I was on Skype today and got an instant message from some girl:

The Instant message goes like this:

hello there! I was checking people near me and i came across your page, and you seemed interesting.. 😉

Mary Fowler says: Im not crazy about Skype though … want to check out my picture and profile ?

use this link: http://www.matchshake.com/?id=4004&profile=rockergrl82

you just sign in (it’s free) to get to me, my username’s rockergrl82.

[ad]It looks like this is an Bot to help fool you into thinking it is a real person.  The link they give me is a redirect link that lands me on “Friendjungle.com”.  I am sure no matter what you answer with the question it asks that it will still send you a link.   You can however tell Skype to only allow chat from people on your contact list but that is totally up to you.   There is a story from the Rip-off Report about Friendjungle.com, so it looks like they went from text messaging to Skype chat.  According to Yahoo Answers, this is more or less a way for them to get money from you.   You sign up and before you realize it they are charging your card, so it looks really shady.   Although, To Friendjungle credit, they do have a scam section to help you report these types of incidents.   I don’t know if this works well or not but you can at least try.

There are some good comments about this Friendjungle on other sites that really make me wonder if they just don’t want your money.  If you get this type of message from someone, either through SMS or Skype, I’d just go along with my life and not register there are more better places to go to find your true love.
