SCAM

Dear friend, I am extremely poor,
And need money for clothes and food.

Hi stranger, sorry to hear that;
It must be awful being nude!

Yes, very awful. Can you help?
I need all the help I can get.

I bet you do! Do you need much?
By the way, we have never met.

Yes friend, I need lots of money.
I’m grateful that you will assist.

Well, this seems such a great idea,
How could anybody resist?

That’s right. I’ll send you the address,
You’ll then send your cash directly.

Yes; no cheques, just cash that you want?
I’m glad this doesn’t sound fishy.

No fish involved. Just you and me.
I’d like this to be kept secret.

I’ll speak about this to no-one!
But then again, I might type it.

So you will help me with your cash?
You should send it quickly, I think.

Yes, I would really love to help.
But as it happens, I am skint.
