This happened about three years ago , and my first year being exposed to social networking. I got this invite from a guy who wants to be in my list. So i accepted him.He looked decent wearing a business suit,and he is a white guy.He was kinda nice and telling me about his job in Africa and that he's got a kid in Germany who is under the care of a nanny. He showed me a picture of his kid and when I said the kid is cute , he asked me if I would consider taking care of the kid someday for he is not satisfied with the kid's nanny.Amazing huh? One day , he message me if he could channel his money through me and I send it to his kid in Germany. I asked him why he can't send it directly to Germany, and he said something's wrong with some communication lines with Germany. Amazing huh? Ok, believe it or not, I entertained it. Now the next question he asked me is my bank account number where he will deposit his money.Amazing huh? I deleted him, blocked him and reported him to the Admin.(^_^) Hehehehe (^_^)

Yes it was an experience to remember.By the way, I found out too that he's got multiple accounts there with a little variation in his username. And he turned out to be a black guy.So he was using another's picture up there in his profile.Amazing huh? (^_*)
