Iranian/Canadian???? Do I need to buy a new globe?? We're only trying to enrich Uranium to make better bacon! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

John Bauldry's (Tigerboy1) crew, Giselle Vaziri is Iranian/Candian.

Not as weird as you think.

I wonder if Giselle's running a scam?

Why does Barati think you want more details about her?

Reply back with links to maps.google.com for directions to your country, and google.com for more details about your country.



OK, bad advice, don't bother to reply, but it did sound funny to me.

Ask her what she's wearing and what HER fantasies are. That's how I get rid of telemarketers! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think this one may be looking for you to ask those questions. Then you receive a picture that was originally nabbed from Google Images...and then she asks for your financial assistance to get to the USA.

Wait....I had too much detail in there didn't I? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Fact of the matter is that the registration engine for this forum is dated software and does not take into account all the new robots (and don't believe for a second that "barati" is a real person) that automatically and autonomously register for websites, and spam its users and forums.

This is why image recognition technology is now used for these types of registrations. IR is something that simple script programs cannot handle presently. (I'm sure nefarious butt is working on defeating these systems, if it hasn't already been done)

When I sold my last boat, I had an ad on my sailing club's website, and the class association's site. Somehow a robot caught it, and sent a hilarious letter which talked about me packaging the boat and sending it overseas by airmail, because it was exactly what he needed, right away!

I get all kinds of )(*(* wanting me to stand in as beneficiary and split the VAST fortunes they have. It is *)*)( and very illegal. Lady just got 10+ yrs the other day for this. I just delete them and move on
