To make a long story short, a guy I became friends with on facebook seemed like he was going to try and scam me into his business or something. I truthfully didn't remember the guy, but he's friends with a bunch of people I went to High School with. He messaged me a few months ago asking to go to lunch, and I've since ignored him.

So...the following is word for word (minus parenthases and the .... for names), and these texts happened tonight.
Quote:
Random phone #: Adam, this is Derek P........-lead for a company in OC (OC = Orange county, CA, where I live), Armando G.... from Facebook recommended you for an expansion project. When's a good time for a call? Thx

Me: My name isn't adam. I don't know armando well. I'm not interested, thank you.

Random phone #: Sorry Alex(somehow, he got my name right), but due to ur response ur probably not qualified for what were doing! I am looking to fill these roles with more ambitious income savy people! thx

Me: Oh good, I'm definately not an ambitious or income-saavy person. See, my goal is to live under a blanket by the beach with a shopping cart full of whatever belongings I can scrounge together for the majority of my life. I mean, California has beautiful sunsets! I just can't pass up seeing those every evening!

Random phone #: I love that response! Be blessed!

Me: Thanks, you too!


This happened over a couple hours. I kinda wished he kept trying to recruit me. This could have been a fun dialogue.
Oh, and I promptly deleted my phone number from facebook.

So the point of this? Uhhh... to show something funny and to advice people not to post their phone #'s on facebook.

Reminds me of the time some guy I used to know from highschool tried adding me to his 'organization.' He apparently is planning world domination. Seriously.
I can't wait for the day schools get the money they need, and the military has to hold bake sales to afford bombs.

I would like to hear more about this. I might be interested. Is there opportunity for promotion?
Nothing to see here, move along.

I've gotten a couple of these same things, as well as a few people I work with.

Never did figure out what scam they were pulling.

Probably multi-level marketing.

A few people that weren't in my class in Highschool have tried this on me. Yeah, it's sad because they hire normal people to harass their friends on facebook. It should be illegal.

So I get a linkedin e-mail from someone from my college today.

I don't remember him, he graduated a year after me, and he is a different major.

His linkedin profile shows him as a member of "Prepaid Legal," which is essentially Amway with a different product.

People are storming in desperate for help from schools all over!

They don't hire as much as indoctrinate.

When I get weird invitations for lunch/dinner/parties via text from old "friends" it's usually to cram the bible down my throat.
