My Life Hit a New High Today

So I get this email today on myspace that goes as follows...
The title is 'baby I like you.....'  Immediately dubious right?  Well I figure maybe it's a friend playing a joke or something similar, it's not as if it hadn't been done in the past...  So I open up the email and it just says 'hey I thought your profile was cool, send me an IM sometime.'  Innocuous right?  BUT WAIT, the aim name is wet20monika.  So immediately I'm like.....oh dear god it's some kind of virus or something I'm not going to deal with it.  Then Val basically told me to take the chance.  So I do.  Here is the resulting conversation...

Slayngren:  Hey, this is keith, you sent me a really cryptic message on myspace?
wet20monika:  Who is this?
Slayngren:  Some guy from myspace, I dunno you're the one that messaged me
wet20monika:  Oh hi babe, what's up?
Slayngren:  Do I know you in what is often referred to as 'real life?'
wet20monika:  Where are you from?  (She completely ignores the question....)
Slayngren:  Baltimore, though right now I'm down in southern md for work
wet20monika:  hey i'm about to hop on my cam with jenny, you should come see us, it's going to be fuuuun <3
Slayngren:  Oh.  you're one of those.  no thanks there hoss.
wet20monika:  I can show u how to watch for free if u promise not to tell anyone else how to do it???PLEASE
Slayngren:  negative and negative
Slayngren:  what if i had been like a 12 year old and shit?
Slayngren:  i'm all for free expression, but be sure you get your shit together a bit better for this sort of thing
wet20monika:  Well since its the law that u gotta be 18, u have to sign up with a credit card.. BUT as long as u cancel within 24 hours u dont get billed at all, PLEASE DON'T tell anyone I told you that, otherwise EVERYONE would do that,,,, freewebcamangels.com/monicabedroomcam/ so just sign up then cancel! Lemme know what name u use to sign up with so I know i'ts you!
Slayngren:  what makes you so sure that i'd even want to watch you? The whole webcam business, especially in this case, given that it is an outright business, seems very strange and in some cases outright demeaning; even a furthering of our culture's continued objectification of women
wet20monika:  Please dont mention anything about that in the chatroom once u get in ok?
Slayngren:  so you ARE in fact a robot aren't you
Slayngren:  and this is some kind of GIANT scam
Slayngren:  in which you steal my credit card #
Slayngren:  well sista, I don't HAVE a credit card
wet20monika:  OH SHIT.. k I'm late to start my show, I gotta get off aim...I'll see ya inside my chatroom babe.. remember not to mention how I showed u how to watch for free... use your aim name to sign in so i know it's you.. just cancel within 24 hours and u don't get billed babe... bring your lube lol
Slayngren:  .....idiot

I ... stand by my recommendation, because, goddamn Keith, you didn't tell me that her screenname included the word "WET". Clearly that ... changes things.

Goddamn Keith <3.

Yeah, I got the myspace e-mail too. She said she 'liked my style'. Haha. I then googled her aim name and your site came up. How wonderful.
April 19, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterLloyd
same as lloyd - i googled their name after getting a random myspace email and ended up here. you've done a great public service by posting this!
April 19, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterjen ever
Yeah I got a myspace message and googled her aim name like those others

Thanks for posting this, now I know to immediately delete her message :)

Who was the name of the myspace person? Because I got one today, that said "she liked my style." googled it, and got this. Only I didn't get a conversation. I just said, "Hi." and nothing happened. Someone should tell myspace about it.

The person who sent me the message was marimona.

Hey, I got her message too. I IMed her your site, but I think the bots been disabled, cause she didn't have anything to say in reply. I wouldn't bother disabling her, fellas, odds are they've got dozens of these bot accounts sitting around.

The only thing I wonder, is, what demographics they targeted for the bot?

I figure we're all male, but what age range?
April 20, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterryan
I got one too. Same exact format from wethotmona. I IMed her and looked up the site to makesure it wasn't a scam, that's when I found this.
April 20, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterryan
Hey ok im not a male, and she sent me one saying that she "liked my style." lol Andthen told me to im her but she would never tell me who she was. Oh and this time her name was wethotmona... thanks for posting this up!
April 20, 2005 | Unregistered Commentercourt
I just got that today in my myspace. I googled the screenname and found this site, thanks people!
April 21, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterkevin
I got the same message as everyone else did. And i mean word by word. Her name now on myspace is Irma and her screen name was wet20monika just in case anyone else gets the same thing....don't IM her. Someone should tell the "myspace people."
April 22, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterMary
Heh,I got the same damn message. Glad this site popped up when I googled it.
April 23, 2005 | Unregistered Commenterjeremiah
Dear Myspace Jerks,
I'm glad you all think I've done some kind of great service to you by posting this up so we can all share our experiences of having lead pipes shoved in our asses and hot porridge poured ever so slowly down the steamy cylinder...but if you're just going to post something like 'it happened to me too, I am also cool right?' please just do me a big favor and shove it.

Thanks,
The Management

I feel like this is group therapy.

Hello, my name is Anthony and I'm a victim.

I got the she "liked my style" bit too.
Google brought me here.

I'm hoping I can get some help from fellow victims.

I got hit with the same email, so I figured I would google the name and see if I could confirm what I though.

Mission accomplished.
April 24, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterShane
I also got that today in my myspace.
April 24, 2005 | Unregistered Commentersugarbearcsa
I gor this from her in my inbox at myspace.com:

Subject: i really like your style
Body: wet20monika is my screenname on aol i'll be on l8r

I immediately became suspicious because there seemed to be a girl interested in me. So I checked her profile and there's nothing on it with the exception on her sign (Capricorn), her age, and her location. Good thing I went to AOL and searched.
April 25, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterMike
And I don't have any style to begin with.
April 25, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterMike
Thank you for your site. I just got her email and was wondering who she was. I guess my style really sucks...
April 25, 2005 | Unregistered CommenterCulchy
I just got the message too....
I really do have style tho, maybe.
maybe not.
