Roland Rat ?????????
After my dealings a couple of weeks ago, with the so called micro soft techs who insisted I should hand over my computer's innards so they could steal my identity, money, passwords etc......there has been another incident.
This time on facebook.
I received a 'friend request' from someone called Roland Muggins. The name says it all really.
As I didn't recognise the name I did what I always do and sent a message asking where I knew him from.
The reply immediately told me that this was dodgy.
I decided to see how long I could string him along. It turned out to be longer than I expected.
My friend, Gary, sent me a link.....click on it below if you wish.....which confirmed he was trying to scam me.

I must look a bit dopey or something........but I don't think I shall be hearing much from Roland in the future.
This is the whole message thread.........enjoy.

Hello...Am agent Roland from Facebook Head office and i have a good news for you regarding your Facebook account. - Susan Banks
Oh I am sure that if you are from Facebook's Head Office then it is quite easy for you to pass on any good news without needing to be a friend. I look forward to hearing this good news. - Roland Muggins
Before i proceed i will love to Know if you have heard about the ongoing Facebook organization promotion 2014 going on yet? - Roland Muggins
Have any of our out staff informed you about the Facebook organization promotion and your winning prize? - Susan Banks
Only the prize yak, as I mentioned, I am rather looking forward to its arrival. My llama has been lonely and it will be a wonderful friend for him. One of my friend's, Gary Peel, has said he will help me with it. - Roland Muggins
Okayyour profile was randomly selected in a open ballot system held in San Jose.. i am glad to inform you that you are one of the 50lucky selected winners that won the sum of $950,000.00 united states dollars.. - Roland Muggins
Whos your yak? - Susan Banks
Really.....have you been reading my replies? If you have then you know I have been awarded a prize yak by facebook and I am still waiting for it. Is there a reason for this delay? - Roland Muggins
Here are the 3 ways in which you can get your winnings
Option 1) Bank to Bank Wire Transfer Option 2) Cash Delivery Option 3) A.T.M CARD DeliveryWhich of the options do you choose? - Susan Banks
Oh...ermm...let me see.....I am confused. How will you wire the yak to me? I don't think it would be possible to get one from an ATM either. I am not sure of the cash value of the yak but even so I would prefer the animal itself as my lonely llama is waiting.If the size of the yak is a problem, I would be happy to accept 50 guinea pigs instead. You could always send them a few at a time then.

This was where Roland finally gave up, blocked me......and probably topped himself.........."Alas poor Roland, I knew him well."
A couple of my friends have now sent him friend requests........he might be sorry he tried this on me.
