(Joe says: "Carrie was a one-night stand I had in mid-2005. I received this message in late 2007. I don't recall her leaving any money whatsoever:")
Hey Joe this is Carrie. How are you? I think I left some money at your house when i was there so let me know when I can come by to pick it up!
Hope you are well,
Carrie

Dear Carrie:
I'm sorry, but if you left anything here, it's long gone. Take care.

Carrie Responds:
How would you like a lawsuit, then? My boyfriend is a lawyer. Afriad yet? He has won every case and I plan to tell him about yout extortion scheme. There is a long statute of limitations on theft, buddy, and you're in the middle of a really big problem that's only going to get bigger for you. Swallow some pride and give me back my money.

Joe Responds:
How much did you leave here?
************************************
Carrie Responds:
About $35-$40. Don't worry about interest. You can send it over as soon as possible!

Joe Responds:
I only found 27 cents behind my bed. What's your address?
************************************
Carrie Responds:
I'll see you in court. Forwarding these to my bf! :)

(Joe says: "Never heard from her after that. It's a pity, as I really wanted to see how it would've played out in court in front of her boyfriend with a frank description of our actions leading up to the 'loss' of her money.")
Oh wow. I was really expecting a larger amount of money there. How bizarre.
ReplyDeleteThe small amount is the most she could realistically get from anyone stupid enough to fall for such a scam. She probably sent these to a few of her one night stands.
ReplyDeleteI also doubt her boyfriend was a lawyer.
Why does your one night stand have your email address?
ReplyDeleteThat's just how it happens sometimes. I've given my number to one night stands and sometimes e-mail addresses.
DeleteOP should have offered to mail it to her boyfriend directly, along with a rating of one to five stars.
ReplyDeleteI was honestly expecting even less money. Like 5-10 dollars. 40 almost legitimizes it (well no, not after 2 years, but I digress). I guess I've been taught to expect super crazy.
ReplyDeleteI can't even fathom the amount of desperation that would go into trying to shake down a former one-night-stand for $35 bucks. That's just a few steps above sucking cocks behind a dumpster on the desperate-o-meter.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, she should have just said she was down on her luck and would he give her some money? That's pitiful too, but seems more noble somehow.
Hyperfocus is one of my new favorite commenters, just FYI.
