Me and the social media scam artist

March 27, 2016 By Rory 2 Comments

I couldn’t believe how emphatically my luck had finally turned around.

I had just found this picture of Chris Judd just before he decided to leave West Coast to play for a horrible team.

And!

I was lucky enough to win half a million dollars!

Coincidentally, right after I met a real life social media giant’s representative for the first time.

However, on the cusp of a new and wonderful life, I screwed up.

If this ever happens to you, be nice and make sure you don’t miss the opportunity like I did.

At this point the line went dead and I was ‘unable to reply to the message’. Part of me was a little disappointed, but the message was open to be replied to a little later when my new friend returned.

After finally clarifying what Garratt needed, my last question went totally unanswered and that’s where I realised I’d lost my winnings.

(Note, I was ‘unable to reply to the message’ again so that’s why this last screenshot is different).

And that’s where it all ended. Or so I thought…

Then someone else contacted me. Someone who knew a hell of alot about me:

So I am just going to drop all of my interesting social media experiences in here.

Still thinking about how to respond to this.

    Tell them to convert the money to Nigerian dollars and feed them to the whales because they need saving.
    Stumbled upon your site whilst looking for daddy blogs on which to emulate my own.

About Rory


Welcome to Memoirs of the Mind.

Here you will find love, happiness, family, frienship, appreciation of all things beautiful, and continual jabs at intellectual dishonesty and corrupt politicians.

I am a social justice warrior, the gadfly of hypocrisy and advocate of the words 'guilty by omission'.

My aim is to call out the intellectually dishonest among us who refuse to question, communicate or critique.

My current passion is laughing at people who think fake news and Russia is an excuse for Donald Trump and analysing the whining capitulation that has followed.
