Last Thursday I felt very tired and my brain just refused to be filled with anything. That kind of moment has happened a few times lately. Whenever my brain sent me that strike signal, usually I would do something to relax and rejuvenate it by either going to supermarket or... peeking into my Facebook account.
When I signed into my FB, I saw there were messages in the "Others" folders. Most of the time I ignore the "Others" folder because those are messages sent by some crazy conmen that are not in my friends list.
Most of the messages will be from foreigners and sound like these :
Hello dear, I just couldn't help myself to be captivated by your profile picture. You look beautiful. (this is when I put Katy, my cat, in my profile picture..!!!)
or
Hi.. my name is General Geoffrey Norman and I would be happy if you add me as you friend.
or
Hello beautiful...
or
You look very angelic and nice. I am dying and I need to give money to someone who will use it to help people. I trust you and I want to transfer my U$21,500,000 to you.
etc etc etc...
Last Thursday, I actually saw a message from an Indonesian guy. From the name, I remembered him as my ex-staff when I used to work in Jakarta. So I opened the message. He said Hi and asked if I used Blackberry. If yes, he would like to have my PIN. So I sent him my PIN.
When I tried to see his FB account, his picture was blurred so I couldn't him see clearly. Since he was not in my friends list, I couldn't see his photos and postings.
From what I remembered, he used to work with me for 2 years and resigned because he moved to another town to take care of his dying mother. He was a very serious and hard working accountant who would stay with me in the office until 11pm whenever we had to meet our deadlines. This was 20 years ago. So I was actually happy when he "found" me in FB.
We exchanged "Hello" and updated each other on our lives. Since I had a 3-day workshops on the weekend, I couldn't chat with him too long. I needed to prepare myself for the workshops.
On Friday morning when I was concentrating and trying to understand every word that my teacher said about iOS and Android App, this guy sent me a message in my blackberry. He wished me good morning and asked what I was doing. I wished him good morning and told him I was in a class so I couldn't chat.
Later that day, he sent me another message telling me that he thought I was beautiful.
I was like...???????
I thought that this guy must be out of his mind. I used to be his fierce boss for 2 years and now he texted me that..??
I didn't know what to react other than telling him,"Thank you but I am still in the class"
The following day, I woke up to a message from him (in my blackberry) : Good morning my pretty lady...
Again... I was like...????
I told my husband that I had a very bad feeling about this guy. There was no way he sent me those messages if he was normal. As always, my hubby dearest just shrugged it off. He told me that I attracted "weird people" in my life.
Last night, this guy texted me again.... He asked what I was doing. He also told me how much he missed me.
Helloooooo...??? Will you tell your fierce ex-boss that you miss her/him?
I didn't know what to answer....... But after several minutes I told him that sometimes I do miss our ex-colleagues too and I keep in touch with them via FB. At this moment, I tried to remember who his closest colleagues were. I needed to contact them to inquire if he was OK. Unfortunately I lost contacts with most of them. I only keep in touch with those who have FB account.
After exchanging more text messages, I felt weirder and weirder.
This morning he texted me again. He told me that he really really missed me. He told me that I looked like an angel (bidadari).
Aiyoooooo.... Cannot tahan laaaa... I had to whack his head...!!! I was sure that he was not well. I needed to help him.. Poor guy, maybe he was having marital problem, maybe accounting made him crazy or maybe he swallowed some wrong pills.... I had to help him.
So I probed him with questions about his lives.
After ding dong ding dong here and there.... Finally he confessed...
We never met...!!!!! He never knew me before last weekend...
He is not my ex-staff. He saw my picture profile and contacted me. He happened to use the same name with my ex-staff. He also didn't know that I have a friend with the same name. He told me that he was "captivated' (AGAIN) by my picture in FB. The last time I checked, my picture was a blurred black and white old photo. How can someone be "captivated" by that picture...??
Aaaarrgggghhhhh...
Wasting my time. Definitely a conman.
DELETE and BLOCK...
