since they keep on doing it, too many people are still falling for their crap.
ReplyDeleteYep. all it takes is a few to get them some dough and then they move to the next scam.
DeletePopping round as I make my blog rounds, waving hello hoping all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteSandy's Space
Well as can be
DeleteHey, Pat! I hate scammers wherever they're at! We no longer answer our land line, because it usually is a scammer or a political call. You have to be so vigilant. I'm envious of Orlin's ability to chill! Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteGood way to be, don't answer and then they can't scam or yap away.
DeleteHope today is a good one. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteStill alive, so there is that haha
DeleteIndeed:) Hope you can take a few days vacay in the near future.
Deletehaha doubtful
DeleteI recently got an email from some foreign prince, who really wanted to send me 5 million as a reward for investing in something. Definitely seems legit, I think I'll do it!
ReplyDeletelol oh and be sure and share your oh so great fortune
DeleteThe cat certainly has it right about humans not being wiser. I think instead of evolving we are revolving:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there.
That we seem to be indeed. Week is almost over. One more day.
DeleteLove the picture of cat! Scammers are just brilliant. How could anyone possibly refuse them?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, who could refuse them. Pfft.
Delete"I'm an ostrich out for a stroll that wants to stick my head in your bed.
ReplyDeleteIs that what he said?
Or was he a she in the place to be?
In 2019 it's a question that needs to be posed
Or you might up getting nosed
Sniff sniff
Like a Biff Biff
Which do you prefer
When you're a cat and a sir?
Hey... grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat post
From coast to coast!
Don't mean to boast.
Stick that head
DeleteCould be dead
Or get a chop
May be a flop
Great posty post
Like a headless ghost
