My Online Romance With Jane Beckford Comes to an End
What follows, as God is my witness, is an unaltered conversation from someone who wanted to 'friend' me on Facebook. It's now been more than a month, so as you can see, with friends like these.... But Gosh, I hope "Jane" is alright.

Good day, I hope you doing good, and you are in good
health, don't want to waist your time, will go straight to the
point. I would need your help concerning some issues, coz
am looking for someone that I can trust. Before my father
died he left his inheritance in my name, I have contacted
the attorney for them to start the process so they can
release the funds to me. But I was told that I would have to
provide a guarantor to come claim the funds with me. It's a
huge sum inheritance. I would reward you handsomely if
you help me with it. I have contacted the financial home
concerning my it, and they are ready to contact you as
soon as possible. So when you are ready they would need
the following:
Your full name, address, email, tel/cell numbs .
Cant wait to get this across to you. Take care.

Gee Jane, I feel just awful about your poor father: I didn't eve know he was sick. Just let me know what I can do to help. Would it be better if I first sent you some money, so you can hire an attorney to help?

Sorry Jane, I was away, helping a cousin who got a turkey baster stuck in an unfortunate place (I don't know where you are, but here it's the holiday season). Anyway, it got stuck in his utensil drawer.
I tried to send my information, and my social security and passport numbers, to your attorney, but then I realized I don't have his or her address. I have an old coin collection too, that might show him we're serious. I have two Eisenhower silver dollars! -- And some bars of gold. (Actually, they're chocolate bars, covered in gold foil, but I think they'd pass). I'll try again to send all the information tomorrow.

OK, Jane, I emailed all my information. You should get the money anytime. Where do we meet, so I can get a refund for my expenses? I'm not looking for an actual part opf the reward, just enough to cover postage and handling. I think it comes to about $7.48, but I'll give you copies of the receipts when we meet. By the way, should we have lunch together? I usually eat around noon.

WHAT???? I sent it Wednesday! I got worried when I didn't hear from you. I thought you'd caught cold (you don't wear many clothes). Also, I wondered why you changed your profile picture. Did I send it to the wrong Jane Beckford? Tell me if you need the information again: I want to see you get what's coming to you! PS-- I'm guessing from the flower in your hair, you've been to Hawaii. I want to go one day: do they really have a volcano you can walk up to, and make s'mores?

No, No, No -- I DO want to help, Jane. I'm not pulling your legs. I must have sent the information to another Jane Beckford: because she's already started using our funds with the financial home. But she's not you, right? Tell me what I need to send, and where, and I will do it (again). I'm sorry if I offended you with personal questions, it's just that you look very trustworthy, and I thought if we're going to get through this, I'd like to know more about you. What's your favorite TV show? Mine is CBS2 News.
(I wonder why I never heard from Jane again....)
